Add an optional owner-controlled two-spice diversion from eligible single-payer ordinary auctions, Guild shipment income, Richese auction proceeds and actual bribes in the bounded base/CHOAM Leader Skills profile. Debit the payer once, credit the recipient once, retain bribes until Mentat Pause and restore the original response/auction/advisor callback. Decline preserves later phase opportunities; successful physical-card usage persists ownership changes. Keep qualifying allied funding and unfinished payment families explicitly guarded or outside the connected batch. Record source authority and the out-of-battle Karama composition and physical-card usage inferences; no public mode or publication gate opens. Connect readable owner controls and all four AI profiles using public payment/alliance information. Independent review found and fixed duplicate usage-event aliases and an overbroad guard on Bank-bound independent Karama shipments. Focused tests cover native/hidden/captured/dead eligibility, unchanged costs and card/force custody, normal and Richese auction callbacks, real Bene Gesserit advisor continuation, private views, JSON and production SQLite restore, stale/duplicate rejection and same-version competing writes. Validation: typecheck, lint, 4631 offline tests, production build and 43 HTTP tests passed with unchanged source. Four controlled-shuffle genuine-setup samples completed: base Basic 718 actions/20 restores, base Advanced 551/15, CHOAM Basic 681/19 and CHOAM Advanced 174/5. All had zero rejected candidates and preserved full physical Treachery, force and skill custody. None reached a Bureaucrat payment decision; these are regression-continuation samples, not natural full-game redirection acceptance. The separate conserved staged browser exercise allowed one five-spice bribe and redirected two from a second; the payer spent ten, the payee retained eight deferred spice, and one skill use was recorded. Pending and resolved states survived refresh with unchanged physical custody and private projection. After the reported outage, all 699 opening games and original seat/recovery records were preserved (733 after HTTP checks); database integrity and foreign keys passed. Reused the healthy server without restart, reset or recurring automation. Verified source tree: a30615deed306e06ab4c153b9a7eabdc92d646ed79474e348a3500d525bcb8c8

Current development status
Updated 14 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 verified checkpoint: 9f1f783, private Mentat question preview.
Types, lint, 4,605 offline tests, build and 43 HTTP tests passed.
All 665 opening rooms and original seat/recovery records were preserved
(699 after HTTP checks). The existing server was reused after the outage;
Ecaz, Ixian and Mentat browser seats restored their private state and decisions.
The only post-verification edit removed an extra newline in a developer document.
Mentat connects private naming/disclosure before posture and faction powers, all four AI profiles and saved continuation in explicitly opted-in previews. Two controlled-shuffle genuine-setup samples finish. Ordinary activation still awaits the uniform private response UX decision.
The current milestone connects Bureaucrat payments: ordinary auctions, shipment income, Richese sale proceeds and actual bribe transfers, with a once-per-phase optional redirection and preserved continuation. Qualifying allied funding, other payment families and combined-module acceptance stay explicit. Independent review and focused controls/AI/recovery checks pass. Four genuine-setup games finish without rejected candidates, but contain no payment choice; a separate staged browser exercise verifies both choices and refresh. All 699 opening rooms and original seat/recovery records survived the reported outage. The healthy server was reused. The completed checkpoint's Git record contains final broad verification and post-HTTP preservation totals.
Authoritative navigation
- Rules checklist, topic
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 and No-Field, Sandmaster routes, 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 is connected; its after-victory inspection remains pending. A source audit or helper alone is not a completed effect. |
| Truthtrance | Spice facts, card counts, hand inventory, 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. Richese card contracts and the checklist identify the other connected effects and explicit gaps. |
| Multiplayer | Saved rooms/seats, recovery, uncertain-request retry, own-seat AI, 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 | Legal continuation for every supported function and distinct Easy/Medium/Hard/Brutal strategy; consistent upper-level strength ordering remains unproven. Defer broad calibration until functional coverage warrants it. |
| 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, calibrate AI and polish. 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, and stop pursuit at 80% weekly usage consumed with the goal unfinished.
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.
