+## Recommended quiet-phase Duke Cunning — 14 October 2026
+
+Remove the prototype's Battle-only fence: the printed face specifies
+current-turn tenure, not a phase. Reuse the existing no-phase Nexus clean
+boundary and keep all committed native decisions, auctions, Battle,
+responses and physical continuation guards. No new public pause or
+interrupt priority is inferred. This quiet ordering is the conservative
+product composition, not a new publisher priority ruling.
+
+New version3 history binds the actual phase; old unversioned/version2
+Battle-only records remain strict. Preserve one-battle/current-turn tenure,
+the provisional captured return policy and the binding Ecaz-only revival
+exclusion. No roster or shared-training gate is widened.

 | CHOAM Secret Ally battle timing | The printed after-victory inspection is optional and the Nexus identity stays secret. The connected prototype chooses a uniform use-or-continue window for every winner when Nexus is enabled and CHOAM absent; nonholders pass, while a holder may decide after the result. This privacy-preserving prompt is a product inference, not publisher text. A holder-only pause would reveal custody and a precommitment would remove the printed choice. Ordinary Karama cancellation remains unestablished by retrieved sources; no response is invented. | [After-victory inspection boundary](NEXUS_CHOAM_SECRET_ALLY.md#after-victory-inspection-audit) |
 | Moritani Secret Ally battle timing | The printed after-loss retention is optional and the Nexus card remains secret. The connected prototype offers the same choice to every loser when Moritani is absent and at least one publicly revealed played card is retainable; a loser with no eligible public card has no useful choice, independent of hidden custody. Only an unallied holder may spend the physical card. This prompt is a privacy-preserving product inference, not publisher timing text. Native Moritani alliance retention and its Karama response remain separate; no generic Secret Ally counter is invented. | [Nexus retention boundary](NEXUS_CARD_RULES.md#moritani-secret-ally-retention-timing) |
 | Ecaz Secret Ally traitor inquiry | The printed panel asks one selected player whether they hold any of the holder's leaders as Traitors, without identifying a leader; it specifies neither native-versus-controlled scope nor answer audience. The connected prototype chooses native printed faction leaders (including dead/captured), ordinary Traitor Cards rather than Face Dancers, and a holder-only historical yes/no. This is a privacy-preserving product interpretation, **not** a publisher ruling. Foreign Ghola/captive scope and table-wide disclosure remain release boundaries. | [Ecaz inquiry source and bounded runtime](NEXUS_ECAZ_RULES.md#bounded-secret-ally-traitor-inquiry-runtime) |
-| Ecaz native Nexus Cunning timing | Printed Cunning takes Duke for this turn even from capture, Tanks or Ghola, without a phase. Quiet Battle remains a product boundary. Original standalone Ecaz/no-Skills Advanced-Harkonnen capture and liberation now use provisional capture-before-final-release and no-captor-restoration policies. Tanks preserve deaths and independently reset use. Actual Ecaz Ghola returns set aside before separate Cunning; foreign-Ghola revival remains forbidden by Ecaz-only permission. Paired/Skills and broader timing stay guarded. | [Current source and bounded runtime](NEXUS_ECAZ_RULES.md#original-captured-duke-and-ecaz-ghola-composition--14-october-2026) |
+| Ecaz native Nexus Cunning timing | Printed Cunning takes Duke for this turn even from capture, Tanks or Ghola, without a phase. Original quiet boundaries in any phase now replace the Battle-only prototype fence, without interrupting committed parents or changing native chooser/continuation. Capture ordering/no-captor-restoration and independent Tanks resurrection remain provisional compositions. Actual Ecaz Ghola returns set aside before separate Cunning; foreign revival stays forbidden.

 | Emperor Secret Ally purchase timing | Uniform buyer/committed-beneficiary confirmation prevents a holder-only pause disclosing hidden eligibility; no beneficiary veto. Original classic/native bank admission, Richese cache/Advanced Black Market, Ambassador and joint special Karama keep distinct sources. Uniform timing and seller/direct compositions remain visibly provisional recommendations, not publisher timing rulings. Old bank receipt stays unchanged; strict legacy physical revival never broadens.

 | Discovery prototype inferences | Free entry uses storm order and ordinary source-storm restrictions; these are general-rule inferences. Great Maker currently follows ordinary first-turn worm skipping and Sandtrout suppression; an exhausted token type creates no replacement token. These preserve current source interpretation and physical inventory but are not separately confirmed rulings or complete combined-module certification. | [Interpretations for refinement](DISCOVERY_PROTOTYPE.md#interpretations-retained-for-refinement) |
