+## Permanent Traitor markers — 15 October 2026
+
+The shared snapshot's optional `removed` zone accounts for Moritani victim
+cards permanently out of circulation, retaining the canonical census and
+existing Loyalty exclusion. It is **not** Cunning's temporary set-aside group:
+those revealed Face Dancers still return after the replacement draw.
+Cunning draws only active reserve cards, preserves the permanent zone and
+binds its own original source in history. Later markers do not rewrite an
+older completed receipt; absent-zone signatures keep their old grammar.
+Focused Face Dancer/engine regressions and the coupled native exchange
+checkpoint pass, not a new full native Moritani/Face-Dancer combination audit.

 ## Cunning: complete physical operation
 
 Native Tleilaxu sets aside every revealed Face Dancer, privately draws the same number of replacements, and only then shuffles the set-aside identities into the Traitor Deck. Unrevealed dancers remain held. The panel has no phase restriction, no subset choice and no second choice after drawing.
