T01. The maintainer asked why the button says "I need to read this" and
why nothing closes. Two defects behind one control: the label described a
reading while the control STOPS THE SERVER (hotseat.rs reads `done` and
breaks its loop), and acknowledging it changed nothing on screen -- the
tab kept a live table and a `play again` pointing at a closed port.
Label is now "end session -- stops the game server". The reply says the
session has ended and the tab can be closed. The script seals the page on
a `closed` reply: removeAttribute('data-drop') on every control, so they
stop being droppable by the same rule that made them droppable. CSS is how
that reads, not the mechanism. removeAttribute rather than
setAttribute(_, null) -- the latter writes the truthy string "null" in a
browser, so the control would stay live while the stub called it sealed.
THE REPLY PATH HAD NEVER BEEN EXECUTABLE IN A TEST. jsrun's fetch stub
returned {then: function(){return this}}, which never invoked its
callbacks, so every line of the script reacting to the server was
unreachable from every test in this project. That is why the defect
survived: a page ignoring the server looked identical to one acting on it.
The stub now delivers a real then-chain and gesture_with_reply reports
which controls survive. The seal is mutation-proven -- deleting the
`closed` branch turns exactly one test red -- and a negative control
asserts an `ok: dealing` reply does NOT seal, since a seal that fired on
every reply would pass the first test and break `play again`.
T02. Draw and discard drawn as offset stacks with their counts. The
shuffle question the task required answering is settled and the answer is
that it already works: games/ground/src/lib.rs:1419-1435 implements the U4
default -- deterministic reshuffle of the discard seeded from seed ^ round,
skip the draw if both are empty -- and ground-game CONFIRMED U4 on
2026-08-03. A ruled rule, not an invented one, nothing to raise. The event
already reads out in the log; what the piles add is the state before it
fires, which is derivable from the view. A claim that a reshuffle HAS
happened would not be, and is not made.
The coverage gate caught its own probe going stale when the "17 remaining"
text was replaced. The count now lives in the pile's <title> -- a stable
probe and what a screen reader announces, where the on-canvas numeral
could be any number on the page.
39 tests pass; cb-play 22 including play_again_deals_a_second_game.

Six of seven perceptual defects fixed; item 1 already passed.
T01, at the maintainer's instruction: a legal target restyles its
EXISTING border rather than drawing a new box. outline + outline-offset
drew a second rectangle, which an SVG viewport clips (the missing top and
left edges) and which made a seat's highlight card-sized. A border
already in the layout cannot move the layout.
T02: the ghost was a textContent copy of the card, which is why the line
break collapsed and it read as a second card, and why showing the
explanation destroyed the label. It is now a pill, the explanation is
appended beside the label, and the left-behind element is dimmed and
dashed. The stub grew innerHTML so a test can assert BOTH are present --
it could previously only see that something was displayed.
T03: NOT reproduced and recorded as not reproduced. The likeliest cause
is which element the browser reports -- for touch and pen the pointer is
captured to the pointerdown target, making every drop look like a
drop-on-itself, which is the other half of the report. elementFromPoint
is correct under both explanations. Separately the refusal was written in
element ids on the one surface a player reads when something goes wrong;
it now speaks the game's words and a test forbids id leakage.
T04: seat selections rendered as Debug. The coverage gate then failed my
first fix for dropping a field when target and problem were both set --
the aggregate does not produce that shape and the gate was right not to
care.
T05: the headline reads from group_success. 'Play again' is real, and its
first version was useless: run_game bound a fresh listener per game, so a
second game moved to a new port and left the tab pointing at a dead one.
One listener per session now, and the test asserts the second game is a
DIFFERENT deal.
Chaos d8=8 fired the first override at the new rate and drew S, changing
nothing -- one half of window 2's retirement condition.
CB-WP-0019 settled at $38.54/117 against $34.80/107. Eight for eight,
and the first under 20%.

bot::Journal -- a shared list of Applied { actor, command, events } the
driver appends to via play_journaled; play delegates with None so
nothing existing changed. BotGame.events only appears after play
returns, which is no use to a page rendered mid-game.
Phrased with record::to_step, the recorder's vocabulary, so what the
player reads is what the scenario file will say, and all 29 GroundEvent
variants now render in words instead of Debug.
A command that produced no events says 'no effect'; the mutation
dropping that branch goes red. Honest limitation recorded: the reported
SOLVE case is resolved inside the system's resolve command, which does
produce events for other seats, so it shows as a selection with no claim
following rather than an explicit 'no effect'. Making it explicit would
mean the renderer deciding why a rule did nothing -- a second
implementation of the rules, which this task's control forbids.

Provenance (tier M, structural S, chaos d4=4 -> OVERRIDE drawn M):
the maintainer could drag after CB-WP-0016 but could not tell what was
pickable, held, or droppable. Underneath that, the page was WRONG about
which moves exist: 9 legal commands rendered as 5 cards each claiming
all three target kinds, from a const string in the emitter. Investigate
is legal on problems 2 and 3 but not 1; Solve on 1 but not 2 or 3. The
live page now says 'Solve onto problem 1'.
ADR-0010 restates control 5, which this work would otherwise have
outgrown in silence: every game fact the page acts on must arrive from
Rust as data; the script may read, match and render it, never compute,
infer, filter or default one. The survey's real finding is that the
permitted and forbidden designs are indistinguishable from outside, so
the vocabulary grep is demoted to a cheap first line and two behavioural
properties become the controls -- the highlighted set EQUALS the set
Rust emitted, and anything the page marks legal must resolve. Both
mutation-proven; the derive-legality mutation produces a plausible
highlight (seat-0,1,2 where only seat-1 is legal) and is caught.
Visible now: .pick resting shadow, .held on the grabbed element, .dropok
on every legal target including BOTH drawings of a seat, and a ghost
following the pointer. Nothing perceptual is verified and ADR-0010 D5
says so.
The DOM stub now models classList/querySelectorAll/createElement and
builds its node set from the real emitted page. Trap recorded: QuickJS
fixes its stack limit at Context creation relative to that frame, so a
helper returning a Context makes every later eval report
'SyntaxError: stack overflow'.
CHAOS WINDOW CLOSED, 12 declarations, 2 overrides, one each way. Both
changed the outcome, so the retirement condition is not met. Verdict:
keep, and recommend d4 -> d8 with a second window of 12 -- that is a
change to the loop's own constraints and is owed to the next declaration
as tier-M work, not made here.
CB-EV-0014 corrected: it quoted CB-WP-0015 at $15.14/136 and called it
the first settled figure quoted. Now $22.70/166. The number had been
read during CB-WP-0015 itself, so there are two defects -- the boundary,
and quoting from memory instead of re-running the instrument.

Provenance (tier S, one paragraph in lieu of survey and ADR): the human
check that kept INTENT stage 1 open was run and the drag was broken.
Root cause, worth more than the instance: drop targets were ids, and an
id must be unique, so exactly one element could ever be seat-0. The
relationship-graph circle took it and the seat card that every action
card's own text points at -- 'drag Attack onto a seat' -- silently had
none. A seat is drawn twice and both drawings are the seat; the document
model could not express that.
Drop keys are now data-drop. Any number of elements may carry the same
key, so a seat is droppable on its card and on its graph node. Measured
on a live server: seat-0/1/2 each appear twice, id survives only on
cb-status which is the one element the script looks up, and
down=action-attack&up=seat-1 returns ok.
Second defect: a drop on nothing returned without posting and without
touching the status line, so a broken target was indistinguishable from
a working page. resolve already refuses rather than defaulting, which is
right; refusing SILENTLY is not. The page now reports the raw fact --
'took action-attack, let go over nothing droppable' -- which names
elements, not moves, so ADR-0007 control 5 holds.
And the honest part: the general check added here -- every offered
affordance names a key that exists, driven through Policy::choose over
four real bot games -- does NOT catch the reported defect. seat-0 did
exist, on the graph circle. It is kept because a wholly absent target is
a real class, and paired with a targeted regression test that does catch
it. Three mutations, each red for its stated reason, including the
reported defect reintroduced; only the targeted test fires on that one.
A cb-play assertion matched id="action-ground" as a substring while
describing itself as checking the page; rewritten through drop_keys.
make all exits 0. Stage 1 stays open: verified by tests, mutation and a
live server, not by a human dragging.

ADR-0009: embed quick-js; node is refused. Measured marginal cost against
the dev-toolchain graph, under the positive control:
boa_engine 896,410
rquickjs 69,985
quick-js 11,434
node 0 <- and that zero is the problem
ADR-0007 D3's acquisition rule biting its author. CI runs on rust:1.97,
which has no node, so the test would make our build fetch a JS runtime of
tens of millions of unaudited lines while scoring zero on the only
instrument that governs dependencies. A browser is exempt because a
developer has one regardless of us; a CI-installed runtime is not.
The loop is now closed: the real server serves the real page, QuickJS
runs that page's own scripts, the gesture goes over a real socket, and
the seat's Choice comes back. Before this, every link was tested and the
chain was not — a page whose JavaScript sent something else entirely
would have passed everything.
Three controls, each red for its stated reason: the JS posting a command
name instead of ids, the gesture not being delivered (EXPECT-VACUOUS),
and the token stripped from the endpoint.
A wrong assertion worth keeping: the first draft required the body not to
contain "attack". It legitimately does — action-attack is the id of an
element a finger landed on. An element may name an action; that is not
the page deciding. The real test is the shape: exactly two fields, down
and up, carrying two ids and nothing derived from them.
AND the ADR's own cost argument was wrong. It claimed 35% of AM-4b's
headroom; after landing AM-4b did not move at all. It measures
games-ground --edges normal — one package, no dev edges. Measured, the
workspace including dev edges is 725,258 lines against AM-4b's 317,021:
408,237 uncounted, MORE THAN THE TARGET ITSELF (criterion, clap,
ciborium, quick-js). The decision stands on the acquisition rule; the
affordability argument is withdrawn. Third defect in the AM-4 family.
Also fixed structurally rather than by raising a limit: `make status` had
grown past its 40-line readability gate as workplans accumulated. Closed
workplans now collapse to one line, so the report is fixed-size.

Delivers ADR-0007 Decision 1: visualization, drag-to-propose and hot-seat
play, at a measured marginal AM-4a cost of zero.
games-ground shipped: 23 third-party crates
cb-render-html: 23 third-party crates
new crates introduced: 0
Measured, not asserted — the survey's own lesson. AM-4a is unmoved at
246,250; own source is 7,636 -> 9,652.
What shipped:
crates/cb-render-html doc.rs (HTML/SVG emission, incl. the relationship
graph), input.rs (pointer facts -> commands),
serve.rs (Guard, Request, loopback bind)
tools/cb-play hotseat.rs + `--serve PORT`
Per ADR-0007 Decision 2 there is NO cb-render-api and NO cb-render-null.
The renderer targets the existing Project trait; the port waits for
stage 2's wgpu implementation to be its second use.
The six controls, all live, all mutation-checked (8 mutations, each red
for its stated reason):
1-3 token / Origin+Sec-Fetch-Site / explicit 127.0.0.1 bind
4 a token-less request is refused, in the unit AND over a real socket
5 JS may not construct commands — the page reports pointer facts, Rust
resolves them against the legal list the aggregate already offered,
and a test asserts the emitted script contains no game vocabulary
6 the coverage gate crosses the language boundary: it walks the
serialized view for leaf paths and requires each token to appear in
the PARSED emitted document, with a test that the parse really is a
parse (script/style contents must not count as rendered)
The gate fired on its author again, on its first run: ground_choices.*.
choice, ground_choices.*.problem and players.*.blame_from were in neither
list. The last is the one worth keeping — an EMPTY vector is a leaf path
of its own, and it now renders as an explicit absence.
Also, a mutation that did not go red: removing the Sec-Fetch-Site arm
alone left the cross-site test green, because the Origin check caught it
independently. Both had to be removed before the control bit. Recorded
because a control that passes for a reason you did not intend has not
been demonstrated.
