Quintine 20cc6057e9 Connect unmodified Smuggler battle collection
New Leader Skills battles bind territory spice to the public plan reveal and automatically pay the controlling player once the selected Smuggler survives, including a loser or captive with no surviving forces. Cap collection at the original single pile and unmodified disc strength. Pending spice cannot fund a plan. Settlement before Sandmaster's after-win addition remains an explicitly documented timing inference; modified strength, multiple positive piles and other module combinations remain gated pending the existing rulings and integration.

Share pre-seal admission across server, controls and all four bot profiles. Expose the public Ecaz card-variant flag so its guard also works in private views. Normalize the selected Kwisatz value once for UI validation and submission. Fix AI selection of unavailable native face-up skilled discs. Show reveal-time pending guidance and an automatic collection notice/chronicle without a new confirmation. Keep unversioned saved battles on their existing behavior.

Bind saved receipts to the original battle, controller, leader, plans, posture and pile; project no internal binding frame. Void collection on leader death, opposing/mutual Traitors and explosion without restoring destroyed spice. Apply captured-leader settlement before normal custody cleanup. Existing room versioning prevents concurrent final votes from paying twice.

Twelve new engine/SQLite tests cover Basic/Advanced winners and losers, caps, empty piles, zero remaining forces, weapon/Traitor/explosion outcomes, captive survival/death custody, Sandmaster ordering, corrupted receipts, immutable pre-seal guards, legacy continuation, legal paths for four profiles and authenticated concurrent/restarted settlement. Independent review prompted the Ecaz gate and stale-Kwisatz corrections and found no further material defect in the bounded delta. A focused regression also identified the missing public Ecaz configuration field, now projected.

Types, lint, 4884 offline tests, production build and 43 HTTP tests passed on the unchanged source fingerprint. Two genuine four-profile Leader Skills samples completed in 265 Basic and 211 Advanced actions with no rejected candidates and 14 JSON/private-view restorations; neither sampled game naturally exercised Smuggler collection, so focused and browser evidence establish that effect.

In isolated browser room YWV8AGKS, the Emperor selected Smuggler, sealed a zero dial, saw six pending spice without early credit, refreshed the pending decision and submitted no Traitor. After the opponent's production-engine final action, the browser showed the 6-8 loss, automatic six-spice collection, explanatory chronicle and restored balance 26 after another refresh. Opponent/setup staging was private and confined to the new QA room. Screenshot acceptance remains open. An initial private verification script compared SQLite null-prototype rows with parsed JSON too strictly; the transaction rolled back and the corrected content comparison passed.

After the reported outage the server was healthy and the previous private QA seat restored. All 1106 baseline rooms, 2314 seats and every original recovery, entry and handover row remain byte-for-byte unchanged; the HTTP/browser checks added 34 rooms and 71 seats. SQLite integrity and foreign keys pass. No restart, migration, database reset or automation was needed. No mode, module or publication gate is opened.

Current development status

Updated 20 September 2026. The full twelve-faction goal is unfinished. Basic is playable; public Advanced and unfinished expansion/module starts remain gated. Prototypes do not open completion or publication gates.

Current checkpoint and work

Latest delivered checkpoint: 9be7dfb, the interactive introduction. Types, lint, 4,872 offline tests and production build passed. Five lessons connect shared-rule shipping, sealed battle and collection exercises, card inspection and browser-local continuation. Broader teaching remains unfinished. After the reported outage all 1,106 games matched the prior backup and a private QA seat restored after refresh. The healthy server was reused without a reset. Earlier evidence remains in the implementation history.

Current work: Smuggler battle collection connects the unmodified lower band, automatic survival settlement, losing/captured leaders, Sandmaster order, shared controls and bots, and saved continuation. Modified strength and combined modules remain guarded. Final verification and delivery belong to the source-bound private report and Git message.

The connected Harass & Withdraw prototype supports either battle-card slot, private category inspections, exact undialed normal/elite returns, opponent-Traitor cancellation, mandatory disposal, controls and all four AI profiles. New battles also have revealed physical allocation for ordinary/elite mixtures and multi-sector returns. Richese card combinations and additional optional modules stay gated. Withdrawal before explosion and card-specific discard precedence are explicitly labeled inferences. The Stone Burner timing question is pending; no user answer is assumed. Reinforcements remains unfinished. This does not open variant, mode or publication gates.

The preceding early Sapho aggressor connects the printed battle-priority effect during the existing shared pre-plan opportunity. Physical attacker/defender/chooser stay stable; Habbanya takes precedence in either slot. Shared priority feeds Stone admission, ordinary/Stone resolution, public controls and all four AI profiles. Battle-bound history survives private saved continuation. Later intervention remains unfinished; no new ruling is assumed. Final checks, samples, browser evidence and delivery belong to the source-bound private report and Git message.

The Mirror admission review found that every genuine Richese setup contains the unresolved copied weapons. Ordinary-only activation cannot safely depend on hidden custody or alter the printed deck. Mirror remains gated pending the existing disposal ruling and copied-choice work. Continue with independent missing faction/card functions, then integrated play and refinement.

The Smuggler follow-up review supports a saved reveal-time receipt with settlement only on leader survival, but located no official ruling on modified leader strength. The user has been asked about Kwisatz/trainer/Stunner composition; no answer is assumed. See the source follow-up.

Authoritative navigation

  • Rules checklist, topic implementation-checklist and each feature's entries: track implementation, controls, AI, documentation and verification, plus Missing, Prototyped, Integrated, Verified and Polished stages.
  • Rule decision index: settled contracts, source precedence and pending material interpretations. Consult it before reopening research.
  • Development guide and verification tools: architecture, focused checks, source-bound reports, reusable faction samples, private backup and saved-seat restoration.
  • Implementation history: newest first. Historical evidence and outage records stay there and in feature documents; read bounded relevant sections and verify old absence claims against current code/tests.
  • Efficiency pilot: the first three milestones are pushed; measurement limits remain explicit. Reuse tools and checks, without promising an unmeasured savings percentage.

Connected development capabilities

These links define bounded working behavior, not complete module certification.

Area Current connected work and evidence
Base/Advanced setup Genuine setup, Advanced study, Fremen cancellation, Atreides full-plan audit. Earlier Basic-then-flip fixtures do not establish current setup coverage.
Expansion factions Ixians/Tleilaxu and all seven faction selections: genuine setup, Ecaz six-force placement, separate optional card variants, private controls and saved per-lot Ixian/Richese decline. Actual special-lot exchange remains pending.
Leader Skills Common lifecycle, known skilled capture, Mentat question preview, Bureaucrat payments, five battle disciplines, Planetologist, Suk Graduate, Rihani and other battle effects, Smuggler shipment, No-Field and battle collection, Sandmaster routes, Banker spending, Diplomat defense. Remaining bands and combinations are explicit in those contracts.
Discoveries Prototype: genuine setup, Great Maker, seven cards/eight tokens, inspection and stash rewards, nested sites, signed later free entry, carried Ornithopter, sole Cistern, bounded Jacurutu income, Testing Station and Shrine. Orgiz and contested/mixed cases remain pending.
Nexus/Homeworlds Decision index links each integrated faction family, native/borrowed effects, physical custody, private choices, payments and transport. CHOAM Collection trade and Emperor extra revival are connected; CHOAM inspection and Emperor purchase remain pending. A source audit or helper alone is not a completed effect.
Truthtrance Spice facts, card counts, hand inventory, recorded knowledge, and Basic/no-Guild Advanced reserve-shipment promises use authoritative private state. Earlier readiness audits do not supersede these follow-ups.
Other cards Sapho runtime includes first among remaining unstarted movement turns after Advanced Guild has finished. Recruits connects clean Revival play; Harass & Withdraw connects the bounded battle return in the same independent three-card preview. Richese card contracts and the checklist identify other connected effects and explicit gaps.
Multiplayer Saved rooms/seats, recovery, uncertain-request retry, own-seat AI, and voluntary seat handover have connected controls and recovery evidence.

Remaining readiness

Area Remaining gate
Basic core Ordinary Guild repricing/transport settlement, broader truthful commitments, unresolved special timing and integrated rules/human/AI acceptance.
Six-faction Advanced Base gaps, provisional special-Karama outcomes, remaining timing audits and authentic multiplayer/browser acceptance. Setup matrices and complete samples do not open public starts.
Twelve factions and all optional modules Every missing effect, remaining skill bands, Ecaz card variant, Kull Wahad, unfinished Richese cards, Terror effects, occupation entitlement, Nexus interactions, contested Discoveries and complete games across valid combinations. Detailed boundaries remain in the checklist/decision index.
AI Legal continuation for every supported function and distinct Easy/Medium/Hard/Brutal strategy; consistent upper-level strength ordering remains unproven. Defer broad calibration until functional coverage warrants it.
Multiplayer Broader disconnected/abandoned-seat recovery, unattended continuation and network-failure acceptance, while preserving authoritative versioning, custody, privacy and saves.
Components and experience Full component inventory/text verification, all readable inspectors, original artwork, animation/sound/accessibility/mobile polish, complete internal guidance and end-to-end human play.

AI calibration, multiplayer audit, component inventory and visual playtest record their measured scope. README retains publication gates.

Working sequence and preservation

Prototype every remaining function in dependency order, using existing controls, legal AI and the saved-state model. Continue independent functions while material rulings are pending. Then run integrated games, repair failures, deepen combination and recovery coverage, calibrate AI and polish. Keep focused checks for crashes, deadlocks, legality, custody and privacy; complete required broad checkpoint checks. Use selective subagents and independent review for complex rules/privacy/persistence. Commit and push verified checkpoints under “Push all from now on”, verify push success, and stop pursuit at 80% weekly usage consumed with the goal unfinished.

The user-authorized 13 September reset happened once; preserve all games created since it. Keep .wrangler/state, credentials and private backup artifacts out of Git. Reuse a healthy server; restart only for a relevant change or observed problem, with a fresh backup, safe human-play boundary and verified restoration. No hourly restart or recurring maintenance automation is installed; do not recreate one.
