 ## Current checkpoint and work
 
+**Advanced Mentat victory timing — 29 October. Prototyped / Partial.**
+Fresh Advanced non-CHOAM phases now check victory after players finish their
+Mentat opportunities, so a real Mentat action can precede the result. The
+existing CHOAM closing check remains. A shared-victory agreement resumes the
+completed phase once; Basic and already-open older non-CHOAM phases retain their
+previous opening-time behavior. Moritani placement, cancellation and Stronghold
+Card settlement use the same new boundary. Genuine setups with staged conserved
+winning positions exercise a binding Truthtrance/bribe, no winner, final-turn
+fallback, Tech and Ecaz Homeworld outcomes, all four legal bot profiles, and
+Moritani placement choices. Twelve related files pass 103 cases, including eight
+new cases; type checking, lint and the production build pass. The end-of-phase
+ordering is a provisional online interpretation, not explicit source timing;
+complete combinations and deployed acceptance remain open.

+The supplied revision, physical p. 14 (printed p. 12), places victory during
+Mentat; it does not prescribe an ordering for ordinary optional actions. Fresh
+Advanced non-CHOAM phases now provisionally check after players finish those
+opportunities, matching the existing CHOAM closing check. Moritani placement
+and Extortion retain their opening order and do not trigger an early check.
+An accepted shared-victory agreement advances the completed phase once. Basic
+and previously opened unstamped non-CHOAM Mentat phases retain their original
+opening-time check and saved agreement continuations. This is an online timing
+interpretation, not a publisher clarification or complete victory certification.
