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. Verified source tree: 85d5a53fa72efb9704c1828526aaccba1554670307ce476f729eae9c5c4abff9
Dune — Arrakis Table
An unofficial multiplayer adaptation of Gale Force Nine’s classic 2019 Dune, built with React, TypeScript, Vinext, and Cloudflare Workers/D1. Development is ongoing; this is not yet a complete rules implementation. Advanced and unfinished expansion starts remain disabled. Start with current status for implemented systems, remaining requirements and release gates; detailed historical evidence remains in the implementation log.
Run locally
Use Node.js 22.13 or newer and npm. Install the locked dependencies and apply local migrations before starting the server:
npm ci
npm run db:local
npm run dev -- --host 0.0.0.0
Open http://localhost:3000. Create a room, share its eight-character invitation, and add human or AI seats. The host can configure Easy, Medium, Hard and Brutal AI opponents. Current calibration demonstrates a substantially weaker Easy policy; it does not yet demonstrate a consistent ordering among the upper three levels.
Local games persist in .wrangler/state. Keep this directory across restarts. Apply new additive migrations before running code that depends on them. Never delete the local database to resolve a connection or rules problem. .openai/hosting.json belongs to the existing Sites project; do not recreate the hosting project.
Saved seats and reconnecting
The room cookie identifies your seat. Refreshing or reopening the invitation with that cookie restores your private hand and pending decisions. A failed restoration offers an explicit retry. Requests time out after 15 seconds; uncertain game actions are reconciled with a read rather than automatically repeated.
Use Protect your saved seat to generate and privately save a recovery kit before enabling its key. Keep the complete kit separate from the invitation. Recover a saved seat uses that kit to restore the same faction after cookie loss and revokes the previous browser sessions for that seat. Recovery keeps existing forces, resources and sealed commitments. Anyone holding the kit can control that seat and see its private information.
If recovery receives no confirmed response, keep the page open and retry the same recovery request. The server recognizes the receipt and does not rotate twice. Replacing the recovery key invalidates the older kit. Host-initiated takeover remains unfinished. An owning human seat can enable or disable its own AI control during a started game.
New create/join requests save a private, tab-scoped retry record before sending. If the response is uncertain, keep the tab open and use the explicit retry; refresh preserves the same request. Confirmed success removes that record. Clearly rejected first requests return to the form for correction. A retry can recover the original room and seat without creating duplicates, but closing the tab or clearing its data can lose the proof. This record is separate from the long-term seat recovery kit.
An uncertain saved-kit recovery keeps its exact retry details in memory and prevents conflicting navigation. If that recovery has become obsolete, deliberate abandonment releases the controls after explaining that it cannot undo a completed recovery. Keep a valid saved kit before discarding retry details.
Use Pass your seat to another player for a voluntary one-time transfer. The private offer lasts 24 hours; acceptance preserves progress and revokes the old owner’s sessions and recovery kits. The recipient uses Accept a seat handover on the home page, then creates their own recovery kit. Keep the tab open until acceptance is confirmed; exact private retry details survive refresh in that tab. See seat handover for cancellation, retry behavior and current limits.
Verify changes
Use the development guide for architecture, focused tests and the repeatable verification tools. Tests are discovered automatically; the default suite includes in-memory persistence recovery and needs no server:
npm test -- ecaz-collection ecaz-spice
npm run check
npm run build
Run npm run test:integration against a development server for HTTP/session
changes. npm run test:multiplayer remains available for recovery plus HTTP
checks; npm run test:recovery runs only in-memory persistence tests. All test
commands accept filename fragments and --list after --.
The production build is written to dist. npm start runs that build with Wrangler; apply its database migrations to the intended storage environment before use. The included local migration command targets the development database, not a remote deployment.
Reproduce the current AI study with:
node --import tsx tools/ai-calibration.ts --games 120 --seed 20260907 --out /tmp/dune-ai-calibration.json
See AI calibration, multiplayer audit, component inventory, and visual playtest for scope and limitations. Passing subsystem tests does not certify every rules combination.
Development maintenance
The user-authorized 13 September 2026 local reset established a fresh saved-game baseline; see the reset record. Preserve all games created after that checkpoint.
Reuse the running development server. Restart only when a code or configuration change, or an observed server condition, makes leaving it running likely to cause issues; use judgment rather than an hourly schedule. Preserve database state, warn before interrupting human play, and defer until a safe decision point. Verify server health and restoration after a necessary restart. No recurring automation is installed; the user requested leaving it removed. Fix causes of crashes and lost progress rather than relying on restarts.
The application bundles its artwork, fonts and rules guidance. Source provenance and third-party notices live in developer documentation; the player-facing reference uses internal links. Publication remains gated on completion and integrated verification of the requested rules, expansions and critical player journeys.
