 # Dune implementation status
 
+## 16 October 2026 — Semuta resumes printed native specials and private CHOAM cashout
+
+Separated validated native activation cost from the single native effect
+body. Original public intent validation and Kull callers retain their
+contract. Eleven pre-effect disposal sites use the committed-cost path;
+Emperor's existing post-revival disposal remains afterward. Joint Richese/
+Nexus receipt/card ordering remains before the actual Treachery cost.
+No native cost or effect is duplicated, and recovery does not require the
+discarded card to remain in its original hand.
+
+`specialKaramaDiscard` binds the original intent, controls, phase, stock,
+books, hand/custody and once-use. Its `effect` stage resumes the original
+native suffix; `complete` retires an already-earned Emperor return.
+CHOAM's selected cards now form a distinct private `cashout` batch after
+one three-spice-each credit. Commit before inspection, select one fresh
+physical card; the old activation is excluded and no payout repeats.
+
+Affected sixteen-file **224/224** passes, including thirteen new behavior
+cases. Twenty-six runtime/policy paths pass: eight original-action Guild
+paths including four existing policies, and eighteen explicitly controlled
+native-effect paths. Controlled cases cover Emperor forces/leader, CHOAM,
+Richese, Ixians, Tleilaxu, Fremen, Atreides and Harkonnen. Ordinary original
+Guild proof uses actual paid cache/normal auctions and native shipping.
+Controlled acquisitions/stocks/phase are explicitly disclosed, not original
+acquisition or full-game evidence.
+
+Four actual styled390×844 GameTable journeys pass: original reserve stop
+cost claim plus real Atreides movement; original typed stop cost all-seat
+decline; controlled CHOAM initial cost decline then private Kulon claim
+after20→26 credit; controlled Emperor cost claim after native17→19 reserves/
+3→1 Tanks, with no second return. Public inspectors show native pools.
+Two scenes are original-action and two controlled. Viewport/scroll width390,
+no browser/application errors. Existing income and refund fixtures now
+perform actual neutral cost passes. Removed a crypto-call-count assertion
+while retaining the real private-identity and hand-transfer outcomes;
+no implementation/tactical pin was added.
+
+Only an owned memory-only host started/stopped. No worker, D1, authenticated
+saved room, human server, deployed revision or gate was exercised or changed.
+Outside-Git source/API/table proof and four initial scenes remain under
+`/tmp/dune-semuta-special-*20261016*`. Advanced Ecaz/Moritani Semuta entries
+retain their original gates; converted costs, wider combinations and final

+`specialKaramaDiscard` retains the validated original native intent, cost,

+authenticated saved discard can invoke the single native effect body with
+that committed canonical card even after it moves to the claimant.
+
+- `effect`: the native pre-effect printed cost is fresh; resume its original
+  selection/permission/prevention/purchase/movement once.
+- `complete`: native Emperor revival and its original ledger already
+  committed before disposal. Retire the cost event without another return.
+- `cashout`: CHOAM's selected hand cards are one private simultaneous batch
+  after the original credit. Commit before inspection, choose one fresh
+  other-player card, and never repeat credit or include the earlier cost.
+
+Original joint Richese/Nexus cost ordering, once-use, original typed source,

+and obligations, not a stale replacement Game. Existing paid purchase-income
+fixtures and price-stop consumers now issue actual neutral passes before

+`specialKaramaDiscard` now offers a printed special-Karama activation cost
+at its native disposal point. A single native effect implementation serves
+direct activation and the authenticated committed-cost continuation; recovery
+does not require the cost to remain in its former owner's hand. Original
+source controls, resources, selections, once-use and pending obligations stay
+bound, not restored from a replacement Game.
+
+For the native pre-effect costs, claim/pass resumes the original effect once:
+Guild prevention (reserve/typed), Richese acquisition, Ix movement, Tleilaxu
+prevention, Fremen worm, Atreides inspection and Harkonnen draw/return retain
+their sources. Original Emperor force/leader revival already precedes its
+cost disposal; its `complete` stage offers recovery **after** that earned
+return and never revives again. Existing joint Richese/Nexus cost ordering
+remains before Treachery disposal; its native contract is unchanged.
+
+CHOAM has two different events. Its public activation cost precedes cashout.
+The selected ordinary hand cards then form one **private simultaneous batch**
+after their existing three-spice-each credit. Declining the cost may retain
+Semuta to commit and inspect that later batch; select only one fresh card,
+never the old activation or one per discarded card. Claim/pass cannot credit
+again. These are the existing printed/native orders, not a newly found
+publisher timing FAQ.
+
+Affected sixteen-file **224/224** passes, including thirteen new behavior
+cases. Twenty-six runtime/policy paths pass: eight original-action Guild
+paths (including four existing profiles) and eighteen explicitly controlled
+native-effect paths across the nine other admitted kind variants. Original
+Guild/Atreides cards are bought through real normal/cache auctions.
+Controlled sources disclose conserved later hands/armies/wallets/phase,
+then use actual native declarations and reactions; they are not original
+acquisition or full-game proof.

+decline/prevention; controlled CHOAM cost decline then private Kulon selection
+after credit20→26; controlled Emperor cost claim after reserves17→19/Tanks3→1,
