Summary

Fixes a parse-fidelity defect on Kang Prime.

Issue: "If it doesn't have suspend" (it = the exiled card) parses to SourceLacksKeyword{Suspend}, which at runtime checks the ability's source (Kang Prime) not the exiled ParentTarget — so the guard is always true and never gates on the exiled card actually lacking suspend.

Scope Expansion

Surgically updated 4 stale cards in crates/engine/tests/fixtures/integration_cards.json.gz (full regen was rejected: it pulled ~135 cards of unrelated parser drift); also pinned two pre-existing disclosed gaps for the resolution-time-pick class (Amy's Home / The Eleventh Doctor), which this change provably does not fix and does not regress.

Validation Failures

None blocking: all verification gates passed (tests, coverage supported:true gap:0, semantic-audit clean). Note: the automated review loop was capped before returning fully clean, so some non-blocking reviewer suggestions may remain unaddressed.

CI Failures

None.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The parser now supports strict keyword-presence anaphor lowering with off-zone-aware keyword-kind filters. It re-anchors cost-paid objects, rejects unresolved resolution-time references, preserves printed Suspend parameters, and adds parser and runtime regression coverage.

Changes

Keyword Anaphor Binding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Keyword identity contract
crates/engine/src/types/keywords.rs, crates/engine/src/game/filter.rs
Adds keyword ability-identification logic and documents fail-closed keyword-kind behavior for bare card faces.
Anaphor detection and lowering
crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/conditions.rs, crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/mod.rs, crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/subject.rs
Lowers supported positive and negative keyword anaphors to HasKeywordKind and WithoutKeywordKind. Cost-paid objects are re-anchored. Unresolved resolution-time references become Effect::Unimplemented.
Filter rewriting and parser validation
crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/mod.rs, crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/tests.rs, crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/conditions.rs
Extends recursive keyword rewriting and validates polarity, parameterized keywords, strict failures, subject anchoring, and preservation of object-level filters.
Runtime integration coverage
crates/engine/tests/integration/keyword_anaphor_subject_binding.rs, crates/engine/tests/integration/main.rs, crates/engine/src/game/casting_tests.rs
Adds runtime coverage for subject sources, missing references, unsupported resolution-time choices, and printed Suspend parameters. Registers the integration test module.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0c129

The change corrects Kang Prime’s exiled-card subject binding, but current test and parsing paths still have bounded correctness risks: some runtime checks can pass without completing resolution, cost-paid references may use stale card characteristics, and keyword validation and assertions do not fully guard future or short-circuited cases. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not evaluate a present-tense keyword condition from the payment snapshot.

CostPaidObjectMatchesFilter is documented here as reading the cost-payment-time snapshot. A card can gain or lose the queried keyword after payment when it enters exile. This rewrite then evaluates stale characteristics and can skip or apply a keyword grant incorrectly.

Keep the cost-paid object identity, but evaluate HasKeywordKind or WithoutKeywordKind through the current effective keyword state at resolution. Add a runtime regression where an exile-zone continuous effect changes the queried keyword after payment.

CR 608.2h uses current information for a referenced object in its expected public zone. CR 608.2k keeps that object reference valid when its characteristics change. (media.wizards.com)

Make keyword-identity classification exhaustive.

The other arm marks every future non-Unknown Keyword variant as safe for a kind-level predicate. A new parameterized or aliased family can share a KeywordKind and then produce an incorrect HasKeywordKind or WithoutKeywordKind condition without requiring a classification update.

Enumerate the safe variants, or use an exhaustive central classification, so adding a variant forces an injectivity decision.

As per coding guidelines: “prefer enums over stringly typed data” and “exhaustive matches over wildcard defaults.”

Fail when the runtime driver stops before resolution completes.

settle and drive return after action errors or unhandled WaitingFor states. This makes a stalled pipeline look successful. The line 634 assertion then passes because a card in hand has zero time counters by default.

Review head: 0c1290a4dc208cce8df4d6431f15613ab394fd7b

I ported the contributor head through current main and preserved its four fixture entries while retaining the current-main fixture baseline. This is a formal hold; the required Rust, card-data/coverage, frontend, WASM/Tauri, security, and CodeRabbit runs are all pending for this exact head, and the current-head parse-diff sticky has not been produced yet.

There are also unresolved substantive findings on the implementation itself:

  1. CostPaidObjectMatchesFilter evaluates the new present-tense keyword predicate against cost_paid_object.lki in crates/engine/src/game/effects/mod.rs:13012-13020. That snapshot preserves payment-time characteristics, so a cost-paid card whose effective keywords change in exile before resolution receives the wrong result. Preserve the referenced object's identity but evaluate HasKeywordKind / WithoutKeywordKind from its effective state at resolution; add the exile-zone characteristic-change runtime regression.
  2. The new runtime drivers still treat an action error, unhandled WaitingFor, or loop exhaustion as success (crates/engine/tests/integration/keyword_anaphor_subject_binding.rs:73-95 and :508-559). The resulting assertions can pass without resolving the intended chain; :634-646 additionally checks a zero counter default without first proving the card entered exile. Make those paths fail and add the zone reach guard.
  3. Keyword::kind_identifies_ability retains the non-exhaustive other fallback (crates/engine/src/types/keywords.rs:1685-1694). A newly added non-Unknown keyword can silently become eligible for a kind-level predicate without an injectivity decision. Use an exhaustive safe/unsafe classification so the compiler requires that decision.
  4. The parser tests still include negative-only assertions that can be satisfied by an upstream parse short-circuit (crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/tests.rs:14821-14838 and :14925-14966). Add the specific successful-parse / surviving-body guards alongside the existing negative assertions.

Please update these against current main, including corrected CR annotations after verification against the project rules source, then let the current-head CI and parse-diff complete for a fresh review.

Read the cost-paid referent at resolution, make the keyword-identity
census exhaustive, harden the runtime drivers, and correct the CR
annotations.

1. CostPaidObjectMatchesFilter no longer answers a kind-level keyword
   question from the payment-time snapshot. CR 608.2k keeps the
   reference valid across characteristic changes; it does not freeze
   characteristics. CR 608.2h then supplies the timing: current
   information while the referent is in the public zone it was expected
   to be in. New filter::matches_target_filter_on_cost_paid_reference
   preserves the snapshot's look-back facts but refreshes `keywords`
   from the live object, guarded by a new
   TargetFilter::queries_keyword_kind so a filter with no keyword
   question skips both the off-zone ledger recomputation and the clone.

2. Keyword::kind_identifies_ability drops its `other` fallback for an
   exhaustive 199-variant census, so a new variant is a compile error
   until its injectivity is decided. Behavior is unchanged. The census
   trades derivation for compile-forcing and so can drift from `kind()`
   in a way the compiler cannot see; a debug_assert_ne! pins the one
   arm where that drift would ship a wrong guard.

3. The integration drivers (`settle`, `drive`) now treat an empty stack
   at a priority window as the only legal exit and panic on action
   errors, unexpected prompts, and loop exhaustion. Added the
   Zone::Exile reach-guard before the time-counter pin, since a card
   still in hand shows the same zero.

4. The negative parser assertions gained paired positive reach-guards:
   the Aven Courier fixture pins the surviving PutChosenCounter
   eligibility rider, and each strict-fail row pins its surviving draw
   body plus an explicit absent condition.

CR annotations were re-verified against docs/MagicCompRules.txt. Three
were misapplied: Kang Prime's `it` is a preceding-instruction referent
(CR 608.2c, not CR 608.2k), Momentum Rumbler's gate is an intervening
"if" (CR 603.4 + CR 608.2a, not CR 608.2c), and the one-to-one keyword
test cited double strike (CR 702.4a) for a first-strike sample
(CR 702.7a). Zone::is_public is promoted out of meld.rs rather than
duplicated.

New runtime regression jhoira_reads_a_suspend_granted_in_exile_after_
the_cost_was_paid is revert-fail verified: restoring the snapshot read
fails it on the intended assertion.

The test fixture is left at the current-main baseline. No entry needs
preserving: every card in the new integration test is built through
GameScenario's from-oracle builders, which never consult the fixture.

Ported onto current main (b2071a7f) and addressed all four findings. Summary of what changed since 0c1290a4:

1. Cost-paid keyword predicate now reads resolution-time state

CostPaidObjectMatchesFilter no longer evaluates the new kind-level keyword props against cost_paid_object.lki.

  • New filter::matches_target_filter_on_cost_paid_reference keeps the payment snapshot's look-back facts (type, name, P/T, colors, controller) but refreshes keywords from the live object via off_zone_characteristics::effective_off_zone_keywords when the referent is still in a public zone; a departed or hidden-zone referent still falls back to LKI.
  • Rationale corrected in the code: CR 608.2k keeps the reference valid across characteristic changes — it does not freeze characteristics. CR 608.2h supplies the timing (current information while in the expected public zone). The old doc comment on rewrite_keyword_anaphor_for_cost_paid_parent asserted the opposite and has been rewritten.
  • Guarded by a new TargetFilter::queries_keyword_kind() (same recursive shape as references_cost_paid_object) so a cost-paid filter with no keyword question skips both the ledger recomputation and the snapshot clone.
  • Runtime regression added: jhoira_reads_a_suspend_granted_in_exile_after_the_cost_was_paid. The card is discarded to the cost with no suspend, gains Suspend 4—{U} from a Layer-6 continuous effect while in exile, then the ability resolves. Verified revert-fail: swapping the call back to matches_target_filter_on_lki_snapshot fails the test on the intended assertion (Some({0}) instead of Some({U})).

2. Runtime drivers fail on non-terminal states

settle and drive now treat an empty stack at a priority window as the only legal exit. Action errors, unexpected prompts, and loop exhaustion all panic with the offending state instead of returning quietly. Added the Zone::Exile reach-guard before the time-counter assertion at the former :634, since a card still in hand also shows zero counters.

3. kind_identifies_ability is exhaustive

The other fallback is gone; the match now censuses all 199 Keyword variants in three documented groups (6 parameter-renamed / kind-shared, 61 Unknown-bucket, 132 identifying), so a new variant is a compile error until its injectivity is decided. The arms were generated from the kind() match itself rather than transcribed.

Note this trades derivation for compile-forcing and so opens a drift hole the old code did not have — a new variant censused true but mapped to Unknown in kind(). Closed with a debug_assert_ne! in the true arm (the only arm that can be wrong that way; the other two answer false, which is always safe). No behavior change: the classification is identical to what the fallback computed today — the only kind actually aliased by two variants is Hexproof/HexproofFrom, already in the false set.

4. Negative parser assertions have paired reach-guards

  • The Aven Courier fixture now asserts the positive shape first: the clause is consumed by the counter path as PutChosenCounter { target_condition: Some(EQ, Fixed(0)) }. Derived empirically from the parser, not guessed.
  • Each strict-fail row now pins its surviving Effect::Draw { Fixed(1), Controller } body before asserting the absent predicate, plus an explicit condition == None, so an upstream short-circuit can no longer satisfy them.

CR annotations

Every CR number added by this PR was re-verified against docs/MagicCompRules.txt. Three were misapplied and are corrected:

  • Kang Prime's it is a preceding-instruction referent → CR 608.2c ("read the whole text and apply the rules of English"), not CR 608.2k. CR 608.2k is now cited only for the cost-paid and trigger-condition classes, as you and CodeRabbit both noted.
  • Momentum Rumbler's Whenever …, if … is an intervening-"if" → CR 603.4 + CR 608.2a, not CR 608.2c.
  • The kind_identifies_ability one-to-one test cited CR 702.4a (double strike) for a sample containing first strike → CR 702.7a.

Fixture

crates/engine/tests/fixtures/integration_cards.json.gz is now untouched by this PR — it sits at the current-main baseline. The contributor head's copy was stale in both directions (36 cards behind main, 71 entries of unrelated drift), and the merge conflicted on it. It turns out no fixture change is needed at all: every card in the new integration test is built through add_*_from_oracle / GameScenario builders, which synthesize objects directly and never consult shared_card_db(). So there are no "four entries" left to preserve.

Verification

Head 493b5a09:

  • cargo fmt --all — clean
  • cargo clippy -p phase-engine --all-targets -- -D warnings — exit 0
  • cargo test -p phase-engine — exit 0, 24480 passed / 0 failed / 15 ignored across 5 binaries (19339 lib + 21 + 9 + 5111 integration + 0/7 ignored), including all 12 keyword_anaphor_subject_binding::* tests
  • scripts/check-parser-combinators.sh — Gate G PASS + Gate A PASS (Family-D self-test green; needs a real python3 ahead of the WindowsApps stub on PATH)
  • check-engine-authorities, check-prelowered-ratchet, check-resolution-frame-boundaries, check-test-card-data-load — all pass
  • check-legacy-quantity-callsites — not runnable locally (needs Python 3.10+ for X | None; only 3.9 available here). The diff touches no quantity call sites, and CI's Rust lint (fmt, clippy, parser gate) job covers it — green.
  • CI on this head — all 13 checks pass.

The parse-diff sticky for 493b5a09 is identical to the one for 0c1290a4 — same 13 cards, same 7 signatures. That is the intended result: findings 2–4 are tests and annotations, finding 1 is runtime-only, and finding 3 is behavior-identical, so none of this round moved the parser surface.

The 5111 passing integration tests against main's untouched fixture are also the evidence for the fixture claim above.
