The independent Ecaz Treachery variant now supports Harass in either physical battle-card slot. A category-null Prescience answer keeps its identity private without erasing the selected card. Exact undialed normal/elite counters return before battle losses; opposing successful Traitors cancel withdrawal, ordinary leader deaths still resolve, and the card is discarded exactly once. Controls, all four AI profiles and saved continuation share the same physical quote. Existing Planetologist inspection and literal Truthtrance slot promises retain their meanings.
Unique Basic/Advanced physical allocations are supported. Ambiguous allocations, co-present Ecaz allied armies on either side, Richese card-family configurations and other optional modules remain gated before sealing from public/own context. The pending Stone Burner timing question is not assumed answered. Reveal-before-explosion order and mandatory disposal on an own-Traitor win are explicit source-timing/specificity inferences, consistent with existing Planetologist precedence. Reinforcements and full variant/public mode acceptance remain unfinished.
Independent rules/privacy/persistence review fixed asymmetric selector legality, misleading blocked-card guidance, invalid restored battle pairs, native-only inspection bypass and unsupported allied-army admission. Ixian fixtures preserve all seven physical cyborgs. The first broad run caught a semantic-status lint error in the blocked guidance; replacing the paragraph role with an output element fixed it. A subsequent broad run passed 4,775 of 4,776 tests and exposed an old UI assertion requiring category-null slots to be disabled. The updated regression verifies enabled category-null selectors exclude ordinary held cards, while exact leader/dial locks and submitted values remain bound; focused controls pass 14/14. No game source changed after the eight samples or browser replay. Types, lint, 4776 offline tests, build and 43 HTTP tests pass with unchanged source. Authenticated SQLite cases verify sealed private restoration and competing duplicate traitor actions with one physical resolution.
Eight fixed genuine six-seat games finish: basic/Easy: 1803 actions, 0 Harass plans, 0 withdrawals, 48 periodic restores; basic/Medium: 225 actions, 0 Harass plans, 0 withdrawals, 6 periodic restores; basic/Hard: 2184 actions, 1 Harass plans, 1 withdrawals, 59 periodic restores; basic/Brutal: 2073 actions, 1 Harass plans, 1 withdrawals, 56 periodic restores; advanced/Easy: 2057 actions, 1 Harass plans, 1 withdrawals, 55 periodic restores; advanced/Medium: 532 actions, 0 Harass plans, 0 withdrawals, 14 periodic restores; advanced/Hard: 538 actions, 0 Harass plans, 0 withdrawals, 14 periodic restores; advanced/Brutal: 544 actions, 0 Harass plans, 0 withdrawals, 14 periodic restores. All 218 game-source files match their source-stable runs; exact card/traitor/force custody and periodic/terminal private views are checked. Browser controls verify the full card, category None, Defense-first legality, actual sealing/reveal, four returned forces, ordinary leader death, disposal and refresh. A separate final-source replay verifies the conserved browser fixture and opposing continuation, including Face Dancer replacement. This is bounded playability evidence, not full compliance or AI calibration.
All 936 opening games and their original seat/recovery records remain unchanged (970 after checks); all 937 present immediately before checks are also preserved. Database integrity and foreign keys pass. The healthy server was reused after the power failure without restart, reset or recurring automation.

The explicit development initializer now includes the complete three-card Ecaz Treachery variant before genuine Basic/Advanced faction setup. Recruits has owned play/discard controls, full inspection, a public current-rate table, shared authoritative revival quotes, all four AI profiles and persistent exact free-use ledgers. Existing CHOAM/Tleilaxu choices settle before returning forces. Inactive games retain their prior allowance arithmetic.
Clean activation before normal returns or after exactly recorded free returns is connected. Prior-paid/unknown use, later Fremen grants, pending repricing, same-turn recovered-card replay and additional optional modules stay gated. Native unlimited faction advantages remain unlimited. The independent seven-force cap after faction cancellation is explicitly documented as an inference from independent effects, not a direct combined FAQ. Reinforcements and Harass & Withdraw remain unfinished; public starts and publication stay gated.
Independent rules/privacy/persistence review passed. Review fixed auction alias double-counting after a physical card sale, malformed canonical cards, legacy zero-ledger activation, a seat-control validation bypass and an ordinary-start bypass. Focused tests cover readiness and turn expiry as well as authenticated restart, exact free/paid accounting, stale/duplicate requests, competing writes and malformed-save rejection. Types, lint, 4743 offline tests, build and 43 HTTP tests passed with unchanged source.
Eight fixed-seed genuine six-seat samples finish: basic/Easy: 1961 accepted, 0 Recruits plays, 53 JSON restores; basic/Medium: 711 accepted, 0 Recruits plays, 19 JSON restores; basic/Hard: 239 accepted, 0 Recruits plays, 6 JSON restores; basic/Brutal: 1367 accepted, 1 Recruits plays, 36 JSON restores; advanced/Easy: 1402 accepted, 0 Recruits plays, 37 JSON restores; advanced/Medium: 530 accepted, 0 Recruits plays, 14 JSON restores; advanced/Hard: 545 accepted, 1 Recruits plays, 14 JSON restores; advanced/Brutal: 1240 accepted, 1 Recruits plays, 33 JSON restores. Reports retain rejected candidates and earlier harness attempts. All 216 game-source hashes remain identical to the samples; a later presentation-test expectation update changes no game code. Actual card use, custody and periodic/terminal private views are checked; this is bounded playability evidence, not full variant acceptance or AI calibration. A separate conserved browser Revival fixture verifies the full inspector, physical play, public rates, four free returns and active/resolved refresh.
All 902 opening games and original seat/recovery records remain unchanged (936 after checks). All 903 present immediately before broad checks are also preserved. Database integrity and foreign keys pass. The healthy server recovered after the power failure and was reused without restart, reset or recurring automation.

Add a local faction-only prototype profile for all seven nonempty expansion selections, genuine Basic/Advanced initialization and existing private setup, controls, AI and saved continuation. Ecaz allocates six forces across Imperial Basin sectors and retains fourteen reserves before later setup; preserve Fremen, Advanced BG and Moritani ordering with printed and inferred boundaries explicit. Keep optional Ecaz Treachery cards separate, ordinary deck counts 33/35/47, and Richese cache separate. Public start and publication gates remain closed.
Replace the Advanced Ixian/Richese pre-offer stop with an explicit per-lot Ixian decline. Bind the saved original offer to its round, turn, owner, independent event, exact card custody and terms before view/action/normalization. Decline resumes that unchanged lot once without using Technology; later normal lots still offer the exchange. Protect reserved cards across transfers, spending and random Harkonnen exchange, and preserve legitimate Gift/Truthtrance interruptions. The actual special-lot exchange still awaits replacement-custody interpretation.
Validation: focused setup, rules, UI/bot, private JSON/SQLite reload and concurrent CAS tests and independent custody/persistence review passed. Typecheck, lint, 4573 offline tests, production build and 43 HTTP tests passed. Browser Ecaz setup rejected an incomplete total, saved a 2/2/2 split, and refreshed to fourteen reserves and unchanged private cards. A separate genuine Advanced QA game restored the Ixian choice; explicit decline opened the unchanged cache lot with legal bidding and retained private hand, spice, pool count and unused Technology after refresh.
Five of six genuine four-profile samples finish: CHOAM Basic 1054 actions/28 JSON restores, CHOAM Advanced 225/6, Ecaz Basic 91/2, Ecaz Advanced 523/14, all-three Basic 476/12. Combined Advanced passes three former auction stops and reaches turn three/action614 with 16 restores, then hits an existing CHOAM movement/Ambassador arrival guard. Ecaz samples also include guarded arrival candidates with legal alternatives. Full combined play is not certified; arrival integration is the next gap. Retain initial failed logs, including a corrected private harness sold-card receipt alias.
After the outage, all 597 opening rooms and original seat/recovery records were preserved (632 after QA/HTTP). A stale development module cache required restart after a fresh 598-room backup; all 598 matched afterward and the QA seat restored. Final integrity and foreign keys passed. No database reset, recurring automation or publication.
