v0.8.0.14 — the coaches that never come back, and a district that ends at its own sign
Six reports from the Day 2-3 playtest of v0.8.0.13. GAMES IN PROGRESS DO NOT SURVIVE THIS ONE. Modifiers are now bounded by the Limits, which makes a once-legal move illegal, so a save holding one is refused at that move: whistle-6945.day3.stage10 stops at intent 528 of 539. Jesse's call, knowing it strands the game on the box. The file is untouched and v0.8.0.13 still finishes it. The Sparrow running empty and Tom unable to unload his passengers are the same shortage from opposite ends, and both are the rules working as printed. §9.2 boarding discards the emptied coach into the CLASSIFICATION yard, detraining draws a fresh empty out of the DIVISION yard, and §2.2 sends Classification back only when the Division Yard runs bare — so coaches move one way. Measured over the save: sixteen in the Division Yard at setup, zero from Day 2 Stage 8 to the end, fifteen piled in Classification, the Division Yard steady at 46-47 freight cars with no prospect of going bare. Jesse's ruling is Gitea#2's: the shortage stays and the game says so. A train made up short now reports what its card wanted and why none is coming (`makeUpShort` — `trainNeedingCars` answered null for "done" and for "cannot be done" alike, so the phase moved on in silence); the yard panel warns while the condition lasts; the Depot's blocked panel was right all along. The modifier outside the Limits was working as designed and the design was Jesse's own call, now reversed. What decided it is what the board shows — a card beyond your own sign, in territory §8.1 and §10 reason about. The case that motivated the exemption was checked on the reported move rather than argued away: the Power Plant sat at (-1,3) against a sign at column 3 and two spots inside were free, legal and adjacent. Switching filled the history with coordinates — a line per move, plus one per mandatory coupling. It is still LOGGED in full; what the panel draws is the line saying somebody switched, the first move, work at an INDUSTRY (named, not a coordinate), the Small Yard sort, and a closing summary. The suppressed lines are still WRITTEN, marked `trace`: dropping them outright was the first attempt and the step-queue suite caught it, because dwellForStep pays nothing for a step that said nothing, so the board stopped replaying switching at all. The last move rides in the closing line rather than being kept in place — nothing knows a move was the last until the turn is over, by which time the line has been streamed to every client and cannot be revised. Two things fell out of reading those lines: every move ended with a tutorial sentence the opener already gives, and the move count said "of 6" with the six hardcoded, which is wrong on a night Stage. Make-up lines name their train — they all read "the train being made up", so looking back for train 10 found nothing under that name — and "a empty tank" is now "an empty tank". The Small Yard's options read as the train they would build instead of `[1,2,3,0]`; the one Jesse wanted was the first of five and unreadable. Two of those five were junk: bringing the last car to the end is the identity and would have spent a Move, and a two-car reversal duplicated its only real option. Both are filtered by the resulting order, not by the case that made them. A Small Yard may now put cars AHEAD of the engine, which was Jesse's own open question. Two sources disagreed and the design notes won: the v0.4.5 card text says the sort puts the engine at the nose, implications.md says "any order, including cars ahead of the engine". `engineAt` is optional on the intent, so older saves replay to the same train. The menu did not multiply — the engine is a separate short list against the consist as it stands, eight options for a four-car train rather than twenty. §8.2 needed no new code: badlyMadeUp is deliberately direction-free, so a PUSHING train is fit to run and only a broken-backed one is held. The button warns by asking that predicate rather than copying it, and immediately earned itself — every one of train 10's eight options is refused, the one asked for at the table included, because that train carries a caboose and each sort moves it off the rear. That is the right answer rather than a gap: the train is already made up, so every offer would break it, and the labels say which is which. A made-up order is always on the menu for a train that needs one, because "bring car k to the tail" is enumerated for every car and the caboose is one of them. Labels read WEST TO EAST, with the engine drawn as the board's own ◀ / ▶ arrow. "Front to back" is not a direction a table can read — which end is the front depends on which way the train points — and board-svg has reversed east-facing consists since v0.8.0, so the button now describes the same train as the picture. The Freight Agent, Porter and Laborer groups now say what the role is for, where the role is chosen. Tom reached for the Freight Agent to detrain passengers, which is a Porter's action in the Cargo phase; both halves were working and neither was visible. TODO closes #107 (the nose sort) and gains #108 (the coach ratchet, with the measurement, to revisit on a second game's data). 999 fast tests and 35 sim tests pass.

v0.7.2 — a leg that is part of the row, the deck the sheet prints, regions not miles per hour, and a Division you read left to right
Gitea#17 — a 45° leg is an end of the west-to-east row, so backing into a cut through a curve's south leg no longer couples it back to front. The same assumption left a crew's own cut standing when it pulled out through a leg, which is the "cars left behind" report we had failed to reproduce. Gitea#14 — every count is docs/Deck cards5.xlsx. Track halved, and the Q12 office doubling and Gap 12 industry tripling both come out with it: they were measured against a deck with twice the track, and keeping them at the sheet's track count wipes out the reefer chain entirely. 84 rows now match card for card; the ten Safety, Event and Inspection cards it adds are not built and are held out. Cards the sheet no longer lists are dealt zero copies rather than deleted, so their rules stay implemented. Gitea#15 — RAR reversed it: a rail may stop dead against its neighbour and the placement is legal. What must hold is that no train crosses the gap, which was already true and is now pinned against the reported board. Gitea#3 — the printed speeds are scenery. A card costs one Stage per printed region and where a train STARTS is what varies; Fast/Slow is read on Hilly alone. Entering a one-region card behind another is a collision now, which is what ABS exists to prevent, and ABS no longer holds trains silently. Gitea#18 — the Division draws as one row, west to east, with no office-area detail. East is finally always to the right. Closes #3 Closes #14 Closes #15 Closes #17 Closes #18 |

v0.6.0 — saves survive a release, Employee Rotation is real, and the lobby
asks what game you want Three queued items. The last matters most. A RELEASE NO LONGER DESTROYS EVERY GAME IN PROGRESS. Four consecutive releases killed every game on the box, one of them a release that changed only how the board is drawn. The reasoning behind the refusal was always right — a move legal under old rules may not be legal under new ones, and half-replaying a save is worse than refusing it. The TEST was wrong: it compared engineVersion for exact equality, and that stamp is the package version, which moves for a CSS fix. Whether a save still replays has an exact answer, so it is now asked directly. loadGame reads the file and judges nothing; tryResumeSession replays the intents and reports the first one the engine refuses. A save stamped with a version this server has never run resumes fine provided its moves replay — verified against a file hand-stamped 0.4.9-ancient. One that genuinely does not replay is still refused, but the log names the move rather than two version strings: "move 3 of 8 (localOps.choose) is rejected by the current rules with OPTION_ALREADY_CHOSEN". fromMultiplayerSave had to stop lying first. It has always stopped at the first unacceptable intent and done so in silence, which was survivable only because the version gate meant a doomed replay was never attempted. Now that the replay IS the check, it returns where it stopped and why. Deliberately not done: resuming a partly-replayable game at its last good move. That silently rewinds a game to a position nobody played to while every browser holding a later Frame carries on unaware. Refusing leaves the file intact, so putting the previous version back still recovers it. EMPLOYEE ROTATION IS IMPLEMENTED, SISTER TRAINS IS DELETED. Two of the four optional-rule flags were read by nothing at all. Employee Rotation is four lines in advance.ts, because the seat/player split (D9) exists for precisely this rule: seating is the only thing that moves, so Revenue, hands, the Superintendent and whose turn it is travel with the player, and the Office, district, grid and any trains standing in it stay with the chair. Inheriting the district you move into is the point of the rule, not a side effect. "Left" is seat + 1, matching playerLeftOf. Sister Trains is deleted rather than built: Q9 records that the Second Section card supersedes it, and that card exists, so the flag was a toggle for a rule the game no longer has. THE LOBBY ASKS WHAT GAME YOU WANT TO PLAY. Creating a game asked for a name, a mode and a table size; every other dial was hardcoded. A Game settings block now carries the same set the solitaire dialog does — seed, starting hand, the three revenue rates, Days, the combined-Revenue floor, both collision caps, the opponent-card toggle — plus the three surviving optional rules. Mode and table size set the defaults and everything stays editable. The seed is honoured, so a game can be reproduced or compared. Verified: 682 tests pass (679 + 3). The rotation tests were mutation-checked both ways — disabling the rotation and turning the table the wrong way each fail the suite. Live: a save stamped 0.4.9-ancient resumed, an injected illegal move was refused by name, and a create with every dial set to a non-default value came back out of game.json with all of them intact, including seed 777. Two of my own assertions were wrong on the way and the tests caught them: the Fedora legitimately passes at Stage 12 (§5) so it cannot be compared against its own earlier value, and dispatchUsedToday is cleared at every Day boundary so it cannot mark a district. |

v0.5.0 — multiplayer Phases 2 and 3: a server that runs a game and survives being restarted
Phases 0-1 shipped in v0.4.0 (seat/identity split, per-player turn state, the Session boundary). This lands Phase 2 (server core, one game, no lobby) and Phase 3 (persistence and resumption) per docs/architecture/multiplayer.md §12. Phases 4-6 (lobby/reconnection, the 22 opponent-directed cards, StartOS packaging) are still ahead. Phase 2: src/server/session.ts hosts a game in pure logic (no sockets) on top of game.ts's existing Game/submit/currentActor/actionMenu; it verifies seat === currentActor(game) itself before calling submit, since submit() trusts its caller and a server can't. src/server/http.ts and index.ts add POST /api/game, GET /api/stream (SSE, per-seat), POST /api/intent, and static serving of dist/. src/sim/frame-delta.ts is a purpose-built per-seat board delta for one live push at a time. Found and fixed along the way: actionMenu(game, seat) only used seat for the hand field, so a server computing every connected seat's Menu would have handed the acting player's legal moves to a waiting seat. Verified with a live end-to-end smoke test (2-player game, two SSE streams, a rejected intent from the wrong seat, an idempotent resend) plus test/server/session.test.ts and test/redaction.test.ts. Not verified: an actual browser (none available in this environment). Phase 3: src/server/persistence.ts writes game.json and turn-timings.json, atomic-rewrite-then- rename. game.ts gained fromMultiplayerSave, fixing a narration-attribution bug found while testing it (fromSave's replay loop drops the actor argument, invisible in solitaire, unreadable the moment there's more than one seat — fromSave itself still has this gap, deliberately untouched). Verified live: server killed and restarted mid-game, both seats reconnected exactly where they left off. Two rules bugs found while building this: the New Train phase never implemented its car-placement round (every car of every train was placed by the Superintendent alone, in every mode, all along — now reads the round position off tray.consist.length); and victory conditions are now one shared, configurable GameConfig set across solitaire/competitive/coop instead of a fixed length lookup and a dead firstToTarget condition. Also folds in the three fixes already released on the patch line as v0.4.9b/c/d: a switching train's crew badge failing to draw once it left the Office square, an unload that always took the westmost car regardless of which was picked, and a legal decision that could render with zero buttons. docs/testing/0.5.0-test-plan.md and three reported-bug save files (docs/station-master-seed*.json) included for reproducibility. tools/jitsi-harness/ deliberately left untracked — unrelated side-project work, not part of this release. 635 tests, 0 failures. |

the Roster Pass: every train at the Office visible
Builds "The Roster Pass" / "Two Trains, One Card" (station display for multiple trains at one Office). The Office is the one square where more than one train may legally stand at once (one per A/D track), and CellView.train had room for exactly one — a second train at a busy Station was counted in the old A/D pips and never drawn. CellView.train -> CellView.trains: TrainView[], seat-filtered and collecting every match rather than the first (fixes a latent cross-district leak in the process: trainOnCard never checked seat). The A/D pips are replaced with one roster chip per A/D track, always, free or occupied; clicking a chip sets selectedCrew, wiring the board and the action panel to the same value. standingWest moves from CrewTray to TrackCard: two trays sharing one Office card need one shared split, not one each, and there is no such thing as "west of one particular A/D track". No save migration — Save replays through the engine — and a stale value on an emptied card is inert because nothing reads a split with no train standing there. The Division map's Office cell is now sized by A/D capacity rather than occupancy, so it holds still as trains arrive and leave; chips lay into fixed slots instead of centre-spreading onto the Limits cards either side. 584 tests, 0 failures. Verified end-to-end against the built app and a direct render of a 4-train Terminal (screenshotted).

v0.4.7 — the switching game: track order, the cut on your own card, and four rules
Eight play reports and one design that had been written up and not built. The
through-line is switching: what a card can hold, which end of a train a cut comes
off, which way a train meets cars standing on the line, and what the board and the
log say about all of it.
TRACK ORDER FOR STANDING CARS, AND THE CUT ON YOUR OWN CARD
Two reports turned out to be one root cause. `TrackCard.standing` claimed "in track
order (§A.3)" and had no defined orientation at all, while `CrewTray.consist` does
(nose first, relative to facing) — so every transfer between them was a conversion
nothing performed. §A.3 says what it should be: cars occupy the track "in the same
order they originally held, left-to-right". Left-to-right is west-to-east, and that
is now the defined orientation of `standing` and of an industry track through
`carsOn`. It is the board's orientation, not the train's, so it does not change when
a different train touches the card.
- Setting out is batch-invariant. Four cars at once, four singles and two pairs
parked three different orders, one of them physically impossible. Successive
cuts off the same end stack up towards the engine, so the insertion point is the
train's own place in the row.
- Approaching a cut from either end now mirrors. `couples` is built nearest-first
along the direction of travel and reverses onto the nose, so the farthest car met
ends up nose-most — which is what makes a run-around worth its Move.
- A train no longer drives through its own cut. The walk began at the neighbour of
the start square and never read the start card, so a crew could set cars out and
pull straight away from them. Coupling is mandatory (§A.4) and your own square is
no exception; the cut counts against the four-car limit. Setting out off the end
you are not leaving by still works.
`CrewTray.standingWest` records where a train stands among the cars on its card — a
train may set out off both ends on one square, so which side a cut is on is not
recoverable from the array alone.
On the board, the cut is drawn split at the train — west cars left, east cars right,
engine in the gap — and each car's tooltip says whether it stands ahead of or behind
the engine. The history says which end a cut came off, and a move's button separates
"takes your own boxcar back off this card" from cars found standing on the line.
Decided: taking your own cut back on the square you are standing on is UNDOING the
drop. It is exempt from trains 3/4's per-location freight budget, X13's "drop but not
pick up" and X22's "empties only", and it refunds the budget the drop spent.
Otherwise a legal-looking drop becomes silently one-way.
Measured, 200 paired seeds, developer bot: -0.55 revenue (t = -3.63), freight revenue
1.11 -> 0.56. That cost is the bot's, not the rule's — its trains run engine-first,
so at a stub industry it sets a car out between itself and the only way out, and the
correct play is §A.5's facing-point move, which is the cross-turn planning TODO.md
already records as out of reach of any bot. Filtering self-recoupling moves out of its
options took recoupling from 625 of 1,029 set-outs to 101 of 677, and all 101 that
remain are that case. Read the number as a bot measurement, not a balance one.
THE SUPERINTENDENT'S RULING NAMES THE TRAINS IT IS ABOUT
Reported: the Superintendent could not tell which train he was clearing. The heading
asks the question now — "may Train 6 follow Train 4 onto the same Mainline card?" —
and the trains moved to the FRONT of each button, because the button splits its label
at the first em-dash and showed only the head.
AN INDUSTRY TRACK HOLDS FOUR CARS, LIKE EVERY OTHER CARD
Reported at undo 188: "we wanted to drop two cars, but were only allowed to drop one."
An industry track was built as long as its box count, so a one-box industry had room
for one car. Box count is how much WORK an industry can hold, not how much RAIL it
has. Ordinary track was the other exception, unbounded; both are gone and every card
holds four.
THE FREIGHT AGENT MAY STAGE A LOAD BEFORE THE CAR IS THERE
§6.3 asks nothing of the industry track — the empty car belongs to §9.3's Load the
car, which is the Laborer's action. The gate now lives only there, so cargo can wait
on the dock while the car to ship it in is still being switched in. Nothing can jam:
a load in a green box is waiting, not stuck.
THE TRUCK DOCK UNLOADS, AND BRINGS NOBODY
+1 inbound, no Laborer. It printed +1 outbound and +1 Laborer, which made it a
longer-host-list copy of Forklifts. Beside Packing Sheds it now does nothing at all,
and the hand tooltip says so before it is played.
Also in this release, from the days before: Mainline card tooltips computed from the
crossing rule; an Extra starts from the Division Point its number sends it to; a
modifier's suppressed grant comes back when a Whistle Post is upgraded; the Oil
Refinery and the Grocer's Warehouse ship as well as receive, per the card reference;
and the dormant defences name the attack they answer. `.claude/` is now gitignored —
it holds Claude Code's worktrees, i.e. a second checkout of this repository.
570 tests, typecheck clean. The three published replays were re-recorded twice —
legality changed, so bot play changed. Full detail in CHANGELOG.md.
