Admit genuine Basic Tleilaxu/base setup with the full fourteen-skill deck, Ix card inventories and native three Face Dancers. Share public profile guards across existing skill effects while retaining public-start and Advanced gates. Record native own-leader skill offers at successful revival commitment so automatic Tleilaxu response chains preserve the optional private draw. Connect Rihani to unrevealed Face Dancer exchange with exact physical/status custody, private controls and existing legal AI choices. Release completed Rihani's live snapshot only after validated Face Dance admission; keep signed history and current census checks. Zoal Smuggler uses opposing printed disc value at reveal, excluding opposing skill bonuses and his separate revival value. Add genuine setup, response/cancellation, private choice, custody, Face Dance reset, Zoal, legal AI and authenticated concurrent recovery regressions. Add a reproducible two-through-six-player sample profile and saved continuation. Preserve unresolved skill effects, foreign-ghola boundaries and delayed AI tuning. Validation: types, lint, 5,058 offline tests and production build passed. Five full games completed with zero rejected actions and 74 JSON restores. Browser QA CRY4DD4J used genuine setup and an explicitly conserved staged battle; real Rihani draw/exchange and same-state refresh passed on mobile and desktop. Screenshot capture timed out; full visual acceptance remains open. No HTTP endpoint/auth/storage implementation changed; authenticated SQLite recovery was verified. All 1,581 prior rooms, 3,349 seats and auxiliary records were preserved. One new QA room/seat remains. No server restart, database reset or automation.

Basic Moritani with Leader Skills
Connected development prototype, 21 September 2026. Basic rules, Moritani and two through six total seats with base-faction opponents now use the full fourteen-card Leader Skills deck. Public starts and publication remain gated; this integrates existing effects, not complete Leader Skills compliance.
Public configuration and setup
The existing leader-skills local initializer accepts exactly ['ecaz'],
Basic rules, Moritani plus base factions, and no other optional modules. It
does not enable Ecaz, Advanced assassination, the separate Ecaz Treachery
variant, Homeworlds, Nexus, Discoveries, Tech Tokens or Stronghold Cards with
this roster. Existing base and CHOAM/Richese profiles retain their boundaries.
Admission uses only public configuration, never hidden hands or the random deal.
Starting Treachery Cards and the ordinary private two-card skill offers precede Traitors. Every physical skill remains eligible for Basic Moritani assignment; there is no reduced deck or card-specific admission workaround. Moritani places its six starting forces after the other setup choices. Existing human controls, private offers, public assignments and minimal legal AI choices are reused.
Connected interactions
Shared public-profile checks connect Banker spending, Diplomat base-defense copying, Sandmaster ground/worm collection, Smuggler shipping/battle collection, Bureaucrat payment redirection and Planetologist movement across engine, projection, controls and bots. Suk casualty rescue, Rihani exchanges and Sandmaster victory spice use the same expanded battle boundary. Printed leader strength stays distinct from skill bonuses and bounty calculations.
Terror Assassination kills an ordinary skilled leader under the existing Terror rules and returns its exact physical skill once. A later own-leader revival offers an optional draw before revealing either card; the drawn choice remains private through saved continuation. Sabotage affects Treachery custody only. An Enemy of My Enemy alliance changes allies without transferring assignments. The losing ally's retention choice excludes a used Planetologist Special and a Diplomat copied Worthless card, since both must be discarded after use.
These are compositions of the recorded Leader Skills contract, Terror Assassination, enemy alliance, ally retention, Planetologist and Diplomat contracts. No new publisher ruling is asserted. Existing Atomics/Extortion, exceptional assassination pools and competing-arrival questions remain explicit.
Remaining work
The Leader Skills runtime retains unfinished normal Banker income, ordinary Mentat-question activation, Diplomat retreat, modified Smuggler collection, captured replacement entitlement and other source gaps. The private Mentat question preview has not been enabled for this roster. Basic Moritani admission does not settle those effects or certify every valid expansion/module combination. Advanced Moritani, Ecaz and Ixians need their own integration. The later Basic Tleilaxu checkpoint connects its own revival response chains and Face Dancer interactions. Full AI strategy and difficulty calibration still wait for feature completion.
Reproducible entry and verification
Create a fresh Basic lobby with Ecaz & Moritani selected, seat Moritani and only base opponents, and ready every human. Preserve the room cookie and run the existing backed-up, version-checked local tool:
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-moritani-skills
node --import tsx tools/faction-games.ts --profile moritani-skills \
--out /private/new-moritani-skills-samples
npm test -- moritani-skills
The sample profile runs Basic games at two through six seats, adding Emperor,
Guild, Harkonnen, Fremen and Bene Gesserit in that order. It preserves all four
existing difficulty profiles and verifies Treachery, skill, Traitor and force
custody, rejected-action immutability and periodic JSON/private-view restoration.
Separate genuine-setup focused tests include Atreides. These are legal-play
samples, not calibration or exhaustive roster/skill coverage. Interrupted games
can use the existing --resume path, which retains the full module and roster.
Focused regressions exercise every physical skill assignment, public guards, movement controls, legal bot choices, Terror death/Sabotage, revival, payment, battle effects, real alliances and mandatory retention exclusions. Authenticated in-memory SQLite restart and concurrent choices verify one physical assignment, private offers, preserved seats and the final Moritani placement. Conserved staged phase/battle positions are labeled rather than claimed as played games.
Private source-bound final checks, sample results, browser observations,
saved-game preservation and Git delivery live under 20260921-moritani-skills
outside the checkout. Actual outcomes and remaining limitations are recorded in
the commit message; no saved game is reset or discarded for verification.
