Compose independent cards with Discovery and optional Nexus

Connect original selected-deck Discovery setup, optional Nexus/World/Skills/phase modules and physical card consumers through shared public capabilities. Retain Cunning revealed-location arrival, Sandtrout suppression, paid nested R/Harass and actual later Recruits revival. Preserve native trained-capture and unrelated-preview boundaries. Validation: frozen 15-file118/118, types/lint/build and six finite original-action/rendered-control programmes; four minimal legal policies. External smoke corrections changed no application source. Existing persistent notices also rechecked23/23. Full combinations, assurance and deployed acceptance remain open; no saved-game, restart or deployment operation.

 Original source audit, 10 September 2026, with dated bounded runtime follow-ups below. This document establishes the printed component inventory, source protocol and implementation boundaries; none lifts expansion release gates. The ordinary worm-triggered alliance Nexus already in the engine is distinct from this optional card module.

+## Independent cards with Discovery — 18 October 2026
+
+**Prototyped / Partial.** The independent three-card variant now composes with
+original Discovery setup for registered unique two-through-six-seat rosters:
+classics or natives from zero through three selected Ix/CHOAM/Ecaz families.
+A selected deck does not require its native seat. Nexus is optional, as are
+original Homeworlds, all14 Skills, Tech3+ and Advanced Strongholds. The printed
+independence of the four E3 variants is the existing authority in
+[the faction source audit](EXPANSION_FACTIONS_PROTOTYPE.md#source-and-deck-boundary).
+No new numerical or timing interpretation is introduced.
+
+The shared public configuration capability admits the original Discovery7/eight
+token inventory and selected36/38/50 Treachery stock. Fresh setup still checks
+original undealt components and native force/card inventories. With Nexus it
+initializes original twelve-card stock and actual native reaction state; without
+Nexus it creates none of those effects. Original trained E3/Harkonnen and
+unrelated-preview exclusions remain. Runtime capability no longer disappears
+merely because Sandtrout, a token, stash or Maker frame exists. Specific card,
+occurrence, response, reserve-fee, physical allocation and native arrival checks
+remain authoritative; this does not certify every transient interaction.
+
+Original action programmes now cover paid finder shipment, actual supply-token
+placement, private inspection/public reveal and next-turn free entry before
+native Fremen Cunning lands in revealed Cistern. Native Fremen retains printed
+Hiereg knowledge before anyone inspects it. A separate original E1 Sandtrout
+breaks an earned alliance, suppresses its next worm, doubles its immediate land
+replacement and retains the unused Fremen card. No false Nexus draw is added.
+
+A real Jacurutu reveal/free entry then paid enemy shipment produces a nested
+battle. Actually purchased Reinforcements pays three original reserves before
+Harass returns the two undialed counters. Advanced native Emperor fees use
+Kaitain normals; Sardaukar return to Salusa. Real fee/dial casualties then fund
+next-turn Recruits, not a staged Tank count. Same-plan fee-before-return and
+other previously recorded policies remain provisional. Two no-Nexus Duke pure
+quote guards now admit the untrained Advanced Ecaz/Harkonnen composition;
+trained actual-E3/Harkonnen stays excluded. This is quote evidence, not a new
+complete acquisition/death/revival programme.
+
+Evidence: [genuine host entry](../tests/independent-discovery-nexus-entry.test.ts),
+[actual Cunning/Sandtrout](../tests/independent-discovery-cards.test.ts),
+[nested physical card battles/revival](../tests/independent-discovery-battles.test.ts),

+Cunning97/359 actions; Sandtrout155; Basic no-Nexus75+4 and Nexus78+5 battle;
+selected50 World battle149+8 followed by52 original Revival actions. Four

+Reinforcements plans. No AI refinement/calibration.

+Private proof is outside Git at

+at base `b4157aaa9bb89c9643704985eb98b0a630881ded`.
+The external programme first expected the wrong entry label, then expected the
+reserve selector before selecting its card. Its corrected actual-table render
+and shared selector from the real quote pass without application changes.
+`runtime-smoke.json` records counts and limitations; HTML, per-file hashes and
+post-proof prose overlay accompany it. Framework aliases/CSS stubs mean no
