Summary

A creature's own activated ability was unreachable whenever an Aura or Equipment attached to it was activatable too. Reported from a real game: Slumbering Keepguard's {2}{W} could not be activated while an Aura sat on it — every click on the host, centre, edge or corner, opened the attachment chooser instead, and the chooser excludes the host by design (AttachmentFan.tsx:241, id !== host.id), so the ability had no path at all.

During Priority HumanResponseModel::ExactCandidates publishes an attachment fan for every activatable attachment, so viewerInteraction.attachmentFans carries an entry keyed by the host. handlePrimaryClick's attachmentsActionable branch read that entry as "the host is not a legal choice" — an unchecked premise, false whenever the host is activatable too — and sat above the activation branch. The sibling branch that reads the affordance sets is placed last for exactly this reason and says so in its comment; this one was not. Moved below the host's own target / activation / undo intent, which also makes the click ladder match the glow-ring priority ladder it advertises.

The branch was introduced by #6945, a card PR (Lady Loki, Agent of Chaos), which is why the click order was never reviewed as an ordering change.

Handing the click back to the host strands the attachments unless they keep a route of their own, and in this state they had none: attachmentsActionable is itself one of the disjuncts that expands the attachment stack, so no +N control renders, while the control required exactly one attachment. Each Aura was then reachable only through the ~22px peek this file itself calls untappable. now renders whenever attachments exist and the stack is expanded — the same predicate +N is derived from, so the two are complementary and exactly one route exists in every state that needs one.

The control's size is deliberately unchanged. It is now the pointer route where the host's own click used to open the fan, and at clamp(20px, …, 28px) it sits under the 44px touch floor the branch above cites — but 44px is unreachable at this seam. Battlefield cards sit in an 8px gap (BattlefieldRow.tsx:176, const gap = 8) and --card-base floors at 3.5rem, while the badge is already at -left-2.5: growing outward to 44px puts ~26px of invisible hit area over the neighbouring permanent's face at z-40 and silently steals its clicks, and growing inward swallows most of a 56px card. Either would re-create, in miniature, the click theft this PR undoes. An earlier revision of this branch did exactly that with a symmetric after:-inset-2.5, then with an outward-only after:-top-6 after:-left-6; both were reverted. The limitation is recorded at the gate and in "Scope Expansion" — it needs a layout-level answer shared with +N and GroupedPermanent.tsx:279, not a per-control patch.

Reproduces with no engine defect involved: Cooped Up's {2}{W}: Exile enchanted creature is legitimately activatable from the battlefield, so the fan entry is correct and the host is still unreachable. The reported board's Aura was Bestial Bloodline, whose only activated ability functions from the graveyard — it should not have been offered on the battlefield at all (CR 113.6b). That is a separate engine defect, out of scope here and reported separately, so no fixture or claim in this PR depends on it: the tests use Cooped Up and Cage of Hands ({1}{W}: Return this Aura to its owner's hand), both correctly activatable where they sit, and stay green once the engine defect is fixed.

Files changed

  • client/src/components/board/PermanentCard.tsx — the attachmentsActionable branch moved below the host's own target / activation / undo intent; the fan control gated on attachments.length > 0 && attachmentsExpanded instead of length === 1; its label counts the projection's children rather than the raw snapshot
  • client/src/components/board/__tests__/PermanentCard.test.tsx — five rows (the defect, the reorder's safety pair, the expanded-multi route, the collapsed hand-off, the no-attachment case); viewerInteraction added to the shared beforeEach reset
  • client/src/i18n/locales/{de,en,es,fr,it,pl,pt}/game.jsonpermanent.viewAttachmentsFor and permanent.hiddenAttachmentsAria gain _few/_many

Developer

LLM

Model: claude-opus-5
Tier: Frontier
Thinking: high

Implementation method (required)

Method: not-applicable — frontend-only change; no crates/engine/ path is touched (9 files, all under client/src/).

CR references

None added. No rules behavior changes. CR 113.6b is named in prose only, to scope out the engine defect that shares the reported board; the existing CR 301.5 / CR 303.4 annotation on the attachment-peek rationale is quoted in new comments but not altered.

Verification

  • Required checks ran clean, or the exact CI-owned alternative is stated below.
  • Gate A output below is for the current committed head.
  • Final review-impl below is clean for the current committed head.
  • Both anchors cite existing analogous code at the same seam.

Tilt cannot be installed on this machine, so the frontend checks ran directly, each arm in its own isolated worktree with its own pnpm install. All results from the pushed head ab45d3d, with the merge base 357dfa7 re-measured on the same runner:

  • tsc -b --force --pretty falseEXIT=0, 0 error lines. Base: EXIT=0.
  • eslint .EXIT=0, ✖ 30 problems (0 errors, 30 warnings). A count alone cannot gate, so the gate is the warning set: normalized path:line:rule triples compared against the base arm give onlyInBASE=0 onlyInHEAD=0, 30 on both.
  • vitest run (full configured suite) — EXIT=0, Test Files 297 passed | 3 skipped (300), Tests 2702 passed | 12 todo (2714). Base: 297 passed | 3 skipped (300), 2697 passed | 12 todo (2709). Delta: +5 tests, +0 files, −0 removed.
  • Browser verification was performed, on the reported board itself — Slumbering Keepguard with two Auras, Priority during Declare Blockers, in the reporter's live game: before, every click on the host opened the chooser; after, the host's {2}{W} fires and opens the chooser. Stated precisely: that pass ran against an earlier commit of this branch, which gated on hiddenAttachmentCount === 0 — provably equivalent to attachmentsExpanded for every reachable state, since length <= 1 forces expansion and a collapsed stack always hides at least one. The exact bytes at this head were not put in front of a browser, and the geometry argument above is derived from the project's compiled Tailwind (--spacing: 0.25rem) plus the layout source, not from a rendered page. Worth a maintainer's eye on a real board.

Two-way controls, each measured at this head, each flipping its own named assertion:

Mutant Row that goes red
attachmentsActionable forced false (branch effectively deleted), :727 still opens the fan when only the attachment is a live interaction choiceexpected 1 to be null
isActivatableisActivatable && !attachmentsActionable at :694 (old precedence) activates the host's own ability while an attachment is a live interaction choicedispatchAction calls = 0
gate → attachments.length === 1 (pre-change) keeps an explicit fan route on a host whose several attachments are all expandedexpected null not to be null
gate → attachments.length > 0 alone hands the collapsed state to the +N control and renders no second route — two controls render at once
gate → attachmentsExpanded alone renders no fan route on a permanent that has no attachments — every bare permanent grows a
viewerInteraction: null removed from the shared reset hands the collapsed state… + the pre-existing refreshes the attachment fan when the engine clears host attachments

Green baseline for the same file: 67/67. Every mutant was re-measured after the rebase onto 357dfa7.

The selection assertion in the first row is the discriminator, not decoration: the affordance-set branch produces the same attachmentFanHostId from the same fixture, and only it calls selectObject, so without that assertion the row stayed green under its own mutant. It was added for exactly that reason.

The mutant on :694 must be applied line-scoped. Substituting } else if (isActivatable) { globally hits the glowClass ladder at :570 first and the suite stays green — a false negative worth naming, since both this PR's author and its reviewer hit it.

Gate A

Anchored on

  • client/src/components/board/PermanentCard.tsx:747 — the sibling fan branch, which reads the affordance sets and is deliberately placed last, its comment stating "placed LAST so it can never pre-empt the host's target / activation / undo intent". That is the authority this PR applies to the interaction-fed branch.
  • client/src/components/board/PermanentCard.tsx:544 — the glow-ring priority tiers (valid target → activatable → tap undo). The click ladder now matches the ring order exactly, so a click does what the ring advertises.
  • client/src/components/board/PermanentCard.tsx:855 — the +N control, the existing explicit fan route derived from the same expansion predicate; the gate is modelled on it and is its complement.

Claimed parse impact

None.

Scope Expansion

permanent.hiddenAttachmentsAria was fixed alongside permanent.viewAttachmentsFor. Only the latter is touched by this change's logic; the former carried the identical missing-plural-category defect two lines away in all seven catalogs, and fixing one member of a two-member class would have been the special-case treatment the review lens warns about.

Two adjacent defects were deliberately left alone, both pre-existing and neither altered by this diff:

  • Touch-target size, on and on the 24px +N alike. Neither is 44px, and as argued above neither can be at an 8px card gap. +N's collapsed state is additionally provably unchanged by this PR: attachmentsActionable is false whenever the stack is collapsed (it is one of the disjuncts that expands it), so the reordered branch cannot fire there. A real fix is a layout decision about badge sizing on small cards and belongs in its own change.
  • 134 of Polish's 141 plural keys still fall back to English at counts ≥ 2 (only five pre-existing log.* keys plus this PR's two carry _few/_many). This PR establishes the pattern on the keys it touches; the sweep belongs in its own change.

Validation Failures

The control on a nested attachment host is painted inside the peek wrapper's zIndex: 5 - i and therefore sits under the parent's card face, so it is not pointer-reachable there. It remains keyboard-focusable, and that host's own peek still opens a fan keyed to it — the fan lists a host plus its direct children, so one hop per level is enough. Left as a known limitation and stated in the comment at the gate rather than papered over; the pre-change route for that case was the same unusable ~22px peek.

CI Failures

None.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The engine now publishes viewer-scoped attachment views with nested membership and optional submissions. AttachmentFan and PermanentCard consume these projections for selection, action precedence, fan visibility, and count labels. Tests, localization strings, bindings, fixtures, and protocol version 22 support the new payload.

PermanentCard prioritizes host actions, opens fans from projected membership, and labels controls with projected counts. Fixtures, regression tests, and pluralized localization entries match the new interaction shape.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 05fd3

The client now restores host activation while preserving attachment navigation, but merge readiness remains moderate because attachment choices are still derived in the client rather than an authoritative projection, and some early-return paths can publish attachment views without the full outbound budget check. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Deferred by maintainer intake policy — not ignored.

This current head (ab45d3d1f69e2cc57303223e4d8478263c682052) was triaged as a frontend-only change (client/src/components/board/PermanentCard.tsx, client/src/components/board/__tests__/PermanentCard.test.tsx, client/src/i18n/locales/de/game.json, client/src/i18n/locales/en/game.json, client/src/i18n/locales/es/game.json, client/src/i18n/locales/fr/game.json, client/src/i18n/locales/it/game.json, client/src/i18n/locales/pl/game.json, client/src/i18n/locales/pt/game.json) by cuinhellcat. The local frontend-review allowlist does not include this author, so this route does not perform an implementation-diff review or approve the PR.

A maintainer must explicitly take this PR or add a local frontend-review exception before it can receive substantive review. The defer label is a routing marker only, not a verdict on the change.

1161-1173: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Provide a 44pt attachment-fan target.

Line 1161 adds the only explicit fan route for expanded attachments. Lines 1166-1167 constrain it to 20-28px. On touch devices, this makes the attachment chooser difficult to activate after the host click correctly takes precedence.

Use a layout-level route that provides a 44pt target without intercepting neighboring cards.

As per path instructions: “Touch targets >= 44pt.”

Two review findings on phase-rs#7296, both about the `⧉` control.

**Nested hosts had no route.** A host's own badge is painted inside the
attachment peek wrapper (`zIndex: 5 - i`), a stacking context below the
parent card face, so on a nested host it is buried. That was survivable
while clicking the nested host's peek opened its fan — but handing a
host's click back to the host means a nested host with a target,
activation or undo of its own answers with THAT, and its children lost
their only route.

Rather than fight the stacking order and add a second sub-44px target,
the fan opened from the outermost host — whose badge is reachable by
construction — now lists the whole subtree. One reachable control,
every descendant.

The trap underneath it: the engine hangs the fan off the INTERMEDIATE
attachment, never off the outermost card, so deciding "is an interaction
live" from `attachmentFans[hostId]` reports no. Mode 2 then gates the
grandchild on an activation bucket it does not have — visible and
unpickable, which looks like a fix and is not one. Mode is now "a fan
exists anywhere under this host".

**The label counted something else than the fan showed.** The badge and
the fan derived their card sets separately. `collectAttachmentFanChildren`
is now the single authority both read, so they cannot drift.

Membership is unchanged in kind: during an interaction the fan lists
exactly what the engine published, so an intermediate that is not itself
a choice is walked through, not offered. The fan still never invents a
choice.

Two `makeState`-based rows move from "attached card" to "2 attached
cards": that fixture is itself the nested shape (creature → Equipment →
Aura) and the old singular label silently under-promised it.

Verified in the phase container (Node 22; the host's Node 26 fails the
suite on an unrelated experimental `localStorage` global): 2715 tests
pass, tsc clean, eslint 30 warnings / 0 errors — the documented baseline.
Two-way controls measured for both findings; the drop sides and their
exact failures are recorded at each test. Not verified in a browser.

Both findings confirmed and addressed in 1f31006.

The count guard

Right — the existing row asserted a button containing the host's name and nothing about attachmentFanCardCount. Its fixture had two raw attachments and two projected children, so the two candidate expressions agreed at 2 and the projection was invisible to it.

The new row makes them disagree: two Auras attached, one live choice, so the fan builds a one-card fan while obj.attachments.length is still 2. English gives a clean discriminator — viewAttachmentsFor_one drops the number, _other interpolates it.

Measured on the drop side (attachmentFanCardCount reverted to obj.attachments.length), whole file:

1 failed | 67 passed
AssertionError: expected 'View Slumbering Keepguard\'s 2 attach…' to match /attached card$/

The 67 is the finding: that mutant was invisible to every other row in the file, including the reachability guard directly above it.

Nested fans

Also right, and the mechanism is as you describe: the reordered handleClick answers with the nested host's own target / activation / undo before it can reach the branch that would open its fan, and the badge that should serve instead is painted inside the peek wrapper's zIndex: 5 - i, below the parent card face.

Took the route you asked for rather than fighting the stacking order and adding a second sub-44px target: the fan opened from the outermost host — whose badge is reachable by construction — now lists the whole subtree. collectAttachmentFanChildren (client/src/viewmodel/attachmentFanCards.ts) is the single authority for membership, read by both the fan and the badge's label, so the two cannot drift. That also closes the first finding structurally rather than only by test.

One trap worth naming, because it produces a convincing non-fix: the engine hangs the fan off the intermediate attachment, never off the outermost card. Deciding "is an interaction live" from attachmentFans[hostId] therefore reports no, mode 2 takes over, and the grandchild renders while gated on an activation bucket it does not have — visible and unpickable. Mode is now "a fan exists anywhere under this host", and the listed/pickable split is two separate rows for exactly that reason:

  • drop the subtree walk → lists a grandchild attached to an intermediate host fails with expected null not to be null
  • keep the walk, key the mode on attachmentFans[hostId] → that row stays green and makes that grandchild pickable, not merely visible fails with expected false to be true

Membership is unchanged in kind: during an interaction the fan lists exactly what the engine published, so an intermediate that is not itself a choice is walked through, not offered. The fan still never invents a choice. The regression fixture is the shape you named — activatable intermediate, child is the interaction choice.

Two makeState-based rows move from attached card to 2 attached cards. That fixture is itself the nested shape (creature → Equipment → Aura), and the old direct-children label silently under-promised it: the grandchild had never been in that fan at all.

Verification

2715 frontend tests pass, tsc -b clean, eslint 30 warnings / 0 errors — the repo's standing baseline. One error was mine and is gone: a useMemo placed after an early return (rules-of-hooks), now a plain call, with the reason recorded at the site.

Eight building-block rows cover the walk itself, including the cycle guard and an attachment id with no object — shapes the component tests cannot easily stage.

Run in the project's phase container on Node 22. Worth knowing before anyone reads a red local run as a real failure: on Node 26 every row in these files dies in setup with TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'setItem'), from Node's own experimental localStorage global rather than from anything in the suite.

Not verified in a browser. A three-card fan where there used to be two is a visual change, and I could only prove it by tests and types.

Move attachment-fan projection into the engine.

Lines 84-120 traverse raw attachment state, merge nested interaction records, and derive both fan membership and interaction mode in client/src. This makes the UI a second authority for game data and can produce a different fan when the object snapshot and interaction projection are not synchronized.

Have the engine publish the complete outer-host fan projection, including ordered children and submissions. Then wire that projection through every adapter with a round-trip test. The client should only render and dispatch the published result.

As per path instructions: “The frontend is a display layer, never a logic layer. Findings: any computation, derivation, filtering, or inference of GAME data inside client/src/ — push it into the engine and expose the result.”

Changes requested — move the attachment-fan projection to its engine authority.

🔴 Blocker

client/src/viewmodel/attachmentFanCards.ts:77-120 makes the frontend walk GameObject.attachments, merge viewerInteraction.attachmentFans, choose interaction mode, and construct the set of cards carrying opaque submissions. That is game-state/interaction derivation in the display layer, and it can disagree with the engine projection when the two client snapshots are not synchronized.

The existing authority is deliberately narrower: crates/engine/src/game/interaction.rs:7442-7444 says the engine's attachment affordance validates both relationship directions to avoid stale relationship data or indirect descendants, and :7530-7588 builds the filtered, per-interaction fan from that authority. The integration contract at crates/engine/tests/integration/interaction_contract.rs:398-456 also verifies this as a direct, viewer-filtered projection. Extending membership in client/src creates a second authority instead of extending the one that already owns validity and viewer filtering.

Please move the complete outer-host fan projection into the engine interaction contract: validate and order the descendant children there, bind their opaque submissions there, and expose the resulting projection through the generated adapter. The client should then only render/count that engine-provided list and dispatch its submissions. Include an engine production-interaction test for the nested route and an adapter/serialization round-trip covering the new projection.

✅ Confirmed

The host-click precedence change addresses the reported direct-host reachability problem; the remaining issue is the ownership of the nested projection, not that click ordering.

Recommendation: rework the nested fan route at the engine interaction-projection seam, then request another review on the new head.

Two review findings on phase-rs#7296, both about the `⧉` control.

**Nested hosts had no route.** A host's own badge is painted inside the
attachment peek wrapper (`zIndex: 5 - i`), a stacking context below the
parent card face, so on a nested host it is buried. That was survivable
while clicking the nested host's peek opened its fan — but handing a
host's click back to the host means a nested host with a target,
activation or undo of its own answers with THAT, and its children lost
their only route.

Rather than fight the stacking order and add a second sub-44px target,
the fan opened from the outermost host — whose badge is reachable by
construction — now lists the whole subtree. One reachable control,
every descendant.

The trap underneath it: the engine hangs the fan off the INTERMEDIATE
attachment, never off the outermost card, so deciding "is an interaction
live" from `attachmentFans[hostId]` reports no. Mode 2 then gates the
grandchild on an activation bucket it does not have — visible and
unpickable, which looks like a fix and is not one. Mode is now "a fan
exists anywhere under this host".

**The label counted something else than the fan showed.** The badge and
the fan derived their card sets separately. `collectAttachmentFanChildren`
is now the single authority both read, so they cannot drift.

Membership is unchanged in kind: during an interaction the fan lists
exactly what the engine published, so an intermediate that is not itself
a choice is walked through, not offered. The fan still never invents a
choice.

Two `makeState`-based rows move from "attached card" to "2 attached
cards": that fixture is itself the nested shape (creature → Equipment →
Aura) and the old singular label silently under-promised it.

Verified in the phase container (Node 22; the host's Node 26 fails the
suite on an unrelated experimental `localStorage` global): 2715 tests
pass, tsc clean, eslint 30 warnings / 0 errors — the documented baseline.
Two-way controls measured for both findings; the drop sides and their
exact failures are recorded at each test. Not verified in a browser.

Reported by CodeRabbit on phase-rs#7296.

Rebased onto main (63 commits) and pushed a second fix. Problem A is unchanged and survived the rebase.

Problem B — a published sibling erased its neighbour from the fan

Board: Grizzly Bears wearing Commander's Plate (with Power Artifact on it) and a Bonesplitter. The Bonesplitter has an Equip, the Plate does not. The badge dropped to the singular "attached card" and the fan showed only the Bonesplitter — the Plate and its Aura were gone from the display while still buffing the creature.

Cause: attachment_fans_for_object_choices (interaction.rs:7670) publishes a fan per direct host, and only for children with exactly one legal choice (let [choice_id] = choice_ids.as_slice()), dropping hosts with no such child entirely. The client read that projection as a membership list and switched display modes on it — no fan under the host → show what is attached; any fan → show only what is clickable. So one card's button deleted another card from the only surface that shows attached cards at all. It also put game-state interpretation in the display layer, which CLAUDE.md forbids.

Older than this PR. git show 1f31006~1:client/src/components/board/AttachmentFan.tsx reads viewerInteraction.attachmentFans[hostId] and mode-switches on it — same behaviour on this board. This commit widens the fix for an existing defect; it does not repair one I introduced.

Fix: membership is structural. collectAttachmentFanChildren returns the whole attachment subtree, each child carrying the engine's submission (published under any host in the subtree, nested fans included) or null. mode is gone and the two-pass filter with it, so the walk is shorter than before. Pickability is gated per card — submission first, else the shared deriveActivationAffordances authority the battlefield ring uses. The fan still cannot offer what the board would not; it just stops hiding what the board shows. The badge count reads the same single authority, so label and fan agree again.

The review question this raises, measured rather than argued: can mode 2 now light up something a live prompt would refuse? No — the activation ring is gated on waitingFor.type === "Priority" and a prompt is never Priority, so both affordance sets come back empty. Pinned by a new row (lights nothing from a bucket while a prompt owns the waiting state: unpublished attachment with a populated bucket, real prompt open). Forcing canActivate constant-true flips it, expected true to be false.

Counter-measurement: restoring the published-only filter turns 9 rows red, including
AssertionError: expected 'View Slumbering Keepguard's attached…' to match /2 attached cards$/ — the singular badge over the shrunken fan, i.e. the reported symptom.

One behaviour change worth naming: an intermediate host with its own activatable ability is now listed and pickable while a grandchild is published under it. It used to be absent. At Priority the battlefield ring lights that permanent too, so this makes the fan agree with the board rather than widening the offer beyond it; the previous walks through the intermediate without offering it row is split into a listed row and an offer row so both claims stay separately pinned.

2773 tests pass, tsc -b clean, eslint 31 warnings / 0 errors — warnings unchanged from the freshly rebased base.

Not re-checked in a browser this round: the browser is where this bug was found, and I had no browser access in this session. The behaviour above is covered at component level against engine-shaped projection fixtures, not by a click-through.

Changes requested — the current head still puts attachment-fan interaction projection in the client.

🔴 Blocker

client/src/viewmodel/attachmentFanCards.ts:73-106 walks raw GameObject.attachments, combines viewerInteraction.attachmentFans from every descendant, and produces the object/submission projection that AttachmentFan.tsx:124-145,174-212,276 uses to decide fan membership and the dispatch path. This remains the second interaction authority called out on the earlier head; moving it into a client viewmodel has not changed its ownership.

The existing engine authority is crates/engine/src/game/interaction.rs:7670-7728: it validates both sides of each direct attachment relationship, filters the view per interaction, and binds the opaque submission. Its production contract at crates/engine/tests/integration/interaction_contract.rs:399-457 specifically proves that stale relationship data and an unauthorized viewer produce no fan. The new client unit tests only validate a parallel traversal over the serialized snapshot, so they cannot prove those interaction/visibility invariants or keep the two snapshots synchronized.

Please extend the engine interaction projection to expose the complete visible outer-host fan: engine-validated descendant ordering plus per-card availability/submission, passed through the generated adapter. The client should only render/count that projection and forward an engine-owned submission. Add a production interaction test for the nested route and an adapter/serialization round trip for the new projection.

Recommendation: rework this at the engine interaction-projection seam, then request review on a new head.

Browser check done, closing the gap I flagged in the previous comment.

Sandbox board: an artifact creature host wearing Commander's Plate (with Power Artifact enchanting the Plate) and a Bonesplitter. The fan opened from the host's shows all four cards — host, Plate, Power Artifact, Bonesplitter. Before the change the Plate and the Aura on it disappeared as soon as the Bonesplitter's Equip was published.

What lights up matches the board rather than the projection:

  • Bonesplitter — pickable from the engine's published submission (one Equip, so it is a one-click choice).
  • Commander's Plate — pickable from its own bucket. The engine never published it: it has two Equip moves (Equip commander 3 / Equip 5), and attachment_fans_for_object_choices only publishes children with exactly one choice (let [choice_id] = choice_ids.as_slice()). Under the old membership rule this card was both unlisted and unreachable; now it lights up because the battlefield ring offers it too.
  • Power Artifact — listed and dimmed. Attached, no activated ability, nothing offered.
  • Host — listed, no pick badge; the id !== host.id invariant holds.

That third case is the defect in one picture: a permanent that is on the battlefield, modifying the creature, and was simply absent from the only surface that shows attached cards.

Reworked at the engine interaction-projection seam, as asked. New head, rebuilt from scratch on v0.54.0; the only thing kept from the old one is the host-click precedence commit you confirmed. The client viewmodel that walked attachments is gone — not moved.

What the engine now publishes. ViewerInteraction.attachment_views: for every object the viewer can see, the complete attachment subtree in depth-first order, each card carrying the engine's opaque submission when one was published for it — under any host in that subtree, nested fans included — and None otherwise. Both directions of every relationship must agree (interaction.rs, collect_attachment_subtree), the same guard attachment_fans_for_object_choices already applied, so stale or authority-only back-links cannot reach a consumer. Bounded through bound_outbound_view with the rest of the projection.

Why a second field and not a wider attachment_fans. They answer different questions, and your own contract row is what pins the difference. A fan is what this viewer may submit right now: authorization-scoped, empty for everyone else, which attachment_fans_are_per_interaction_filtered_and_direct proves. Membership is a board fact — CR 301.5 / CR 303.4, an attached permanent is its own object on the battlefield — so it follows visibility and is published on every projection, including the paths that return before any opportunity is derived: an opponent's turn, an open prompt, a terminal game. Folding membership into attachment_fans would force one of two regressions: delete that assertion, or make attached cards disappear from the display whenever the viewer cannot act. The old client mode-switch was the same mistake one layer up — it read an offer list as an inventory list.

Engine contract rows (interaction_contract.rs):

  • attachment_views_publish_the_whole_subtree_whatever_is_pickable — host + intermediate + nested + sibling, exactly one published pick in the whole subtree. Order, the Nones, the nested host's own view, and the published submission resolving through submit_interaction from the OUTER host's view.
  • attachment_views_follow_visibility_while_fans_follow_authorization — the unauthorized viewer gets membership and no fan; a cleared host back-link and a cleared child forward-link each publish nothing.
  • attachment_views_survive_the_adapter_round_trip — camelCase on the wire, "submission":null for an unpublished member, equality after a serde round trip, and a payload without the field still loading.

Client. AttachmentFan maps cards and gates each pick per card: the published submission first, else the shared deriveActivationAffordances authority the battlefield ring uses. The badge counts the same list, so label and fan cannot disagree. Two behaviour notes: the fan unmounts when the projection lists no members (it used to render a lone host card), and a published pick is offered only while canSubmit — CodeRabbit's point on the previous head, which the click path already required.

Counter-measured, both sides. Direct children only → left: [2, 4] right: [2, 3, 4]. Dropping the back-link check → the stale-link row. Published-only membership back in the client → 11 red rows. Dropping canSubmit from selectable → 1, expected true to be false.

Wire protocol 21 → 22: the field parses on a v21 peer as an empty map, so the loss is silent and the handshake is the only place the pairing can be refused.

24.105 engine tests, 2.864 client tests, clippy clean, tsc -b clean, eslint 31 warnings / 0 errors (unchanged from v0.54.0).

Request changes — the current head still has one outbound-budget correctness defect and one frontend test failure.

🔴 Blocker

crates/engine/src/game/interaction.rs:7423-7425 builds attachment_views before the terminal, unauthorized, invalid-session, invalid-serial, and oversized-slot returns at :7429-7552. Those return paths copy the map unchanged (:7437, :7454, :7473, :7490, :7518), while the aggregate bound_outbound_view check only runs on the normal assembled view at :7583-7590. An oversized attachment projection can therefore bypass the global outbound payload budget whenever a viewer reaches one of those early paths.

Centralize or finalize the bound for every ViewerInteraction return path, retaining the generic payload-too-large behavior, and add a regression that reaches an early return with an aggregate-over-budget attachment map.

🟡 Required verification repair

client/src/network/protocol.ts:123 bumps WIRE_PROTOCOL_VERSION to 22, but client/src/network/__tests__/protocol.test.ts:39-41 still expects 21 and :241-246 still tests/refers to the 20 → 21 adjacent pair. That makes the frontend test suite fail on this head and no longer discriminates this bump.

Update the tests to pin 22, reject 21, and admit 22; retain the paired reject-previous/admit-current reach guard.

Recommendation: make the centralized outbound-bound fix and the protocol-test update, then request re-review on a new head.

Maintainer update: I merged current main into this branch at 60f043ee87834ba36fdcbb9729456af1d399548d because the branch was behind solely due to maintainer-side #7399 churn, which does not overlap this PR's attachment interaction work.

The implementation review is complete. Fresh CI and the engine parse-diff artifact for this new head are still pending; I will resume the approval decision once those current-head signals settle. No action is needed from the contributor.

Accepted — fixed. Pushed as a fourth commit (f61d009).

You are right that the finalizer could only judge what it was allowed to see, and the derivation was quietly deciding for it. Both absorption points are gone:

  • attachment_views_for_viewer now returns Result<BTreeMap<…>, InteractionReasonCode>. A host whose own subtree passes MAX_INTERACTION_LIST_LEN returns Err(PayloadTooLarge) instead of being skipped, and an over-limit host map returns the same instead of an empty BTreeMap.
  • finalize_viewer_interaction takes that Result, installs the membership itself (call sites no longer pass a map at all), and reports the carried reason code. Derivation overflow and aggregate overflow therefore reach the same single fail-closed answer, and neither can leave as a plausible empty map.

Regressions, both asserting the fail-closed payload:

  • an_oversized_attachment_tree_fails_closed_instead_of_publishing_an_empty_map — one direct host wearing MAX_INTERACTION_LIST_LEN + 1 attachments.
  • a_deep_attachment_chain_fails_closed_on_the_aggregate — a 200-deep chain: every view is at most 200 cards, well inside the per-view cap, and the nesting sums past the aggregate. This one reads the derived path, so the claim is not confined to the early returns; the wide row reads the unauthorized early return deliberately, because deriving a priority projection over ten thousand permanents costs ~107 s of action enumeration and buys nothing here. The existing an_early_return_fails_closed_on_the_aggregate_attachment_budget still covers the aggregate on an early return.

Counter-measurement, fix dropped: restoring the continue for an oversized host turns the wide row red (left: Waiting, right: Unsupported { PayloadTooLarge }); restored, green. cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings clean, cargo test -p phase-engine green (19 092 unit + 4994 integration).

On the parse artifact: the sticky comment on this PR now reads _Generated for head 92fdd5652bc7a99bde553ff5050f29c43ecc0e91._ — it was regenerated for that head after CI finished, which was very likely after you looked. The finding it reports is "✓ No card-parse changes detected", which matches the change: this PR touches game/interaction.rs and types/interaction.rs only — the projection seam — and no parser, card definition or Oracle-facing surface. The artifact will regenerate again for the head above once its CI run completes.

Changes requested — enforce the outbound attachment budget during derivation, before repeated subtree materialization.

🔴 Blocker

crates/engine/src/game/interaction.rs:7837-7867 allocates a fresh Vec and HashSet for every visible host, then materializes that host's whole descendant tree before it tests either local limit. :7872-7893 recursively walks the same descendants again for every ancestor. The aggregate bound at :8218-8243 correctly rejects the finished payload, but it is reached only after the construction work has completed.

A valid 10,000-deep attachment chain therefore builds roughly 50 million card entries (the prefix sums of all nested views) before the finalizer can fail closed; recursion depth grows with the chain as well. The engine's own runaway-cascade ceiling permits 16,000 object growth (crates/engine/src/game/engine.rs:7183-7190,7261-7269), so this is a reachable engine-shaped state, not merely an invalid fixture. The existing regression at crates/engine/tests/integration/interaction_contract.rs:805-831 uses CHAIN = 200, which demonstrates the final answer but does not exercise the pre-budget allocation or stack-depth limit.

Retain the shared finalizer: it fixed the earlier silent-empty projection. But make attachment_views_for_viewer charge the aggregate card budget while it derives membership, and replace the recursive walk with an iterative/bounded traversal so it returns PayloadTooLarge before materializing an over-budget prefix. Add a cap-depth/deep-chain production-path regression that reaches the early failure, rather than only a small chain whose quadratic expansion completes.

✅ Confirmed

The Result propagation into finalize_viewer_interaction now preserves oversized direct-host and map overflow instead of publishing an authoritative empty attachment map; that prior blocker is resolved on this head.

Recommendation: request changes until attachment-view derivation is itself aggregate-bounded and iterative; the finalizer remains the fail-closed defense, not the first resource limit.

`attachment_views_for_viewer` built each host's whole descendant tree and
only then asked whether it fit, and walked those descendants again for
every ancestor above them. The aggregate bound in `bound_outbound_view`
did reject the finished payload, so the ANSWER was already fail-closed —
but it was reached only after the construction work was done.

A chain 10 000 links long is the worst case: it is the longest chain in
which no single view exceeds the per-view cap, so the per-host check never
fires and the derivation runs to completion. Measured on the new fixture,
that costs 23.2 s and peaks at 7.4 GB resident for a payload of 49 995 000
card entries. CR 732.2's runaway-cascade guard permits one dispatch to
grow the board by 16 000 objects, so this is a reachable board rather than
an invalid fixture, and the engine ships to WASM, where 7.4 GB is
linear-memory exhaustion rather than a slow frame.

The walk is now iterative — its depth is the attachment chain's depth,
which is a game-controlled quantity and does not belong on the call stack
— and it carries the running aggregate, stopping one card past the budget.
The same fixture now costs 0.16 s. The running total is charged by
addition rather than against a remaining allowance, so the bound cannot
underflow if the accounting slips.

Every card charged here is charged again by `bound_outbound_view`
alongside the map, the fans and the opportunities, so the derivation's
total is a lower bound on the finalizer's: it can never refuse a payload
the finalizer would have accepted, and the finalizer stays the single
authority on what the viewer is told.

Regressions: `a_cap_depth_attachment_chain_is_refused_before_it_is_built`
(the 10 000-link worst case, read through the early return, which reaches
the same derivation without the 109 s of action enumeration the derived
path owes over that board) and the existing chain row, deepened from 200
to 1 000 links so it exercises the derived path against a payload of
499 500 cards.

Accepted — fixed.

You are right that the finalizer was the first bound but not the first limit, and that the derivation had already done the work by the time it spoke.

Derivation is now aggregate-bounded and iterative. collect_attachment_subtree walks an explicit frontier — its depth is the attachment chain's depth, a game-controlled quantity that has no business on the call stack — and carries the running aggregate, stopping one card past the budget. The total is charged by addition against MAX_INTERACTION_LIST_LEN rather than against a remaining allowance handed down to the walk, so the bound cannot be expressed as a subtraction that underflows if the accounting slips (it did, in the first draft of this fix; the counter-measurement below is what surfaced it).

Every card charged here is charged again by bound_outbound_view, alongside the map, the fans and the opportunities, so the derivation's total is a lower bound on the finalizer's. That direction is what makes the early refusal safe: it can never refuse a payload the finalizer would have accepted, and the finalizer stays the single authority on the answer — the shared exit is untouched.

On the worst case. It is not the deepest chain, it is a chain of exactly MAX_INTERACTION_LIST_LEN links: the longest one in which no single view exceeds the per-view cap, so the per-host check never fires and the derivation runs to completion. One link longer and the outermost view trips the per-view cap on its own and the walk stops at the first host — which is why a 16 000-link fixture, the CR 732.2 MAX_OBJECT_GROWTH ceiling you cited, is less adversarial than 10 000.

Measured on the new fixture, deriving in full and measuring afterwards costs 23.2 s and peaks at 7.4 GB resident for a payload of 49 995 000 card entries; charging as the walk goes costs 0.16 s and 4.7 GB, which is the fixture itself. The engine ships to WASM, where that gap is linear-memory exhaustion rather than a slow frame.

Regressions:

  • a_cap_depth_attachment_chain_is_refused_before_it_is_built — the 10 000-link worst case.
  • a_deep_attachment_chain_fails_closed_on_the_aggregate — deepened from 200 to 1 000 links, so the derived path is exercised against a payload of 499 500 cards rather than 19 900.

The cap-depth row reads the unauthorized early return. That seat reaches the same membership derivation, and the derived path additionally owes action enumeration over ten thousand permanents — measured on this fixture at 1 s for 1 000 links, 14 s for 3 000 and 109 s for 10 000, which is why the derived-path row sits at the depth it does. Both are stated in the rows' doc comments so the split is not a silent economy.

Counter-measurement, stated plainly: restoring "materialize, then measure" leaves both rows green. The answer was already fail-closed after the previous head — that is exactly your ✅ — so no assertion on the payload can discriminate this change; what changes is 23.2 s / 7.4 GB versus 0.16 s on the same fixture, which is the measurement above rather than an assertion. If you would rather the row asserted a ceiling directly, say so and I will add one; I left wall-clock and RSS out of CI deliberately.

cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings clean; cargo test -p phase-engine green. origin/main is merged in (the parse-diagnostic gate compares against live head, and the branch had gone stale against the parser work in #7396/#7402/#7404/#7405).

Changes requested — current-head proof is incomplete for the attachment-view budget authority.

🔴 Blocker

crates/engine/tests/integration/interaction_contract.rs:869-895 only observes the final derive_viewer_interaction result. That result is also Unsupported { PayloadTooLarge } on the earlier 60f043ee implementation, which materialized a fresh full descendant subtree for every host in attachment_views_for_viewer (crates/engine/src/game/interaction.rs at that head:7837-7867) and let the final aggregate bound reject it afterward (:8218-8248). Thus this row remains green if the early-charging change is reverted and does not prove the claimed "refused before it is built" performance/safety property.

Please add an authority-level regression at attachment_views_for_viewer itself: build the 10,000-link chain and assert that it returns Err(InteractionReasonCode::PayloadTooLarge). Include the counter-measurement showing the test fails when the incremental charge/early-return logic is reverted. Keep the existing public-pipeline rows; they prove the fail-closed response, while the new authority-level row must prove the derivation stops before quadratic subtree materialization.

🔴 Blocker

This engine-source head is 01044718381a2e7db0221721a2ee0043018b8861, including be13c2ab and the merge commit, but the sole <!-- coverage-parse-diff --> artifact is explicitly generated for 60f043ee87834ba36fdcbb9729456af1d399548d (artifact). The current-head parse-diff evidence required for an engine review is therefore missing. Please let CI publish the artifact for this exact head and retain it with the updated proof.

Recommendation: request changes; no maintainer fixup. These are substantive performance-proof and current-head evidence gates, not a small local correction.

The public rows in `interaction_contract` cannot carry this claim. The
aggregate bound in `bound_outbound_view` already refused this payload, so
the ANSWER is `Unsupported { PayloadTooLarge }` with or without the
incremental charge; what the change moves is when the refusal happens.

`the_membership_derivation_refuses_a_worst_case_chain_before_building_it`
asserts on `attachment_views_for_viewer` itself. A chain of exactly
`MAX_INTERACTION_LIST_LEN` links is the only depth that discriminates: it
is the longest one in which no host's own subtree exceeds the per-view
cap, so a derivation that measures after materializing runs to completion.
One link longer and the outermost view trips that cap by itself.

Two reach guards run first — the fixture is exactly
`MAX_INTERACTION_LIST_LEN + 1` objects and no host carries more than one
attachment — so an over-long or fanned-out fixture cannot fail the row for
the wrong reason.

Counter-measured: with the running charge dropped and the post-walk
`cards.len()` check restored, it fails on `Ok`, holding 9 999 views and
49 995 000 cards. The assertion compares by discriminant and reports those
two SIZES rather than the value, because printing the rejected `Ok`
produced 3.2 GB of output for one failed assertion.

Both accepted.

Authority-level regression added, and it discriminates. You are right that the public rows cannot carry this claim — I said as much in the last comment, and turning that into "then test the authority, not the projection" is the better answer.

the_membership_derivation_refuses_a_worst_case_chain_before_building_it (unit, next to attachment_views_for_viewer) builds the 10 000-link chain and asserts the derivation itself returns Err(PayloadTooLarge). It carries two reach guards first — the fixture is exactly MAX_INTERACTION_LIST_LEN + 1 objects, and no host holds more than one attachment — so an over-long or fanned-out fixture cannot fail it for the wrong reason.

Counter-measurement, run: with the running charge dropped from collect_attachment_subtree and the post-walk cards.len() check restored, it fails on Ok, holding 9 999 views and 49 995 000 cards. Restored, green in 0.09 s.

One detail worth mentioning because it bit me: the first version compared with assert_eq! against Err(..), so the failing run tried to print the Ok value — 3.2 GB of formatted output for a single failed assertion. It now compares by discriminant and reports the two SIZES instead, which is both readable and the actual evidence. Anyone running the revert probe gets got 9999 views totalling 49995000 cards rather than a wedged terminal.

The existing public rows are kept as you asked: they prove the fail-closed response through the early return and the derived path, and the new row proves the derivation stops before quadratic materialization.

On the parse-diff artifact: understood, and the point stands on its own — "expected" is not evidence, the artifact has to exist for the head under review. The sticky comment was still the one generated for 60f043ee. This head is 56372a86e (the regression above, plus origin/main merged in), so CI regenerates it here; I will leave the branch alone from now until it lands rather than moving the head out from under it again.

For what it is worth about what that artifact should say: no commit on this branch touches a parser, a card definition or any Oracle-facing surface — the diff is game/interaction.rs, types/interaction.rs and the contract tests — so the expected finding is unchanged from the last three heads. That is context, not proof.

cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings clean; cargo test -p phase-engine green (19 177 unit + 5 021 integration).

Hold — current head 3f5e68d72bd4432380afc2e716b16fcc11547216.

I added a narrow regression test that proves the attachment-fan control labels itself from the engine-published projected card count, rather than the raw attachment count. CI has restarted for this head. Because this PR changes engine interaction code, it also needs the <!-- coverage-parse-diff --> artifact bound to this exact head before approval can resume.

Next step: wait for the current CI run and current-head parse artifact, then re-run the maintainer review.

Hold — current head 9bc3e4b1148a27d68fa6d1305d0cfb3db7a39c2a.

This narrow maintainer fix changes only the PermanentCard singular-label assertion to match English permanent.viewAttachmentsFor_one: View Test Creature's attached card. Its fixture intentionally remains raw attachments [2, 4] and projected cards [2], so it continues to discriminate projection counting from raw attachment counting.

Fresh CI is running for this exact head. Keep the PR on hold until the relevant checks are green and the coverage-parse-diff artifact is bound to this exact head and reports the current parser surface. No direct build or test suite was run for this assertion-only fix.

Approved on current head 9bc3e4b: required checks pass, the exact-head parse artifact reports no card-parse changes, and current feedback is reconciled.
