Fresh Richese-roster battles support clean aggressor changes after plans and revelation. Both combatants explicitly finish a public final opportunity regardless of held cards or result; an actual Sapho use clears both marks with a fresh event. Close priority before physical Stone allocation and other outcome settlement. Preserve plans, votes, participants, Habbanya priority and reserved physical cards. Keep old unstamped timing and discard signature bytes. Route all final vote exits through native Homeworld defense first. Add persistent controls and finite minimal bot readiness.
Validation:16-file177/177, types/lint/build and eight original-action/rendered-table programmes. Actual cache1 and paid forces use40 Basic/47 Advanced source actions; genuine Stone1 turn1/Sapho1 turn2 uses86. Ordinary and mixed count2 ties change through sealed-plan/final-window Sapho, explicit revised acknowledgements and native losses. Sixteen minimal proposals are legal; controlled reservation and pure window/control cases are separate. Bounded review fixed the Harkonnen Nexus final-vote route; frozen feedback corrected four historical fixture assumptions. All checks then passed together.
Final-window protocol is provisional. Direct late Semuta claim/capture, combined World/Nexus/Sapho, wider combinations, full modes, final assurance and browser/deployed acceptance remain open. No saved-room/database/reset/restart/deployment operation.
During the existing public pre-plan opportunity, the holder can discard canonical unreserved Sapho to become aggressor before their readiness or any binding plan/Voice/inspection/Truthtrance commitment. Unchosen preparation prompts remain available. No new confirmation-only or holder-dependent response window is introduced. Later intervention and its allocation/privacy protocol remain unfinished.
A battle/turn/revision-bound history and independent event list preserve accepted priority while keeping attacker, defender and chooser stable. Legitimately recovered cards can change priority again at a fresh event. Reads, actions and normalization reject corrupt histories/custody. Shared tie priority respects Habbanya in either physical slot and reaches pre-commit Stone/Voice checks, public views, bot calculations and actual ordinary/Stone resolution. The final quote previously assumed original attacker priority and now consumes the validated aggressor. Harkonnen capture still follows actual winner/loser.
Owner controls, public aggressor/tie text, automatic notices and internal guidance are connected. Focused tests exercise actual tied results in Basic/Advanced, both Habbanya sides, mixed-force Stone finishability before opposing commitments, a real allied Prescience boundary, stale/late/cross-owner rejection, private rival noninterference, receipt corruption, saved recovered-card revision, actual policies at all four AI levels and authenticated SQLite races/seat restoration. Independent review found no material defect. A prior scheduling test now explicitly readies its human holder to save the card instead of allowing the new legal AI play.
Types, lint and 4866 offline tests, production build and 43 HTTP/session tests pass on the unchanged source fingerprint below. Two genuine CHOAM/Richese samples completed with 1279 accepted actions, 34 periodic JSON restores and no rejected candidates. One movement Sapho play occurred; neither sample used aggressor. Targeted tests and browser evidence, not those samples, establish the new effect. Full expansion and module acceptance remain incomplete.
In a new isolated browser room, genuine Advanced faction setup was followed by conserved battle staging. The human Guild used the actual aggressor button, restored the spent card and priority after refresh, readied, selected Master Bewt with zero dial/support, and declined a Traitor call. The staged Emperor opponent used real engine ready/plan/vote actions with Caid and zero dial/support. Guild won the 3-3 tie, retained four forces and 30 spice, and Emperor lost four forces. Final refresh and private JSON views restored the same outcome; the original seat row is unchanged. Screenshot capture timed out, so visual screenshot acceptance is not claimed.
All 1072 original games and original seat/recovery/entry/handover records are unchanged; 1106 rooms remain including isolated QA and HTTP fixtures. SQLite quick-check and foreign keys pass. The healthy server was reused without reset/restart or automation.
The Mirror audit now records why every genuine CHOAM/Richese setup includes unresolved copy candidates: an ordinary-copy-only gate would need hidden eligibility or altered inventory. Mirror stays gated pending the existing disposal ruling and copied-choice work. No mode/publication gate is opened.
