Subject: [PATCH] Add administrative room close and reopen controls

Preserve readable private tables, discussion and pending games while closure blocks new play, joins, messages, AI and seat mutations. Add live-authorized atomic closure audits, room-version/revision fences, dedicated controls and exact saved retries. Reopen with the saved pause/join settings and current credentials; restoring a removed but closed room keeps its AI stopped.

Verified types, lint, 5356 offline tests, 52 HTTP tests and build. Seventeen dedicated authenticated HTTP groups and independent privacy/persistence review passed. Desktop/mobile browser QA confirmed one close after a lost response and refresh, persistent readable notices, retained private draft, mobile reopening and saved-seat refresh. All 2,001 baseline rooms, 4,243 seats and related records preserved. Positive production admin acceptance awaits authorized QA access; full admin and rules gates remain open.

+# Administrative close and reopen
+
+Owners and operators can choose **Close or reopen** beside a room in
+Administration. Closing requires a reason, the exact room code and confirmation
+that active players have been warned. Reopening requires a reason and review of
+the retained pause setting. Viewer accounts can inspect availability only.
+Notices stay visible; the operation does not depend on a short timer.
+
+Closing ends further play administratively. It preserves the exact game state,
+pending decisions, official outcome and all seats. It does not invent a winner
+or replace the engine's game status. Existing authenticated players can still
+read their own table and discussion history. New joins, game decisions, AI,
+automatic continuation, messages and seat security changes stop. The closed
+notice is separate from the saved pause and joining settings, including for
+rooms that have never been paused.
+
+Reopening retains those pause/join settings and existing access revocations.
+An unpaused started game with AI resumes with a fresh 1.5-second pacing deadline;
+a paused room remains paused. No credential is restored, rotated or extended.
+Existing physical pieces, cards and sealed commitments remain in the saved game.
+
+## Retries and concurrency
+
+The tab saves the exact account/room operation before sending it. An uncertain
+response offers **Retry saved request**, including after refresh and reopening
+the controls. Its receipt confirms the original operation and reports current
+availability; replaying an old close after a later reopen cannot close it again.
+An unreadable local record requires deliberate local discard after inspecting
+the room. Discarding a retry cannot undo a server change.
+
+The server checks current owner/operator authority and both the room version and
+closure revision. The audit receipt, version fence and closure metadata commit
+atomically. Concurrent identical requests create one record. A stale or competing
+new request cannot change the room. Failed actions preserve their game, credential
+and receipt records. Privacy-safe audit metadata contains operational flags and
+timestamps, with no private hands, messages or keys.
+
+Already-completed entry, message, recovery, handover and AI-permission requests
+may still confirm their exact receipts while closed, provided their credentials
+remain valid. They cannot repeat a mutation, extend permission expiry or revive
+revoked access. Keep unconfirmed requests and private kits. A new key/transfer
+cannot be enabled until reopening. Local drafts and readable inspectors remain
+available while the table's mutation controls are disabled.
+
+## Other administrator controls
+
+Closed rooms remain in the default directory and can be filtered with
+**Availability → Closed**. **Running** excludes closed rooms. New pause/join and
+lobby configuration changes require reopening; prior exact receipts still work.
+
+[Recoverable removal](ADMIN_ROOM_REMOVAL.md) can also hide a closed room.
+Restoring it retains its closure and does not wake its AI. A removed room must be
+restored before a new close/reopen transition. Old closure receipts remain
+available to authorized administrators while it is removed.
+
+Apply additive migration `0013_admin_room_closure.sql` before this revision.
+`room_closures` stores current availability independently of pause and removal;
+`admin_room_closures` stores durable audit receipts. No existing game or credential
+rows are migrated or deleted. Archive, permanent deletion, bulk actions,
+participant support and backup/restore tools remain unfinished.
+
+## Verification
+
+Focused database/runtime tests exercise live roles and revocation, rollback,
+concurrent/stale writes, all player mutation commit fences, AI before/after sleep,
+automatic normalization, private views, exact receipts, database reopen and
+removed-plus-closed restoration. Route tests check that closed reads and exact
+AI-permission receipts do not schedule workers. Recovery rendering is checked
+without browser globals.
+
+The reusable administrator HTTP verifier creates its own QA room, checks closure
+access and disabled operations, and reopens it with its complete saved table,
+discussion and current seats intact. Browser checks cover lost successful
+responses, refresh/retry, persistent notices, retained local drafts and mobile
+controls. Source-bound checkpoint checks and saved-record comparisons are
+recorded outside the checkout. Deployed acceptance must match the pushed revision;
+local checks alone do not establish production behavior. See
+[verification workflow](VERIFICATION_WORKFLOW.md).

 # Dune implementation status
 
+## 22 September 2026 — Administrative close/reopen prototype
+
+[Close or reopen](ADMIN_ROOM_CLOSURE.md) now separates administrative availability
+from the saved game's rules status and winner. It retains readable private tables
+and discussion, blocks new player/AI/seat/message mutations, and preserves exact
+prior receipts. Atomic audit/version/revision fences and independent closure
+metadata compose with pause, lobby configuration and recoverable removal.
+Reopening preserves credentials and pending choices, with existing AI pacing.
+
+Independent review corrected recovery-claim scope, unnecessary closed-room worker
+scheduling and typed closure errors after write races. Focused runtime checks,
+dedicated HTTP acceptance and lost-response/mobile browser QA accompany the
+checkpoint. Source-bound broad checks and preservation evidence remain private;
+production acceptance must match the deployed checkpoint. Archive, permanent
+removal, bulk operations and the rest of the full administration panel remain
+unfinished; this does not certify complete rules or open publication gates.
