Connect Basic Tleilaxu to the full Leader Skills prototype

Admit genuine Basic Tleilaxu/base setup with the full fourteen-skill deck,
Ix card inventories and native three Face Dancers. Share public profile guards
across existing skill effects while retaining public-start and Advanced gates.

Record native own-leader skill offers at successful revival commitment so
automatic Tleilaxu response chains preserve the optional private draw. Connect
Rihani to unrevealed Face Dancer exchange with exact physical/status custody,
private controls and existing legal AI choices. Release completed Rihani's
live snapshot only after validated Face Dance admission; keep signed history
and current census checks. Zoal Smuggler uses opposing printed disc value at
reveal, excluding opposing skill bonuses and his separate revival value.

Add genuine setup, response/cancellation, private choice, custody, Face Dance
reset, Zoal, legal AI and authenticated concurrent recovery regressions. Add a
reproducible two-through-six-player sample profile and saved continuation.
Preserve unresolved skill effects, foreign-ghola boundaries and delayed AI tuning.

+# Basic Tleilaxu with Leader Skills
+
+Connected development prototype, 21 September 2026. Basic Tleilaxu with base
+opponents now uses all fourteen physical skills through genuine setup. Public
+starts, complete-mode acceptance and publication remain gated. Existing missing
+skill effects are still explicit; this is not complete expansion certification.
+
+## Configuration and physical setup
+
+The existing `leader-skills` local initializer accepts Basic rules, exactly the
+Ixians & Tleilaxu expansion, Tleilaxu plus base factions, two through six seats,
+and no other optional modules. It keeps the real Ix Treachery/Spice decks and
+the Cheap Hero Traitor identity. Starting Treachery precedes simultaneous
+private two-card skill offers; public assignments and ordinary Traitor choices
+precede the native three Face Dancers. No hidden card controls profile admission.
+Ixians, Advanced Tleilaxu and combined modules require further integration.
+
+## Connected interactions
+
+Native own-leader revival now records its optional skill offer when the revival
+actually commits. Automatic early-permission/discount responses cannot skip the
+offer; income responses finish before the player's choice. The undrawn offer
+reveals neither card, can be declined, and binds a drawn choice to that revived
+leader. Canceled or unaffordable revivals create no offer. Existing observation
+of Ghola and other native revivals remains idempotent. Captured replacement
+entitlement stays guarded. Foreign gholas remain Advanced-only and excluded
+from this profile; the FAQ says acquiring one does not draw a new skill.
+
+Rihani uses the [recorded FAQ](LEADER_SKILLS_RULES.md):
+Tleilaxu's drawn cards become unrevealed Face Dancers, and only an unrevealed old
+Face Dancer can be exchanged. The normal private peek returns cards first; the
+optional draw then requires keeping one new card, publicly revealing/returning
+one eligible old card, and privately returning the other new one. Retained
+reveal statuses and all physical identities survive saved choices. Opponents
+receive neither inspection history nor the drawn/kept identities. Human
+controls identify Face Dancers and reuse the enlarged component inspector;
+existing AI chooses only from its private eligible lists.
+
+Skills and winner card cleanup finish before native Face Dance. A completed
+Rihani receipt remains bound to live custody during that cleanup. At validated
+Face Dance admission a signed saved boundary retires that historical snapshot
+as a live constraint, allowing the later reveal or three-card refresh. The
+original receipt and the current physical census remain validated. Face Dance
+kills a living winning leader without a bounty and returns its skill once.
+Older receipts without the new boundary retain their original signature shape.
+
+Shared profile checks extend the existing ordinary movement, shipment, payment
+and battle effects. Zoal's unmodified Smuggler collection uses the opposing
+disc's printed value from the two revealed plans, including zero against Cheap
+Hero; it does not use Zoal's revival value or copy the opponent's skill bonus.
+This follows the existing [Zoal and skill contract](LEADER_SKILLS_RULES.md) and
+[Smuggler boundary](SMUGGLER_BATTLE.md), without settling modified-strength cases.
+
+## Entry and checks
+
+Create a fresh Basic lobby with Ixians & Tleilaxu selected, Tleilaxu and base
+opponents, and ready every human. Keep its room cookie, then use the backed-up,
+version-checked local entry described in [prototype setup](IX_PROTOTYPE.md):
+
+```sh
+node --import tsx tools/start-prototype.ts --profile leader-skills \
+  --db PATH_TO_LOCAL_D1_SQLITE --room EIGHT_CHARACTER_CODE \
+  --version CURRENT_LOBBY_VERSION --out /private/new-tleilaxu-skills
+node --import tsx tools/faction-games.ts --profile tleilaxu-skills \
+  --out /private/new-tleilaxu-skills-samples
+npm test -- tleilaxu-skills rihani-face-dancers
+```
+
+The sample profile runs two through six players with Emperor, Guild, Harkonnen,
+Fremen and Bene Gesserit added in order; focused tests also include Atreides.
+It counts all Treachery, skill, Traitor/Face Dancer and force custody, checks
+rejected-action immutability and JSON/private-view restoration. Saved sample
+continuation preserves the full module; Advanced selection fails before running.
+These are legal-play checks, not difficulty calibration. The tests use genuine
+setup followed by explicitly conserved focused positions, not invented full
+phase histories. Authenticated in-memory SQLite checks cover concurrent setup
+choices, restarted private views, three Face Dancers and unchanged seat records.
+Private source-bound reports record final checks, game samples and browser work.
+
+## Remaining work
+
+Normal Banker income, ordinary Mentat questioning, Diplomat retreat, modified
+Smuggler collection, captured replacement entitlement and other recorded skill
+questions remain incomplete. See the [runtime boundaries](LEADER_SKILLS_RUNTIME.md)
+and [rule decisions](RULE_DECISIONS.md). Full AI implementation and tuning wait
+until all non-AI game features are complete.
