Truthtrance: the current Traitor declaration

Meaning and authority

Prototyped / Partial — 25 October 2026. After both plans reveal, ask an actual voter who has not submitted whether they will declare the opposing leader a Traitor in this battle. Yes requires the original legal Reveal; No requires decline. This concerns the declaration, not whether later Karama or Nexus betrayal allows its effect. Fulfill at the actual declaration before those responses. Submitted Yes and No votes are never reopened or rewritten.

This composes the general current-turn action/decision rule from GF9's November2020 FAQ printedp8, recorded in the shipment authority. No dedicated publisher Traitor-promise example or new ruling is claimed. Future unrevealed-leader scenarios, arbitrary promises and full-mode acceptance remain separate. The question has no new faction/module start permission.

Shared native decision

The engine's original voters and beneficiary determine who can answer, including combatants, Ecaz co-side voters and a remote Harkonnen ally. Homeworlds retain their native-voter restriction. Use the same matching physical Traitor and Kwisatz Haderach check as a real declaration. A Face Dancer is not an ordinary Traitor. A leaderless/protected or unmatched opponent supplies only No.

Bind current turn, original battle event, voter, beneficiary, opposing player and revealed leader. Private eligibility stays out of that public source. Only the respondent sees feasible answers. Public authoring targets depend on native decision ownership and submission, not hidden card custody. A definite answer consumes the original physical Truthtrance and resumes the interrupted parent. Its original discard continuation binds the new promise as well.

Both combatant and allied vote controls use shared private allowed choices and a persistent promise notice. Busy answer callbacks submit nothing. Existing minimal policies answer and declare from those choices; no strategy tuning or difficulty calibration is added. Opposing impossibility can release a still-live Yes, while voluntary actions cannot erase the required legal declaration.

Harkonnen Cunning

Printed Cunning may draw during this revealed battle and then requires returning one held identity. Secret Ally has its existing Mentat timing. See the native timing contract.

A live promised Reveal protects its matching identity from a voluntary return. Check the exact selection before applying the exchange or shuffling, and show the same private blocked reason in controls and legal bot choices. Other held identities, including the new draw, remain available. A previously selected blocked identity can be unchecked. No stays binding after a new draw and may return its matching card. A fulfilled declaration may also return that card: the original declaration receipt/effective call remains independent of later custody. A Truthtrance overlay may add its promise during a pending return; the original parent exempts only the old/new promise ledgers, retaining its other battle/continuation fields.

Evidence and remaining scope

The Basic source earns original base33 setup/deal, an actual opposing Traitor choice, paid invasion and two legal zero-dial unarmed plans. The Harkonnen sources earn actual turn-two alliances, paid Karama/invasion, original four-Traitor hand and sealed plans. The Cunning branch additionally earns its real original Harkonnen Nexus draw and pending native return. No played hand, force, wallet, clock, alliance, vote, promise or parent is installed. A separate unmatched-card case explicitly uses a conserved original-card exchange. Current choices quote present native matching eligibility; unknown future Traitor draws are not assumed to supply a new Yes. Broader owned future-preparation questions remain unfinished.

Pure choices, native declarations, allied prevention/Cunning and answer controls cover the changed path. Frozen 13 files101/101, types/lint/build and six genuine native engine/answer-callback/GameTable SSR journeys pass. Basic26, allied Harkonnen72 and Cunning77 source prefixes earn original setup/cards, payments, alliances, plans and draw/return. Actual answer callbacks respect busy state; four minimal profiles answer/declare legally. Submitted-false handling and a response-stopping fixture are repaired; final annotations/narrowing pass, with exact queued sealed-vote refusal retained.
