04ca74c365
The third release from the audit; nothing a player sees changes. CHANGELOG has the detail. The 0.4.9 playtest line is no longer maintained (Jesse, 2026-09-29): the deploy rule that existed for it is gone and #85 is moot. The table test (#39 #35 #42a #40) is closed — every line of the checklist was met at a table. #46 is done and cannot regrow: the 36 unused declarations are removed and `noUnusedLocals`/`noUnusedParameters` are on; two of them were dead bot functions from rejected candidates the round said it had deleted. The documents no longer teach `trainCapSlack` (a knob that throws), point at `as-built.md` (deleted in 0.8.2), model `officeType` (the engine says `tier`) or describe `collisionOccurred` (never emitted); the README's account of bot flags now matches the bot's. Five playtest saves committed in `docs/` against the repository's own rule are in the ignored `playtests/`. What the audit found and did not fix is written down as TODO #112-#117, each with its reason. #112 is `docs/plans/structure.md`, the proposal for `http.ts`, `main.ts` and `check`. #117 — `/api/save` hands a seat the seed mid-game — waits on a conversation.
