Connect optional Smuggler reserve shipment and saved interception

Prototype one free accompanying force into an empty territory with explicit opt-out, shared human/AI pricing, physical elite custody and Guild recipient accounting. Bind pending quotes to their unique saved Guild decision; preserve legacy unstamped full-price declarations. Smuggler battle collection and combined modules remain unfinished and gated. Repair a randomly dealt-out Karama fixture by relocating its actual physical card without changing inventory.

Validation: 70 focused tests; typecheck, lint, 4477 offline tests, production build and 43 HTTP tests passed. Independent rules/persistence review completed, including interruption and cancellation. Browser checked the price toggle, three arrivals for two spice, and refresh with unchanged private cards. Two genuine four-profile Basic/Advanced samples completed without rejected candidates but did not use Smuggler.

Preserved all 427 opening rooms and original seat/recovery rows (461 rooms after QA/HTTP). SQLite integrity and foreign keys passed. Server remained healthy after the reported power outage; no restart or reset.

+zone and asserts the complete physical card inventory is unchanged.

+The browser exercised the price toggle, three physical arrivals for two spice
+and refresh with the same private hand. Two Basic/Advanced samples finished
+without rejected candidates but did not use Smuggler; targeted checks cover it.

+# Smuggler normal shipment prototype
+
+13 September 2026. **Prototyped**, with **Partial** rules coverage. Public module
+starts and publication remain gated. The lower battle effect and combined
+expansion routes are unfinished.
+
+## Source contract
+
+The physical Smuggler card supplies one optional free accompanying force when
+shipping from off planet into an empty territory. The selected total includes
+that force: ship three actual counters, price two. At least one paid companion
+is needed. Empty strongholds qualify; existing forces anywhere in the territory,
+including friendly forces, advisors and No-Field presence, prevent the benefit.
+Spice alone does not occupy a territory. Determine emptiness before arrival.
+See the [publisher CHOAM & Richese rulebook](https://www.gf9games.com/dune/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/CHOAM-Rulebook-low-res.pdf),
+pages 8–9 and 12, and the [designer walkthrough](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT_azRVLq_0&t=724s),
+12:04–12:19.
+
+Apply ordinary Guild/ally rounding after removing the free counter from the
+priced count. Classic Fremen reserves are on planet, so their ordinary Great
+Flat reinforcements retain their existing rule. See the
+[base rulebook](https://www.gf9games.com/dunegame/wp-content/uploads/Dune-Rulebook.pdf),
+pages 9–11 and 13, and [November 2020 FAQ](https://www.gf9games.com/dune/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Dune-FAQ-Nov-2020.pdf), page 5.
+
+The CHOAM & Richese FAQ explicitly permits a Richese No-Field with a separate
+free Smuggler force into empty territory. That valid combination still needs
+concealed-counter integration here; its current guard is an implementation gap.
+No new material user ruling was required for the ordinary reserve route.
+
+## Connected behavior
+
+A shared public-custody quote powers the engine, UI, bots and shipment-promise
+completion search. Only a living native trainer grants the normal effect;
+captured and foreign-ghola leaders do not. The selected amount remains the
+actual reserve withdrawal and board arrival, including ordinary/elite identity.
+The existing payment pipeline receives the actual discounted cost.
+
+The checkbox starts selected when an eligible shipment is chosen. Declining
+preserves the full payment, which can matter to recipients and other payment
+powers. API omission and explicit false also retain ordinary pricing. All four
+AI profiles have a legal path that explicitly chooses the bonus, including a
+two-force shipment when only one force can be afforded at the ordinary rate.
+This policy is not full skill strategy or difficulty calibration.
+
+Advanced Guild interception stores the trainer, physical total and original
+price before payment or departure. Views, automatic normalization and actions
+validate the pending declaration against its unique current or saved Guild
+decision. Missing/mismatched decisions, stale leaders, changed occupancy and
+prices no longer explained by the saved discount record reject before mutation. Actual legacy unstamped
+shipments retain their full price and may omit the older optional turn field.
+
+## Verification and remaining scope
+
+Focused tests cover total-versus-priced counts, desert costs, Guild rounding,
+Fremen reinforcement, advisors, hidden/captured custody, opt-out, all four bots,
+JSON recovery, malformed saved decisions, elite conservation, private SQLite
+views, concurrent allowance, nested decision restoration, cancellation and stale replay. Independent review identified the
+saved-decision binding gap, which was fixed before the checkpoint checks.
+
+A fresh genuine two-seat setup assigned Smuggler to Hasimir Fenring in an
+isolated browser room. A documented fixture advanced only that room to a clean
+shipment boundary with two human spice. The browser checked ordinary cost three
+and its disabled action, then enabled Smuggler and shipped three actual forces
+for two spice. Refresh restored seventeen reserves, three Arrakeen forces,
+zero Tanks, zero spice and the same private hand and traitor. This is a targeted
+scenario, not a complete human game.
+
+Two genuine four-profile Basic/Advanced samples completed with 99/212 actions,
+3/6 JSON restorations and no rejected candidates. Neither sample used Smuggler;
+these samples establish continuation only. Targeted tests and browser play
+exercise the new effect. Required broad check/build/HTTP results and final
+preservation totals are recorded in the checkpoint commit and private report.
+
+Smuggler battle collection still needs its reveal/survival settlement. Combined
+No-Field, Homeworld, Nexus, Discovery, Stronghold and technology routes remain
+outside this prototype. Mentat questioning, Bureaucrat payments, Sandmaster
+movement collection, Spice Banker and Diplomat also remain incomplete. Reuse
+this ordinary route when integrating those dependencies.
