v0.6.1 — five of six playtest bugs: one button per train, and a load that has to go somewhere
Gameplay testing on 0.4.9d returned six reports. Five are fixed; the sixth could not be reproduced and is written up in TODO.md with the two questions that would pin it down. TWO TRAINS AT ONE PLATFORM ANSWERED TO ONE BUTTON. `porter.board` and `porter.detrain` carried no tray, so there was one button per platform however many trains stood at it and the reducer filled the first empty coach on the A/D tracks. `check` and the reducer were not even asking the same question: `check` skipped a train whose card refuses passenger work and the reducer did not. Both intents now carry an optional `trayId`, one function resolves the train and the coach for check/execute/reduce alike, `legal.ts` offers one candidate per train, and the label names it. A LOAD COULD BE MADE AND BROKEN WITHOUT GOING ANYWHERE. A Freight House could unload the boxcar it had just loaded; a platform could detrain the passengers it had just boarded. Full Revenue at both ends for a movement that never happened. Jesse's rule: a load made anywhere in an Office Area may not be broken anywhere in that Office Area, ever — it has to be carried to another district. The load carries the seat that made it (`RollingStock.origin`), stripped by `pooled` at every yard push. Measured at -0.60 +/- 0.10 Revenue a game (t = -6.1) over 400 paired deals: 78 worse, 3 better, 319 unchanged — free Revenue coming off the board, not a nerf. THE GROCER'S WAREHOUSE SHIPPED AND THE REFINERY RECEIVED. Both were `flow: 'both'` on the reading that "Freight House" was a collective term for exactly those two, and therefore what §9.3 described. The engine has dealt a Freight House CARD since before v0.4.9, so §9.3 names it and the argument goes. The card set agrees: all three Refinery modifiers grant +1 outbound. Refinery outbound-only, Grocer's inbound-only, Freight House the one two-way industry — which leaves exactly the one same-district pairing the rule above refuses. NOT REPRODUCED: cars left behind when backing up over them. Five layouts tried, including cars spotted at an industry; every one couples the lot. Three are pinned in `apply.test.ts`. One way to create such cars was closed anyway — `flyingSwitch` wrote its cut past `carsOn`. Both published replays that had gone dead were re-recorded; a rules change retires a save, and `harness.test.ts` is what catches it. The same change ships as v0.4.9e on the 0.4.9 line, branched from the v0.4.9d commit — the engine files these fixes touch are identical across the two lines, so the patch applied cleanly both ways. Also carries the two "Queued 2026-08-22, from playing on StartOS" TODO items that were staged before this work started (Games in Progress readability, and getting back into a game after losing a browser). They are notes, and items 9-12 below them are numbered against them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_011nbvwWMef8CuEP6t5cgkTv
