+## Staged group alliances — 28 October 2026

+The unexposed Basic classic group prototype treats each member as allied to
+both others for ordinary bribes and for the nonallied public-deal rule.
+Targets, offer controls, acceptance and Truthtrance bribe projections use the
+same current membership. The existing provisional pairwise policy for
+multi-party offers applies to all group edges. Existing records are not
+rewritten when alliances change: an offer may still be declined or withdrawn,
+an active agreement may be released, and a deferred bribe to a newly allied
+recipient stays pending while temporarily unavailable, subject to the existing
+expiry policy. No group mode is exposed in the lobby; other group interactions
+and complete rules acceptance remain unfinished.
