Some checks failed
ci / check (push) Failing after 4s
edition-check's freshness comparison — newly covering the sibling packages after CB-REV-0003 #3 — caught catalog.yaml and VARIANT.md moving upstream within hours of the H1 report landing. ground-game marked the variant status: measured, added a measurement_ref to their own report of it, and rewrote the baseline summary around our finding that ATTACK is the sole inbound pressure. The check earned itself on its first real use: before round 3 those two files were recorded and never compared, so this would have gone unnoticed and our vendored catalog would have quietly disagreed with theirs.

Hypothesis
If unsolved shared Problems raise Stress, and high-Stress ATTACK returns a small self-relief, then competent play will sometimes arm DARVO and sometimes select ATTACK, without making always-ATTACK optimal.
Deltas (only)
H1-A — Problem pressure
At Round End, before the Stress clamp that arms DARVO:
- If any Problem still in play is unclaimed (face-up unsolved, hidden, or Denied), each player +1 Stress.
- Then clamp 0–5, arm DARVO at 5 as in baseline, rotate Lead, advance Round.
H1-B — High-stress ATTACK self-soothe
When an Attack resolves and is not cancelled, if the attacker’s Stress was ≥ 4 before that Attack’s effects, the attacker takes −1 Stress (then clamp). Target and relation effects unchanged.
Table play
Use baseline components for everything except:
- Read End step and Stress/Attack wording from this package’s
Rules_Text.csv/Actions.csv(or this file). - Do not mix with baseline r0 wording mid-game.
Simulation (clay-borg)
- Select
variant_id: h1-problem-stressvia catalog. - Inherit base edition data for Problems/Solutions/Modes/Tokens.
- Implement
rules_delta.yamlin the kernel (H1-A, H1-B). CSV text is provenance for the table, not a substitute for kernel changes.
Decision criteria
See design note §3.2. Catalog utility_estimate / decision update only after measurement — not when packaging.
