Let players compare normal, elite or total counters in reserves, the Tanks or one live board territory and sector. Reuse compound facts and private answers. Exclude concealed No-Field values and combat-strength modifiers; guard Basic factions without a tracked starred-counter split. Reparse saved fact questions before actions and projection, including nested leaves and dynamic locations. Preserve interrupted decisions, physical card disposal and historical answers after later legal movement. Connect controls, contextual guidance and the capability checklist while leaving full mode, combination and publication gates unchanged. Validation: types, lint, 5122 offline tests and production build passed. Independent review and 21 focused pure, engine, control and authenticated concurrent recovery tests passed. Six complete-game samples finished with 1551 legal actions, 39 JSON restores and no rejected actions. These are continuation checks, not AI strength calibration. Browser room 86WE6LXV exercised genuine setup, compound physical counts, AI response, mobile controls, human private-answer refresh and publication. Two existing Truthtrance Cards retired once each and forces stayed intact. All 1,584 prior rooms, 3,352 seats and auxiliary records remain unchanged; one QA room and human seat were added. No server restart or database reset. Existing screenshot capture failure leaves full visual acceptance open.

Truthtrance physical-force facts
Development prototype, 21 September 2026. Structured questions now compare the respondent's current physical counters in reserves, the Tanks or one exact board location. This extends the existing fact family; it does not complete arbitrary prose interpretation, future commitments or all Truthtrance interactions.
Source and semantics
The November 2020 GF9 FAQ p.8 permits game-related yes/no questions and AND/OR combinations. The existing nonbattle source audit identifies current force/reserve/Tank counts as answerable facts. This prototype uses the same current-custody distinction as personal spice facts. No new faction advantage, hidden-information disclosure or future promise is inferred.
Each physical counter counts once. total includes the elite subset; normal
subtracts it, and elite counts that subset directly. Combat strength, support,
Suboid/Cyborg multipliers and other temporary bonuses do not change these values.
Advisors are physical counters and are included without a separate fighting-state
question. A concealed No-Field is a separate marker; neither its presence nor
its private denomination adds physical counters at the queried location.
Reserves includes the native Homeworld breakdown already represented by the player's aggregate reserve pool. The Tanks is a separate pool. Board questions select an exact territory and sector, including an available HMS interior or revealed Discovery location. They do not aggregate a whole multi-sector territory or query individual Homeworld populations; those question forms remain separate work. Changing the HMS pointer does not move the counters inside to the outside territory.
Basic special-force factions may lack a tracked normal/starred split. Their aggregate total is answerable; typed comparisons are unavailable rather than inventing a distribution. Ordinary factions without special counters have zero elite counters. The same public guard feeds parsing and controls.
Connected flow and saved behavior
Choose Current physical forces, then the pool, optional board location, counter type, comparison and nonnegative whole threshold. Combine this clause with another supported fact using AND or OR. The preview names the exact scope; invalid values or unavailable typed splits disable submission with an explanation.
The authoritative answer uses custody at the answer action. Only the respondent receives the private expected answer; the final response discloses the aggregate Yes/No result, without identifying which compound clause matched. Existing legal AI response paths consume that same private projection. No strategy tuning is added.
New saved fact questions are reparsed before actions and view projection. A malformed threshold, counter, location or nested clause cannot silently become a different question after restoration. Historical answers remain observations: later legal revival or movement does not rewrite them or violate a commitment. The original interrupted decision resumes after mandatory Truthtrance disposal.
Verification
npm test -- truthtrance-force
npm test -- truthtrance
Pure comparisons, genuine setup and conserved game scenarios, component validation, all four legal AI answer paths, malformed saved questions and authenticated concurrent recovery cover this boundary. Private source-bound checkpoint reports record final broad checks, browser and preservation results. Full mode, combination and visual acceptance remain open.
The browser check used genuine Basic Atreides/Emperor setup and relocated only the two existing Truthtrance Cards for focused testing; forces stayed unchanged. A negative count disabled submission. A mobile compound question compared twenty Emperor reserves and zero counters in Carthag sector 11, received the AI's Yes and resumed Storm after one discard. A separately staged real question asked the human about ten normal counters in Arrakeen sector 10. Its pending private answer survived refresh with the saved row unchanged, then published Yes and retired the second card once. The 390-pixel layout had no horizontal overflow. Existing screenshot capture failures leave full visual acceptance open.
