Add public faction-sheet inspectors and a twelve-faction gallery

Add an enlarged public sheet beneath each player, available while actions are
pending. Only faction identity and table rules mode enter the reader; it sends
no action and receives no private player data. Basic/Advanced preview explicitly
leaves the table mode unchanged. Native mode control, keyboard scrolling,
Escape/focus restoration and internal links use existing dialog components.
The internal gallery covers all twelve factions with bundled Homeworld artwork.

Share every faction's Basic and Advanced paragraphs with the main reference.
Replace Richese's generic placeholder, centralize Ecaz/Moritani guidance from
settled contracts, correct CHOAM Auditor/Baliset/Jubba availability and align the
Fremen/Ecaz Sietch Tabr exception. Full printed text, unresolved powers and
combined-rule acceptance remain explicit. No new rule, AI strategy or gate.

Four focused tests cover all12 identities, shared paragraphs, artwork files,
internal links, mode separation, gallery defaults and per-viewer busy controls.
The first busy-control assertion falsely matched CSS disabled variants; it now
checks actual disabled attributes. All16 related focused cases pass. Independent
review caught missing Moritani optionality and stale Fremen exception text;
those were fixed and final review found no material issue. Auditor limits and
full actual-card cancellation cost were checked against the existing contract.
Types, lint, all 5000 offline tests and production build pass on stable source.
No API/auth/persistence changes; HTTP tests were not repeated.

Browser QA reused the existing two-player Basic auction without game actions.
Both own and opposing inspectors work; Enter opens, Escape closes and returns
focus, reopening resets Basic, and Advanced preview explicitly preserves the
Basic table. ArrowDown scrolls the focused long sheet. At390px, dialog359x828,
scroll client/width342 without horizontal overflow,16px text and44px controls.
Gallery334px fits without overflow; Richese, Ecaz and Moritani selection and
Advanced paragraphs render, faction change resets Basic and bundled art loads.
Internal help and Advanced Moritani links expand their topics. Back and refresh
preserve four hand cards and the pending minimum bid2; normal viewport restored.
Screenshot capture timed out; full visual/screen-reader acceptance remains open.

All 1539 opening games, 3259 saved seats and auxiliary rows
remain identical, including the QA room. SQLite integrity and foreign keys pass.
No new games, server restart, migration, reset or recurring automation.

+# Public faction sheets
+
+Connected inspection prototype, 21 September 2026. Every player card has
+**Inspect faction**, available during setup, play and pending decisions. The
+internal `faction-sheets` topic also offers a gallery of all twelve factions.
+
+The inspector receives only a public faction ID and Basic/Advanced mode. It
+reads no player state, held cards, leader custody, cache or hidden tokens and
+sends no action. The enlarged sheet uses existing bundled Homeworld artwork,
+crisp text and the same `FACTION_RULES` paragraphs as the internal faction topics.
+There are no new images, endpoints, persistence fields or AI decisions.
+
+The initial display follows the table mode. **Include Advanced powers** changes
+only the local reference display, with an explicit preview notice when it differs
+from the table. Advanced powers follow their underlying Basic powers. Close,
+Escape and reopening return to the normal dialog lifecycle; changing faction or
+table mode resets the reader. Gallery faction changes start with Basic guidance.
+The long sheet has an independently focusable scrolling region, named controls,
+44px control targets and 16px body text. Detailed links remain internal.
+
+## Shared guidance and authority
+
+Richese no longer receives a placeholder faction paragraph; Ecaz and Moritani
+move from embedded topics into the shared typed twelve-faction map. Existing
+contracts supply the new original-language summaries:
+
+- Richese: [auctions](RICHESE_AUCTION_RULES.md),
+  [acquisition](RICHESE_ACQUISITION_RULES.md) and
+  [No-Field](RICHESE_NO_FIELD_RULES.md).
+- Ecaz: [Ambassadors](ECAZ_AMBASSADORS_RULES.md),
+  [alliance](ECAZ_ALLIANCE_RULES.md), [Collection](ECAZ_COLLECTION_RULES.md)
+  and [victory](ECAZ_VICTORY_RULES.md).
+- Moritani: [Terror](MORITANI_TERROR_RULES.md) and
+  [Advanced assassination](MORITANI_ASSASSINATE_LEADERS.md).
+- CHOAM: [Auditor](CHOAM_AUDITOR.md) and the existing internal Worthless-card
+  guides supersede stale claims that Auditor setup, Baliset and Jubba Cloak are
+  absent. The Auditor inspects up to two unused cards on survival or one on
+  death; prevention costs one spice per card that would actually be inspected.
+
+The supported Ecaz/Fremen Sietch Tabr exception replaces the old blanket missing
+claim. Unfinished Ecaz Advanced powers, Duke/Occupy interactions, Richese card and
+auction combinations, Moritani effects and normal-traitor forfeiture remain
+explicit. No new source interpretation or mode gate is introduced. These are
+readable faction guides; complete printed-sheet text and combined rule acceptance
+are still open requirements.
+
+## Verification
+
+`npm test -- faction-inspector` covers all twelve identities, shared reference
+text, bundled artwork, valid internal links, Basic/Advanced separation, gallery
+defaults, and public table controls for either viewer while actions are busy.
+Tests do not claim interactive focus, rule correctness for every paragraph or
+full game acceptance. Independent review, browser observations, final check/build,
+saved-game preservation and Git delivery belong to the private source-bound
+checkpoint. Existing gameplay and minimal legal AI participation are unchanged.

 # Dune implementation status
 
+## 21 September 2026 — public faction-sheet inspection
+
+Every table player now has a public faction inspector and the internal guide
+contains a twelve-faction gallery. Basic/Advanced preview uses shared reference
+text without changing the game or reading private state. Richese, Ecaz and
+Moritani receive shared guidance from settled contracts; stale CHOAM and Ecaz
+availability summaries are corrected. [Faction sheets](FACTION_SHEETS.md) records
+scope, source boundaries and remaining text/interaction acceptance. Focused
+checks and independent review accompany private browser, check/build,
+preservation and Git evidence. No AI strategy or release gate changed.
