Blind reviews over d2b40ec..HEAD (engine / web / server+deploy). Orphaned doc comments rejoined their functions; the swap-meet tradables collapsed from four pasted deriveds to one (killing the "the's treasure" label); FEAR's aura and banner now share the engine's own dreadDistance; the long-press peek got one home; rulebook.ts stopped wearing JSON quotes; process-named tests and war-story comments now state the constraints they pin; the protocol doc caught up to its handlers; verify-ledgers.sh can actually count failures; the runbook learned about the determinism gate and the nightly backups. No behavior changes — 255 tests and all 48 production ledgers replay identically. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Deploying Wiz-War
The game runs on a single DigitalOcean droplet: one Node process serves the built client and the websocket on port 8787; Caddy in front terminates TLS with automatic certificates. Room files persist in /var/lib/wizwar/rooms and survive deploys and reboots.
Current production
- Droplet:
wizwar(nyc3, s-1vcpu-1gb, tagwizwar), IP 104.236.96.198 - URLs: https://wizwar.kestrelsnest.social and https://wizwar.104.236.96.198.sslip.io (always works, zero DNS). Caddy serves both; NOTE: kestrelsnest.social's authoritative DNS is at HOVER (ns1/ns2.hover.com), not DigitalOcean — records must be added there. A matching record also sits in the DO zone in case nameservers ever move.
Everyday deploys
deploy/deploy.sh 104.236.96.198
Builds the client locally, rsyncs the repo (minus node_modules, data/, .git, research), installs dependencies on the droplet, and restarts the service. Games in progress survive: state lives in room files, and clients reconnect automatically.
Before any deploy that touches the engine, run the determinism gate:
deploy/verify-ledgers.sh 104.236.96.198
It fetches every production ledger and strictly replays it against the local engine; a single refused command fails the check. A room whose ledger no longer replays becomes unreachable after restart, so this is not optional.

Operations
- Logs:
ssh root@<ip> journalctl -u wizwar -f - Restart:
ssh root@<ip> systemctl restart wizwar - Nightly backups:
wizwar-backup.shruns from root's crontab at 07:17 UTC, pushing /var/lib/wizwar to thekestrel-wizwar-backupsSpace (nyc3) via rclone. It is installed at /usr/local/bin/wizwar-backup.sh on the droplet;setup-droplet.shdoes NOT install it — on a fresh droplet, copy the script, configure rclone (the script refuses to run while the config still holds its CHANGE_ME placeholder), and add the cron entry by hand. - One-off backup:
scp -r root@<ip>:/var/lib/wizwar/rooms ./rooms-backup
