  • fix(engine): drain parked triggers at phase boundaries so a prompt can't wedge the turn
  • docs(engine): correct rotted anchors, miscited CR numbers, and a false universal
  • docs(engine): fix a doc-lint red and retire three more unverifiable universals

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved turn progression across attacker declaration, end combat, upkeep, and cleanup.
    • Deferred triggered abilities now move to the stack at the correct priority points.
    • Prevented stale combat prompts and incorrectly resurfaced trigger prompts.
    • Improved validation and handling of combat-related waiting prompts.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive coverage for deferred triggers, prompt ordering, combat transitions, end-of-combat behavior, and cleanup.

…n't wedge the turn

A game could freeze with `phase == EndCombat` while `waiting_for` still held
`DeclareAttackers`, leaving no seat with a legal action.

`current_trigger_prompt` echoes the live prompt whenever `deferred_triggers` is
non-empty. When a phase advance collected an empty trigger batch, that echo
re-emitted the stale declaration prompt instead of draining the queue. A
non-`Priority` prompt skips the post-action pipeline, which is where the only
existing deferred drain lives, so the queue could never drain and the echo
re-fired on every resubmission.

- `turns::process_phase_triggers` drains the parked queue directly
  (CR 603.3: parked triggers go on the stack the next time a player would
  receive priority).
- `current_trigger_prompt` no longer treats a non-empty `deferred_triggers` as
  grounds to echo an unrelated prompt.
- `execute_cleanup` settles a still-parked queue (CR 514.3a).
- `public_state::sync_waiting_for` gains a `debug_assert!` pairing each
  step-bound prompt with its phase, so a future unbound pairing fails loudly.
…e universal

Comment-only follow-up to the parked-trigger drain fix. No executable line changes.

- The `skip_deferred_trigger_drain` comment claimed every call site passes `false`.
  It does not: `park_cast_during_resolution_cast_observers` passes the positional
  literal `true`. The census grepped the identifier, and a positional argument
  carries none, so the instrument could not have returned the counterexample.
  Replaced with the structural argument, which needs no census: the drain is gated
  by `can_drain_deferred_triggers`, which refuses while a parent resolution
  continuation is open (CR 608.2e).
- Three rotted line anchors, two of them created by the preceding commit's own
  inserted lines. Re-anchored to item names so they survive code motion.
- CR 506.1 (the five combat steps) did not state the proposition it was cited for;
  the rule is CR 703.1 (turn-based actions). Three sites.
- CR 702.154a -> CR 702.154b, the subpart that actually states enlist's static
  ability is an optional cost to attack (CR 508.1g). Three sites.
- CR 104.4b was cited for a termination argument it undercuts: its draw applies to
  loops of mandatory actions and expressly excludes loops containing an optional
  action. Now named explicitly as not the authority.
- The cleanup settlement comment no longer implies a live path; it states that it
  guards a state the phase-boundary drain makes unreachable through the public API.
…niversals

Comment-only. No executable line changes.

- `public_state.rs` had a doc list continuation indented past its sibling, which
  trips `clippy::doc_overindented_list_items` under `-D warnings` and fails CI.
  It sits inside `#[cfg(test)] mod tests`, so it lints only in the `lib test`
  target — rustfmt does not evaluate doc lints, and a clippy run that aborts on an
  earlier target never reaches it.
- A comment asserted that no producer can construct an unbound step-bound pairing,
  while the next paragraph of the same comment conceded that a large number of
  sites assign `state.waiting_for` directly. The assertion and the admission that
  its population was never enumerated stood one paragraph apart. The
  `debug_assert!` rationale is now stated as the intent it enforces rather than as
  a proof of impossibility.
- "the only drain on those paths" replaced with the structural fact that carries
  it: `start_game_skip_mulligan` reaches `turns::auto_advance` and returns an
  `ActionResult` without invoking the post-action pipeline, so the pipeline's
  drain does not run there. No claim about drain-site population is needed.
- The remaining census-derived input is now labelled with its blind spot: an
  identifier search cannot see a macro-generated or trait-dispatched call, so it
  reports "none found", not "none exists".

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The engine now validates combat waiting prompts against their phases and drains deferred triggers during phase and cleanup processing. Tests cover attacker declaration, upkeep, cleanup, trigger ordering, source identity, and normal turn progression.

Changes

Combat and deferred trigger flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Combat prompt phase validation
crates/engine/src/game/public_state.rs
Combat declaration and damage-assignment prompts map to required phases. Synchronization asserts valid phase placement while optional prompts remain unbound.
Deferred trigger boundary processing
crates/engine/src/game/triggers.rs, crates/engine/src/game/turns.rs
Only active pending triggers produce trigger prompts. Deferred triggers drain during phase-trigger and cleanup processing, with priority or ordering prompts returned when required.
Combat and turn-boundary regression coverage
crates/engine/src/game/turns_declare_attackers_wedge_tests.rs, crates/engine/tests/integration/declare_attackers_end_combat_pairing.rs, crates/engine/tests/integration/main.rs
Tests cover deferred-trigger settlement, trigger ordering, source identity, stale prompt removal, cleanup, upkeep, and ordinary turn progression.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 43eb6

The PR adds phase-boundary trigger draining and documentation updates, but two ordering tests still validate only the prompt variant, allowing a degenerate or misaddressed prompt to pass. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on this bounded correctness risk.

356-360: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Bind the CR 603.3b ordering assertions to the seat and the trigger count. Both rows assert only the WaitingFor::OrderTriggers variant. A prompt carrying one trigger, or a prompt addressed to the wrong seat, satisfies that check. CR 603.3b binds the ordering choice to the controller of the simultaneous triggered abilities, and the sibling test in crates/engine/src/game/engine_phase_trigger_regression_tests.rs already asserts both fields.

…ger count

Both ordering rows asserted only the `WaitingFor::OrderTriggers` variant, which a
prompt carrying one trigger — or one addressed to the wrong seat — would satisfy.
CR 603.3b binds the ordering choice to the controller of the simultaneous
triggered abilities, so assert that: `player == PlayerId(0)` and two offered
contexts, matching the sibling assertion in
`engine_phase_trigger_regression_tests.rs`.

Both tests seed two distinct observers (Altar of the Brood + Impact Tremors)
under one controller and already assert `deferred_triggers.len() == 2`, so the
prompt must offer both.

Raised by CodeRabbit on #7475; independently flagged as LOW-6 in the
implementation review.

Addressed in 43eb686 — both CR 603.3b ordering rows now destructure the prompt and assert player == PlayerId(0) plus triggers.len() == 2, matching the sibling assertion in engine_phase_trigger_regression_tests.rs.

Verified rather than applied blind: both tests seed two distinct observers (Altar of the Brood + Impact Tremors) under a single controller and already assert deferred_triggers.len() == 2, so both the seat and the count are correct as suggested. The weaker matches! form would indeed have been satisfied by a one-trigger prompt or one addressed to the wrong seat.

This was also raised independently as LOW-6 in the implementation review before the PR was opened.

…iggers can drain (phase-rs#7485)

* fix(engine): recover ownerless post-replacement dispatch so parked triggers can drain

A game could freeze permanently after Mycoloth's devour trigger, with a live
prompt no action could clear and no legal move for any seat (Discord thread
1537641754298290226).

A `PostReplacement` resolution frame was left stranded with
`DrainStatus::Dispatching`. Cleanup addressed its entry positionally, probing
only the top two frames, so it returned `None` whenever the continuation
raised two or more frames, and could alias a sibling frame when it did match.
A stranded `Dispatching` resident makes `resolution_completion_can_settle`
false forever, and every deferred-trigger drain is gated behind that
predicate, so parked triggers could never reach the stack (CR 603.3b).

This is the second half of a two-defect stack. phase-rs#7475 made
`turns::process_phase_triggers` drain the parked queue at a phase boundary;
that drain is gated behind `triggers::can_drain_deferred_triggers`, whose
first condition is `resolution_completion_can_settle`. Removing the strand is
the precondition for it — without this fix the queue could not drain no matter
how many boundaries offered it the chance.

- `game/effects/mod.rs`, `game/engine.rs`, `game/engine_replacement.rs`:
  `sweep_ownerless_post_replacement_strand` retires a resident whose dispatch
  is no longer live, called at the entry of `apply_action_boundary_core`. A
  thread-local `LiveDispatchGuard` reports whether a dispatch is on the call
  stack, so the sweep cannot reach into live parked work.
- `types/game_state.rs`, `types/resolution.rs`: post-replacement dispatch is
  addressed by identity (`PostReplacementFrameId`) rather than by position,
  threaded through the v2 wire round trip.
- `types/resolution.rs`: the paired post-replacement/multi-draw adjacency
  invariant now admits a transient direct-choice frame above the paused pair.
  CR 614.11a requires all actions required by a replacement to be completed
  before the draw sequence resumes; when one of those actions is a player's
  choice, the game must rest on that choice with the draw parked beneath it.
  The rejection of a genuinely buried pair is unchanged.
- `game/engine.rs`: the CR 603.5 prompt census pins are re-measured for this
  base. The set is unchanged (total 41, partition 5/8/28 on both sides) and
  every pin composes additively from main's coordinate plus this branch's own
  insertion, which is the set-preservation evidence.

Verified against game states captured from the report at turns 15 and 20.

* fix(engine): make identity-addressed frame access a first-class mode

`scripts/check-resolution-frame-boundaries.sh` forbade every search of
`ResolutionStack::frames`, on the rationale that the stack permits only top
access or a captured adjacent-pair boundary. Identity addressing is the whole
point of the `PostReplacementFrameId` change — positional addressing was the
bug — so the guard and the fix genuinely conflicted.

Resolved by widening the access model rather than carving out an exception:

- `post_replacement_frame_index` is now the SINGLE search over `frames`, and
  the `usize` no longer escapes it. Two payload accessors
  (`post_replacement_frame` / `post_replacement_frame_mut`) sit on top, and the
  three operations take the payload — removing three duplicated
  `frames.get_mut(index)` + `match` + `unreachable!()` blocks.
- The shape mirrors `DrawSequenceStack::frame_mut` / `active_if` / `pop`, the
  same access mode on a sibling frame stack, so this follows a convention the
  codebase already has rather than inventing a third one.
- The guard exempts exactly that one function, anchored by name through the
  script's own `function_span()` idiom (already used for four other allowlists).
  The rule is "one search, there", not "any search that looks identity-shaped":
  a second call site cannot acquire a search by copying the expression, and
  because `function_span()` raises when its target is missing, renaming or
  deleting the accessor fails the guard loudly instead of silently widening it.
- The exemption's soundness rests on ids never being reissued and unstamped
  frames never matching. Both are already pinned by rows in this branch
  (`h6a_legacy_id_less_post_replacement_frames_restore_unstamped`,
  `v2_reader_recovers_discard_allocator_and_rejects_duplicate_frame_ids`); the
  accessor's doc names them so the dependency is visible rather than assumed.

Also strengthens two assertions raised in review:

- A4 paired its `deferred_triggers.is_empty()` check with an exact
  `triggers_reaching_the_stack` equality. Emptiness alone is equally satisfied
  by a queue that was DISCARDED, which is a CR 603.3b violation the row would
  otherwise have passed.
- H4 replaced a three-way `{stack, deferred, pending order}` disjunction with
  the observed destination. The disjunction accepted a trigger that fired and
  then parked forever — the exact failure this branch repairs. Run to confirm
  the pinned destination is `stack` rather than assumed.

* fix(guard): enforce the identity-search rule the guard's prose already claimed

The frame-boundary guard exempted the whole span of
`post_replacement_frame_index` from the `frames`-search ban. That enforces
"searches only there", while both the script header and the accessor's doc
comment claim the stronger "one search, there". A guarantee stated in prose but
absent from the check is worse than an undocumented one, because it stops the
next reader looking.

Three properties are now checked rather than assumed:

- exactly one `fn post_replacement_frame_index` is defined. `function_span`
  takes the first textual match, so a second definition would silently decide
  which one is exempt;
- its span holds exactly one search, so the exemption cannot be widened from
  the inside by adding a second search beside the first;
- that search selects on `frame_id() == Some(id)`, so what is exempted is an
  identity lookup rather than a positional probe wearing the accessor's name.

The removal patterns (`remove`/`swap_remove`/`retain`/`drain`/`truncate`/
`clear`) are no longer exempted inside the accessor either. They were exempt
only as a side effect of both patterns sharing one span list; the accessor reads
`frames` and never restructures it, so that exemption was never earned.

Each condition was watched go red on an out-of-tree replica of the tree before
being accepted, with the replica green on either side of every run:

| control | result |
|---|---|
| second search inside the accessor | red: "found 2" |
| predicate changed to non-identity | red: "must select frames by identity" |
| duplicate accessor definition | red: "found 2" definitions |
| search outside the accessor (regression) | red, as before |

The duplicate-definition control also confirms the failure is closed rather than
open: the decoy takes the exemption and the real search is then reported.

The accessor's doc comment is corrected to say the count is enforced, since its
previous claim that "a second search anywhere in this file still fails the
guard" was false for a second search inside that body.
