From the first two multiplayer playtests of v0.8.0.9, each traced before fixing.
The engine:
- A train on a card BEHIND the one departing no longer triggers a clearance
ruling or an opposite-direction bar (#26). Reproduced from the exported
save: X15 was held over X18 behind it, and X18 then collided into the full
Whistle Post. Games in progress holding a ruling the engine no longer asks
for will not resume (28 of 40 recorded four-seat games); shipped as is at
Jesse's call.
- `mainlineModified` carries the card's previous kind, so the log can say
what a Realignment converted (#27).
The screen:
- The turn chart and the Division map name the player whose move is on
screen while bot turns replay, not the live actor (#25).
- The owning player's name is no longer outlined by the turn arrow's stroke,
which made it unreadable (#24).
- A Mainline card flashes on the map when a Realignment changes it (#28).
- The history is held back with the board and revealed step by step, instead
of arriving whole while the board is still catching up (#29).
- A ruling made by holding the office reads "Superintendent Player X" (#30),
and no line names a player twice (#31).
- A seated player can download their own game as a save file: the play
page's Save replay button, fed by GET /api/save?token=… (#32). The StartOS
action cannot do this — an action result is text only.

"Many operations still occurred too fast for me to see", at 10x — where an action
already holds the screen for seven seconds. So it was never duration: a bot drawing
a card changes one number in a panel nobody is watching, and the board sits
unchanged. Raising the dwell was the wrong lever and it had been pulled three
times.
f.deck has carried the face-down count since the Frame existed and nothing drew it
— the display gap test/display-gaps.test.ts sweeps for, surviving in the one panel
that draws every other pile. It is a tile now, first in the row, face down, because
that is the order a card travels and not knowing what is on top is the point.
And the piles a move touched are lit for as long as that move is on screen. Derived
from the frames either side of a step rather than sent, so nothing joins the
protocol and the 0.8.1 board gets it free. What lights follows what is public, and
was measured across four seeds rather than reasoned about: a Home Office draw
lights the deck and never names the card; a Department draw lights that pile, and
the deck too when it refills; a discard lights the Department it lands on; a played
card lights the Salvage Yard. Switching and new trains light nothing here — they
move the board, which the district panel already follows.
A state rather than a flash: the timetable's fixed 1.5s animation would be over
long before a seven-second pause. Not for your own moves.

TODO #13, #15 and #18 — Gitea#20 steps 2-4 pointed at a seated player's own screen.
Every accepted intent, and every automatic phase that does anything, becomes an
ordered presentation step. A bot's whole switching turn used to land in one push;
now it arrives as a run of steps, the district panel follows whoever is acting,
and a [N behind] … [Skip] row says how far the board is from the game.
Solitaire runs the same path — one collector inside submit(), which both session
kinds already funnel through — which is where its automatic phases finally get a
visible beat.
Dwell is assigned by kind: switching holds the screen, turn bookkeeping costs
nothing, and the clock turning over earns the beat. Tunable per viewer without a
rebuild, and off entirely at pace 0.
Also: switching was the one class of action logging unattributed, and now names
its train. Reasoning, measurements and the three things that turned out wrong are
in CHANGELOG.md.
