"If this spell is REFLECTed, both players take 1/2 point of damage per
space moved" (WALKING DEAD); "In case of REFLECTION, both players are
affected" (IDIOT); SLOW DEATH follows REFLECTION's own rule that a
spell works for both parties. A permanent curse has no duration for
the reflection's split to halve, so the caster went untouched; the
curse is now laid on them as well, as if cast back. Older games replay
as they were; PRPM, reflected at seq 108 with no move since, was
re-stamped to 24 at its table's request.

The shared replay page had no rules for a narrow screen: the reel's
header stacked into a column, the caption ran large, and the controls
ran off the right edge. Under 640px the title takes its own line with
the count and buttons beneath, the caption reads smaller, and the
controls wrap. The share page also pins its text size against
Safari's inflation.

On a laptop the right column scrolls in place, and the turn banner,
the coaching, and the scoresheet pushed the casting panel — where an
attack is answered and a number is played for movement — below the
fold, showing as a sliver. The panel now leads the column while a card
is aimed or a blow answered, and a number's "Play for +N movement"
also stands in the dock beneath the board.

The lobby tells a challenger what to expect in the table's own voice:
the keeper answers every raven, sometimes within the minute, sometimes
after a night's sleep; the seat is held either way, and the table is
theirs meanwhile. A Create or Join tried before the socket is open
used to vanish; it now says the table is still being reached.

"Challenge Kestrel, the keeper" holds a seat under the keeper's name,
writes the call to the ledger, says so at the table, and raises a
Sentry issue fingerprinted to the room — one ring per call, with the
room's link in the message — which is the alarm the keeper's phone
listens for. The keeper answers by the link: taking the seat, and
leaving a word if the game must wait. For that word, and for any table
to settle when to start, the lobby now shows its talk and carries a
composer; a joiner sees what was said before they sat. Three calls per
address per hour, one per room.

A returning player's slip now lists what happened while they were away
— "Automaton took your treasure.", "You lost 3 life.", "It's your
turn." — each fact opening the catch-up reel at its moment, read from
the missed steps as the server redacted them for that seat; when
nothing touched them it says what each wizard was up to instead. The
reel gains a timeline: a tick per move in the mover's color, taller
where a turn begins, a blow lands, or gold changes hands, and any tick
jumps the reel there.
The chronicle takes a filter — All, Game, Table talk — with an unread
count on the talk that arrived while the casting panel covered it (a
wizard's own words never count), a peek at the latest line above the
composer while the panel is up, and the composer itself no longer
leaves when a response is owed.

POWER DRAIN's gain is the number played, BLUNTed or ABSORBed or not
(FAQ: the counter blunts the damage done, not the drain), and a wall
drained for its points gives them up too. Older games gave only what
the opponent lost and nothing from a wall, and replay so.
"This rock-hard beast can punch a player (or a wall, etc.)": a commanded
troll now punches a wall line beside it for a D4, once a turn — a new
command, so no old game changes.
Under the first-person pane the board strip could run into the dock on

A teleporter ignores walls, and the outer edge is no more than a wall
to it: a line leaving the maze at any square's edge re-enters at the
opposite edge on the same row or column, one space on. The lettered
openings connect as they always did. Older games crossed the edge only
at the openings, and replay so; U3U2, dealt at rev 21 with no teleport
yet cast, was re-stamped to 22 at its table's request.

The board's controls had three homes: zoom in the corner, the eyes
toggle floating above it, and the turn's actions wrapping into rows
beneath. Now a toolbar hugs the board's top — First-person at the
left; − · level · + · Fit at the right — and a dock sits beneath it in
three groups: what the square offers, the tools (punch a wall, hints,
discard) set quieter, and draw beside End turn pinned at the right.
While a card is aimed the dock leads with the decision in a line —
"Choose a destination · lit squares are within 4 · ends your movement"
— and a cancel, so the lit squares always say what they mean. The
panel beside the board keeps the card and the full account, now with
the instruction first and discarding demoted to a quiet last resort.
A phone keeps the offers and End turn in view and its tools behind
More. With the hand at the left, the columns grow with the cards so
they no longer overlap.

Each resolved attack now folds a receipt under its line, read off the
engine's own record: the blow as it came in, what each counter left of
it in the order they were weighed, what landed, and whose life moved.
The resolution event carries the incoming damage and duration and the
trail of counters for it. Hotseat chronicles carry the same.
The line a cast was accepted on stayed on the board: its timer compared
a reactive proxy to the object it held. Kept raw, it clears.
The board jumped while walking. The "sending" note added a line beside
End turn and took it away again, and the refusal toast stood in the
flow above the table for five seconds; both now float and move
nothing.
Teleport reaches through the lettered openings in the engine, but the
board dimmed the squares beyond them. The eligibility map follows the
warps as the engine does.

The attack on the stack has always shown its line; a creation or a
curse resolved in the same breath showed nothing, so a legal aim
through a Visionstone and out a lettered opening (PPL7, move 309)
looked like a cheat. The line a cast was accepted on — plain, through
the one wall a VISIONSTONE dissolves, or AROUND THE CORNER's two legs —
now draws on the live board for a few seconds and on that move of any
reel, traced after the fact so the cast's own dust cloud cannot blind it.

Connection: while the socket is down a notice says so, the hand, board,
and action buttons go quiet, a card left selected stays selected, and
table talk stays in its box. A command that could not leave is named
as not sent; one that left before the drop is named as unconfirmed
until the board answers. A command on its way shows as sending beside
End turn and confirms when the table replies. Talk shows as sending
until the table echoes it, and comes back to the composer if the
socket drops first.
Rematch: anyone at a finished table may call one. The server makes a
new room hosted by the caller, with the same clockwork at the same
tiers and moods (a mystery stays a mystery) and the same expansion
setting, and keeps seats for the last table's other wizards, who find
the call on the finished table and in their lobby ledger and sit with
one click. The old table's replay stays where it was. A solo table
against the clockwork keeps "play again".
Reading the table: an ongoing spell's chip opens its card with a plain
account — what it does, who cast it on whom, and when it ends, in the
rulebook's own terms. Each score row counts the treasures a wizard has
carried home, and marks a wizard one carry from winning.

A THORNBUSH or ROSEBUSH "will be destroyed" by five points of damage,
and the FAQ lets only fire hurt a KILLER OOZE; the table refused every
attack aimed at one. An attack tapped onto a bush or ooze now lands on
it, the damage accumulating across attackers and turns, and the
fifth point clears the square. A WIZARDBLADE is swung from the square

"Gather your wizards" leads, with the room code and the seat count
beneath it. The roster is the picture: each seat's portrait, name, and
role, an empty seat showing what fills it, and beneath it the two ways
to fill one — copy the invite link, add a computer wizard — with the
raw URL folded away for pasting by hand. Your own row carries the
wizard picker, a deliberate three-by-two with a check on the chosen
one, open by itself until you have a wizard. Adding a computer wizard
is a panel with difficulty and personality, a line on what the chosen
personality does, and one explicit button. Readiness and Start sit
together at the bottom: "Waiting for one more wizard" above the
button, "Start game · 2 wizards" once it can flip; the expansion
option is nearby and quiet, and abandoning the room is a small link.

The rules tab is one body — the condensed rules, the rulebook, the
expansion, and the FAQ — with a contents list, a search that labels
each hit by source, and a link on every section. The rulebook's
emphasis renders, and the (6E: …) notes are set apart from the original
words. The card library gains filters for set, type, and target, ranks
an exact name first, counts its results, and says so when there are
none; a card opens as an entry: the card itself beside reading-size
text with the printed wording, deck counts, the official FAQ, this
table's rulings, and links to the cards it names. The house rulings are
organized by card, in the present tense, with the revision history kept
off the page. Every page and card has a link (/?help=rules/…, /?card=…)
that opens the desk to it, and the desk reopens on the tab, search, and
scroll position it was closed at.
About leads with the worn box and the friends, shows the workshops as a
small gallery with a direct link to the demo reel, and says plainly
what an online ledger keeps and what a passed-around device keeps to
itself. The tally leads with finished games, treasure and combat wins,
and hours played, and explains that wizards are counted by name and
table time by the clock between moves.
Escape closes only the foremost layer and returns focus to the card
that opened it; the tabs wrap on a phone instead of clipping.

- Help said "walk, then act"; the rules let moves and cards come in any
order, and now the help does too.
- The council's advice is derived from the live view while its panel is
open, so a Number just played for movement is no longer recommended.
It rests when the turn is not yours; "ask again" had nothing to add.
- The landing puts the name and the ways in before the clip, and beside
it on a desktop: at 1280x720 the play button and Create/Join are above
the fold.
- The replay page opens with the same deed the share card promises, and
"play free" stands beside the reel instead of after the history.
- In hotseat the "pass the device" scrim stood above the roll-off, so the

An audit of every card in the deck, prompted by the Alter Ego, found
two more whose cast worked but whose promise was never kept.
LIFESAVER — "immune to the effects of losing both of your treasures"
— was cast and remembered and never asked where a wizard is
eliminated for exactly that; twenty-three recorded casts never
mattered. FORCE FIELD stopped the spell and vanished, though the card
keeps it standing until the opponent's turn ends, barring them from
entering its caster's square or casting on or past them. Both are
honored from rev 21, the field on every side where the card says one.
Older games replay as they were played. Tests pin both readings.

Randy raised his double, selected it, and could cast nothing through
it: the card's whole point — "it may use any of the spells in your
hand, and you need not be in its L.O.S." — had never been wired. A
cast may now name the double, and the double's square becomes the
spell's origin: sight, reach, the launch point the reel films, and
the direction a knockback or rout pushes. The hand, the attack, and
every answer to it stay the caster's. Spells that move the caster's
own body — a goat's charge, a swap — do not travel through it. On the
board, the double's sight lights the eligible squares; selecting the
double and then a card aims from where it stands. A test hides the
caster and fires through the double.
The first-stride caption sat on the maze and hid the walls beside the
wizard; it now stands above the board with a color chip for "you."

On a desktop the game grid is now exactly the window's height. The
board and the paper rail share the top row, the rail scrolling in
place, and the hand with its End turn sit pinned beneath — nothing a
first turn needs is ever below the fold. The board's window fills
whatever height the row allows instead of a fixed subtraction. A
wide, short window — a laptop in landscape — stands the hand beside
the board on its own until the player chooses a side, since a tall
maze under a bottom hand left a postage stamp. A short window shrinks
the bottom hand's cards a little. The eyes toggle floats over the
board's corner so it costs no height, and the masthead's "invite
friends" hides on phones where it wrapped.

The landing says the pitch before it asks for a name — steal treasure,
blast through walls, outwit your friends — and states the goal. The
coach says "select a card, then choose its target," which is what the
cards actually want. The turn banner counts treasures home beside the
moves left. The council speaks once when its three voices agree. A
friend arriving on an invite link meets "Join Eric's game," a name
field, and a seat, with the gallery an afterthought; the masthead
says "invite friends" beside the room code. The first-person view has
a toggle beside the board instead of a checkbox in preferences. How
to play opens with winning. And a shared moment's card is titled by
the turn's story — the treasure carried home, the blow that landed,
the spell cast — instead of whose turn it was.

Under it the board plays no flourishes, the reel skips its die

The last of the inked look. Walls carry stone joints and highlights,
doors their grain, hinges, and a brass lock plate whose keyhole turns
to a cross when jammed; battle scars fracture and branch with the
damage; illusion walls drift as tapered wisps with breathing glints;
the wall of fire burns in flat three-tone flames on a stepped flicker;
warp mouths and destinations are painted curls. Through a wizard's
eyes the punch is a three-tone hand with an ink contour and a
hand-cut POW, the same on every platform where the emoji glyph was

Kestrel stood against a wall Mad Hywel turned to water, was washed one
square back into stone, and was crushed twice. The sweep walked the
way it pushed: having shoved him onto the next square, its next probe
found him there and shoved him again with the force left. From rev 20
a sweep names every victim along its line first, then pushes each
once; older games replay the double shove. A test washes a wizard one
square into a wall under both readings.
With it, a client fix: a tap on a bare square while holding a card no
longer walks there. Kestrel tapped a slime with LIGHTNING BLAST in hand
and strode into it. The tap now says the card is aimed at a wizard or

Three strangers this week pressed play, looked at the board for a

card, a column of prose, seven strange cards, and nothing that said
where they were or what to tap. Now, on a browser's first game, the
squares a stride can reach glow and the rest of the maze falls into
shadow, with one line hung over the wizard for the first stride. The
turn banner says what winning is for the first two rounds. And when
the clockwork rolls first, its opening turn waits behind the roll-off
card instead of playing out unwatched, then arrives a beat at a time.
The step light switches off once that first game is won, and lives in

stone three rows away. The cloud blocked only sight lines passing

one, though a spell upon oneself still works, and VISIONSTONE does
not see through dust. From rev 19 the engine's sight and the view's —

Kestrel stood beside a pit dug against the board's west edge, walls
north and south of it, and was told there was nothing to land on — the
rim check counted only neighbouring squares, and the warp mouth beyond
the pit is not one. From rev 17 a mouth on the rim is an exit like any
square, named at a fork like any other; every older game takes the
mouth when no square offers, so the refused crossing goes through as
it stands. The jump through a mouth carries `via: "warp"`: the board
shimmers both mouths instead of streaking across the maze, and the
reel cuts rather than gliding. The automaton leaves a pit only by its
exits. Three tests walk the rim under both readings.

Idle rooms already went back to their ledgers, but a boot replayed
every ledger before the first sweep could put them to bed again — most
of a restart's fifteen seconds spent rebuilding games nobody was at.
A room put to sleep now leaves a stub beside the ledgers, with the
ledger's size at that moment; at boot a stub whose size still matches
answers for the room and the ledger stays unreplayed. Replayed rooms
take their eviction clock from the ledger's last line, so the first

Two-thirds of a ledger replay was structuredClone; a recursive copy of
plain data does the same work in a fraction of the time, so a server
boot — every ledger replayed — is half as long, and the automaton's
lookahead is quicker with it. Caddy now holds a request for up to
thirty seconds while the game restarts, dialing every quarter second,
so a visitor who lands during a deploy waits instead of meeting a 502.

The shortest walk on this turn's legs, no ceiling, MAD DASH doubling

Reuben, a goat with a 5 played and eight legs, aimed at a wizard eight
corridor steps away and was told he had no wings. The charge measures
the walk through real corridors, as rev 10 made it, but the walk was
searched only six steps deep and anything past that came back as
unreachable. From rev 16 the search runs as far as the legs do; older
games keep the six-step reading. A test charges seven or eight steps
under both revisions.

Sentry WIZWAR-5: a table open through a deploy asked for the replay
module by its old hashed name, the deploy had deleted it, and the
server answered with the app shell as text/html — "not a valid
JavaScript MIME type". Three guards: deploys keep old chunks for a
week instead of deleting them; a missing asset is a plain 404, never
the shell; and the client reloads once when Vite reports a failed
import, so the live bundle takes over.

Eric, a giant on his first turn, could only shove a wizard in a
straight line: the engine shoved in the giant's own direction or
refused. The FAQ says otherwise — "If Big Man pushes someone to an
intersection, then the other player gets to decide which direction to
go." Now a pushed wizard leaves by any open side but the way the giant
came. One open side is taken. Several are theirs to choose: the stride
hangs in a pushPending window like the Ward's, the pushed wizard
answers with pushChoice (a dialog offers the ways; an automaton steps
out of the giant's line), and the stride resumes with the answer — a
blinded giant's roll is not rolled twice.
Rounding a corner was a refusal before, so every game may do it now.
Only the case that used to resolve — straight ahead open — keeps its
old reading in games dealt before rev 15; from rev 15 the pushed
wizard chooses there too. Tests pin the corner, the fork's window and
its refusals, and the older reading; 84 ledgers replay.

The table's reading of CREATE PIT: a thin ledge runs around the rim,
and "jumping over" is edging along it, trying not to fall. So on a 2,
3, or 4 the walker lands on an open square beside the pit — the only
one if there is one, otherwise the one they name (a click on that
square sends `exit` with the move) — and a pit with no way off cannot
be entered from there at all, refused before any die is rolled. The
FAQ's diagonal crossing at an intersection is this rule.
Older games bounced the walker back and charged the stride; they keep
that under their frozen revision, so GDCN's seven bounces replay. The
clockwork's path search treats a pit as a road when any side of its
rim is open and names the exit its path leaves by. Tests pin the fork,
the single way off, the closed pit under both revisions, and the
brain's route.

Kestrel's archmage berserker dug a pit at the far mouth of a warp,
then tried to walk through that mouth seven times: each stride landed
on its own pit with a thornbush beyond, the maze bounced it back and
charged the stride, and on the seventh it rolled the 1 and fell in.
Cursed with SLOW DEATH at seven life, it kept drawing two cards a
turn at a point apiece, raised a SHADOW that drinks a point a turn,
and bled to death in three turns.
The path search now refuses a pit it cannot leap beyond — the same
test the maze applies — whether the pit is a waypoint or the goal.
Under SLOW DEATH the end-of-turn draw keeps four life in hand and
draws nothing when it cannot; while bleeding, or at six life or less,
no SHADOW is raised. Three tests pin them.
The chronicle tells the bounce as what it was: "leaps the pit —
nothing to land on beyond it — and teeters back", not a blind blunder
into a wall; and the shadow's last drink no longer trails a zero-damage
line. Brain and chronicle changes only, ungated; 83 ledgers replay.

For visitors: the landing shows a clip card of the maze before asking
for a name; "Play now against a clockwork wizard" is one tap from the
landing to the first turn (the room, the seat, and the flip each
follow as the server confirms the last); pass-the-device and seat
transfer fold behind "More ways to play".
For a first game: automatons default to apprentice until this browser
has seen a game through, then step up to adept unless the tier was
picked by hand; the council speaks once unasked on a first turn; a
finished game offers "play again" (the same bots re-seated in a fresh
room) and "share the tale" (the whole replay as a link).
For players who know the box: a House rulings tab in help — what the
digital table does differently, every rulings revision (now exported
from the engine as RULES_REVISIONS, which the deckRev doc block points
at), and the 76 cards the FAQ has spoken on. And the arrow keys and
WASD walk on the board as they already did in the first-person pane.
The recorder's poster settle lengthens to outlast a change-of-eyes

Two newcomers on announcement day left within minutes at the same
moment: they picked up a treasure, the turn's actions ended as the
rules say, every walk after that was refused, and the status line's
"turn spent" told them nothing about why or what the treasure was for.
Both had stalled over a minute before their first move as well.
Now: on a first turn, a coaching slip says what a turn is — walk this
many squares, a NUMBER card walks farther, tap a card to cast, End
turn — dismissed once with "got it" and remembered in prefs. After a
pickup, the status line says the pickup ended the actions and the
treasure comes along, and to end the turn and carry it home. While
carrying on later turns, a slip names whose treasure it is, how far
home is, and that two scored wins; your own treasure scores nothing
in your arms.

Two blind reviews of everything since the last pass (afa0e17), every
finding checked against the code, no behavior changed: all thirty
scene goldens match without a re-bless and the engine suite is
untouched.
Reel and renderer: the camera's look-down rule is stated once, beside
LOOK_DOWN, instead of twice in the effect; the empty aim branch that
stood where a cutaway used to be is gone (the guard it implied is now
explicit); the pit events and the punch are handled by their own
types, not through "in" casts; smoothstep is one export used by every
tween instead of eleven inline copies; the two floor rings share one
painter; project() takes a Billboard instead of a third hand-typed
copy of its fields; the strides-left figure and the web rim no longer
shadow the reel's steps and the pane's fx; the die card's verdict is
built from events, not by matching an emoji; the workshop asks for the
hover cue by name instead of passing an empty click handler.
Server and engine: one requestBase() for the origin, one slug pattern
in store.ts gating both the clip page and its files, one 404 for both;
LOOPBACK sits above its only caller; doCounteract names what a counter
is played against once; fearCells sits beside its own docblock rather
than between sightedCellsFor and its.
Deploy: chromiumExe, the private server, ffmpeg, and the reel rewind
live in deploy/lib/harness.mjs, shared by the gate, the recorder, and
the card cutter instead of pasted three times; the recorder drops its
duplicate frame counters and names its poster settle; the card uses the
gallery's exact gold; the one-time Sentry URL bootstrap leaves
deploy.sh; the backup comment states the rule rather than the incident.

Three sysadmin items ahead of the public announcement's arrivals.
deploy/wizwar-rollup.sh writes one JSON line per UTC day to
/var/lib/wizwar/rollup.jsonl at 00:10: yesterday's traffic from Caddy's
access log (requests, human vs bot addresses as counts only, socket
connects, path mix, external referrers), the table's growth (new
rooms, human seats and names, lifetime game totals, reports and
replies), and the box's vitals (service memory and peak, disk, load,
protocol errors, service starts, ledger size). Re-rolling a day
replaces its line. It checks in to a Sentry cron monitor of its own,
whose URL deploy.sh derives from the backup monitor's on first
install, alongside the cron entry. The pulse gains a Trends section
that reads the last week of it. Caddy keeps 30 log files instead of 5
as the raw backing.
Per-address limits on the two doors anyone may use unseated: 12 new
rooms and 6 reports per address per hour, in a sliding window keyed by
the address Caddy forwards. The per-connection cap stays; it reset on
reconnect, which is what a script would do.

Eric grabbed a warded treasure and took the Ward's three points — but
the attack modal showed a bare-knuckled punch, the hint line said the
owner "attacks with a punch", and the cast panel called it a physical
blow with no card behind it. The engine knew better: the stack has
carried sourceName ("warded treasure") since rev 9, and the damage
line used it. The client never read it.
Now every cardless stack with a name shows that name — and, for the
Ward, the Ward card itself — in the modal, the hint line, and the
cast panel, with the damage inbound. In the chronicle, a counteraction
played against it records "warded treasure" rather than "punch", and
an EMPATHY echo of it names the same. Chronicle-only, ungated; all 58

Springing the Trap never showed its fireball: Rival stepped into the
watched corridor facing the way he walked, and the ambush's fireball
flew in from the mouth behind him while only the caption told of it.
The director now aims at incoming magic and punches — the caster's or
attacker's square, straight or through a mouth — and a stride that
ends with something to watch turns once more after the walk, the
slate holding the outcome until the eyes face it. The fireball comes
through the wormhole at the camera, then the blow lands.
The trap's first beat re-blessed for it.

The Warp Sniper cut to another angle the moment the fireball landed,
though the caster could see the whole thing: the director counted a
warp mouth before the target as blocked sight. Sight threads warps as
the rules say, and now the camera does too. director.sightline finds
the heading that actually sees a point — straight, or through a mouth
by aiming at the target's position in the far room and asking whether
the bent ray reaches it — and both the aim and the turn-toward-the-
actor rules use it. Only a point no ray reaches earns the cutaway.
Warp Sniper's second beat re-blessed: Wanderer's eyes now find Rival
through the mouth as the turn passes to him.

A day of Eric watching the clips as a newcomer would.
The camera can pitch: FirstPerson takes a `pitch` that shears the
horizon up the pane (walls center on it, the eye stays half a wall
high), so the ground at the pane's foot comes within half a cell. The
director uses it for deeds at your own feet — a conjuration on your
square, a treasure taken up, the pit you fell down — instead of the
cutaway that stepped outside your body.
Everything shows through a warp. The floor pass now runs between the
cast and the wall draw, so a column that bent through a mouth maps its
ground through the warp's rigid motion and wears the far room's decals
— the pit past the wormhole included — under the same violet haze as
its walls.
A wizard down a pit is public (inPit on the player view), drawn sunk to
the floor line in first person and dimmed on the board. A body sharing
your square, which had no depth to draw at, stands right in front of
you. A pit leap glides like a shove instead of cutting. And the
director's blocked-sight test no longer counts a warp BEYOND the
target as a block, nor stands a cutaway camera inside another wizard's
square — the pair that put Wanderer's face across the whole pane.
The reel stops for a die: a card over the held world names who rolls
and for what, tumbles the faces on the reel's own clock, lands the
roll, and only then plays the outcome; the beat, the fx, the glides
and the camera all wait it out. A punch by you drives a fist into the
scene; one at you comes at the camera; both land with a comic POW.
film-clips rolls until the reel's last move rather than a fixed count,
and the gate settles longer on a step whose caption rolls a die. All
thirty goldens re-blessed.

Two things for a viewer who has never seen the game. When the reel's
pov passes to another wizard, the cut used to be instant — one wizard
apparently teleporting. Now a slate wipes across the pane: a dark band
sweeps in over the old sight, holds with the new wizard's standee and
THROUGH THE EYES OF <name>, and sweeps off to reveal theirs. It is an
FpFx ("slate") drawn by the renderer on the reel's own clock, so the
harness and the film see the same frames.
The caption grows a right-hand column: strides left to spend this turn
as a countdown, ♥ life, and chips for what the wizard carries,
displays, or suffers — a treasure, displayed cards, spells on them
with turns remaining, lost turns, banked Pass Wall, attack spent. The
save-video composite carries the same column.
All thirty scene goldens re-blessed: the caption is inside every
frame. The 3D panes are pixel-identical to the previous goldens.

Eric's direction: passing through an ordinary warp mouth is a normal
stride. The veil already marks the doorway, and the wizard walks through
it as through any door — no shimmer, no surge, and the eyes carry on
the way they were going instead of turning back to show the mouth. The
surge stays for the moment a wormhole is cast, staged straight from the
warpOpened event through both its new mouths.
The heist's pinned frames re-blessed for it: at the crossing the reel
now looks down the corridor at the enemy's home rather than back
through the mouth.
deploy/film-clips.mjs films the catalog for the gallery — every scene
in both takes, the reel playing under the paused clock at one frame per
40ms, muxed to 25fps mp4s with the first pinned beat as the poster. The
recorder used for the first clip set lived in a session scratchpad and
was lost; this one lives here.

Every board effect the cockpit had no art for landed as the same purple
lightning-ring sprite, so a body stepping through a warp mouth wore the
ring over its own portrait. Eric wanted the purple wall to do the
animating. The portal effect now becomes a "surge" keyed by the mouth's
index in board.warps: the veil hung in that opening floods with its
texture, the swirl quickens and pales, and a ripple runs out to the
jambs before it settles back — nothing drawn over whoever stands in it.
The director used to steer the eyes toward that ring's cell on the pov
wizard's own crossing; it now aims at a surging mouth the same way, so
the heist's pinned frames render as before. Illusion and Pass Wall
crossings keep the shimmer sprite — stone has no veil to surge.
Scene gate: 29 of 30 frames unchanged. stone-gaze-s10-board drifts
0.21% with or without this change (the dashed sight line's phase), a
pre-existing flake left unblessed.

Each clip page already carried its own title, blurb, poster and
og:video — but the assets behind the tags let the unfurl down. The mp4s
were tail-indexed, so previewers in iMessage, Discord, Slack and

dimensions, without which those same sites refuse to embed one; and the
poster was a 736x578 screenshot of the workshop chrome, cropped to
nothing by any share sheet.
deploy/clips-prep.mjs fixes the set before clips-publish.sh ships it:
a lossless faststart remux of every take, a 1200x630 card per clip cut
from the poster's first-person viewport with the title set over it (an

deploy/verify-scenes.sh replays each screenplay to its authored beats
under a paused Playwright clock — pulses, tweens, and fx advance only
on the harness's schedule, so the same beat renders the same bytes
every run — screenshots the reel, and diffs pixels against the goldens
in deploy/scene-goldens (30 frames: warp transits, impacts, curses
landing, in both views). A channel may drift 6 before a pixel counts,
0.2% of pixels before a beat fails; --update blesses intended changes.
Proven both ways before landing: a clean double-run reproduces all 30
goldens exactly, and resurrecting the warp-smear cutaway bug fails the
warp-transit beat at 61% pixel drift.

While a targeted card is armed, wizards and creatures standing on
castable ground wear a pulsing ember ring at their feet — drawn behind
the body, only when the walls actually show it, and only when the card
could land on a being (creations still light floor alone). The hover
cue now carries a verdict: gold outline and bright name for what the
cast can reach, cold slate for what stands beyond it. The workshop
poses it all: ?aim=1 arms a pretend cast and ?rival=x,y stands the
Rival wherever the shot needs them.

Server: turnFacts joins actingSeat's full priority order (a hanging
ward or slow-death window now reads as the lobby's attention, stubs
included), summarize and stubOf share one baseSummary, the stranded
doc comment returns to summarize, the protocol contract names
feedbackList, Sentry init moves below the imports it cannot precede,
randomBytes joins its group, the feedback path hoists once with the
operator-fields note. Engine: the safe's sight check trusts castSight
alone, the locked-safe predicate becomes lockedSafeAt, the doomed-grab
test drives both seats and must reach endTurn. Web: the twin safe
handlers merge, paPoints joins the reset ritual with a derived burnable
range, five decorative empty handlers and a dead class go, the hand
earns real list semantics, fitHandCards cites Card.svelte's tokens,
two wrap-sites reindent, feedbackReports moves home as a named type,
and the chronicle's stay-mounted reason is stated. feedback-reply.sh
adopts its siblings' set/usage conventions and speaks Node. Two test
screenshots leave the repo root.

Two cards drawn is a two-point blow: ABSORB soaks up to three of the
total, BLUNT halves it rounding up (so it finally earns a place — 2
becomes 1), counters may chain, declining takes the rest. The client
labels each counter with the exact points it leaves; the bots weigh
the total against their floor. Amends rev 13 minutes after it shipped;
every production ledger still replays clean.

Operational: auto-reboot for kernel patches (09:30 UTC), Caddy access
logs at /var/lib/caddy (self-rotating; the sandbox denies /var/log),
logrotate for the backup log, a restore drill proving a Spaces snapshot
boots 56/56 rooms clean, the about page's plain sentence on permanent
recording, and /wizwar-pulse to read it all weekly.
Rules: safes now smash — attacks aimed at the box accumulate on it and
the fifteenth point bursts it (widening, ungated). And SLOW DEATH's
bites pause for a victim holding an ABSORB — the card named by the FAQ,
not Absorb Spell — each soaking exactly one point, rev-gated at 13 with
the instant-bite legacy pinned. Bots weigh the soak against their life.

Server: errors-only @sentry/node behind SENTRY_DSN, capturing the
unhandled-protocol catch with its message type and room. Client:
errors-only @sentry/browser behind VITE_SENTRY_DSN baked at build.
Backup: Sentry Crons check-ins (in_progress/ok/error) when
/root/.wizwar-sentry-cron holds the check-in URL. No DSN, no behavior.
