+# Kwisatz Haderach component inspection
+
+21 September 2026. Prototyped component presentation; Advanced and expansion
+release gates remain closed. Original artwork and crisp interface text present
+the Atreides companion separately from ordinary leader and Traitor identities.
+The inspector explains its conditional strength, protection, losses, territorial
+limit, death and separate revival. It does not submit or alter a battle plan.
+
+## Connected surfaces and privacy
+
+- The owning Advanced Atreides panel and battle composer use only `me.kwisatz`:
+  exact cumulative battle losses, activation, death and this-turn usage. A capped
+  seven-loss progress bar accompanies the exact count. The inspector explains
+  an unavailable, dead, canceled or already-used-in-another-territory state.
+- Public revealed plans and permitted Atreides full-plan inspection pass only
+  the existing inclusion boolean. They never pass an owner's loss count or live
+  availability. The existing reveal and inspection-owner guards remain intact.
+- The reference shows a static component with no live game state. Its topic is
+  linked from Advanced combat and the implementation checklist.
+
+The unchanged `viewGame` projection authorizes owner data, including after JSON
+restoration. Allies do not receive it. `KwisatzInspector` accepts no game, seat,
+action or authoritative deck. The display helper explains already-projected
+state; normal engine validation remains authoritative. Normal revival price,
+cycle and eligibility are still provided by the existing revival controls.
+No save schema, migration, network behavior or AI strategy changes.
+
+## Authority and remaining work
+
+Existing source records are the [classic GF9 rulebook, p.17](https://www.gf9games.com/dunegame/wp-content/uploads/Dune-Rulebook.pdf#page=17),
+the [November 2020 FAQ, p.9](https://www.gf9games.com/dune/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Dune-FAQ-Nov-2020.pdf#page=9)
+and the [Ghola lifecycle ruling](GHOLA_LIFECYCLE_AND_AI.md).
+The base PDF refresh returned HTTP 403 on 21 September; this checkpoint uses
+the previously recorded source contract and existing tested engine behavior,
+not a claim of a newly retrieved printed face. Rules prose is an original
+paraphrase. The companion face and progress bar are an interface adaptation;
+exact manufactured layout and every printed detail still require final review.
+
+The portrait was generated once with the built-in image tool, inspected and
+bundled locally. Provenance and dimensions are recorded in
+`public/art/leaders/kwisatz-generation.json`. The character has blue irises, not
+fully blue sclera; final art refinement remains open. It is not an ordinary
+leader, Traitor or Face Dancer identity and is not added to those catalogs.
+
+Recorded Suk Graduate, Reinforcements and Smuggler combinations remain governed
+by [pending rule decisions](RULE_DECISIONS.md). The inspector does not resolve
+them, enable modules or certify the Advanced game.
+
+Focused tests exercise real sealed/revealed engine projections, opponent/ally
+privacy, basic-mode absence, JSON restoration, display states and the bundled
+asset. The full-plan rendering test uses an explicitly constructed authorized
+view and separately verifies its existing owner/reveal guard; it does not prove
+every source timing window. Required broad checks, independent review, browser
+controls and saved-game preservation are recorded in the private checkpoint.
