+# Emperor alliance gift timing
+
+## Advanced Guild timing prototype — 29 October 2026
+
+The user-authorized revised rules, physical p. 31 (printed p. 29), allow the
+Emperor to transfer spice to an ally at any time and for any reason. In a
+clean classic-faction Advanced game, an Emperor can now make that gift while
+the Guild's normal Shipment and Movement timing choice is pending. The choice
+remains in place while the gift's ordinary Karama response resolves. Allowing
+the gift transfers the selected uncommitted spice once; cancellation transfers
+none. Either outcome leaves the same Guild decision and movement order.
+
+The owner-only control uses the server's current amount and ally quote. The
+initial scope excludes optional modules, competing continuation windows and
+live commitments requiring a combined planner. The pre-existing quiet-window
+gift remains unchanged. Other decision and response parents and the source's
+complete any-time scope remain unfinished; this prototype does not certify
+Advanced play or deployed behavior.
+
+[Runtime cases](../tests/emperor-guild-timing-gift.test.ts) start a real
+Advanced game and stage the alliance and movement boundary; [rendered controls](../tests/emperor-timing-gift-controls.test.tsx)
+cover the actual table and owner-only control.
