+Original independent36/Nexus+Tech and all14/phase starts rejected through
+native lobby actions; plain33/all14/phase started without reaction states.
+The public classic core now composes original Tech3+ and Advanced Strongholds2+,
+preserving Basic/Advanced prerequisites, selected33/36 and optional14. Bare
+independent-card consumers share that phase capability. Fee source snapshots
+bind only present modules; no played state, token/card owner or history is
+fabricated. Other native/World/Discovery/Semuta and reaction envelopes stay.
+
+Two disjoint lanes add original-action Tech and held-Stronghold sources plus
+eleven meaningful regressions. Real first-Storm owners and first-Mentat cards
+precede actual death, Revival, funded delivery and battle. Parent removed
+setup/wiring and same-prestate replay pins, kept real error/cost boundaries,
+added a second genuine free return for one-pile behavior and removed an unused
+copied drain snapshot. The Tech worker ran its four-case file twice despite
+the freeze instruction; those repeated lane checks are not owner certification.
+
+Parent frozen43-file **439/439**, focused second-free1/1, repaired native
+Arrakeen2/2, types/lint/build pass. Initial437/439 and the narrow repair exposed
+incorrect fixture expectations for real Guild-ally shipping (five cost3) and
+later Carthag Collection2; the original game calculations are unchanged.
+Four legal policies perform66 owned choices through native income/Revival
+and earned battles, with varying outcomes rather than a calibration claim.
+
+Four actual390px journeys finish original five-option lobby readiness/
+training/Traitors/Storm (stock36/Nexus12, no premature owners), earned Arrakeen
+support3 bank2/personal1 with three reserve fees and separate Collection2,
+trained base33 Carthag Shield survival/native call cancellation/cleanup/private
+Mentat replacement, and fixed paid5/free2 Axlotl pending2→actual phase-end
+purse8→10. Combined original paid5/Bureaucrat2 also retains claimedTurn1 cards
+and Heighliners pending1 until Guild6→7 at native phase5 close. Actual paid2
+Ixian replacement with both earned modules preserves holders/piles/wallet10.
+
+No application/gameplay exception or horizontal overflow. Two isolated cleanup
+DELETEs returned204 but browser diagnostics reported ERR_ABORTED; a network-idle

+
+**Prototyped / Partial.** Fresh classic Nexus core now retains original
+Tech3–6 Basic/Advanced and/or Strongholds2–6 Advanced with base33 or explicitly
+selected independent36, optionally all14 Skills. The shared public predicate
+keeps the printed player-count/rules prerequisites. Other native families,
+Worlds, Discovery/Semuta and reaction envelopes remain separate. No played
+state is reflagged or assigned a token/card holder.
+
+Actual host controls retain all five requested modules through original
+readiness, starting cards, four private skill assignments and native Traitor
+selection into first Storm. Stock36/Nexus12 remain; Tech owners are still
+unassigned and Stronghold claim0 until their original earning boundaries.
+Only original setup lotteries/unopened decks select fixture sources.
+
+Original Guild fee parents conditionally bind the real Tech/Stronghold state;
+bare ordinary parents gain no unconditional new keys. Existing signed card
+shipments, native counters, original currency and physical continuation remain.
+The combined original-action payment reaches payer7/recipient13 after Bank2,
+Heighliners pending1 while Guild stays6, then actual phase5 close pays Guild7.
+Actual first-Mentat holders remain unchanged through that contested arrival.
+Paid2 Ixian replacement likewise preserves both earned module states, exact
+discard/draw, wallet10 and one following lot.
+
+New original-action consumer evidence:
+- Tech: real first-Storm owner/count, funded five-for-one delivery, matching
+  phase-end Heighliners income, fixed Tleilaxu paid5 versus ordinary free
+  returns, a second genuine free request without another pile, pending-spice
+  affordability and native winner transfer after Harass.
+- Earned Arrakeen: temporary5 support3 uses bank2/personal1, while independent
+  Reinforcements pays three actual reserves. Observed board2/Tanks6/reserves12
+  and purse6 before separate Collection2→8; real starred reserves stay unchanged.
+- Earned Carthag: an actual all14 trained disc behind the shield survives
+  poison with its physical Shield after the original call is canceled.
+  Nine forces survive; original winner card choices, losing retention,
+  capture decline, inspection and one private actual Mentat replacement remain.
+  Empty defense still loses the disc/army and held custody changes only at Mentat.
+
+Frozen43-file **439/439**, focused second-free1/1 and repaired Arrakeen2/2,
+types/lint/build pass. Initial437/439 exposed two new fixture assumptions:
+the real Guild ally pays rounded3 for five counters, and later native
+Carthag Collection2 is separate from support1. Assertions now preserve those
+existing rules; no tariff/income calculation changed. Setup/wiring and
+same-snapshot replay pins were removed in favor of actual consumer transitions.
+Tech now has canonical helper/consumer/check evidence in the existing checklist.
+
+Four original-control390px journeys finish normal five-module setup,
+Arrakeen support/fees, trained Carthag defense/Mentat and fixed5+free2 Axlotl.
+The last preserves purse8 while token2 waits, then actual phase4 close pays10.
+Four legal policies execute66 owned choices through original income, Revival
+and battles; outcomes vary and are not strength calibration.
+All gameplay requests/controls complete without application exceptions or
+horizontal overflow. Two isolated DELETE cleanup fetches returned204 but

+`revealNexusCoreStrongholdBattle`, `callNexusCoreCarthagTraitor` and
+`finishNexusCoreStrongholdBattle`. Both scenes stop at an original pre-plan
+boundary after genuine first-end-Mentat claims. Arrakeen is earned by an actual
+turn-one five-reserve shipment; Carthag is retained from actual setup forces.
+Only unopened decks and original deal lotteries select source cards. No
+holders, hands, forces, deaths, clocks or wallets are assigned. Shared native
+controls handle legal participation; the fixture supplies its explicit plans.
+
+The worker's finite original-action programme was exercised locally; its
+source and reported branches are preserved with the parent's actual control
+proof in `/tmp/dune-classic-nexus-phase-18oct.json`. The executable throwaway
+was removed. Observed base33/independent Arrakeen results: five physical counters
+for dial6/support3, bank2/personal1; wallet7→8 includes the separate Collection2,
+with two board survivors. Independent Reinforcements additionally spends three
+real reserves (15→12), producing six total ordinary Tanks counters rather than
+three and never adding supported fighters. Without Cunning, dial5/support5
+costs personal3, consumes all five board counters plus three reserve fees, and
+keeps the now-empty city's card until actual next Mentat sets it aside.
+
+Actual Carthag runs cancel the original Harkonnen call with the genuinely drawn
+Harkonnen Nexus. The physical Shield protects its holder from poison: nine
+forces and the leader survive, and the Shield stays in the original hand.
+All14 uses the actually trained Prana Bindu disc after the original
+behind-shield choice. Omitting that defense kills the disc and all ten forces;
+Atreides controls Carthag immediately, but the old holder keeps the module card
+until Mentat transfers it. Original cancellation replaces one Harkonnen
