Scoped to everything since the last pass (695307d). The residue of
fast iteration, removed: a reduced-motion media query that had
swallowed a full copy of the .faq-seal rules; doc comments orphaned
from their functions by inserted methods; the FAQ scrape's seams
(section headings run into ruling bodies under the wrong topics, a
next-page heading shipped as a ruling, an amputated "h", and rulings
filed under alphabetically-nearest strangers — Large Rock/Dagger now
lives on those cards; Book of Spells and Torquemada describe no card
in this set and are gone); the write-only aisle flag left behind by
the reverted rev 7; a linter-silenced dead destructure; a duplicated
median lookup; dead casts; and the fallback path that ignored the
apprentice's one-card draw.
Tests now typecheck (tsconfig includes test/), which surfaced the
missing type imports and a drifted creature literal hiding under an
as-cast. Also: a no-op self-assignment, mid-file imports hoisted, a
dynamic-import habit made static, a hedge comment replaced with a
loud setup failure, the fallback-retries-itself dead rung removed
from both bot drivers, and the twin peek scrims merged.
Deliberately kept: the TIERS lookup guard (ledger JSON is untrusted),
the wand-cost stanzas (they differ on the power-attack trade — a
rules question, not a dedup), and rollDie's coexistence with rollD4
(migrating changes visible logs; future work).

The FAQ affordance moves onto the card itself: a small dark seal in
the corner of any card with official rulings, everywhere cards render
— hand, inspector, peek, final reveal, discard pile, card library —
opening the rulings modal on tap (the link, never the text: card
faces stay verbatim card text). The separate inspector buttons and
library chips retire in its favor.
And clicking a library card mid-game no longer summons the App-level
inspector beneath the help modal, greyed out and useless — the
library enlarges its card in its own overlay, centered above the
booklet, seal included.

Long card texts were clamped at nine lines and cut off mid-rule,
which is how the Speed argument started: the deciding sentence was
in the hidden part. The type now sizes itself to the text length in
six steps (0.6rem down to 0.375rem for the 550-char Firefly Stick),
and the line clamp is gone. Verified against Fear, the longest card
in play at 482 characters: every word on the face.

Interrupt and Opportunity Fire were fully playable out of turn — tap
the card while another wizard acts — but nothing said so, and cards
are otherwise inert out of turn, so playtesters never tried. Now,
whenever the moment is live (someone else's turn, no attack or chaos
pending, past round one, not hotseat), those cards wear a pulsing
golden glow in your hand and the rail says to tap one. The glow
respects prefers-reduced-motion.

The design system is the physical set itself, taken from the scans:
card-stock cream, warm ink, and the six wizard marker colors, laid on
a dark leather tabletop. Cards in your hand are now the actual cards —
vertical corner rails (ATTACK / L.O.S. / ADJACENT), condensed gothic
titles, brown body text on cream, number cards as big bordered
numerals with per-value border styles; selecting lifts a card from
the fan. The board matches the physical tiles: ink-outlined white
brick walls on cracked flagstone, plank doors, eight-point home stars
in each wizard's color, swirled treasure discs, warp arrows. The
sidebar is paper: a turn slip, the rulebook's own hand-scrawled
life-points score sheet (Caveat over ruled lines), and a typewritten
chronicle that scrolls itself. The lobby is the box lid. Type:
Oswald condensed display / Archivo Narrow body / Courier Prime log.
Buttons are ink stamps. Board height-caps so board, actions, and the
full hand share one screen; responsive stack below 900px; reduced
motion respected. Verified with live screenshots at 1440x900.
