+all12 Nexus, native setup, first-Storm Tech and actual end-Mentat Stronghold
+claims remain. No Skills, mixed families, E3, Homeworlds, independent cards,
+unrelated previews, public starts or played-game conversion are admitted.
+
+This composes the same independent printed variants cited below, not a new
+Nexus ruling. Original Ixian Cunning grants full unsupported Suboid strength
+through the actual turn, while Cyborg support/casualties remain typed.
+Arrakeen funds actual support only, including a legal HMS copy; it grants
+no wallet income. Original equal Suboid sacrifice recovers lost Cyborgs.
+Actual original winner Tech/cards/spice precede native Face Dance. Replacement
+changes physical occupation, not prior rewards or held Stronghold ownership;
+the next real end-Mentat claim follows the new controller. Tleilaxu Cunning
+draws replacements before retiring revealed originals and preserves unrevealed
+stock and the separate ordinary Mentat replacement allowance.
+
+Richese Cunning retains its existing two-physical-token/nonrepeat convention:
+one reserve-capped immediate group, one concealed marker, one original tariff.
+An allowed off-planet pair activates Heighliners once; stopped declarations
+create no invoice, placement or activity. Industry is unavailable until the
+original phase end. Voluntary revelation does not manufacture counters or
+reset previous-marker history. Advanced held Habbanya can decide an ordinary
+tied battle after revelation; this does not open mixed No-Field dialing.
+CHOAM Cunning consumes one original Treachery fuel card through its existing
+Worthless effect/response, without creating another physical card.

+The first loses three Cyborgs then sacrifices three Suboids to recover them.
+The second reveals the original Dominic Face Dancer, returns two remaining
+winner counters, places two Tleilaxu reserves inside HMS, kills Dominic and
+leaves original winner Heighliners/Production at Ix. Tleilaxu Cunning then
+replaces only that revealed physical card with the actual next Traitor;

 An owner-only control distinguishes ordinary No-Field, Smuggler and Nexus pair choices. All four bot profiles have a minimal legal pair candidate. The pending frame binds both physical identities, owner, token event, destination and one-marker price through JSON and in-memory SQLite CAS recovery. Public logs disclose the immediate faceup value/actual force count after settlement; the rival projection contains no concealed token identity or owner-only offer. Signatures detect partial saved-frame corruption, not arbitrary save forgery.

 ## Existing integration points and verification
 
 `game/shipment-price.ts` already separates ordinary reserve prices, Guild cross-shipment prices and contributor-filtered Guild income. The ordinary engine chain is `validatePhysicalShipment` → `offerShipment` → `commitShipment`; its checks use native reserve withdrawal, typed counters, arrival stance, actual geography and shipment promises. Introduce a validated charged-count basis without replacing the physical amount. Keep current low-Junction income and occupied-payment routing after the reduced gross is computed.
