Mandatory advisor conversion after ground movement

Source and provisional duration — 24 October 2026

Status: Prototyped / Partial. Supplied authorized Advanced physical28 E says advisors alone in a territory automatically become fighters. Physical17’s Karama table permits preventing one group’s flip to or from advisors. Applying the two connects a real counter to that mandatory conversion; automatic does not itself confer immunity. Physical16 permits Karama only after setup/At Start, so setup conversions remain automatic without this response.

This slice connects ground-movement producers: an advisor group entering an empty destination and the last outsider departing its territory. The physical move, counters, normal movement opportunity and any completed movement promise are already committed. The ordinary advisorFlip response then permits or prevents the conversion. Prevention cannot undo movement or spend another move.

The 14 October choose-recommended authority selects a provisional duration: the prevented group remains advisors while continuously alone in that territory, across phase and turn changes. Another faction’s presence or the physical group becoming empty closes that occurrence. A group moving elsewhere gets its new destination’s ordinary stance and a new conversion opportunity when applicable. This duration is not a directly retrieved publisher ruling. Repeated normalization cannot simply erase the canceled result or offer an immediate free retry.

Connected behavior

• Pure rule identifies current public groups, binds a current turn/phase/mover/movement count and exact physical group, and settles a held stance without reading cards, leaders or spice.
• Engine marks each occurrence after physical ground movement, queues its original source and opens the existing native response. Allowance deletes the advisor stance; cancellation retains the occurrence hold. The source is revalidated before card disposal and outcome settlement. Multiple groups retain ordered independent responses.
• Advisor normalization and the shared board resolution quote retain held advisors. Such forces still do not fight, collect, grant stronghold income, count for victory or supply ornithopters. Ordinary arrival matching retains an existing held group’s stance instead of silently converting it when joined.
• Karama source selection binds the actual pending occurrence rather than unrelated game state. The normal table response explains that the move is complete and displays the provisional duration. There is no new confirmation or timer. Existing minimal bot response handling remains, without strategy changes.

No start gate, physical inventory, save, schema or room is reset. Setup and legacy unheld non-ground conversions keep their existing behavior. Remaining mandatory producers include shipments, withdrawals, casualties/aftermath and other special arrivals; matching an existing fighter group and broader interleavings also remain unfinished. This checkpoint does not claim complete advisor-conversion cancellation or full Advanced compliance.

Bounded verification

The native fixture starts genuine public Advanced Bene Gesserit/Atreides/Guild. The native advisorSetup action puts one advisor beside Atreides’ original ten Arrakeen forces. Only unopened original Treachery/Spice order and scalar shuffle order are selected. Atreides receives the original Karama, both Spice draws and ordinary first-round controls execute, the original optional preparation is declined and Guild uses its timing choice. The arrival branch stops at BG’s turn; the departure branch really skips that turn and stops at Atreides’. No played army, phase, wallet, stance, card hand, response or prevention receipt is installed.

Native engine cases cover both allowed/canceled moves, continuous hold through actual phase continuation, an actual outsider return, changed-source rejection and existing profiles. Pure cases cover group selection, settlement and exact source validation. The former empty-arrival expectation in advisor regressions is cut over explicitly. Frozen 16 files199/199, types/lint and production build pass. Five native move/response/GameTable SSR journeys cover allowed/canceled arrival/departure and an actual outsider return. Eight existing-profile paths accept legal standard responses and continue. The original arrival source takes34 actions; departure takes36, including the real skipped BG movement. Existing Karama/Allow controls render, without a new component-callback or browser certificate. One redundant import is repaired after the first passing199-case union; the final frozen source then passes every check.
