caught me repeating C1
specs/RetrospectiveAnalysis.md v1.0 plus games/ground/benches/search.rs,
which exists because ADR-0013 D7 refused to let the spec quote either
disputed figure.
THE BENCHMARK'S OWN FIRST FIXTURE WAS DEFECTIVE, and it is the same defect
class the review caught one layer up. Stopping at a fixed step 20 put 2p
and 4p in states where seat 0 had NO legal commands, so it timed an empty
Vec (~120 ns) and silently skipped validate_fold because there was nothing
to validate. It now advances until the seat has a real branch and ASSERTS
it. A clone benchmark was added too: a search must copy state per branch,
and iter_batched excludes setup from timing, so without it the budget
would again rest on an unmeasured span.
Measured at real decision points: legal_commands 4.06-4.76 us, clone
378-639 ns, validate+fold 0.5-3.8 us. Per-child cost is NOT uniform --
some commands resolve cascades -- so budgets use the upper end (~5
us/child).
That settles D3 with real numbers. Joint branching over the last two
rounds is ~5x10^2 / 1.6x10^5 / 5.7x10^5 at 2/3/4 seats, so K=2 costs
negligible / 0.8 s / 2.9 s and holds at two to four seats. It does NOT
hold at five or six, where the tool must reduce K and say that it did
rather than silently searching less.
§4.1 is a normative prohibition, not a preference: a single policy's win
rate MAY NOT be reported as a difficulty. The spec carries the measured
reason -- greedy 100% against first-legal 0% on identical deals -- because
this project already made that error and nearly exported it to a repo that
is blocked waiting on the number.
§2.3 makes the empty-result wording normative: "no winning line found in
the last K rounds", never "unwinnable". A bounded search cannot establish
unwinnability and that sentence is what a player who just lost reads.
Also corrected: the T01 completion record still asserted all three
withdrawn claims as fact. It now carries claimed / withdrawn / survives
explicitly rather than being rewritten -- a retraction that does not
propagate to every place the claim lives is how the earlier ones survived.
make all: exit 0. loop-lint clean.

A human seat is a Policy like any bot, so the CLI adds no second driver:
HumanPolicy renders the projection, lists the legal commands and reads an
index or `pass`. `make play` runs it; `--all-bots` watches one.
K13's Project trait gains its first implementor after six passes with
none. Hidden: other seats' face-down selections until Reveal, hands and
deck (counts only), a face-down Problem's suit and value, and the seed —
not secret content, but a seat holding it can compute the deck.
A played session becomes an artifact: --record writes it as a scenario
the runner executes, --replay writes a .cbreplay bundle. record.rs is the
inverse of parse_command and its warrant is a round-trip test over every
command shape.
The acceptance test for the projection passed vacuously twice. First it
asserted the text contained "face-down", which every render does because
of Problems. Counted, it then reported zero inspected entries: seats are
asked in order, so a human at P1 is prompted before anyone has selected.
Seated at P3 it inspects ten entries and dies when the projection is
mutated to reveal everything. Counting what the harness examined caught
both, which is the second time that remedy has worked where a stronger
predicate would not have.

Adopts both remediations from CB-EV-0001 §4 (maintainer decision).
Option A — serde_yaml is now optional behind cb-game-runtime's
`scenarios` feature. The scenario module, the ScenarioGame impl and the
string parsers behind it are cfg-gated; cb-sim opts in explicitly. Both
configurations compile and lint clean under -D warnings.
A trap worth recording: `default-features = false` on a *member*
dependency is silently ignored when the workspace dependency does not
specify it. The first attempt gated nothing while looking correct — the
build succeeded and cargo tree still showed all six YAML crates. Fixed
by setting it on the workspace dependency. This is the positive-control
failure mode in miniature: success was not evidence the change applied.
Retarget — AM-4 now measures third-party source under audit, split by
build configuration, replacing a crate count that was unreachable
without undoing K5/K7 and that does not compare across ecosystems.
Re-measured via the new `make dep-weight`, whose own positive control
refuses to report when any crate's source cannot be located:
shipped runtime 23 crates 246,250 lines target <=250,000 met
dev toolchain 29 crates 317,021 lines target <=350,000 met
own source 3,408 lines
Scenario tooling costs 70,771 lines a shipped game never compiles —
the split the single number was hiding.
Targets are set at current measurement plus headroom, so they bind on
future growth rather than retroactively passing what had failed.
