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.

The existing offline faction runner now selects genuine Basic and Advanced base games with two through six players. Original six expansion defaults and seed offsets remain stable; player-count filters require the explicit base profile. Saved AI profiles choose every setup and game action. This replaces repeated private harness copies while preserving source-bound private reports, failed traces and explicit snapshot resume.
Shared custody checks include every physical Treachery zone, nonnegative integer resources, twenty-force totals, the distinct Emperor/Fremen/Ixian elite totals and subsets, and canonical base Traitor identities after dealing. Rejected actions must leave their input unchanged; periodic JSON restoration compares all private views and excludes rival private hand/spice/Traitor/Face Dancer fields. Optional modules and separate private previews cannot be resumed as ordinary fixed scenarios. Resume still requires checking original setup provenance and intentionally restarts the selected random stream.
Independent review caught and corrected seven-cyborg accounting, save-derived Traitor expectations, missing elite records and private-preview classification. Meaningful regressions cover those failures plus strict filters, original names/seeds, failed subprocess reporting, source stability and resume. Types, lint and 4823 offline tests pass. No application, dependency, HTTP or database code changed, so build/HTTP suites were not repeated.
All ten base and six existing expansion samples completed on the final unchanged source: 6746 accepted actions, 175 periodic restores, 82 rejected candidates retained in traces. The expansion guarded-arrival fallbacks remain visible; these samples do not certify every faction, optional module, player-count rule or difficulty ordering. Exact expansion Traitor/Face Dancer custody still needs its own adapter. The earlier pilot/source-changed report remains private; the required check was repeated after the late review correction rather than accepting results from changing source.
All 1038 opening games and original seat/recovery records are unchanged; 1038 rooms remain. SQLite integrity and foreign keys pass. The existing QA table restored its saved seat and fulfilled shipment after browser refresh. The healthy server was reused without reset or restart.
The rules register now explicitly records the Moritani Secret Ally after-loss privacy blocker. A holder-only pause exposes its hidden Nexus; the existing alliance-retention helper does not resolve the shared pending response UX decision. No duplicate user question, new house rule or mode/publication gate change was introduced.
