tegwick 4d3e30eda4 CB-WP-0028 T04-T07: a game you solve, rankings that cite their source, and
a feature deliberately not built

T04 BUILT NOTHING, WHICH IS THE CORRECT OUTCOME. "Click the draw stack to
get hand cards" is not a legal move: GroundCommand has no standalone draw,
and the edition's own INVESTIGATE text settles it -- "Choose one hidden,
non-Denied Problem and reveal it. THEN DRAW ONE SOLUTION." Drawing is a
consequence, never an action. Implementing click-to-draw would have
invented a rule, which is what CB-WP-0023 exists to stop.

And observation 5 is already true: drawing is ALREADY automatic, inside
INVESTIGATE, with no player input. An auto-draw option was asked for a
thing that has never been manual.

Both observations have one root cause and T02 fixed it. The maintainer
expected to take cards from the deck because NOTHING ON THE PAGE SAID HOW
DRAWING WORKS -- the INVESTIGATE card's own text was in a file we had not
imported. No finding raised: a player's instinct differing from a legible
rule is a comprehension gap, not a rules gap. Whether the instinct recurs
now that the text is present is a testable question and was not before.

T06: "game solved" on a win, "game over" on a loss, "the game stopped"
with no outcome. Asserted all three ways, because a test checking only the
win case passes for a page that always says solved. More than tone --
GROUND is co-operative and about repairing something, and arcade
failure-state vocabulary for a win tells a player the wrong thing about
what they just did.

T05: the ending page gets the table's two-column shape. Result left;
rankings, controls and the full log right. The seal still removes every
control wherever they now live.

T07's interesting decision was NOT TO RANK. Modes.csv defines
scoring_tiebreak per mode, so ordering is the GAME's where one exists --
"Lower combined Stress, then fewer Blame tokens" for coalitions. For
SHARED GROUND it says "Not applicable", because the table succeeds or
fails together. So co-op shows contributions and refuses to order them,
and says why. Drawing a leaderboard because a leaderboard is easy would
invent scoring the rules do not have. The one derived superlative is
labelled "clay-borg's reading, not a rule" and appears only where the mode
ranks; ties are shown as ties.

52 render tests pass. check clean, loop-lint clean.
