+## Rihani and permanent Traitor markers — 15 October 2026
+
+The shared canonical Traitor snapshot now includes an optional permanent
+`removed` zone derived from Moritani's retired victims. Rihani preserves that
+zone in its full before/state receipt and cannot peek, draw, return or rewrite
+one of those cards. Existing used-card exclusions, native Tleilaxu Face Dancer
+classification and both original skill bands remain. Old absent-zone JSON
+receipts keep their existing body/signature. Focused physical-transition
+coverage verifies this consumer; the coupled native Nexus proof is not a
+claim of a new full native Rihani/Moritani or saved-game assurance campaign.
