+
+The [officially permitted combination](SMUGGLER_NO_FIELD.md) now ships one
+separate free physical force alongside a concealed marker at its unchanged price.
+The private panel, shared AI quote, both cancellation/interception stages and saved
+continuation are connected. Revealing zero/three/five tokens preserves all physical
+forces; bots can reveal a zero marker accompanied by a real force before movement.
+Genuine CHOAM & Richese Leader Skills setup uses the sourced two-card deck addition
+or replacement without duplicate Ix cards. Public starts remain gated.
+
+After the outage report, the healthy existing server was reused. All 529 opening
+games and their seat/recovery records matched the private backup. Focused tests,
+independent recovery review, browser evidence, required broad checks and final
+preservation/Git results are recorded in the checkpoint commit and private report.
+Allied No-Field and remaining combined modes are unfinished.
+
+The first broad check exposed two deck/gate expectations and a randomized
+recovery test incorrectly asking an unautomated human seat for an AI action.
+The deck assertions now match the sourced inventory while other audit starts
+retain their gate. The recovery test now submits an explicit legal human choice.

+# Smuggler and Richese No-Field prototype
+
+13 September 2026. **Prototyped**, with **Partial** rules coverage. This connects
+one owned Richese No-Field shipment with Leader Skills in the CHOAM & Richese
+development setup. Public expansion/module starts and publication remain gated.
+
+## Source and physical contract
+
+The [publisher CHOAM & Richese rulebook](https://www.gf9games.com/dune/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/CHOAM-Rulebook-low-res.pdf),
+page 12, explicitly allows Richese to accompany its No-Field with the free
+Smuggler force when entering an empty territory. This resolves the combination
+without a new user ruling. The local source archive preserves the publisher PDF;
+the original URL returned HTTP 403 during this follow-up.
+
+The marker remains a shipment of one at its ordinary price. One separate actual
+reserve force arrives alongside it for free. The hidden token keeps its value
+of zero, three or five. Revealing it later adds at most that many of the reserves
+then available; it does not withdraw or recreate the companion again. A zero
+token can therefore accompany one real force. Without a reserve force, ordinary
+No-Field shipping remains available but the Smuggler option does not.
+
+As in [ordinary Smuggler shipping](SMUGGLER_SHIPMENT.md), eligibility requires a
+living native face-up trainer and a wholly empty destination territory before
+arrival. Existing friendly/enemy forces, advisors and No-Field presence count.
+The checkbox is optional and starts unchecked. Omission or false preserves the
+ordinary concealed-marker shipment. Guild pricing, recipient income and ally
+funding use the unchanged one-marker cost.
+
+## Connected paths
+
+A shared public-custody quote drives validation, the private No-Field panel and
+all four AI profiles. Public views display the real companion and concealed
+marker separately; neither the token identity nor the internal saved proof is
+disclosed to opponents. Bots can reveal a zero-valued marker before moving when
+their real force is alongside it, using the existing voluntary reveal action.
+
+New owned No-Field declarations in Leader Skills games bind the chosen token,
+event, optional companion and payment to exactly one initial cancellation window
+or later Advanced Guild decision, including saved card interruptions. JSON/SQLite
+continuation revalidates that original declaration before action or projection.
+Initial Karama cancellation preserves reserves, payment, marker history and the
+ordinary shipment opportunity. The later Guild stop likewise transfers no
+companion; it retains the existing consumed-opportunity behavior. Malformed or
+stale declarations reject without mutating their input.
+
+Genuine development setup now accepts the single CHOAM & Richese expansion with
+Leader Skills. Page 4 adds Poison Tooth and Artillery Strike when Ix is absent,
+or replaces those two when Ix is included. Deck assembly reuses their existing
+physical IDs and implemented updated effects, and retains two Karama cards.
+This deck prerequisite does not certify every CHOAM/Richese skill interaction.
+Other audit initializers retain their existing CHOAM combination gate.
+
+## Evidence and remaining work
+
+Focused tests cover all token values, scarce reserves, prices, optional decline,
+private projections, both pending stages, initial cancellation, saved corruption,
+all four bots and physical conservation. Independent recovery review and broad
+checkpoint evidence are recorded with the commit. Browser acceptance uses a
+fresh genuine setup and an explicitly staged shipment boundary; other saved
+games remain untouched. Targeted scenarios establish this effect, not complete
+expansion acceptance or calibrated AI strategy.
+
+Two genuine four-profile Basic/Advanced samples finished with 77/116 accepted
+actions, 3/4 JSON restorations and no rejected candidates. The Advanced sample
+used one companion shipment and later revealed its token; the Basic sample did
+not use the new effect. Physical force and skill-card custody remained valid.
+
+A new browser room assigned the genuinely offered Smuggler to Ein Calimar.
+After a documented shipment-boundary fixture, the human chose token five and
+enabled the unchecked companion option. One spice paid for a marker and one
+real force; refresh restored nineteen reserves. Voluntary reveal produced six
+real forces and fourteen reserves. Four spice, Crysknife and the Soo-Soo Sook
+traitor remained unchanged through the final refresh.
+
+Allied No-Field Smuggler composition, Homeworlds, Nexus, Discoveries, Stronghold
+Cards, Tech Tokens and other combined modes remain outside this prototype.
+Smuggler battle collection still needs its recorded reveal/survival settlement.
+The existing [Leader Skills material questions](LEADER_SKILLS_RULES.md#material-boundaries-not-settled-by-the-sources)
+remain pending.
