Players can select a non-allied recipient and explicitly pay a whole-spice bribe outside Mentat and open decision/response windows. The server derives private payment limits from uncommitted spice and existing joint Truthtrance completion checks on isolated copies. Target-specific Bureaucrat guards preserve supported redirect/allow continuations. Reserved bids, sealed spending and incoming escrow cannot be spent twice. No strategic AI negotiation or mode/publication changes. The panel separates deferred incoming bribes from spendable supply, disables stale/invalid selections and uses existing request/version fencing. The chronicle now describes actual payment and next-Mentat spendability rather than a promise. Internal guidance and the implementation checklist record this boundary. The separate Emperor gift/Bureaucrat source ambiguity remains explicitly pending. Independent review found no material issue. Focused tests cover out-of-turn payment, JSON escrow/collection, private budgets, invalid targets/amounts, phase/response gates, reserved bids, joint promises, supported redirection and rendered controls. Existing Bureaucrat SQLite/all-four legal response tests pass. The new HTTP test races duplicate submissions and verifies one debit, refreshed private balances and stale/over-budget rejection. Types, lint, all 4968 offline tests, production build and 49 HTTP tests pass on stable source. Preliminary checks caught a typed fixture opener and semantic-status/internal-link/template lint requirements and the new SSR test needed the existing Vinext Link alias. All were corrected before the final4 run. Browser QA used genuine fresh Basic setup with a human payer and Easy AI recipient: 11 rejected by controls, 4 paid from10 leaving6, one public payment entry and unchanged recipient spendable10 with4 in escrow after refresh. Keyboard selection and amount access passed. At390px the panel fits with16px text and44px-or-larger controls; linked rules and back navigation work. Screenshot capture timed out; full visual/assistive and all-configuration acceptance remain open. Browser transport loss was not injected; HTTP concurrency is separately covered. This is playability evidence, not difficulty calibration. All 1418 original rooms, 2991 seats and auxiliary rows are unchanged. SQLite integrity and foreign keys pass. The healthy server was reused without restart, migration, reset or recurring maintenance. Private evidence: 20260921-bribe-controls.

# Current development status
|
|
|
|
Updated 21 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: `7814f74`, [durable table discussion](TABLE_DISCUSSION.md).
|
|
Types, lint, **4,963 offline tests**, production build and **48 HTTP tests** passed.
|
|
All 1,373 opening rooms, 2,883 seats and existing auxiliary rows stayed unchanged;
|
|
new isolated QA brought the local baseline to 1,418 rooms and 2,991 seats. The
|
|
running server was reused. Earlier checkpoints include `b2fcef8` for Storm/Spice
|
|
practice and `66c41b2` for Kwisatz Haderach inspection. The `8f7a62c` policy
|
|
checkpoint removed the usage cutoff and deferred AI refinement until feature
|
|
completion, with three adjacent 75% targets.
|
|
|
|
Current work: [ordinary bribe controls](BRIBE_CONTROLS.md) connect existing engine
|
|
payments to named recipients, private deferred balances and authoritative
|
|
spending limits. Binding Truthtrance answers, reserved costs and Bureaucrat
|
|
continuations remain intact. Source-bound checks, independent review, browser
|
|
and preservation/Git evidence belong to the private checkpoint. Strategic AI
|
|
negotiation and complete rules/multiplayer acceptance remain open. The independent
|
|
Bureaucrat/Emperor gift source review found an unresolved payment-classification
|
|
and disclosure boundary; the existing user question remains pending.
|
|
|
|
A bounded remaining-effect audit found that the reviewed faction/Nexus candidates
|
|
still cross recorded pending rulings. Continue independent features rather than
|
|
inventing answers. The [platform audit](AUTOPILOT.md#platform-audit-20-september-2026)
|
|
found no supported Sites scheduler or Durable Object provisioning contract.
|
|
Durable unattended bot resumption remains blocked on that capability; current
|
|
request/reconnect continuation does not establish it. Continue independent
|
|
player-facing features and integration while preserving pending rules questions.
|
|
|
|
The connected [Harass & Withdraw prototype](HARASS_WITHDRAW_RUNTIME.md) 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](HARASS_ALLOCATION.md) 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](SAPHO_AGGRESSOR.md) 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](MIRROR_WEAPON_ENGINE_AUDIT.md) 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](LEADER_SKILLS_RULES.md#20-september-smuggler-follow-up).
|
|
|
|
## Authoritative navigation
|
|
|
|
- [Rules checklist](../game/reference.ts), 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](RULE_DECISIONS.md): settled contracts, source precedence
|
|
and pending material interpretations. Consult it before reopening research.
|
|
- [Development guide](DEVELOPMENT.md) and [verification tools](VERIFICATION_WORKFLOW.md):
|
|
architecture, focused checks, source-bound reports, reusable faction samples,
|
|
private backup and saved-seat restoration.
|
|
- [Implementation history](IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md): 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](EFFICIENCY_PILOT.md): 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_SETUP_TEST_SEAM.md), [Advanced study](AI_ADVANCED_SETUP_CALIBRATION_20260907.md), [Fremen cancellation](FREMEN_MOVEMENT_KARAMA_RULES.md), [Atreides full-plan audit](ATREIDES_FULL_PLAN_TIMING.md). Earlier Basic-then-flip fixtures do not establish current setup coverage. |
|
|
| Expansion factions | [Ixians/Tleilaxu](IX_PROTOTYPE.md) and [all seven faction selections](EXPANSION_FACTIONS_PROTOTYPE.md): 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](LEADER_SKILLS_RUNTIME.md), [known skilled capture](LEADER_SKILLS_CAPTURE.md), [Mentat question preview](MENTAT_QUESTION.md), [Bureaucrat payments](BUREAUCRAT_PAYMENTS.md), five battle disciplines, [Planetologist](PLANETOLOGIST_RULES.md), [Suk Graduate](SUK_GRADUATE_RULES.md), [Rihani and other battle effects](LEADER_BATTLE_EFFECTS.md), [Smuggler shipment](SMUGGLER_SHIPMENT.md), [No-Field](SMUGGLER_NO_FIELD.md) and [battle collection](SMUGGLER_BATTLE.md), [Sandmaster routes](SANDMASTER_MOVEMENT.md) and [worm rides](SANDMASTER_WORM.md), [Banker spending](SPICE_BANKER_RUNTIME.md), [Diplomat defense](DIPLOMAT_DEFENSE.md). Remaining bands and combinations are explicit in those contracts. |
|
|
| Discoveries | [Prototype](DISCOVERY_PROTOTYPE.md): 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](RULE_DECISIONS.md) links each integrated faction family, native/borrowed effects, physical custody, private choices, payments and transport. [CHOAM Collection trade](NEXUS_CHOAM_SECRET_ALLY.md) and [Emperor extra revival](NEXUS_EMPEROR_SECRET_ALLY_RUNTIME.md) are connected; CHOAM inspection and Emperor purchase remain pending. A source audit or helper alone is not a completed effect. |
|
|
| Truthtrance | [Spice facts](TRUTHTRANCE_SPICE_FACTS.md), [card counts](TRUTHTRANCE_CARD_COUNT.md), [hand inventory](TRUTHTRANCE_HAND_INVENTORY.md), [recorded knowledge](TRUTHTRANCE_KNOWLEDGE.md), and [Basic/no-Guild Advanced reserve-shipment promises](TRUTHTRANCE_SHIPMENT_PROMISES.md) use authoritative private state. Earlier readiness audits do not supersede these follow-ups. |
|
|
| Other cards | [Sapho runtime](JUICE_OF_SAPHO_RUNTIME.md) includes first among remaining unstarted movement turns after Advanced Guild has finished. [Recruits](RECRUITS_RUNTIME.md) connects clean Revival play; [Harass & Withdraw](HARASS_WITHDRAW_RUNTIME.md) 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 | [Public and private discussion](TABLE_DISCUSSION.md), saved rooms/seats, [recovery](../README.md#saved-seats-and-reconnecting), uncertain-request retry, [own-seat AI](AUTOPILOT.md), [named-player AI permission](SEAT_AI_PERMISSION.md) and [voluntary seat handover](SEAT_HANDOVER.md) 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 | Maintain minimal legal participation and critical correctness fixes while game features are unfinished. Full implementation, strategy refinement and calibration wait until all non-AI features are complete; then target approximately 75% higher-tier wins for Medium/Easy, Hard/Medium and Brutal/Hard. See the [AI development plan](AI_DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md). These targets remain unverified. |
|
|
| 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](AI_CALIBRATION.md), [multiplayer audit](MULTIPLAYER_AUDIT.md),
|
|
[component inventory](COMPONENT_INVENTORY.md) and [visual playtest](VISUAL_PLAYTEST.md)
|
|
record their measured scope. [README](../README.md) 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, and complete all non-AI features. Only then fully implement
|
|
and refine AI strategy and calibrate the adjacent difficulty pairs. 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. The user removed the usage cutoff and routine account-usage checks;
|
|
efficient work, Git delivery and selective subagents remain required.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
