Finish GROUND-WP-0002 rulings; hand off playtest residual as WP-0003
Record owner confirmations for SOLVE legality, U1–U10, the dataset contract, and provisional scenarios (void gr-e01). Spawn GROUND-WP-0003 for full-game playtests of semi-coop and coalitions.

### What was ruled, and what was not
|

### Dataset contract (confirmed 2026-08-03)
|
||||
|
||||
The headline is answered. The three sub-questions were not, and rather
|
||||
than block the import on them, these are the **proposed defaults**; each
|
||||
is cheap to overturn and none is load-bearing for a first import:

||||

|
||||
| question | ruling |

|

| authoritative vs presentational columns | **authoritative:** `problem_id`, `scenario_id`, `visibility`, `hidden_priority`, `required_solution`, `point_value`. **Presentational:** `title`, `problem_text`, `symbol_id`, `front_rules`, `reveal_effect`, `unresolved_effect`, `back_design_id` |
|

| may `point_value` / `required_solution` change within `r0`? | **no** — a change to either is a new revision |

| what a version bump looks like | the directory name: `ground-darvo-r0` → `-r1`. The engine pins a directory, so a bump is visible in a diff and never silent |
|
||||
|
||||
**The distinction that matters** is the second: the engine will hash game
|
||||
state, and a Problem's value and required suit are *in* that state. If
|
||||
they can change under a fixed revision name, every recorded scenario hash
|
||||
in clay-borg silently rots. That is why "no" is proposed rather than
|
||||
"probably not".
|
||||
|
||||
**Owed:** confirm or overturn the three rows above. Until then the engine
|
||||
imports under them and says so.
|
||||
**Rationale:** Problem value and required suit are *in* hashed game state.
|
||||
Silent in-revision edits would rot every recorded scenario hash in
|
||||
clay-borg.

|
||||
| **U3** | **Confirm** | DENY with no legal target is a no-op; sequence still advances. |
|
||||
| **U4** | **Confirm** | Deterministic reshuffle of discard into new deck; if both empty, skip the draw. |
|
||||
| **U5** | **Confirm** | GROUND—ND rejection cancels target effects (no Blame, no +1, no Protection) **and** owner still gets −2 Stress and the sequence ends. |
|
||||
| **U6** | **Confirm** | Pre-existing Bond Support (step 2) cancels that round's DARVO stage before it fires (step 3) and ends the sequence. |
|
||||
| **U7** | **Confirm** | No player elimination. |
|
||||
| **U8** | **Confirm** | When both GROUND—OU and Protection could cancel the same Attack: OU applies first; Protection is consumed only if it actually cancels. |
|
||||
| **U9** | **Confirm** | Two players at Stress 5 at the same End both trigger; later stages resolve in Lead order. No extra interaction rule. |

||||
