CB-WP-0038: variant selection, H1 implemented, and H1 measured
ground-game packages hypotheses as selectable rules variants — a catalog,
a rules_delta.yaml, and prose — and their note is explicit that CSV text
alone is not executable here. So the kernel gains a Variant in game state:
in the state, therefore in the hash, therefore in the recording, because a
scenario replayed under a different variant would diverge silently.

Baseline is bit-for-bit what it was, asserted across seat counts and
seeds. A variant system that perturbs the baseline invalidates every
measurement this repo has.

H1-A and H1-B implemented from rules_delta.yaml and mutation-proven on
their own defects: "unclaimed" misread as face-up-and-unsolved, and the
attacker's Stress read after the attack's effects. Their `unchanged:` list
is asserted rather than trusted — that list is their claim about their own
experiment.

Measured, and three of their four criteria fail. DARVO arm rate is still
0 under greedy; ATTACK selection does not rise and falls for the rank-75
policy; group success collapses from 165/190/200 to 0 at 3/4/6 seats.
The mechanism is not the assumed one: greedy answers the pressure by
regulating, Stress plateaus at 3, so it never reaches the gate at 4 or the
arm at 5 — H1-A acts as a solve-rate tax and H1-B is unreachable under
competent play.

A harness defect was caught before the claim: sweep discarded refused
games silently and never reported its count, so "nobody won" and "nothing
played" printed identically. Reporting H1 as unwinnable on that basis
would have been the ADR-0018 family aimed at another repo's design. All
200 games ran in every cell; the zeros are real.

Chaos d8 = 8 — the window's first override, redrew L against a structural
L, so it changed nothing. Window 3 recorded in ChaosRollHistory.

NOT REVIEWED: tier L owes a separate-agent adversarial review, and no H1
result may reach ground-game until it has run.

play:
--seed N game seed (default 1); the same seed replays identically
--players N 2..6 seats (default 3)
--seat N a seat you play, 0-based, repeatable (default 0)
--all-bots no human seats; watch a game play itself
--bot KIND policy for every other seat: greedy (default) or random
--replay DIR write a .cbreplay bundle of the finished game to DIR
--record FILE write the finished game as a scenario YAML
--trial FILE write a trial log: what the player said, bound to where
--variant V rules package: ground-darvo-r0 (default) or
h1-problem-stress (experimental; ground-game H1)
--pace P speed (default) or interactive: how much ornamentation
is performed. Never changes the game -- the recording is
byte-identical either way (specs/Ornamentation.md)
--mode M scoring mode: shared (GR-E02), common (GR-E03),
coalitions (GR-E04). Default shared.
--serve PORT play human seats in a browser on 127.0.0.1:PORT instead
of on the terminal; 0 lets the OS pick. Prints a URL
carrying a per-process token — without it the page is
refused (ADR-0007).
inspect a recorded game — a .cbreplay bundle directory or a scenario YAML:
--inspect PATH render the table after every recorded step
--as WHO whose projection to render: a 0-based seat, or
spectator (default). A seat sees only its own hand.
The two modes take disjoint flags: inspecting reads a recording, it does
not deal one, so a seed or a seat count would be silently ignored.
