+**Advanced Emperor auction funding — 29 October. Prototyped / Partial.**
+New ordinary and Richese auction invoices route the Emperor's direct allied
+contribution to the bank under the supplied Advanced source, while direct gifts
+remain buyer-owned and Basic keeps its existing payment rule. Pair and staged
+classic group bids, Richese lots and selected payment effects have focused
+coverage: nine changed-path files pass 69 cases, and the two related paired
+Bureaucrat files pass 102 cases after updating their expectations. Typecheck,
+lint and build pass.
+An additional five-file legacy payment run exposed 56 failures at the previous
+commit and 58 here: 55 failure names overlap, one Charity fixture failure varied
+between runs, and the two new outdated expectations were corrected afterward.
+Homeworld fixture repair and a clean broader run remain open. Current-turn negative bribe answers also permit group funding without
+releasing the answer, and group members are excluded from bribe recipient
+controls. Full group games and broader module interactions remain open.
