v0.4.9f — an Extra starts where you put it, a train card is never discarded

The 0.6.2 change, ported to the playtest line. Three from the v0.4.9e gameplay-testing round — Gitea#4 extras did not start where the player said, #6 train cards could be discarded, #7 four train cards had the wrong coach counts — plus two bugs found underneath #4. Gitea#2 is diagnosed but NOT fixed; it needs a ruling, and the reasoning is in TODO.md. GITEA#4 — AN EXTRA STARTS WHERE THE PLAYER PUTS IT. Both Division Points are offered now, and the START decides the direction rather than the number: an odd westbound Extra placed at the WEST end would otherwise leave the Division on its first move having crossed nothing and be paid for the run. 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 an Extra there can never force a collision, a guaranteed one holds it for another Stage, and a potential one is the Superintendent's to rule on, which are §8.1's two existing answers. Where an Extra may start is a new setting in the New Game dialog, defaulting to what the engine already did so this build does not change under its testers mid-line. FOUND UNDERNEATH IT, both already shipping: an Extra started away from a Division Point could never be given a consist and ran empty, so the Control Point start has been broken since it was added; and collide left destroyed trains' transits on the Mainline card, permanently poisoning that card for every later train. THE MAINLINE CARDS ARE DEALT FROM THE PRINTED DECK NOW, without replacement. They were drawn from the nine types with replacement, so a Division could hold two Interchanges — and "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. This re-deals every seed, so both published replays were retired and re-recorded. GITEA#6 — A TRAIN CARD IS NEVER DISCARDED, Timetabled and Extra alike. No forcing mechanism was needed: 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 a hand of four cannot trap anyone. The hand panel says so on the train, and the blocked end-turn button changes its wording. GITEA#7 — COACH COUNTS. 1/2 Crack Limited 3 -> 2, 5/6 The Sparrow 2 -> 3. WHAT DIFFERS FROM THE MAIN LINE. The car-placement round rotation test that accompanies #7 there arrived with the 0.6 multiplayer work and does not exist here, so there was nothing for the coach-count change to follow. src/web/main.ts and test/web.test.ts needed hand-resolution: this line's New Game dialog has neither the mode radios nor the victory dials, so only the Extra-start parts were taken. The content.ts comment pass came across whole; main's TODO documentation item did not, since this line keeps its own TODO. 623 tests pass, tsc clean, site builds.

 ## 0.4.9f — 2026-08-22
 Three more from the v0.4.9e gameplay-testing round, 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`.
 The same change ships as **0.6.2** on the main line. The full reasoning for every item is in that
 line's CHANGELOG; this entry records what reached the playtest build and what differs.
 ### Gitea#4 — an Extra starts where the player puts it
 Both Division Points are now offered, not the one the train's number dictates, and **the start decides
 the direction** rather than the number — the two cannot both hold, since 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. At an Interchange or a Control Point, where both ways are real runs, the player picks.
 The Interchange start is a **yard**, off the running line, which is what makes the Superintendent
 clause work: placing an Extra there 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 one is the
 Superintendent's to rule on. Those are §8.1's two existing answers, so nothing new decides collisions.
 Where an Extra may start is a **new setting in the New Game dialog** — Division Points and the
 Interchange only, plus your own Control Point, or plus any player's — defaulting to what the engine
 already did, so this build does not change under its testers mid-line.
 **Found underneath it, and both had been shipping:** an Extra started anywhere but a Division Point
 could never be given a consist and ran empty (so the Control Point start has been broken since it was
 added), and `collide` left destroyed trains' transits on the Mainline card, which permanently poisoned
 that card for every later train.
 **The Mainline cards are now dealt from the printed deck without replacement.** They were drawn from
 the nine types WITH replacement, so a Division could hold two Interchanges — and "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.
 ### Gitea#6 — a train card is never discarded
 Timetabled and Extra alike. Hold one for as many Stages and Days as you like; it never goes onto a
 Department pile. **No forcing mechanism was needed:** 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 a hand
 of four trains cannot trap anyone. The hand panel says so on the train itself, and the blocked
 end-turn button changes its wording when every card held is a train.
 ### Gitea#7 — coach counts
 **1/2 Crack Limited 3 coaches → 2. 5/6 The Sparrow 2 → 3.**
 ### What differs from the main line
 - The **car-placement round rotation test** that accompanies #7 on main was not ported: that test
  arrived with the 0.6 multiplayer work and does not exist on this line, so there was nothing for the
  coach-count change to follow.
 - `src/web/main.ts` and `test/web.test.ts` needed hand-resolution — this line's New Game dialog has
  neither the mode radios nor the victory dials, so only the Extra-start parts were taken.
 - The `content.ts` comment pass came across whole; the `TODO.md` documentation item did not, since
  this line keeps its own TODO.
 **Both published replays were retired by the rules change and re-recorded.** 623 tests pass.
 ### The deploy script was broken by a host upgrade
 Not part of the playtest report — found trying to publish this build. Every deploy died with
 `login failed: 404 404 page not found`, because the File Browser host has been upgraded to
 **FileBrowser Quantum**, a fork whose API differs from the v2.63 one `deploy-web.ts` was written
 against. Three things moved at once, each fatal on its own:
 1. **Auth is a session COOKIE**, not a JWT in the response body sent back as `X-Auth:`.
 2. **The password is a header** — `X-Password`, URL-encoded — not a JSON body field.
 3. **The path is a query parameter** (`?path=`), and every resource call must also name a
   **`source`**: Quantum can serve several named stores and refuses any call that does not say which
   ("no source provided"). The v2.63 API had no such concept.
 Rewritten against the running instance's own bundle rather than guessed — the same discipline the
 v2.63 version was written with — and each path confirmed against the live host by response code: an
 endpoint that exists answers a bad password with **401**, one that does not answers **404**. The
 source is discovered from `GET /api/settings/sources`; one configured source is used silently, and
 several makes the script stop and list them rather than deploy the site into the wrong store.
 `FB_SOURCE` overrides it, and `FB_OTP` carries a two-factor code.

 ## Play Balance
 - [ ] **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: 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.** §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
      implemented exactly. The problem is the interaction: a single global refill condition over a
      pile holding six commodities with very different demand, where coaches are consumed by BOTH
      halves of every passenger cycle. Traced over the reported game, the coach pool runs from 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; (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`. 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 was not merely blocked,
      he was given no reason — the button simply was not there. Worth fixing whichever way the

 ## §7 — where an Extra starts, and which way it runs
 **Reported from playing v0.4.9e** (Gitea#4): "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."
 **This supersedes an earlier ruling**, and the supersession is the interesting part. §2.3 gives every
 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.

 *      needs a **`source`** naming which configured store to write to. Quantum throws "no source
 *      provided" without it. `FB_SOURCE` names it; left unset, the sole configured source is used,
 *      and if there is more than one this stops and lists them rather than guessing.
