Document original Ix Spice card policies and readable effects

Retain the current first-turn worm precedence, later Thumper/Sandtrout equivalence and sequential physical Harvester doubling under explicit provisional preview interpretations. Record photographed component and publisher-source provenance, authorized Advanced corroboration, and unresolved wider timing boundaries. No new numerical rule or publisher clarification is claimed.

Warn persistently before first-turn Thumper disposal and explain waiting Sandtrout replacements. Public chronicle entries explain ignored first-turn Thumper and Sandtrout encounters. Correct stale preview gates in the relevant reference topics.

Genuine public Basic/Advanced selected-Ix programmes use original setup, unopened deal and Spice lotteries, real intervening turns and actual held physical cards. Separate assertions prove phase continuation, Nexus/doubling behavior, ready reset and retained physical stock; four existing minimal profiles legally accept a harvested window. Focused tests, types/lint/build and actual GameTable rendering are recorded in docs/IX_PROTOTYPE.md.

This remains bounded prototype evidence, not full native factions, optional combinations, browser/deployed or final assurance. No strategic AI refinement, state version, saved-room/database/reset/restart/deployment operation.
