User ruling 13 October 2026: the original faction keeps its existing Skill
assignment while its trained leader is captured. Reviving a different eligible
own leader is legal and simply draws no replacement card while that assignment
exists (selected reading of authorized supplied Advanced physical p21 "if you
have no Leader Skill Card"). Not a new publisher ruling; captor lower-band use,
card movement and death-return unchanged.
Remove the replacement-question veto that suppressed the entire ordinary/Ghola
revival: leaderSkillRevivalBlocked/requireLeaderSkillRevival, the gholaLeaders
early return, the view revival.leaders: [] filter and the beginRevival/Ghola/
Emperor-special-Karama call sites are gone. offerRevivedLeaderSkill is
unchanged and still suppresses a second assignment or draw.
Rewrote the two committed rejection assertions
(tests/advanced-native-skills.test.ts, tests/leader-skills-capture.test.ts) and
added native regressions covering ordinary paid, held-Ghola and Emperor special
Karama revival from a genuinely captured skilled state: exact cost, no draw or
offer, retained captive/card/controller and a conserved all14 deck.

Connect all fourteen physical skills and private setup to five card-role battle
modifiers, public posture, Harkonnen skilled capture, death return and optional
own-leader revival through controls, legal AI and persisted room actions.
Nine skill effects and combined-mode/publication acceptance remain unfinished.
Captured replacement entitlement and foreign ghola integration stay guarded.
Fresh publisher/designer research supports skilled-capture publicity through
its unique known physical card; this is recorded as a component inference.
Independent review found and fixed Voice/must-use-leader and invalid saved
assignment/offer cases. A pre-existing Discovery privacy assertion confused
card ID prefixes; the corrected deterministic physical-pair scenario was
independently reviewed. The first broad run was 4410/4411; corrected final
verification passes types/lint, all 4411 offline tests, build and 43 HTTP tests.
Final durations: check 149741ms, build 6659ms, integration 28274ms.

Private final report: 20260913-leader-skills/checks-final/report.json.
Three seeded prototype games completed with no rejected bot candidates. Browser
setup/card inspection/refresh passed. Another user-reported power outage stopped
the server; backup and necessary restart restored the same private seat. All
292 games at restart and their original application records remain unchanged;
33 isolated HTTP-test rooms bring the current total to 325. No database reset.
Efficiency: one shared setup/lifecycle implementation supports five connected
role effects; selective existing agents handled catalog/UI/tests/research and
independent reviews. One repeated broad check was required by the reproduced
ID-prefix assertion failure. Aggregate goal counter rose from 65529766 to
67313673 through this checkpoint (1783907), including inherited context and
coordination; this is not a billing or savings estimate. Full goal remains active.
