# Leader Skills first functional prototype
|
|
|
|
13 September 2026. This is **Prototyped**, with **Partial** rules coverage.
|
|
Normal mode starts and publication remain gated. The [source contract](LEADER_SKILLS_RULES.md)
|
|
contains all fourteen physical cards; the [capture interpretation](LEADER_SKILLS_CAPTURE.md)
|
|
records the fresh publisher/designer search requested by the user.
|
|
|
|
## Connected boundary
|
|
|
|
Genuine Basic or Advanced setup supports two through six base factions. Starting
|
|
Treachery Cards, including Harkonnen's extra card, precede simultaneous private
|
|
two-card skill offers. Every faction selects one physical skill and an eligible
|
|
own leader, returns the other card to the shuffled deck, and publicly assigns
|
|
the selected card before traitor choices. No reduced or duplicate skill deck is
|
|
substituted. Expansion rosters and other optional modules remain separate work.
|
|
|
|
Human controls show each permitted card's normal and battle text, select its
|
|
leader, choose battle posture, and handle an optional own-leader revival draw.
|
|
An undrawn revival offer shows no preview; drawing obliges a selection. All four
|
|
AI profiles follow the same private offers and legal actions, prioritizing the
|
|
five battle disciplines during skill selection and hiding the assigned leader for battle. This
|
|
simple policy is not calibrated skill strategy.
|
|
|
|
Warmaster, Master of Assassins, Swordmaster of Ginaz, Killer Medic and
|
|
Prana-Bindu Adept apply +1 to another selected leader from a face-up native
|
|
trainer, or +3 to the surviving assigned leader. They use the physical card's
|
|
actual weapon or defense role, including a legally supplied Portable Snooper.
|
|
They do not grant +4 or change printed strength, leader bounty or Zoal's source
|
|
value. Existing traitor, explosion and Stone Burner precedence is preserved.
|
|
Cheap Hero receives the normal +1 through ordinary leader substitution; this
|
|
is a general-rule inference, without a separately located explicit skill FAQ.
|
|
|
|
A face-up assigned disc cannot enter a plan. Concealing it while selecting
|
|
another leader gives no skill bonus. Later Voice or card use can remove the
|
|
last alternative: the mandatory remaining skilled disc then moves behind the
|
|
shield automatically, without replaying battle powers. A surviving assignment
|
|
returns face up after battle. Death returns its physical card exactly once.
|
|
An own Ghola revival during unfinished battle preparation retains that stage
|
|
through the new private draw and public posture choice.
|
|
|
|
Harkonnen capture keeps the card attached to its original leader and publicly
|
|
shows the current captor. Only the captive's lower battle effect can apply;
|
|
neither faction receives its normal effect while captured. A surviving used
|
|
captive returns with the same card. Execution returns the card to the deck;
|
|
that unique formerly public card makes this skilled leader's identity inferable.
|
|
Other captures retain the existing privacy behavior. This narrow publicity
|
|
interpretation follows the physical component procedure, not an express
|
|
publisher instruction to announce a name.
|
|
|
|
## Missing and guarded work
|
|
|
|
The other nine cards have readable inventory entries but **missing effects**:
|
|
Bureaucrat, Spice Banker, Diplomat, Mentat, Suk Graduate, Rihani Decipherer,
|
|
Sandmaster, Smuggler and Planetologist. They are not completed features.
|
|
|
|
Captured-card replacement entitlement remains unresolved. The prototype rejects
|
|
own-leader revival while its original skill is captured, before beginning a
|
|
paid revival or consuming the Ghola/special-Karama action. This is an explicit
|
|
unsupported boundary, not a ruling that the physical game forbids that revival.
|
|
Foreign gholas, expansion rosters and combined optional modules remain gated.
|
|
Before enabling them, add response-driven automatic revival continuation
|
|
coverage; the current before/after revival observer does not certify deferred
|
|
Tleilaxu response chains. The other source-contract timing questions also remain
|
|
open. Planetologist now has bounded movement and battle controls as described below.
|
|
The other eight skills still need their payments, information, rescues, retreats
|
|
and other effects connected.
|
|
|
|
## Planetologist follow-up
|
|
|
|
[Planetologist](PLANETOLOGIST_RULES.md) connects the explicit capped range bonus,
|
|
two-origin movement to one destination, Fremen cancellation/replacement and a
|
|
surviving skilled leader's +2 green-Special substitution with mandatory discard.
|
|
The movement panel and weapon selector expose those choices; all four AI profiles
|
|
can use the same physical action paths. Pending movement receipts survive JSON
|
|
continuation and revalidate source custody before a response is spent.
|
|
|
|
Six base factions remain the supported roster. Mixed BG origins are supported
|
|
where ordinary rules determine the destination stance. Enemy-only mixed arrival
|
|
still needs a combined flip response. Expansion faction/card/module combinations
|
|
and full integrated acceptance remain unfinished. Eight other skill effects are
|
|
still missing; this is partial prototype coverage.
|
|
|
|
## Local prototype entry and evidence
|
|
|
|
Create a new base-faction local lobby, select its seats and mark them ready.
|
|
Keep its browser cookie. Use the existing backup and atomic version-check tool:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
node --import tsx tools/start-prototype.ts --profile leader-skills \
|
|
--db PATH_TO_LOCAL_D1_SQLITE --room EIGHT_CHARACTER_CODE \
|
|
--version CURRENT_LOBBY_VERSION --out /private/new-prototype-checkpoint
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Only that fresh named lobby is initialized; every other room and all seats stay
|
|
intact. Refresh to continue through ordinary authenticated actions. No HTTP
|
|
endpoint dispatches the initializer; do not restart or reset the database.
|
|
|
|
Focused tests cover physical inventory, setup ordering, private views, all five
|
|
bonuses, Voice legality, capture and return, death, revival and JSON restoration.
|
|
SQLite tests use production room actions across restarted stores and concurrent
|
|
selection: one choice commits, the selected card has one owner, the rejected
|
|
card returns once, and private offers remain owner-only. The local prototype
|
|
writer is separately checked for stale/redeal rejection and preserved seats.
|
|
|
|
Two seeded four-player simulations (20260913 Basic; 20260914 Advanced) completed
|
|
through genuine setup in 265 and 211 accepted actions with no rejected bot
|
|
candidates. They used Easy, Medium, Hard and Brutal, checked physical skills and
|
|
forces, and restored JSON views at fourteen sampled boundaries in total.
|
|
These were first-batch runs before the later capture and Voice review fixes;
|
|
their private report fingerprints the exact files exercised. They do not prove
|
|
all fourteen effects, Harkonnen capture or every interaction was played.
|
|
|
|
A later Advanced run including Harkonnen (seed 20260915) completed in 360
|
|
accepted actions, four turns and ten sampled JSON restores, with no rejected
|
|
bot candidates. It exercised the current controller/Voice integration. Exact
|
|
captured-card outcomes are proved by the focused capture scenarios, rather
|
|
than inferred from this sample game's completion.
|
|
|
|
Browser room `REF6YHN7` was created normally with a human Atreides and Medium
|
|
Harkonnen, then initialized through the backed-up local tool. The human inspected
|
|
both effect bands, assigned Master of Assassins to Thufir Hawat, selected a
|
|
private traitor and reached Storm. Refresh retained that assignment, the AI's
|
|
Swordmaster on Feyd-Rautha, the same Snooper hand and the pending Storm dial.
|
|
Visual inspection caught two squeezed columns in the table sidebar; single-column
|
|
cards restore readable text. This was a focused desktop setup/recovery journey,
|
|
not a complete human game or mobile acceptance.
|
|
|
|
The second reported power outage stopped the development server. All 292 rooms
|
|
were present with a clean SQLite integrity/foreign-key check; the 291 opening
|
|
rooms matched their hashes. A new online backup preceded the necessary server
|
|
start. The same browser seat then restored both skills, Snooper, private Thufir
|
|
traitor, ten spice and its pending Storm decision. No database reset or old
|
|
game restoration was performed.
|
|
|
|
Checkpoint-wide check/build/HTTP results and the final source fingerprint are
|
|
recorded in the commit and private verification report. Full module and combined
|
|
game acceptance remain unfinished.
