Connect original selected-deck Discovery setup, optional Nexus/World/Skills/phase modules and physical card consumers through shared public capabilities. Retain Cunning revealed-location arrival, Sandtrout suppression, paid nested R/Harass and actual later Recruits revival. Preserve native trained-capture and unrelated-preview boundaries.
Validation: frozen 15-file118/118, types/lint/build and six finite original-action/rendered-control programmes; four minimal legal policies. External smoke corrections changed no application source. Existing persistent notices also rechecked23/23. Full combinations, assurance and deployed acceptance remain open; no saved-game, restart or deployment operation.
Retain actual Cunning appearances, paid Karama and typed remote riding with optional Sandmaster collection and source-parent HMS entry. Preserve Betrayal movement sources and apply its declared worm restriction to Great Maker reserve riding without suppressing votes or casualties. Completed Maker history no longer blocks a later ordinary offer.
Validation: frozen 14-file86/86, types/lint/build, nine finite original-action/rendered-control programmes, four minimal legal policies. Discovery destination proof remains focused quotes pending actual arrival; full combinations, assurance and deployed acceptance remain required. No saved-game, restart or deployment operation.
Retain original selected modules, typed native returns, advisors and hidden No-Field recall. Preserve a full unspent Guild/Sapho opening, paid ordered arrivals, capped provisional No-Field destruction and native World Sneak withdrawal. Bind desert Aftermath to its original Moritani Cunning placement.
Validation: frozen 16-file115/115, types/lint/build, eight finite original-action and GameTable SSR programmes, four minimal legal policies. Document provisional overlaps and corrected genuine recipes. No stored-game change or deployment; full combinations, comprehensive assurance and deployed acceptance remain required.
Selected Ecaz/Moritani decks with independent cards and Nexus now retain native Occupy, Advanced assassination, arrival ordering and shared Duke consumers, including original optional modules. Keep the trained E3/Harkonnen capture boundary and remaining individual Nexus effect limits explicit.
Validation: frozen 17-file 168/168, types/lint/build, seven finite original-action and table-SSR programmes, plus four minimal legal Cunning/expiry policies. Fixture corrections preserve the printed alliance draw gate and real paid placement affordability. No stored-game or production change; comprehensive and deployed acceptance remain open.
Retain selected decks and original optional modules through normal setup, distinguish native Ixian Betrayal from absent-faction replacement, route explicit CHOAM fuel before printed effects, and preserve native No-Field invoices and pair continuation. Connect canonical native cancellation stock and existing human/minimal AI consumers.
Validation: 194 affected tests across 19 files, types/lint/build, bounded native invoice review and seven finite original-action/rendered-control programmes. Runtime ec5ad6c18996d8d958ec0d01132ef3e3ea6d23d36188902eca9a63d4db2efbf8; documentation-only proof overlay a5892004937434429916496497c07a3838a324b4a5d64d4a0eb804ab5212d5bd. Other envelopes, full combinations, comprehensive assurance and deployed acceptance remain open. No saved-room/provider changes.
Retain independent36, original Homeworlds and Nexus12 through classic fresh setup with optional Skills and phase modules. Resolve own-World Reinforcements fees before computing temporary Sardaukar roles, preserving original Cunning declarations, printed traits and physical counters. Record the provisional ordinary-nonrole-first policy and align human/AI quotes and captions.
Validation: types/lint/build, 128 affected tests across 15 files, bounded rule-source review and finite original-action smoke for Recruits, Harass, local-fee Cunning, all four legal policies and rendered source controls. Verified runtime c219ec587a54b44079539168d93835a5af904c8afb4de58bcec0a3d60c809f0c; documentation-only proof update 8ee21598e7be0c89a08fbad50786c346ebc8ae705492d8b31ea00fae0ffefa3c. Full modes, combinations, assurance and deployed acceptance remain open. No saved-room/provider changes.
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.
