Expand the internal introduction to eight lessons and six Basic exercises. A Fremen practice auction teaches budget limits, raising, passing and re-entry, full-hand exclusion, all-pass termination, winner-only payment and private purchase inspection. Two explicitly fixed opponent scripts make legal teaching moves without a confirmation step or changes to actual AI strategies. Extract ordinary bid validation and next-seat/payment/unbid selection into shared pure helpers used by both the practice and live engine. The engine retains actual card custody, ally contribution, Karama, Bureaucrat, payment and response handling. Inconsistent order/eligibility fails closed instead of an unbounded loop. No mode/expansion/publication gate changes. Version 3 lesson saves retain the existing key and migrate all five v1 and seven v2 positions by identity. Prior committed movement, battle and Traitor choices persist. Only learner bid/pass choices are saved and semantically replayed; over-budget, underbid, full-hand and post-terminal choices are rejected, and unrelated fields are stripped. Independent review found no material defect. Types, lint, 4925 offline tests and production build pass on stable final source. Nine new tests cover shared bidding order/eligibility/funding and practice outcomes, actual engine payment/card-custody comparisons, all-pass/full-hand paths, all v2 lesson migrations and saved replay. Existing v1, movement, combat and Traitor checks remain green. HTTP/auth/schema code did not change; offline checks include existing in-memory persistence tests, and no live HTTP suite was rerun for this checkpoint. Browser checks confirm preserved older movement practice, heading focus, keyboard budget control, invalid bid blocking, pass/re-entry, refresh during and after the auction, private Shield inspection, full-hand and all-pass results. The completed bid display stays at the actual committed amount. At 390px controls fit at 309px wide with at least 44px height and no document overflow; the viewport was reset. Screenshot capture still times out, so visual screenshot acceptance remains unverified. The page has no external links and the existing Learn tab is retained. All 1337 original rooms, 2805 seats and every existing recovery/entry/handover/delegation/migration row are unchanged. SQLite integrity and foreign keys pass. No reset, migration, restart, automation, account-usage check or AI strength calibration occurred. Bounded current-state review also confirmed Extortion, Atomics and Kull still cross previously recorded material rulings; no duplicate questions or house rules were introduced. Alliances, faction/Advanced/expansion teaching and the full game objective remain unfinished. Verified source tree: b5d318722db155645e98ec3319ffea47f4caa049a06ff5d97abc850db59cb717

Current development status
Updated 20 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: b9718ac, lobby AI configuration.
Types, lint, 4,916 offline tests, production build and 46 HTTP tests passed.
All 1,262 baseline rooms and 2,644 seats stayed unchanged; the new preservation
baseline contains 1,337 rooms and 2,805 seats. No restart was needed.
The preceding b21b2bc connects one-use AI permission.
The 8f7a62c policy checkpoint removed the
usage cutoff and deferred AI refinement until feature completion, with three
adjacent 75% win-rate targets. Earlier evidence remains in the
implementation history.
Current work: interactive bidding connects the eighth lesson to shared ordinary-auction calculations, private purchase inspection and versioned saved practice. No AI strategy is changed. Independent review and final browser/check/build/preservation evidence belong to the source-bound private report and Git message. Alliances, faction/Advanced/expansion teaching and broader disconnected-seat acceptance remain unfinished.
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 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 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 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 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 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.

implementation-checklistand each feature's entries: track implementation, controls, AI, documentation and verification, plus Missing, Prototyped, Integrated, Verified and Polished stages. - Rule decision index: settled contracts, source precedence and pending material interpretations. Consult it before reopening research.
- Development guide and verification tools: architecture, focused checks, source-bound reports, reusable faction samples, private backup and saved-seat restoration.
- Implementation history: 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: 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 study, Fremen cancellation, Atreides full-plan audit. Earlier Basic-then-flip fixtures do not establish current setup coverage. |
| Expansion factions | Ixians/Tleilaxu and all seven faction selections: 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, known skilled capture, Mentat question preview, Bureaucrat payments, five battle disciplines, Planetologist, Suk Graduate, Rihani and other battle effects, Smuggler shipment, No-Field and battle collection, Sandmaster routes and worm rides, Banker spending, Diplomat defense. Remaining bands and combinations are explicit in those contracts. |
| Discoveries | Prototype: 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 links each integrated faction family, native/borrowed effects, physical custody, private choices, payments and transport. CHOAM Collection trade and Emperor extra revival are connected; CHOAM inspection and Emperor purchase remain pending. A source audit or helper alone is not a completed effect. |
| Truthtrance | Spice facts, card counts, hand inventory, recorded knowledge, and Basic/no-Guild Advanced reserve-shipment promises use authoritative private state. Earlier readiness audits do not supersede these follow-ups. |
| Other cards | Sapho runtime includes first among remaining unstarted movement turns after Advanced Guild has finished. Recruits connects clean Revival play; Harass & Withdraw 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 | Saved rooms/seats, recovery, uncertain-request retry, own-seat AI, named-player AI permission and voluntary seat handover 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. 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, multiplayer audit, component inventory and visual playtest record their measured scope. README 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.
