Under the 8 October Basic-first prototype instruction, Basic now provisionally uses the main p8 paragraph: ceiling contribution/loss and floor survivors, with a visible control warning. This is not a numerical ruling by the user or designer. Advanced retains its separately authorized source. The earlier false attribution to Jack Reda remains withdrawn.

+Native Ecaz/classic all-fourteen Skills no longer needs Nexus Cards or
+Homeworlds to resolve its ordinary allied Arrakis battle. The original native
+profile now feeds the existing coalition and fresh setup marks participation in
+Basic as well as Advanced. The selected lead supplies its own plan/skill; fixed
+Ecaz and variable allied armies keep separate physical losses, cancellation,
+normal skill effects and mandatory card cleanup.
+
+This removes an artificial setup dependency, not the native profile's source
+boundaries: Advanced Harkonnen, shared-Duke assignment and unsupported
+roster/module combinations remain guarded. No starting Nexus hand or World
+custody is created for Skills-only games, and no played table is redealt.
+
+Both actual Skills-only normal starts failed at coalition admission before the
+change; Basic and Advanced now reach Collection through original setup, a real
+worm alliance and paid shipments. Four policies are exercised in each mode
+with and without Worlds, retaining all physical counters. The affected
