v0.6.2 — an Extra starts where you put it, a train card is never discarded

Three more from the v0.4.9e gameplay-testing round, filed as Gitea issues, plus two bugs found underneath them. Gitea#2 is diagnosed but NOT fixed: it needs a ruling, and the reasoning is in TODO.md under Play Balance. GITEA#4 — AN EXTRA STARTS WHERE THE PLAYER PUTS IT. Only one Division Point was ever offered, chosen by number parity. The number no longer decides an Extra's direction — the start does, which supersedes the recorded ruling that "the number decides, like everything else on the timetable". The two cannot both hold: an odd, westbound Extra placed at the WEST end would leave the Division on its first move having crossed nothing, and be paid for the run. Either end now runs the train away from itself; at an Interchange or a Control Point the player picks the direction. The Interchange start is a YARD, off the running line, which is what makes the Superintendent clause work: placing it can never force a collision, a guaranteed one holds it there for another Stage, and a potential one is the Superintendent's to rule on — exactly evaluateClearance's `blocked` and `ask`, so nothing new decides collisions. Where an Extra may start is now a house rule (divisionPointsOnly / ownOffice / anyOffice, defaulting to what the engine already did). The legacy `atSeat` intent field still replays as it always meant. FOUND UNDERNEATH IT: an Extra started away from a Division Point ran empty. isBeingMadeUp tested position alone, so the Control Point start has been shipping since it was added with a train that could never be given a consist. Found by playing it, not by the tests, which had only asserted where the tray landed. FOUND UNDERNEATH IT: collide left the wrecks on the card. Destroyed trains kept their Transit entries, and evaluateClearance counts every transit as an occupant, so one rear-end collision permanently poisoned that Mainline card for every later train. THE MAINLINE CARDS WERE ROLLED, NOT DEALT — drawn from the nine types with replacement, so a Division could hold two Interchanges and Plains carried the weight of a card printed once. "An Extra may start at the Interchange if one is on the board" only reads as a rule if the board holds at most one. Now dealt from the printed deck without replacement, verified over 1600 deals. This re-deals every seed: the published replays were re-recorded, and the saved games in docs/ are retired too — two of those were already dead before this release and nobody had noticed. GITEA#6 — A TRAIN CARD IS NEVER DISCARDED, Timetabled and Extra alike. The forced play needed no mechanism: nothing discardable plus a hand over the limit leaves exactly one legal way to end the turn, and playing a train is unconditionally legal, so the corner cannot trap anyone. The bot needed no rule either. 400/400 games finished, revenue unmoved, trains scheduled 1.2 -> 1.3. The player is told on the card and on the button. GITEA#7 — COACH COUNTS. 1/2 Crack Limited 3 -> 2, 5/6 The Sparrow 2 -> 3. A change to the cards, so Trains3.pdf and the transcription keep the original numbers with a footnote while content.ts and the Home Deck reference carry what the game plays. CONTENT.TS COMMENT PASS — no data changed, only comments. Four were factually wrong, including an office table naming counts doubled long ago and a pointer to a DEALT_DECK_SIZE that has never existed. Every Enhancement row cited its implementation by line number and every citation had rotted; they name functions now. Card counts came out of the comments, since they move with play balance; source-sheet figures and dated measurements stayed. TODO.md gains an item for a card reference generated from content.ts, in six sections, so the documentation cannot disagree with the game. 715 tests pass, tsc clean, site builds.

 ## 0.6.2 — 2026-08-22
 Three more from the v0.4.9e gameplay-testing round, now filed as Gitea issues: **#4** extras did not
 start where the player said, **#6** train cards could be discarded, **#7** four train cards had the
 wrong coach counts. Two further bugs were found underneath #4 and are fixed with it. **Gitea#2 is
 diagnosed but NOT fixed** — it needs a ruling, and the reasoning is in `TODO.md` under Play Balance.
 The same change ships as **0.4.9f** on the 0.4.9 line.
 ### Gitea#4 — an Extra starts where the player puts it
 **REPORTED:** "When extras are played the player doing so may choose where the extra starts. They may
 choose either division point. And if the interchange mainline card has been played, they may start
 the extra on that card and choose the direction from there. If there is potential for conflict with
 other trains in that area the superintendent may hold the extra."
 Only one Division Point was ever offered, chosen by the train's number parity, plus any Control Point.
 Confirmed against a live game before touching anything: a pending X17 offered exactly one placement.
 **The number no longer decides an Extra's direction — the START does.** This supersedes a ruling
 recorded in `content.ts` ("the number decides, like everything else on the timetable") and the two
 cannot both hold: an odd, westbound Extra placed at the WEST end would leave the Division on its
 first move having crossed nothing, and be paid the completion Revenue for the run. A Division Point
 now runs the train away from itself; at an Interchange or a Control Point, where both ways are real
 runs, the player says which. Timetabled trains are unchanged. The Extra cards were always printed
 `direction: 'playerChoice'` and the engine had been overriding it; they now mean it.
 **The Interchange start is a YARD, not a spot on the running line.** This is what makes §7's last
 clause work. An Extra started there stands in the card's yard, off the road, and highballs onto the
 card itself at a later Mainline Phase. Three things follow, all of them Jesse's rule: placing it can
 never force a collision however busy the card is; a guaranteed collision holds it in the yard for
 another Stage and it tries again; a potential collision is the Superintendent's to rule on. Those last
 two are exactly `evaluateClearance`'s `blocked` and `ask`, so the Extra leaves the yard through the
 same §8.1 check a train leaves a Division Point through — **nothing new decides collisions.**
 **Where an Extra may start is now a setting** (`extraStart`), because the Division Points and the
 Interchange belong to nobody and a player's own district does not: `divisionPointsOnly` /
 `ownOffice` / `anyOffice`, in the New Game dialog, defaulting to `anyOffice` — what the engine did
 before the setting existed, so the 0.4.9 playtest line does not change under its testers mid-release.
 A Whistle Post never qualifies at any setting.
 `atSeat` on the intent is kept as a legacy field: absent `start`, it replays exactly as it always
 meant, so a save written before the choice existed is unaffected.
 ### Found underneath #4: an Extra started away from a Division Point ran empty
 `isBeingMadeUp` tested the position alone — "standing at a Division Point" — which was the whole
 truth while that was the only place to build a train. **The Control Point start has therefore been
 shipping since it was added with a train that could never be given a consist**, and the Interchange
 start would have shipped the same way, against a report that says an Extra started there "would be
 Loaded with cars". A `beingMadeUp` flag now marks exactly those trays and is cleared the moment the
 train starts running, rather than a second positional rule — a train that ARRIVED at an Office must
 never be fillable from the Division Yard, which is the bug `isBeingMadeUp` was tightened to kill.
 **Found by playing it, not by the tests**, which had only ever asserted where the tray landed.
 ### Found underneath #4: a collision left the wreck on the card
 `collide` deleted the trains from `s.trays` and left their `Transit` entries sitting on the Mainline
 card they died on. `evaluateClearance` counts every transit as an occupant, so **one rear-end
 collision permanently poisoned that card**: every later train was either held against a ghost or put
 to the Superintendent about one. The only other place a transit is removed is a train rolling off the
 far end, which a destroyed train never does. Found because the Interchange highball clears through
 that same occupant list.
 ### The Mainline cards were rolled, not dealt
 `buildDivision` drew uniformly from the nine card TYPES **with replacement**, so a Division could be
 dealt two Interchanges or two Tunnels, and Plains — printed twice in the deck — carried the same
 weight as cards printed once. `docs/StationMaster-Mainline-Deck-v0.4.5.md` had flagged the mismatch
 as needing correction; "an Extra may start at the Interchange if one is on the board" is what forced
 it, since that only reads as a rule if the board holds at most one. Now dealt from `MAINLINE_DECK`
 without replacement, verified over 1600 deals across 1–4 players.
 **This re-deals every seed**, which retired the published replays (re-recorded) — and also, noticed
 only after the fact, the saved games in `docs/`. Jesse's Gitea#2 repro now replays 250 of 323 intents
 instead of reaching the reported position. Two saves there (`seed493290760-day2`, `seed58228926-day6`)
 were already dead at 2 intents before any of this, retired by some earlier change and never noticed,
 because the replay-fidelity test guards `public/replays` and nothing else.
 ### Gitea#6 — a train card is never discarded
 **REPORTED:** "Players are not allowed to discard Train cards. They may keep the card in their hand
 for multiple stages and even multiple days, but they may not discard it. If a player has three train
 cards in their hand, and they draw a fourth, then they must play one of those cards." Extras count.
 The interesting property is that **the forced play needed no mechanism**. A train cannot be discarded,
 and `draw.end` already refuses while the hand is over the limit, so a player holding four trains has
 exactly one legal way to conclude the turn without anything ever computing "you must play a train".
 The corner cannot trap anyone: playing a train card is unconditionally legal — `card.play`'s train
 case refuses only a board placement, and a card played into a full timetable still leaves the hand.
 Confirmed in a running game: a hand of four trains offers zero discards, no `draw.end`, four plays.
 The bot needed no rule either. `legal.ts` filters candidates through `check`, so the option stopped
 being offered, and the developer bot already reaches for `card.play` before a discard. Over 400 games:
 400/400 finished, revenue unmoved, **trains scheduled 1.2 → 1.3** — the rule's intended effect.
 **The player is told, on the card and on the button.** `handDiscardable` on the Frame marks what may
 be shed; the hand panel says so in the train's own tooltip, and when every card held is a train the
 blocked end-turn button changes its text. That is the Gitea#2 lesson applied early: a rule the player
 cannot see is a board with nothing to click and no reason given.
 ### Gitea#7 — coach counts on four train cards
 **1/2 Crack Limited 3 coaches → 2. 5/6 The Sparrow 2 → 3.** A change to the cards, not a
 transcription fix, so `Trains3.pdf` and the transcription in `implications.md` §5 keep the original
 numbers with a footnote; `content.ts` and `StationMaster-Home-Deck-v0.4.5.md` carry what the game
 plays. Both consists remain inside the four-car Crew Tray limit.
 A test had to follow: `multiplayer.test.ts` used Train 1 *because* it had three cars, to exercise a
 placement round that wraps at two players. It now uses Train 5, which has the three coaches.
 ### The `content.ts` comment pass
 Asked for after #7 raised "where do we actually keep track of train cards?" — the answer being five
 documents of three vintages. **No data changed; only comments.** Four were factually wrong:
 - `// Offices — Depot 4, Station 2, Terminal 1` — the real copies are 8/4/2, doubled by Q12 long ago.
 - A doc pointed at **`DEALT_DECK_SIZE`, which has never existed**; the symbol is `SOLITAIRE_DECK_SIZE`,
  defined eight lines below the comment that could not name it.
 - "the ten Mainline card types" — there are nine kinds; ten only holds if both Division Points count
  as one.
 - "the developer bot averages 7.0 Revenue against a target of 20", in the present tense. 7.0 was
  measured while `trainPerTransit` still defaulted to 1, and the next paragraph explains that setting
  was defaulted to 0 for being worth ~5.4 of it. Re-measured over 400 games at current defaults: about
  **zero**. Replaced with an instruction to run the harness rather than trust a number in a comment.
 **And every Enhancement row cited its implementation as `file.ts:NNN`, and every citation had
 rotted** — `apply.ts:405` for Small Yard was pointing ~440 lines short, stale long before this
 release. All eight now name functions, which do not move, with a note never to cite a line number
 there. Swept `src/`: no others remain.
 **Card counts came out of the comments**, Jesse's call — they move with play balance, so a comment
 that prints one is stale at the next retune. Kept: figures attributed to the recovered source sheet
 (a fixed document, and the audit trail for the transcription) and dated experimental findings.
 ### Documentation queued, not built
 `TODO.md` gains an item for a card reference **generated from `content.ts`** so it cannot disagree
 with the game, in six sections — Mainline, then Home Deck Trains / Track / Industry / Modifiers /
 PVP. Each card wants its name, effect, placement, and the part only the implementation knows: whether
 its printed effect resolves yet. Deliberately no card counts. `enhancementText()` and
 `mainlineDescription()` are the model.
 ### Not in this release
 **Gitea#2** — the Sparrow arrives with two loaded coaches, two passengers wait, four porters stand
 idle, and only one action can be taken. Reproduced and diagnosed: the engine is faithful to §9.2 and
 §2.2 at every step, but both directions of porter work move coaches one-way into a Classification
 Yard that returns only when the Division Yard is bare of all ~60 cars. Three ways out are written up
 in `TODO.md`; the choice is Jesse's. The unambiguous half — `impediments()` skips passenger
 facilities entirely, so a blocked platform gives the player no reason at all — is also still open.

 24. **Put the viewer's own district at the BOTTOM of the Division map** and wrap the table around

    stops starting where you start reading.

 ## Replay / Save Games
 The replay viewer, the save format, and how a game gets shared.
 - [ ] **INVESTIGATE: stamp the history with wall-clock time.** Raised by Jesse 2026-08-22: "store a
      date/time stamp with the history information. Even if it's not displayed immediately, someone
      could tell afterwards, or later if we decide to display it — how long things took between
      different turns and actions."
      **Half of this is already built and nothing reads it.** `server/session.ts` closes a
      `TurnTiming { player, phase, day, stage, startedAt, endedAt }` every time the acting player,
      phase, Day or Stage changes, and `persistence.appendTiming` writes each one to the game's
      timings file. So every multiplayer game on the box already has per-turn wall-clock on disk.
      Nothing displays it, and nothing has ever read it back. **First job is to look at that file
      from a real game** — the answer to "how long do turns take" may be sitting there already.
      **Solitaire has none of it.** `game.log` is `{ text, tone }[]` and a save is
      `{ seed, config, history }`. There is no clock anywhere on that path.
      **The constraint, and it is deliberate rather than an oversight** (stated twice in
      `server/session.ts`): wall-clock is kept OUT of `history` because a replay must reproduce a game
      from decisions alone. Do not put a timestamp on an `Intent`. It would ride into every save,
      change the save format, and make two recordings of the same game unequal for no gain — the
      engine has no clock and must stay deterministic.
      **And a timestamp on a log LINE does not survive.** `game.log` is rebuilt by `fromSave` on
      undo, on restore and in the replay viewer, so a time recorded on a line is gone the first time
      the player takes a move back. Whatever is built has to be a SIDECAR — times keyed by intent
      index, written only on the live path — and every consumer has to handle its absence, because a
      replayed or imported game legitimately has no clock at all. That absence is the honest answer,
      not a hole to fill with `createdAt` (the same call `lastMoveAt` already makes, and for the same
      reason).
      **The open question is granularity**, and it is Jesse's to settle: per INTENT (every draw,
      every Move — finest, biggest sidecar, and the only thing that answers "how long between
      actions") or per TURN SPAN (what already exists, one row per player-phase, and enough for "how
      long between turns"). Per span is free today; per intent is new work on both the solitaire and
      the multiplayer paths.
      **What it would feed if built:** the "Games in Progress" admin view (item 7 above, which already
      shows `lastMoveAt`), a post-game "that Day took 40 minutes" summary, and any future pacing
      question about whether a 12-Stage Day is too long at a real table — which is the sort of thing
      only a table can tell us and only a clock can record.

 - [ ] **Gitea#2 — passenger operations starve themselves of coaches, and the game says nothing.**
      Reported from v0.4.9e play: the Sparrow pulls into the Terminal with two loaded coaches, two
      passengers wait on the platform, four porters are unused, and only ONE of the four intended
      actions can be taken. Reproduced from the save (`docs/station-master-seed947338225-day5(1).json`,
      Day 5 Stage 11): the Division Yard holds **1 empty coach and 0 loaded**, while the
      Classification Yard holds **4 loaded and 4 empty** that cannot come back.
      **The engine is not deviating from the rules.** Checked step by step: §9.2 discards the white
      coach into the Classification Yard on boarding, draws the white coach from the Division Yard on
      de-training, and §2.2 returns the Classification Yard only when the Division Yard is empty. All
      three are implemented exactly. The problem is the interaction — a single global refill
      condition over a pile holding six commodities with very different demand, where coaches (16 of
      ~60 cars) are consumed by both halves of every passenger cycle. Traced over the reported game
      the coach pool goes 8+/8− to 0+/1− by Day 5.
      **Three ways out, and it is Jesse's call which:** (a) refill when the Division Yard is dry of
      the type-and-state being asked for rather than dry of everything — the reading a player
      rummaging a table-top pile actually uses, and the biggest balance change; (b) the same trigger
      but return only the cars of that type; (c) leave the rules alone and raise the coach count in
      `ROLLING_STOCK_SUPPLY`, which the item below already sanctions — lowest risk, but it delays the
      wall rather than removing it. Measure (a) or (b) over 400 paired seeds before shipping.
 - [ ] **A blocked PASSENGER facility produces no impediment at all.** `impediments()`
      (`src/sim/narrate.ts`) opens with `if (!f || f.kind !== 'freight') continue`, so the "why
      nothing is moving" panel has never had anything to say about a platform. That is the second
      half of Gitea#2 and the half that is unambiguously a bug: the player above was not merely
      blocked, he was given no reason — the button simply was not there. Worth fixing whichever way
      the supply question is settled.

 - [ ] **I CANNOT SEE WHAT THE OTHER PLAYERS DID — BOTS INCLUDED.** Raised by Jesse 2026-08-22 from
      playing a multiplayer game on StartOS: "on my display I need to see other players' moves, even
      if they are a bot."
      **What the code already does**, checked rather than assumed: `game.log` is ONE shared log and
      `linesSince(seat)` (`server/session.ts`) sends every seat everything in it, so a bot's turn is
      not silently dropped — `driveBots` plays through `submit()`, which calls `record(game, events,
      actor)`, and `record` prefixes any event carrying a `player` with "Player <name>". So the moves
      *are* arriving, attributed, in the history panel. Whatever is wrong is not that they were never
      sent, and that is worth knowing before anything is built.
      **What is genuinely missing is the BOARD.** `snapshot(s, …, viewer)` builds `cells` from
      `areaOf(s, viewer)` alone, so a Frame contains the viewer's own Office Area and nobody else's.
      Another player can move a train the length of their district and the only trace on your screen
      is a line of text. The Division map is the one shared picture, and it shows trains on the
      Mainline, not switching inside a district.
      **Not yet established: which of the two Jesse means.** "I need to see other players' moves" fits
      both "the history panel is not telling me" (a legibility problem — the panel scrolls, a bot can
      take a dozen actions between your turns, and nothing marks where your last turn ended) and "I
      want to watch their railroad" (a Frame problem). Ask before building: the first is an afternoon,
      the second is a new view.
      **The constraint on the second**, and it is the one that must not be got wrong: a district's
      BOARD is public — cards on the table, cars standing on them, trains — and a player's HAND,
      Revenue detail and drawn cards are not. `test/redaction.test.ts` exists precisely to catch a
      Frame that leaks the wrong half, and it works by serialising a seat's whole Frame and asserting

      **A cheap first move that is right either way:** mark the log where the viewer's own last turn

 ## Display
 What is on the screen and where. Split out of Other 2026-08-22; the rules are elsewhere.
 - [ ] **INVESTIGATE: a "most recent action" line under the status block.** Raised by Jesse
      2026-08-22: a line below the status block ("Day, Stage, phase, waiting on") and above the
      Division map, carrying the same kind of text the history does — *"Jesse drew from the Home
      Office deck"*, *"played right-hand turnout at (−3, 0)"*. His own note: "I'm not sure that's
      what's going to make the most sense, but I think it's something that should be investigated."
      **The text already exists and is already correct.** `describeIntent` and `narrate` produce
      exactly those sentences, and `record()` attributes them with the player's name. Nothing new has
      to be written to say what happened — this is placement, not content.
      **The slot is real but crowded.** Between `#turnchart` and `<main>` in `play.html` there are
      already three transient banners: `#phasenote` (a phase CHANGED, auto-hides), `#announce` (a
      one-shot announcement — a train completing its run pays everyone), and `#presence` (someone is
      disconnected). A permanent fourth line has to not compete with them, and the palette is already
      spoken for: violet reports where you are, amber means clickable, green and red mean good and
      bad (`turnchart.ts`). A "what just happened" line is none of those.
      **Two placements, and they are different features.** Put it in the page and it is the play
      screen's. Put it in `turnChartHtml` and it appears in **both replay viewers** too, which is
      probably a feature — a replay stepping frame by frame has exactly this question — but it makes
      the change three screens wide.
      **The question behind it is the unit, and it is why this should be decided with item 13.** In
      solitaire "most recent action" is right: you took it, you are looking straight at it. In
      multiplayer the thing you actually missed is everything that happened while you were WAITING,
      which is many actions and possibly a whole bot turn — and one line showing only the last of
      them may be the least useful line on the page. Item 13's cheap first move (mark the log where
      your own last turn ended) answers that better. They may both be right, and one may make the
      other pointless; deciding them separately risks building both and needing neither.
 - [ ] **INVESTIGATE: three explicit display options for the Office map — always hidden, always on,
      auto-hide.** Raised by Jesse 2026-08-22.
      **All three modes already exist.** `districtMode` is `'auto' | 'open' | 'closed'`, persisted to
      `localStorage` with the sound and zoom settings (`main.ts`). Nothing needs adding to the model.
      **What is wrong is that the button is a CYCLE, and it cannot reach every state.** The handler is
      `districtMode = districtMode === 'auto' ? (open ? 'closed' : 'open') : 'auto'` — so from `auto`
      you land on whichever pin is the OPPOSITE of what auto is doing right now, which depends on the
      phase, and every second press goes back to `auto`. You can never get from `open` to `closed`
      without passing through `auto`, and which of the two you can reach at all changes as the game
      moves between phases. That is why it does not feel like a setting.
      **Likely three buttons or a three-way segmented control**, one per mode, showing which is
      current — the label work is already done and is worth keeping: it says what pressing it DOES
      ("always showing — click for auto-hide") rather than what the panel is currently doing, which
      was a deliberate fix and should survive whatever replaces the cycle.
 - [ ] **INVESTIGATE: the same three options for the Division map, where `auto` means something
      different.** Raised by Jesse 2026-08-22.
      **Today it cannot be hidden at all.** `#division` is a plain `<div>` in an unnamed `<section>`
      in `play.html` with no toggle and no fold rule — `#district` has `.folded` styling and a button,
      the Division has neither.
      **`auto` here is not the Office's `auto`, and that is the point.** The Office folds by PHASE
      (`FOCUS_PHASES` — open during Local Operations and Cargo, folded otherwise). Jesse's Division
      rule is "hide it NOW, and bring it back at the end of this phase": you fold the map away to get
      room while switching or working cargo, and it returns of its own accord when you are done. So
      it is a one-shot with an expiry, not a standing rule — the state has to remember WHICH phase it
      was hidden during, and clear itself when `f.phaseKey` moves off that one. Different enough from
      `districtMode` that sharing an implementation with it would probably be a mistake.
      **Hidden and shown stay put** until pressed again, exactly as the Office's pins do.
 - [ ] **INVESTIGATE: give every phase a visible beat — perhaps one second.** Raised by Jesse
      2026-08-22, watching a game play: New Train, Mainline and the shift change "look like they are
      being skipped entirely". His suggestion: move to the phase, take a visible beat so the second
      row shows it changed, then move on.
      **They are not too fast. They are never drawn.** `pump()` (`advance.ts`) loops `advance()` until
      something needs input, and `drain()` renders ONCE after the whole batch. So every automatic
      phase between one click and the next resolves without the page ever painting it. A minimum dwell
      time on its own therefore fixes nothing — the page has to step `advance()` one call at a time
      and render between, which makes this an async pump with a queue rather than a `sleep`.
      **`#phasenote` already exists for exactly this feeling** — it announces that the phase CHANGED,
      because "the page can change out from under a player between one click and the next" — but with
      only the final phase ever drawn it can only ever announce the last transition of the batch.
      Stepping the pump is what would let it announce each one.
      **This is where it meets item 15.** Jesse's own example: during the New Train beat the "most
      recent action" line would read *"no new trains to build out"* — which is a sentence nothing
      currently produces, because a phase that does nothing emits no event to narrate. Some of these
      beats would need a line written for them, and deciding which is part of the same investigation.
      **The obvious risk, worth stating before anyone builds it:** a second per phase is four seconds
      of enforced waiting per Stage, forty-eight per Day, and a player who has seen it a hundred times
      will want it off. Whatever this becomes probably needs a speed control, or to scale with whether
      anything actually happened in the phase.
 - [ ] **INVESTIGATE: turn the track art vertical on a Division card laid vertically.** Raised by Jesse
      2026-08-22: a side lane "looks like a bunch of disconnected left-right tracks stacked one on top
      of another instead of looking like a continuous track."
      **It does, and the cause is one line.** `divisionSvg` draws every cell's rail with
      `rail(c.x + 6, c.y + 32, c.x + c.w - 6)` — horizontal, unconditionally, whatever side of the
      table the cell was laid on. **`railV` already exists**, is already used for the connector
      between stacked cells, and takes the same shape turned ninety degrees. So the cell needs to know
      which lane it is in (`dir[i]` is `'top' | 'right' | 'bottom' | 'left'`, known at layout time and
      currently not stored on the cell) and pick the one that matches.
      Everything else inside a side cell — the name, the capacity line, the train chips — is laid out
      horizontally too, so this is bigger than swapping one call: it is deciding whether a side cell is
      a rotated card or a differently-arranged one. Worth a sketch before any code.
 - [ ] **INVESTIGATE: run the inter-row connector round the outside, as rail, with angled corners.**
      Raised by Jesse 2026-08-22.
      **Where it comes out is wrong.** The turn between two sides of the table is drawn from
      `a.y + CH` — the BOTTOM edge of the last cell in the top row — across to `b.y`, the TOP edge of
      the first cell in the next. So the route leaves the top row's rightmost Limits downward out of
      its underside, when it should leave from its right-hand side; and on the bottom row it enters
      through the top edge when it should come in from the right. Jesse: "it should be on the outside
      circumference of the display."
      **What it is drawn WITH is wrong too.** That connector is a single `<path class="bs-turn">`
      — one plain polyline — while every other join on the map is `rail()` or `railV()`, two rails
      with cross ties. The connector between two stacked cells down a side already uses `railV`, which
      is why the vertical run looks like track and the corners do not.
      **And the corners want an angled piece**, Jesse's wish-list item: a 45° rail between the
      horizontal and vertical runs rather than a right-angled elbow, matching how the district's own
      track geometry works (everything leaving a card's north or south edge does so at 45°). That
      would want a `railD` beside `rail` and `railV`.
      All three are the same drawing pass and should be done together. Note the current elbow routes
      through `(ay + by) / 2` — the middle of the board — which is the space the item below wants to
      fill, so these two interact.
 - [ ] **INVESTIGATE: the Division Point captions overflow, and the buffer stops point the wrong way
      once the route wraps.** Raised by Jesse 2026-08-22.
      **The captions.** "west end · in and out" and "east end · in and out" are centred under their own
      cell at `x = c.x + c.w / 2`. That was a deliberate fix — they used to hang off the outside of
      the board and print clipped mid-word — and it works for a single row. It does not survive a
      wrap: a Running Track cell is 78px wide and the caption is not, and `boardW`/`boardH` are
      computed from CELL extents plus `PAD = 22`, never from the text. **The viewBox does not know the
      captions exist**, so any caption wider than its cell plus the padding is outside it. This is the
      same class of bug as the one the comment above the code says was already fixed once; the fix
      solved the one-row case.
      **The buffer stops.** Both are drawn on the HORIZONTAL ends of their cell — `first.x - 9` and
      `last.x + last.w + 9` — regardless of which side of the table the cell was laid on. With one row
      that is right: the line ends to the left and to the right. Wrapped, the East Division Point can
      end up on the bottom row or down a side, and its stop still points right, into the board rather
      than away from the route. Jesse's read is that it belongs at the top there. The correct rule is
      probably "away from the neighbour it joins", which is derivable rather than a special case — and
      it depends on the vertical-card question above, so do that one first.
 - [ ] **INVESTIGATE: fill the dead centre of the Division map with the common board.** Raised by
      Jesse 2026-08-22: with three or four seats the map is a ring with a large empty middle, while
      the timetable sits in a column on the far right.
      **The proposal, in his words:** move the timetable into the middle; maybe the yards, "because
      that is too applicable to everybody"; maybe the Department and Salvage decks as well, since
      those apply to all players. "Then the Division map becomes the common board area. The
      right-hand side — your move, your cards, your facilities, what's blocked — is your side of
      things."
      **That is a genuinely good division of the screen** and it names a principle the layout does not
      currently have: SHARED in the middle, YOURS on the right. Worth writing down as the rule even if
      the move itself is deferred, because it decides where anything new belongs.
      **What makes it awkward.** The middle is only empty at three and four seats — at one seat there
      is no middle at all, and at two the rows face each other across a gap the width of `SIDE_GAP`.
      So whatever goes there needs somewhere else to live at low seat counts, which is close to
      building both layouts. And the map is an SVG built by `divisionSvg` while the timetable, yards
      and decks are HTML panels (`panels.ts`), so "put them in the middle" means either
      foreign-objecting HTML into the SVG or positioning HTML over it — neither free, and the map is
      embedded into the replay by `toString()`, which constrains what it may reach for.
 - [ ] **INVESTIGATE: seat the viewer at the bottom of the Division map and wrap the table around
      them.** Raised by Jesse 2026-08-22: "consider that the player being displayed is always at the
      bottom of the display, and the rest of the table is wrapped around. This would give something
      of a feel of sitting at an actual table with my cards in front of me and the other players in
      front of me as well." His own note: not a decision, something to think about.
      **It needs no new data.** `divisionSvg` already takes `roster.viewer` — "the player this map is
      being drawn for" — and `main.ts` already passes it. The layout is a fixed lane order,
      `top → right → bottom → left`, filled in ROUTE order west to east; rotating means offsetting
      which lane the first seat lands in so the viewer's own district comes out on `bottom`. That is
      an index shift in one array, not a new layout engine.
      **The strongest argument for it is already in the code.** The map marks your district with a
      colour AND spells out "(you)", and the comment says why: "a colour alone cannot say which of
      four railroads is the reader's, and that is the first thing anybody wants to know at a table
      they just sat down at." A fixed position answers that structurally — you would know before
      reading anything. The marker stays as reinforcement rather than being the only signal.
      **What it costs is the other thing the map says.** The section is headed "The Division — west
      to east" and the route is a LINE, not a loop: it starts at the West Division Point and ends at
      the East one, with buffer stops at both and a deliberately open gap between them. Today that
      line starts top-left, where a reader starts reading. Rotate it and west starts wherever your
      seat put it — and the open gap, which is the thing that stops the ring being read as a loop,
      moves with it. Sometimes it would land behind you, out of the eye's path, which is exactly
      where the one feature that says "this is not a circle" should not be.
      **So the question is which of the two the map is FOR**, and it may not have the same answer at
      every seat count. At one seat there is nothing to rotate. At two it is a swap, and free. At
      three, rotating changes which way the horseshoe opens. At four it moves the break in the
      square. A rule like "rotate at three and four, leave one and two alone" is defensible but has
      to be decided rather than fallen into.
      **One caller has no viewer at all**: the site's replay viewer calls `divisionSvg(f.division)`
      with no roster (`web/replays.ts`). A replay watches every seat and belongs to none, so it has
      nothing to rotate around — the feature has to degrade cleanly to today's layout there, which is
      an argument for building it as an optional rotation rather than as the layout.
      **Same drawing pass as items 19, 20 and 22** — vertical track art, the corner connectors and
      the dead centre. All four move cells around the ring or change what is drawn inside them, and
      doing them one at a time means laying the map out four times.
 - [ ] **INVESTIGATE: history newest-at-the-top, and timestamps on it.** Raised by Jesse 2026-08-22.
      **Timestamps** are item 14 above — the same question, and it should be answered once. Whether
      the history DISPLAYS a time is downstream of whether one is recorded at all, and of the sidecar
      constraint written up there.
      **Order.** Today `main.ts` renders `session.lines().slice(-60)` oldest-first and then sets
      `log.scrollTop = log.scrollHeight`, so the newest line is at the bottom and the panel scrolls
      itself down to it. Reversing is nearly free — reverse the slice, drop the auto-scroll — and it
      does what Jesse wants: a glance at the top is always the most recent thing.
      **Two things that are not free.** The cap is `slice(-60)`, so "scroll back through the history"
      reaches sixty lines and stops however it is ordered; a real scrollback means raising or removing
      that cap and deciding what the panel does with a thousand lines. And the log carries PHASE
      HEADINGS (`t-phase`) that read forwards — a heading introduces the lines under it — so reversing
      the list puts each heading below the lines it announces. That has to be handled or the panel
      reads as nonsense at exactly the boundaries it exists to mark.
      **Worth deciding together with item 15**, which proposes pulling the single most recent line out
      of this panel entirely. If that lands, the argument for reversing the panel is weaker.

      2026-08-22, immediately after Gitea#7 changed the coach counts on four train cards and the
      answer to "where do we keep track of that?" turned out to be **five places of three different

      readable per-card table, a version-stamped snapshot), `docs/rules/implications.md` §5 (the
      transcription of `Trains3.pdf`, deliberately frozen at what the design SAYS),
      `docs/Trains3.pdf` (the artwork), and `docs/rules/card-reference.md` (an invented placeholder
      catalogue, banner-marked SUPERSEDED, whose train table still looks authoritative if you land in

      and this release proved it.

      Each card wants its name, what it does, where it may be placed, and — the part only the
      implementation knows — **whether its printed effect actually resolves yet**. `content.ts`
      already carries that last one for Enhancements (`EnhancementRule.effect`, live / dormantSolo /

      the model: prose composed from the data, so a tooltip cannot drift from the rule it describes.

 where the extra starts. They may choose either division point. And if the interchange mainline card
 has been played, they may start the extra on that card and choose the direction from there. If there
 is potential for conflict with other trains in that area the superintendent may hold the extra."

 train its direction from its number — odd runs west, even runs east — and an earlier pass extended
 that to Extras explicitly: *"the number decides, like everything else on the timetable."* That reading
 cannot survive "either Division Point". An odd Extra placed at the WEST end would run west, leave the
 Division on its first move having crossed nothing, and be paid the completion Revenue for the run.
 So for **Extras only**, the start decides the direction:
 | Start | Direction |
 | --- | --- |
 | Western Division Point | east |
 | Eastern Division Point | west |
 | Interchange | player's choice |
 | Control Point (any Office above a Whistle Post) | player's choice |
 A timetabled train is unchanged: its number still decides. The Extra cards were always printed
 `direction: 'playerChoice'` (§5) and the engine had been overriding it; they now mean it.
 ### The Interchange start is a YARD, not a spot on the running line
 §7's last clause — "the superintendent may hold the extra" — is what settles how this is modelled.
 An Extra started at an Interchange stands in that card's **yard**, off the running line, and highballs
 onto the card itself at a later Mainline Phase. Three things follow, all of them Jesse's rule rather
 than an implementation convenience:
 1. **Placing it can never force a collision**, however busy the card is. It is not on the road yet.
 2. **A guaranteed collision holds it in the yard** for another Stage, and it tries again next Stage.
 3. **A potential collision is the Superintendent's to rule on.**
 Those last two are exactly §8.1's two answers — an absolute bar against a facing train, a judgment
 call against a following one — so the Extra leaves the yard through the same clearance check a train
 leaves a Division Point through. Nothing new decides collisions.
 The Interchange keeps its printed "sort cars in new order" concept, still unimplemented (§6). Being
 the card with a Yard Limit is what makes it the one Mainline card a train can be made up on.
 ### Which starts are offered is a setting
 The Division Points and the Interchange sit on shared ground and belong to nobody; starting an Extra
 inside a player's own district does not. That is a table preference rather than a rule, so it is set
 when the game is dealt (`extraStart`): Division Points and Interchange only, plus the playing
 player's own Control Point, or plus any player's Control Point. A **Whistle Post never qualifies at
 any setting** — being a place an Extra can start is part of what upgrading buys (§11).
 ### Two bugs found underneath it
 - **The Mainline cards were rolled, not dealt.** `buildDivision` drew uniformly from the nine card
  TYPES **with replacement**, so a Division could be dealt two Interchanges or two Tunnels, and
  Plains — printed twice in the deck — carried the same weight as cards printed once.
  `docs/StationMaster-Mainline-Deck-v0.4.5.md` had already flagged the mismatch as needing
  correction; "an Extra may start at the Interchange if one is on the board" is what forced it, since
  that only reads as a rule if the board holds at most one. Now dealt from the printed ten-card deck
  without replacement.
 - **An Extra started anywhere but a Division Point ran empty.** `isBeingMadeUp` asked only "is this
  tray standing at a Division Point", which was the whole truth while that was the only place to
  build a train — so the Control Point start had shipped since it was added with a train that could
  never be given a consist, and the Interchange start would have shipped the same way. Found by
  playing it, not by the tests, which had only ever asserted where the tray landed.
 ---
 ## §6.2 — a train card is never discarded
 **Jesse's ruling, v0.4.9e playtest** (Gitea#6): "Players are not allowed to discard Train cards. They
 may keep the card in their hand for multiple stages and even multiple days, but they may not discard
 it. If a player has three train cards in their hand, and they draw a fourth, then they must play one
 of those cards."
 **Extras count.** An Extra is a train, even though it runs once and ends in the Salvage Yard where a
 Timetabled card joins the timetable for the rest of the game.
 §6.2 as transcribed says only "the player must reduce his hand to no more than three cards" with no
 exception for any card type, so this is a ruling rather than a gap — the prototype rules do not
 address it either way.
 ### It needs no forcing mechanism, and that is the point
 The interesting property of this rule is that the forced play falls out of two rules that already
 exist rather than needing a third:
 1. a train card cannot be discarded, so it is not among the ways to shed a card; and
 2. `draw.end` already refuses while the hand is over the limit (§6.2).
 A player holding four trains therefore has exactly one legal way to conclude the turn — play one —
 without anything in the engine ever computing "you must play a train". The corner cannot lock a
 player in, because **playing a train card is unconditionally legal**: `card.play`'s train case
 refuses only a board placement, and a train card played when the timetable is full still leaves the
 hand (it simply schedules nothing). Confirmed by playing it: a hand of four trains offers zero
 discards, no `draw.end`, and four plays.
 The bot needed no rule of its own either. `legal.ts` enumerates candidates and filters them through
 `check`, so the option stops being offered; and the developer bot already reaches for `card.play`
 before it reaches for a discard. Measured over 400 games: 400/400 finished, revenue unmoved, and
 **trains scheduled 1.2 → 1.3** — the rule's intended effect, small because a bot rarely held four.
 ### Consequences
 - **Two of the three published replays discarded train cards** (2 and 15 of them) and were retired
  and re-recorded. Jesse's call: "I'm okay with retiring the replays that no longer work under those
  old rules."
 - **The opening six-card hand is not exempt.** Under *six random cards* a player opens holding six
  against a limit of three; if four or more are trains, they all go onto the timetable on turn one.
  Jesse's call: "If the opening hand has lots of trains, then lots of trains will be placed on the
  board." Rare — roughly 1.5% of deals — but deliberate.
 - **The player is told, on the card and on the button.** `handDiscardable` on the Frame marks which
  cards may be shed, the hand panel says so in the card's own tooltip, and when EVERY card held is a
  train the blocked end-turn button changes its text to say a train must be played. That is the
  Gitea#2 lesson applied: a rule the player cannot see is a board with nothing to click and no reason
  given.

 * `MAINLINE_PROFILES` is a list of card TYPES and this drew from it uniformly WITH replacement, so
 * a Division could be handed two Interchanges or two Tunnels, and Plains — printed twice in the
 * deck — carried the same weight as cards printed once. `MAINLINE_DECK` is the printed inventory
 * (`docs/StationMaster-Mainline-Deck-v0.4.5.md`, which flagged this as needing correction), and the
 * deal is now a deal: take cards out of it and do not put them back.
 *
 * The Extra-start rules are what forced the issue. "An Extra may start at the Interchange if one is
 * on the board" only reads as a rule if the board can hold at most one.
 *
 * A Division needs `players + 1` cards, so four players draw five from ten and the deck is never
 * close to exhausted; the throw is there because a silent short Division would be very hard to see.
