v0.7.5 — solitaire asks before it deals, the same way multiplayer already does

A new #solitairesetup screen in play.html asks the full shared game-options
block — type, starting hand, Extra start, revenue, victory conditions,
optional rules — before a genuinely fresh visit deals a game. A saved game,
an explicit ?seed=, or a URL a Deal already wrote all skip past it, same as
?lobby already skips the front doors on an invite link.

The in-game dialog, the lobby and this screen now share one
wireGameTypeBlock()/commitNewGame() pair instead of the dialog carrying its
own copy of the questions.

859 tests pass. Not yet played in a browser.

+- **The Mainline Phase can stop and ask, and there are three questions it asks.** §8.1's clearance
+  ruling goes to the Superintendent; the Yard Office offer and the Red Flag prompt go to the owner of
+  the district a train is arriving at. `pendingDecision` is a discriminated union and `decisionActor`
+  is the single place that maps a question to whoever must answer it — a new question adds a case
+  there and nowhere else. **Ask before the move is committed:** returning `needsClearance` unwinds
+  the whole phase and the driver re-enters from the top, so anything already mutated is applied
+  twice or left half-done.
+- **A game ends by PAUSING, and the first ending is the real one.** Running out of Days, or closing
+  short of the combined Revenue floor, puts the game in `awaitingExtension` rather than `finished`:
+  the table is asked whether to play one more Day, unanimously, and asked again at the end of every
+  Day it grants. `state.official` is written at the first ending and never rewritten, so the winner
+  is always the one decided at `config.days` however long play carries on — `config.days` itself
+  never moves, and `state.extraDays` counts the borrowed ones. A §3.4 collision breach is the
+  exception and finishes outright, during an extended Day exactly as during the scheduled game.
+  Because a save is a replay, the vote is an intent (`game.extend`), and it is the one intent that
+  **carries its own player**: every seat may vote in any order, so a replay cannot derive who did.
+- **Statistics are folded, not recorded.** `state.tally` counts what the event stream says happened —
+  trains through the Division and how many of them did any switching, loads made up and broken — and
+  is hooked
+  at the two boundaries every event crosses exactly once, `applyIntent` and `advance`. It is not
+  hooked in `reduce`, which never sees the phase driver's events at all. Nothing in the rules reads
+  it, so adding a counter is always safe; it rides the `Frame`, so a multiplayer client gets the same
+  numbers as solitaire from one implementation. **What it cannot count is anything the events do not
+  say.** `trainStoodStill` fires once per game for the X18 Circus alone, so "the longest an engine sat
+  on a siding" has no signal behind it — see `TODO.md` #36 rather than assuming an event means what
+  its name suggests.
+- **A game is one of four TYPES, and a type is a set of defaults rather than a ruleset.** Co-op,
+  Competitive, Cutthroat and Solitaire (`src/web/presets.ts`) each name an opening hand, an Extra
+  rule, three revenue rates and the victory conditions; picking one fills the form, and changing any
+  of them selects **Custom**, which keeps the scoring of the type it came from. The type is *derived*
+  from the numbers rather than stored, so a saved game carries no name that can disagree with what it
+  actually is. Both screens that deal a game — the lobby and the New Game dialog — ask the same
+  eleven questions through one shared block (`src/web/settings-form.ts`), because for two releases
+  they each had a question the other lacked. What separates the types: Co-op alone pays for a
+  transit, Cutthroat alone lets an Extra be planted in another player's district and has no shared
+  failure condition at all beyond three collisions in a Day, and the Revenue floor is a formula in
+  the table size and the length (3 per player per Day in Co-op, 2 in Competitive) rather than a
+  number.
+- **Track is a deck card, but the opening district is dealt.** Track is the largest category in the

+## Heavy Grade orientation is settled, not missing
+
+Heavy Grade orientation is rolled from the seed rather than chosen by a player. **This is a decision, not a gap, and it is not awaiting a player-selection step.**
+
+The card prints “(Up)” and “Player sets orientation”, which assumes the card has an owner. This one does not: `buildDivision` lays the Division as `DP · Mainline · Office · Mainline · … · DP`, so a Heavy Grade always sits **between two districts**, or beyond an end Division Point next to one — never inside a single player’s own district.
+
+Orientation is not cosmetic: Brakeman and Airbrakes each take a Stage off a train running **downhill**, Helpers takes one off a train running **uphill**, and odd-numbered trains run west while even run east. Turning the card around therefore decides which of those modifier cards are worth anything and which direction of traffic is favoured — permanently, for the whole game. Handing that to one of the two neighbours advantages them over the other, and no player has a fair claim to it.

+**Re-opened and closed again on 2026-08-23**, when the option of giving the choice to the Superintendent was considered and rejected. Jesse’s call: v0.5.0’s ruling stands. Rolling from the seed is deterministic, roughly even (51/49 east/west over 400 games), identical for solitaire and multiplayer, and keeps setup non-interactive — the game has no setup phase, so the question would have to interrupt play before the first Local Operations, in the minority of games that deal the card at all (20% at one player, rising to 50% at four).

+## §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 — 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.

 industries get more Laborers and a 4-car track so the types feel distinct when choosing what to
 build — but the counts stay moderate because Laborers are **not** the binding constraint (see 10e),

+# Playtest saves
+
+Save files that came in with a bug report, or that were kept from a session worth re-reading.
+
+**Nothing in here is committed** — `.gitignore` keeps the directory empty as far as git is
+concerned, except for this file. They are somebody's game, not part of the project, and they go
+stale the moment the rules move.
+
+## What a save is
+
+A seed and the list of moves made — a few hundred bytes of JSON. That is enough to rebuild the
+whole game, which is why a replay can be emailed like a text file. Written by **Save replay** on the
+play screen; a multiplayer game's copy lives on the server, under its data directory.
+
+## How to open one
+
+Open `replays.html` on the site (or a local `npm run serve:web`) and use **Open a save file** at the
+bottom of the page — it takes a file straight off disk, no upload anywhere. Step through it frame by
+frame to find the position being reported.
+
+A save replays only under the rules it was dealt with; every save records them, and one written
+before a rules change may stop part-way. That is expected, and it is why these are kept beside a
+report rather than in the repository.
+
+## Publishing one
+
+A replay worth keeping for everyone goes in `public/replays/` instead, where the build publishes it
+into the site's replay directory with an index entry.

+ * The event tally — Gitea#16's statistics, folded from the event stream into `GameState.tally`.
+ *
+ * WHERE IT IS HOOKED, and why it is not in `reduce`. `apply.ts`'s `reduce` sees only the events an
+ * INTENT produced; `advance.ts` mutates state directly and pushes its events without reducing them
+ * at all — and `advance` is where `trainCompleted`, `trainsDestroyed` and `trainStoodStill` come
+ * from, which are exactly the numbers this issue asks for. So the fold is hooked at the two places
+ * every event in the game passes through exactly once on its way to a caller:
+ *
+ *   - `applyIntent` (`apply.ts`), beside its `reduce` loop;
+ *   - `advance` (`advance.ts`), which now wraps the phase driver and folds what it returns.
+ *
+ * Exactly once matters in both directions: an event folded twice inflates a count, and an event
+ * folded nowhere is a statistic that silently reads zero. `test/tally.test.ts` pins both by playing
+ * real games and checking the tally against an independent count over the same event array.
+ *
+ * NOTHING HERE IS A RULE. The tally is read by the results screen and by the badge work Gitea#16
+ * leaves to a second pass; no engine decision consults it. That is what makes adding a counter
+ * always safe.
+ *
+ * WHAT IS NOT COUNTED PER PLAYER, and why. `carsCoupled` and `carsDropped` carry a `trayId` and no
+ * `player` — switching is done BY a crew, and the event says which crew rather than which person.
+ * Rather than guess an owner from whose turn it happened to be, those two are table totals only.

- * Everything in `#lobby` (`play.html`) is owned here: the join-secret gate, creating or joining a
- * game by code, and the seating screen up to `Lobby.Start`. `main.ts` calls `runLobby` once, at
- * `start()`, only when there is no stored session to reconnect with — see `main.ts`'s own comment
- * on why a stored `{token, gameId, seat}` skips this module entirely.
+ * Everything in `#lobby` (`play.html`) is owned here: the join-secret gate, the two doors (join a
+ * game, create one), the read-only preview a player reads BEFORE taking a seat, and the seating
+ * screen up to `Lobby.Start`.
+ *
+ * WHAT CHANGED, and why each one was worth changing:
+ *   - JOINING CAME FIRST. It used to be a heading below the whole create form — fifteen fields a
+ *     player who was handed a code has no use for.
+ *   - A SEAT SURVIVES A RELOAD. The token was held in a closure and only written to `localStorage`
+ *     at `Lobby.Start`, so a refresh before the host started orphaned the chair: the player could
+ *     not get back and the seat could not be freed. `onSeated` hands it to `main.ts` immediately.
+ *   - THERE IS A WAY OUT. `/api/lobby/leave` frees a seat, so a mis-join or a player who wanders off
+ *     no longer wedges a table that cannot start until every chair is taken.
+ *   - THE STREAM CAN FAIL OUT LOUD. `onmessage` was the only handler; a dropped connection left the
+ *     seating screen frozen and silent.
+ *   - THE RULES ARE VISIBLE TO EVERYONE, not just the host who typed them.
  *
  * MIRRORS SERVER TYPES RATHER THAN IMPORTING THEM, same choice `web/session.ts` already made for
  * `Push`: this file must never depend on anything under `src/server/`, even at the type level, since

+/**
+ * THE FOUR GAME TYPES, and what "Custom" means.
+ *
+ * Jesse's design, 2026-08-23. A game type is not a mode and not a ruleset — it is a NAMED SET OF
+ * DEFAULTS that the host may then edit. Editing any of them selects `custom`, which keeps the
+ * values and inherits the scoring of the type it was edited away from; clicking a named type again
+ * resets every rule back to it.
+ *
+ * WHY THIS FILE EXISTS RATHER THAN A CONSTANT IN EACH SCREEN. The lobby (`lobby.ts`) and the
+ * solitaire New Game dialog (`main.ts`) ask the same questions, and they had already drifted apart
+ * before this was written: the dialog had "where an Extra may start" and no optional rules, the
+ * lobby had the optional rules and no Extra rule — so a multiplayer game silently played the most
+ * permissive Extra rule and nobody was ever asked. One description of the defaults, imported by
+ * both, is what stops that happening a third time.
+ *
+ * PARAMETERS ARE NOT SETTINGS. Seed, player count and Day count sit ABOVE the type radios on both
+ * screens and never select `custom`: the presets are formulas in players and days, so "Co-op, 3
+ * players, 8 days" is still Co-op and its Revenue floor re-derives. Everything below the radios is
+ * a rule, and changing one is what makes a game Custom.

+ *
+ *   - the OFFICIAL result is decided at the original game length and never changes. "In a five-day
+ *     game, even if it's extended to eight or nine days, the winner and the official answer is the

+ *   - only days-based endings offer it. A §3.4 collision breach is final, during an extended Day
+ *     just as during the regular game.
+ *
+ * The persistence half matters as much as the rules half: a save is `{ seed, config, history }`
+ * replayed through the engine, so an extension that is not an INTENT does not survive a reload, an
+ * Undo, or a server restart. `replays the extension` below is the test that pins that.
