Add server-derived physical draw counts above the board after setup begins.
Counts exclude hands, auction pools, faction caches and discards; the client
receives only two numbers, without deck identities or order. Lobby counts are
absent, zero remains explicit and existing refill/custody rules are unchanged.
An internal guide explains pile boundaries, empty/refill behavior, first-turn
worm return and existing authorized inspection. Nexus counts remain separate.
Independent review found no material issue. Six focused cases cover genuine
Basic setup, every viewer, private-field exclusion, JSON/input immutability,
actual auction draws and refill, physical custody, Spice refill with Thumper
annotations excluded, skipped worm return and connected busy/empty/lobby UI.
The initial refill assertion assumed a single card; it was corrected to account
for a legal randomized chain of worms before a territory. The original broad check caught seven view-equality failures in privacy
fixtures that also changed the now-public deck count. Their four test files now
vary hidden allocations/identities at fixed public counts, retain whole-view
assertions and check physical custody. The Sapho fixture now returns its
swapped card rather than losing it. A reviewed CHOAM correction keeps its owner
empty during donor1to2 by staging a hidden discard; the original oracle test
remains intact. All70 affected focused tests pass.
Types, lint, all 4990 offline tests, production build and 49 HTTP tests
passed on stable source. Browser QA reused the existing three-human Basic Nexus
without any game action. Treachery29 and Spice19 matched saved physical arrays;
390px layout fit within339px without internal overflow, with16px body/14px labels.
The internal guide worked by click and Enter, and Back/refresh restored the same
counts. Normal viewport restored and preview retained. Screenshot capture timed
out; full visual, screen-reader,200% text and combined-game acceptance stay open.
All 1499 opening rooms, 3171 seats and auxiliary rows are
unchanged. SQLite integrity and foreign keys pass; isolated HTTP rooms are new.
Healthy server reused without restart, migration, reset or recurring automation.
Full AI refinement remains deferred and no mode/publication gate was opened.

Allow a physical Sapho holder to go first among remaining unstarted combined
shipment/movement turns after earlier players have fully finished. Preserve
completed resources, cards, counters and physical order. Keep Advanced Guild
priority guarded until Guild leaves the remaining queue. Reuse private controls,
all four AI profiles and the existing action/CAS continuation.
Add four engine regressions and one independently authored SQLite recovery race;
upgrade the existing Sapho Advanced engine fixture to genuine Advanced setup.
Update player guidance and the rules decision register. Record the fourteen
Leader Skill cards and lifecycle as sourced future work, with unresolved edges.
No mode or publication gates are opened.
Validation: check (types, lint, 4,369 offline tests) and build passed. All 35 focused
Sapho tests passed; independent engine/persistence review found no blocker.
One initial focused Advanced test omitted the existing Guild shipment approval;
it was corrected to resolve that real decision before ending the turn.
No HTTP/auth/schema change; the HTTP suite was not repeated for this checkpoint.
Following the reported power outage, the existing localhost server was healthy,
SQLite integrity/foreign-key checks passed, and the saved QA seat restored the
same private hand, forces, resources and pending Storm decision after refresh.
All 291 opening room versions/state hashes and all application seat/recovery/
entry/handover records match the fresh backup. Cloudflare internal metadata
changed; application data did not. No restart or database reset was needed.
