Implements ground-game's ruling of 2026-08-03. make all exits 0, 26
scenarios, rule coverage 59/59, and no scenario encoded the bug.
The rule ended up somewhere other than where I put it, and a gate moved
it. It went into legal_commands first; the AM-1 coverage gate then
demanded a scenario for the new GR-P05, and scenarios drive validate, not
the offer layer. A rule enforced only by the offer is enforced only for
clients that ask what is legal -- the browser would be filtered and a
scenario file would walk straight past it. Once GR-P05 moved into
validate, every condition in legal_commands was dead code, and the
layering test said so in those words.
And the reported case was not the one I reported. CB-WP-0018 and the
message to ground-game described SOLVE offered on a FACE-DOWN Problem.
Measured: validate already rejected face-down, so it never was offered.
Problem 1 is the Surface Problem, face-up from the deal -- the
maintainer's three inert SOLVEs were the HAND case, holding no Clarify
for a Clarify Problem. The ruling covers both so nothing is invalidated,
but the record was wrong.
Four conditions asserted separately, because one 'SOLVE is filtered' test
would pass with three of four implemented.

ground-game ruled SOLVE's legality on 2026-08-03: not offered on a
face-down or Denied Problem, not offered without a matching Solution in
hand, and not offered on a Problem claimed in a prior round. The bluff
reading CB-WP-0018 raised is dead -- it was a filter bug, and the engine
has been offering an inert move since legal_commands was written.
Only SOLVE is ruled on, so only SOLVE is touched. Implementing more than
was ruled would be inventing rules, which is what this exchange exists
to stop.
Chaos d8=6, no override.
