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.

v0.8.0.13 — the board on screen is the board you can act on
Nine reports from the Day 1-2 playtest of v0.8.0.12. One moved a car, one was a rule working correctly with nothing on screen to say so, and the rest are things the table could not see. The real bug: the Division Yard chips stayed lit and clickable while the board was catching up. `renderActions` puts the action list away while the queue is behind — a move offered against a position that has already moved on is a move made blind — but the make-up wiring sat outside that guard. A chip was clicked during a bot's make-up, a coach left the yard, and the train ended up with three cars: a real intent submitted against a board several moves stale. The chips now follow the queue like every other control, and the yard COUNTS are drawn from the shown board rather than the live game — they were the one panel still reporting a future the player had not been shown. The Office Area picker had a button per opponent and none for yourself, so the one player who could not reach their own district was the player waiting on everybody else. Your own seat is in the row now, and the row is ordered by SEAT, west to east as the Division map draws it, rather than by join order — sorted from the Frame's own `seat` on every render, so it rotates with Employee Rotation instead of having to be told. §5's handover of the Fedora rode on `actorChanged`, which is turn bookkeeping and which `record()` drops as noise, so the one moment it carried that a player needed went past in silence. It is its own event now, narrated and announced. The phase keeps its name: the Supervisor Shift refreshes every Laborer and Porter EVERY Stage and the Fedora moves only every third. A collision now names whose Office it was and who paid the 5 Revenue, which rode in a separate `revenueChanged`; a Mainline collision is phrased differently because §10 makes it the Superintendent's. Passengers, reported as a bug and ruled not one after replaying the save: the Depot's capacity and modifiers were fine, and §6.3 stocking wants a LOADED coach out of the Division Yard, which held none while six sat in Classification. The shortage stays — running out is part of the game, the same ruling Gitea#2 got — but the blocked panel says so now instead of the action being silently absent. Smaller: "working left" is "working eastward" in the make-up panel and the New Train tip, because the map runs west to east and the table does not; the history panel keeps 90 lines instead of 60 in the same 230px box. `git diff v0.8.0.12..v0.8.0.13 -- src/engine/` is NOT empty this time: `events.ts` declares `superintendentChanged` and `advance.ts` emits it. Both are additive — `check()`, `legal.ts` and every predicate are untouched, and events are derived by replaying a save rather than stored — so no once-legal move became illegal and games in progress resume.

v0.7.4 — Red Flags hold a train out of your Limits (Gitea#19)
"If played, asked FLAG EAST or FLAG WEST. That stops all trains from entering your limits from that direction (i.e. Flag East holds westbound trains). You can do this if you see a problem or wish to complete switching." REPLACES the old rule outright, per Jesse's call. Red Flags used to be played on a stopped train out on the Mainline and protected it from a rear-ender: offered 4,212 times and played 4 across 600 games, a mechanic nobody used, and ABS Signals already does that job better. The flag is now planted on one side of your own district and holds the next train arriving from that side. SPENT ON THE TRAIN IT STOPS. One card, one train, so there is no lifting action to build, nothing to forget, and a flag cannot quietly strangle the Division. The held train loses one Mainline Phase and comes in on the next — it buys a Stage to clear the lead, which is what "wish to complete switching" asks for. PLAYABLE OUT OF PHASE, which is the other half of the issue: when an arrival would certainly collide and the district's owner holds the card, the phase breaks in and asks. Offered ONLY to somebody holding one — a prompt with a single button is not a choice, and it would leak that a collision is coming. The danger is read from §8.3's own two triggers rather than restated, so the prompt cannot offer a flag against a collision that will not happen. Built on the decision union Gitea#5 introduced: this adds a `redFlag` case and nothing else structural. THE BOT STILL NEVER PLAYS IT, AND I MEASURED RATHER THAN ASSUMED. It now takes the out-of-phase prompt unconditionally — the engine has already established the danger, so there is nothing left to judge — and over 200 solitaire games `redFlagsSet` fires ZERO times. The prompt needs an arrival that would collide (0.14 per game, about one game in seven) to coincide with holding the card from a three-card hand out of 121. So the anomaly exemption in sim.test.ts stays, but its comment no longer claims the bot is unwilling: it is measuring deck luck. What is left to fix is the half of the card a human would use, planting a flag on purpose to buy switching time, and TODO.md now says that instead of the old finding. A BUG WORTH RECORDING, because the next interruption will meet it too: the flag was originally taken down in a `reduce` case, which never fires for an event advance.ts emits — the phase driver mutates state and then describes it. The flag stayed up and held every train that came. test/events.test.ts's unreduced-event registry is what makes that class of mistake visible, and `redFlagSpent` is on it deliberately now, with the reasoning. 858 tests pass.

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. |

v0.4.9 — X,Y coordinates, no-switching can still clear the mainline, Q3 corrected, a clearance bug, three sounds, and the box art
A playtest review of seed 58228926 (day 6), plus one long-standing display complaint and the first real audio beyond a placeholder. - Coordinate labels read X,Y everywhere shown to a player, not the internal Y,X storage order. Display-only. - "No switching" now means may not add or drop cars, not "never touch it" — these trains can still be moved onto Secondary Track to clear the mainline. - Q3 corrected: Expedite governs WHERE a train may be left standing, not WHEN it leaves. The forced same-Stage departure is gone; a new fault costs 1 Revenue if an expedited train is left off the station when a Mainline Phase begins. Resolves "3/4 Express prints a rule it can never use" as a side effect. - evaluateClearance now checks every occupant on a Mainline card before offering a judgment call, instead of returning on whichever it found first — found while explaining a playtest report, fixed with a regression test. - Three new synthesised sounds: arrive, depart, crash. - The splash page shows the box art. Full detail, measurements and reasoning in CHANGELOG.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FvU99NEakShRMg3nN3fHAZ |
