Quintine cb691e1b14 Connect Sapho first and last battle-choice order
Juice of Sapho can change the remaining Battle-phase chooser order at clean boundaries. A chooser may occupy the physical defender slot and select the actual other combatant. Physical storm order, attackers, defenders and tie advantage remain intact. Full-roster phase priority survives aftermath, newly eligible Face Dancers and saved continuation. Controls and all four AI profiles consume the same projected choices.

Independent review verified private options, public geometry, exact physical disposal, rejected-action immutability, phase expiry and boundary-bound saved chooser integrity. Actual Basic/Advanced Face Dance regressions verify later replacement priority. Authenticated SQLite tests cover duplicate concurrent card requests, private restore and battle completion. Chooser/aggressor separation and phase duration remain explicit implementation interpretations; the separate aggressor mode and unresolved timing stay gated. Reinforcements remains disabled pending the documented reserve-cost question.

Types, lint, 4792 offline tests, build and 43 HTTP tests pass with unchanged source. Six fixed genuine Basic/Advanced faction samples finish in 3672 accepted actions and 97 periodic private JSON restores. They retain 82 rejected candidates at existing guarded arrival combinations; subsequent legal candidates finish. This is bounded playability evidence, not complete compliance or AI calibration.

The browser used Sapho first from a later physical circle, chose Emperor, sealed and resolved a battle, then refreshed into its next choice. Emperor retained the tie win. All 9 accepted actions replay exactly using the recorded random battle event; physical custody, all private JSON views and the original seat row pass. A private harness initially needed random-event replay binding and SQLite-row prototype normalization; no production fix or game reset was required.

After the reported outage, the server responded and the staged QA game restored exactly. All 970 opening games and their original seat/recovery records remain preserved (1004 after checks), including all 971 rooms present immediately before checks. SQLite integrity and foreign keys pass. No restart, database reset or recurring automation was needed.

Dune — Arrakis Table

An unofficial multiplayer adaptation of Gale Force Nine’s classic 2019 Dune, built with React, TypeScript, Vinext, and Cloudflare Workers/D1. Development is ongoing; this is not yet a complete rules implementation. Advanced and unfinished expansion starts remain disabled. Start with current status for implemented systems, remaining requirements and release gates; detailed historical evidence remains in the implementation log.

Run locally

Use Node.js 22.13 or newer and npm. Install the locked dependencies and apply local migrations before starting the server:

npm ci
npm run db:local
npm run dev -- --host 0.0.0.0

Open http://localhost:3000. Create a room, share its eight-character invitation, and add human or AI seats. The host can configure Easy, Medium, Hard and Brutal AI opponents. Current calibration demonstrates a substantially weaker Easy policy; it does not yet demonstrate a consistent ordering among the upper three levels.

Local games persist in .wrangler/state. Keep this directory across restarts. Apply new additive migrations before running code that depends on them. Never delete the local database to resolve a connection or rules problem. .openai/hosting.json belongs to the existing Sites project; do not recreate the hosting project.

Saved seats and reconnecting

The room cookie identifies your seat. Refreshing or reopening the invitation with that cookie restores your private hand and pending decisions. A failed restoration offers an explicit retry. Requests time out after 15 seconds; uncertain game actions are reconciled with a read rather than automatically repeated.

Use Protect your saved seat to generate and privately save a recovery kit before enabling its key. Keep the complete kit separate from the invitation. Recover a saved seat uses that kit to restore the same faction after cookie loss and revokes the previous browser sessions for that seat. Recovery keeps existing forces, resources and sealed commitments. Anyone holding the kit can control that seat and see its private information.

If recovery receives no confirmed response, keep the page open and retry the same recovery request. The server recognizes the receipt and does not rotate twice. Replacing the recovery key invalidates the older kit. Host-initiated takeover remains unfinished. An owning human seat can enable or disable its own AI control during a started game.

New create/join requests save a private, tab-scoped retry record before sending. If the response is uncertain, keep the tab open and use the explicit retry; refresh preserves the same request. Confirmed success removes that record. Clearly rejected first requests return to the form for correction. A retry can recover the original room and seat without creating duplicates, but closing the tab or clearing its data can lose the proof. This record is separate from the long-term seat recovery kit.

An uncertain saved-kit recovery keeps its exact retry details in memory and prevents conflicting navigation. If that recovery has become obsolete, deliberate abandonment releases the controls after explaining that it cannot undo a completed recovery. Keep a valid saved kit before discarding retry details.

Use Pass your seat to another player for a voluntary one-time transfer. The private offer lasts 24 hours; acceptance preserves progress and revokes the old owner’s sessions and recovery kits. The recipient uses Accept a seat handover on the home page, then creates their own recovery kit. Keep the tab open until acceptance is confirmed; exact private retry details survive refresh in that tab. See seat handover for cancellation, retry behavior and current limits.

Verify changes

Use the development guide for architecture, focused tests and the repeatable verification tools. Tests are discovered automatically; the default suite includes in-memory persistence recovery and needs no server:

npm test -- ecaz-collection ecaz-spice
npm run check
npm run build

Run npm run test:integration against a development server for HTTP/session changes. npm run test:multiplayer remains available for recovery plus HTTP checks; npm run test:recovery runs only in-memory persistence tests. All test commands accept filename fragments and --list after --.

The production build is written to dist. npm start runs that build with Wrangler; apply its database migrations to the intended storage environment before use. The included local migration command targets the development database, not a remote deployment.

Reproduce the current AI study with:

node --import tsx tools/ai-calibration.ts --games 120 --seed 20260907 --out /tmp/dune-ai-calibration.json

See AI calibration, multiplayer audit, component inventory, and visual playtest for scope and limitations. Passing subsystem tests does not certify every rules combination.

Development maintenance

The user-authorized 13 September 2026 local reset established a fresh saved-game baseline; see the reset record. Preserve all games created after that checkpoint.

Reuse the running development server. Restart only when a code or configuration change, or an observed server condition, makes leaving it running likely to cause issues; use judgment rather than an hourly schedule. Preserve database state, warn before interrupting human play, and defer until a safe decision point. Verify server health and restoration after a necessary restart. No recurring automation is installed; the user requested leaving it removed. Fix causes of crashes and lost progress rather than relying on restarts.

The application bundles its artwork, fonts and rules guidance. Source provenance and third-party notices live in developer documentation; the player-facing reference uses internal links. Publication remains gated on completion and integrated verification of the requested rules, expansions and critical player journeys.
