v0.4.9g — a caboose is not a load, a Day that says it ended, and a train you may throw away

The v0.7.1 bugfix set ported to the playtest line: Gitea#8, #10, #9 and #2. Reasoning, and what
differs from main, in CHANGELOG.md.

- Gitea#8: X22 Pee-Dee refused every caboose, including the one it was made up with. A caboose
  carries the crew, not freight, so it is never a load.
- Gitea#10: a dialog when the Day rolls over, carrying the standings, the Days left and your Revenue
  against the target with the pace. Suppressed on the first frame, on Undo stepping back across a
  rollover, and on the Day the game ends.
- Gitea#9, superseding Gitea#6 from v0.4.9f: a Timetabled train may be discarded, an Extra may not.
  This line takes the plain rule — main has it as a New Game setting.
- Gitea#2: the shortage stays, by Jesse's ruling. A blocked platform now gives its reason instead of
  simply having no button.

Three things are written for this line rather than ported: the Timetabled discard has no setting and
no URL parameter, the Day-end dialog reads f.objective (this line's per-player target) where main
reads its combined victory dials, and Frame gained the viewer index the dialog needs to mark your
row. 636 tests pass; no published replay was retired.

+## 0.4.9g — 2026-08-25
+
+Four more off the Gitea tracker, all of them things a player saw at the board: **#8** a per-diem train
+that could not couple a caboose, **#10** no way to tell when the Day turned over, **#9** a ruling that
+lets a Timetabled train be thrown away — which supersedes **#6**, shipped three days ago in 0.4.9f —
+and **#2**, which turned out not to be an engine bug at all, so what is fixed there is that the game
+now says why.
+
+The same four ship as **0.7.1** 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#8 — a caboose is not a load
+
+X22 Pee-Dee, whose card reads "may only pick up MTs", refused every caboose — including the one it was
+made up with, so setting it out at the end of a sweep stranded the train. All six cabooses are minted
+`loaded: true`, because §2.2's "coloured is loaded, white is empty" doubles as a PIECE COUNT in the
+supply table and there is no white caboose to make a train up from. Exactly one read of the flag took
+that literally. A caboose carries the crew, not freight, so it is never a load; the restriction itself
+is untouched, and a loaded car alongside the caboose still refuses. The card now says so
+("A caboose is not a load"), because a player reading "EMPTIES ONLY" cannot know which reading the
+game took.
+
+### Gitea#10 — a dialog when the Day rolls over
+
+"Hard to keep track of time." Nothing on screen was wrong — the clock, the turn chart and the
+timetable all said which Day it was — but a Day turns over inside the phases that run themselves, so
+it passes between one click and the next, and the phase banner that announces it is gone in 2.6
+seconds. A modal stops and waits, which is the whole request. It carries the Day that ended, the
+standings in Revenue order, the Days left to run, and your Revenue against the target with the pace.
+
+Suppressed on the first frame (arriving in a game already on Day 3 is not Day 2 ending), on Undo
+stepping back across a rollover, and on the Day the game ends — the outcome panel is the thing to
+read then.
+
+### Gitea#9 — a Timetabled train may be thrown away
+
+**This supersedes Gitea#6 above, which shipped in 0.4.9f three days ago.** Jesse: "Timetabled trains
+are at the choice of the player — they can either play or discard. If someone else wants to pick it
+up, they are more than able to. The reason: I don't want, if you decide to play a game longer than
+five days, to decide that maybe there are too many trains, the stations are jammed, and the railroad
+doesn't need any more. You can toss it. Someone else might disagree and pick it up."
+
+An **Extra** is still never discardable: it never joins the timetable, so it can never be what jams
+it. The second half of the ruling needed no code — a discard already goes face-up onto a Department
+pile, which is exactly where a rival draws from.
+
+**Gitea#6's corner survives, narrowed.** A hand with no discardable card still has exactly one way on
+— play one — with nothing in the engine computing "you must play a train". The hand that reaches it
+is now four Extras rather than any four trains.
+
+### Gitea#2 — why nothing is moving on the platform
+
+"The Sparrow pulled into the station with two loaded coaches. There are two passengers on the
+platform. Four porters. My thought was to unload two and load two. I never get the chance to load the
+last two."
+
+**The engine is not deviating from the rules**, and this was checked step by step against the reported
+save. §9.2 discards the white coach into the Classification Yard on boarding and draws one from the
+Division Yard on de-training; §2.2 returns the Classification Yard only when the Division Yard is
+empty. All three are implemented exactly. What bites is the interaction: both halves of every
+passenger cycle consume coaches one-way, and a single global refill condition over a pile of ~60 cars
+means they do not come back. Over the reported game the coach pool goes 8+/8− on Day 1 to 0+/1− by
+Day 5, with eight coaches stranded in Classification.
+
+**Jesse's ruling is that the shortage stays** — "it is possible to run out, that's part of the
+strategy" — so the three balance options written up in `TODO.md` are declined, not deferred.
+
+What was unambiguously a bug is that the game said **nothing**. A Porter action that cannot be taken
+is simply absent from the menu, and the "why nothing is moving" panel covered freight facilities only,
+so a platform had never had anything to say for itself. It now reports passengers with no train, a
+train whose card bars Porters, full coaches, full red slots, the same-district rule, and the coach
+shortage itself — naming how many coaches sit in Classification and what brings them back. The reason
+text comes from the engine's own predicate, so the panel cannot drift from the rule that refused.
+Fixing the label found a second defect: a Passenger Facility rides on the `office` card, so every
+passenger row would have read `facility 0,0`; it is named by its Office tier now.
+
+### What differs from the main line
+
+- **The Timetabled discard is the plain rule here, not a setting.** On main it is a New Game checkbox
+  (`discardTimetabled`, on by default) because Jesse's reasoning is about games run LONGER than five
+  Days. This line has no settings-form scaffolding and no `?toss=` parameter — a Timetabled train can
+  simply be discarded. Both lines play the same game at main's default. The house rule itself is kept
+  in the engine, unreachable from the page, so `keepReason` is identical on both lines and old saves
+  still replay.
+- **The Day-end dialog's goal half is written for this line's Frame, not ported.** Main reads a
+  COMBINED Revenue floor off its victory dials; this line has no such dials and instead has
+  `objective`, which already resolves a per-player target from the game length and whether you are on
+  pace. The dialog asks `objective` rather than recomputing it, so it cannot disagree with the status
+  block. Its tests were rewritten to match.
+- **`Frame` gained a `viewer` field.** `snapshot` has always taken a viewer and resolved `revenue`,
+  `handCount` and `objective` against it; the index itself was missing, so a panel drawing the whole
+  table had no way to mark which row is yours without assuming the web client's `viewer = 0`.
+- The lobby, the game types and the multiplayer handoff overlay that main's versions of `main.ts`,
+  `play.html` and `web.test.ts` are built around do not exist here, so those four files were
+  hand-resolved rather than patched.
+
+**636 tests pass.** No replay was retired: Gitea#9 only ADDS a legal action, #8 only widens one, and
+neither #10 nor #2 touches the engine, so nothing already recorded means something different now.
+
+---
+
+## 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.
+
+      **RULED 2026-08-25 — the shortage stays, and none of the three is being built.** Jesse: "it is
+      possible to run out, that's part of the strategy." For the record, the options were (a) refill
+      when the Division Yard is dry of the type-and-state being asked for rather than dry of

+      `impediments()` (`src/sim/narrate.ts`) opened with `if (!f || f.kind !== 'freight') continue`,

+      the second half of Gitea#2 and the half that was unambiguously a bug: the player was not merely
+      blocked, he was given no reason — the button simply was not there. A platform now reports
+      passengers with no train, a train the card bars Porters from working, full coaches, full red
+      slots, the same-district rule, and the coach shortage itself — the last naming how many coaches
+      are stranded in Classification and what brings them back. The reason comes from
+      `passengerRefusal`, the engine's own predicate, so the panel cannot drift from the rule that
+      actually refused. Fixing the label found a second defect: a Passenger Facility rides on 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 — which train cards may be discarded
+
+**SUPERSEDED ONCE. Read both rulings; the second narrows the first.**
+
+**Gitea#6, v0.4.9e playtest:** "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 counted: an Extra is a train.
+
+**Gitea#9, 2026-08-24 — the ruling in force:** "Timetabled trains are at the choice of the player:
+they can either play or discard. If someone else wants to pick it up, they are more than able to.
+The reason: I don't want, if you decide to play a game longer than five days, to decide that maybe
+there are too many trains, the stations are jammed, and the railroad doesn't need any more. You can
+toss it. Someone else might disagree and pick it up."
+
+So the rule is now:
+
+- a **Timetabled** train may be discarded;
+- an **Extra** may not. It never joins the timetable, so it can never be what jams it, and the only
+  rule it would dodge by being thrown away is the hand limit;
+- **on `main` the Timetabled half is a New Game setting** (`discardTimetabled`, on by default),
+  because Jesse's reasoning is explicitly about LONG games and a five-Day game may well want
+  Gitea#6's pressure. The 0.4.9 playtest line has no scaffolding for a setting and takes the plain
+  rule. Both lines behave identically at their defaults.
+
+**"Someone else might disagree and pick it up" needed no machinery.** A discard already goes face-up
+onto a Department pile, and a Department pile is exactly what a rival draws from. The second half of
+the ruling was already built; only the first half was a change.
+
+§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 both of these are rulings rather than gaps — the prototype rules do
+not address it either way.
+
+### It needs no forcing mechanism, and that is the point
+
+The interesting property of the rule is that the forced play falls out of two rules that already
+exist rather than needing a third:
+
+1. an undiscardable card 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 undiscardable 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: such a hand offers zero discards, no
+`draw.end`, and four plays.
+
+**Gitea#9 does not retire that corner, it narrows the way in.** With the setting on, the only hand
+that reaches it is four Extras; with the setting off it is any four trains, exactly as before.
+
+### One place decides, and the card says which rule refused
+
+`keepReason` (`src/engine/apply.ts`) returns the sentence a player should read, or `null` if the card
+may be discarded. `check`, the hand panel and the blocked "End Local Operations" button all ask it,
+so none of them can drift from the rule. It returns a SENTENCE rather than a boolean because there
+are now two distinct reasons — "an Extra is never discarded" and "not in this game" — and a panel
+that hard-codes one of them tells half the players the wrong thing. It reaches the page as the
+Frame's `handKeepWhy`.
+
+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.
