Players can ask total-hand and primary-role card-count comparisons using the existing count controls and compound facts. Component presentation shares the same default-role classification, including canonical Richese cards, Ix alternate uses, and Ecaz slot-only specials. Only the respondent receives the verified aggregate answer; current facts do not impose future custody promises. Eight new tests cover all 60 catalog cards, real engine actions, malformed input, private worlds, all four bots, JSON continuation, and a legal custody transfer. Expanded production-room SQLite cases cover restored total/category/compound facts, suspended auction state, and one winning concurrent answer/discard. Independent review's two copy issues were fixed before broad verification. Validation: types, lint and 4,200 offline tests passed; production build passed; 40 HTTP tests passed. One stable broad run (check 123036 ms, build 6505 ms, integration 23467 ms). Browser room LC3E55GY verified combined role counts, total hand size, invalid-input feedback and refresh at 390px phone width. All 33 pre-integration rooms preserved unchanged; HTTP checks added 30 rooms. No complete-mode, full-game or publication gate opened.

Two bounded workhorse-model helpers, reused UI and SQLite fixtures, one browser room. Counter is not monetary cost and this differently sized batch does not establish a savings percentage. Final Git/push overhead follows this sample.

Rule decision index
Updated 13 September 2026. This is the authoritative navigation index for existing decisions, not a replacement rulebook or a new ruling. Detailed linked contracts retain their source citations and exact supported boundaries. Runtime follow-ups supersede historical absence claims; passing tests establish software behavior, not publisher authority.
Recorded contracts and implementation boundaries
| Topic | Decision to preserve | Detailed authority and evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Source and readiness | Separate published rules, explicit implementation choices and unfinished interpretations; Advanced/expansion gates stay closed. | Base/Advanced audit, checklist |
| Setup and Fremen movement | Preserve source-ordered setup and the distinct declared-movement cancellation; do not recreate fixed historical gaps. | Setup contract, Fremen Karama |
| Guild payment | Rate, transport permission and income are distinct; power owner, shipper, contributors and independent rate-card beneficiary remain distinct. | Rate/cancellation sources, implemented payment routing |
| Truthtrance | Current facts are boolean disclosures, not promises to preserve resources. Structured Basic and base Advanced active-opportunity shipment promises bind within their documented scope (Advanced excludes Guild and optional modules); prose is not automatically enforced. | Spice facts, card facts, shipment promises, remaining audit |
| Truthtrance hand categories | Count current physical hand custody by explicitly named primary role; alternate battle slots and faction powers do not reclassify cards. Only an aggregate answer is disclosed. | Hand inventory |
| Nexus lifecycle | Twelve physical cards, phase draw/replacement and alliance forfeiture; native Cunning, absent-faction Secret Ally and Betrayal have separate effects. No blanket Karama immunity. | Common source contract, lifecycle runtime |
| Nexus faction effects | Preserve physical custody, original faction identity and durable effect receipts; use each printed family instead of borrowing another faction's rules by analogy. | Atreides, Harkonnen, BG, Emperor, Fremen, Guild |
| Expansion Nexus families | Source audit coverage does not imply every panel is playable; consult later runtime records in the status log. | Ixian Cunning, Ixian replacement, Tleilaxu, CHOAM, Richese, Ecaz, Moritani |
| Guild Secret Ally | One explicit Guild-priced ordinary shipment; borrowed prices/routes preserve native identity. Free Fremen reinforcement remains a separate choice. | Route contract, verified runtime |
| Homeworld custody and mobility | Physical home/visitor groups, population thresholds, tariffs and transport permissions retain distinct sources; Homeworld immunity is not universal immunity. | Homeworld rules, benefits, mobility, invasion, Guild transport |
| Homeworld effects | Keep original payment/revival/placement identities and qualification observations; observations alone do not choose an occupied-benefit owner. | Payments, card economy, Collection, revival deployment, victory reinforcement, replacement, Tupile |
Pending interpretations: preserve existing questions
These are unresolved in the cited records. Do not infer an answer from elapsed time, a fixture, a related card or this index. Check subsequent recorded user/source decisions before proceeding; do not send duplicate questions.
| Boundary | Still unresolved | Existing record |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary Guild cancellation | Unaffordable repricing, replacement/retry/decline, consumed opportunity, contributor adjustment and ordering with special shipment-stop. The affordability question was already sent. | Material timing |
| Base special Karama | Unfunded auction recovery, stopped-shipment settlement and Atreides full-plan commitment order remain provisional or require interaction audit. | Explicit base interpretations |
| Guild Secret Ally/Homeworlds | Whether the reserve-return grant overrides the Homeworld return restriction. The question was already sent; that route stays guarded. | Homeworld return, checkpoint |
| Occupied Homeworlds | Entitlement/expiry after departure, replacement or contest; unique powers and shared income. The first-occupier/current-occupier question was already sent. | Occupation questions, lifecycle audit |
| Nexus responses and composition | Betrayal private-response timing, partial revival/payment choices, Emperor fewer-than-five, fresh advisor/storm cases, Duke restoration and remaining faction-specific combinations. | Common boundaries and the individual faction source/runtime documents above |
| Other Homeworld combinations | Population/force splitting, removal custody, replacement shortages, income accounting and placement ordering remain local to their detailed contracts. | Homeworld rules, occupation and the effect documents above |
When a decision changes, record the exact source or user ruling in its detailed feature document, update affected implementation guidance/tests, and adjust this index and current status. Retain historical evidence without presenting a superseded proposal as current behavior.
