Summary

Weathered Sentinels' second line — "This creature can attack players who attacked you during their last turn as though it didn't have defender" — parsed to the inverse of what it says, granting Defender instead of excepting it. Three productions each recognised the defender-exception phrase with their own ad-hoc spelling, and the one that claimed this line fused the permission into an AddKeyword(Defender). This routes all of them through one shared combinator, and scopes the "attacked you last turn" condition to the player actually being attacked. Closes #8785.

Read the diffstat with this in mind: a one-card fix is +6673/−311 across 25 files because ~2183 of the added lines are tests. The production delta is roughly 400 lines, concentrated in one new parser module plus one consolidated combat helper.

LLM

Model: claude-opus-5[1m]
Tier: Frontier
Thinking: high

Implementation method (required)

Method: /engine-implementer

Run in three chartered phases, each through the full plan → review → implement → review loop:

Phase Head What it did
1 59ba27c59 Scope the "attacked you last turn" condition to the attacked player
2 4464c743b Polarity-typed anchor deferral; one defender-permission authority
3 03ef47f29 One shared defender-exception combinator, wired into five grammar sites

The three intervals tile f4652bf7b..03ef47f29 exactly — verified by git rev-list set arithmetic: union of the three equals the whole, zero duplicates, no commit outside an accepted interval. Two further commits (ef9bd9a1d, 6115f7518) sit outside that range: they address review findings raised after phase 3 was accepted, and are described under Review findings below.

CR references

CR 702.3b (can attack as though it didn't have defender), CR 508.1a/1b/1c/1d/1k (declaring attackers; the creature→target pairing and its restrictions), CR 508.6, CR 506.2/506.3, CR 509.1b, CR 510.1c, CR 609.4, CR 611.2c (continuous effects from resolution), CR 611.3a (continuous effects from static abilities), CR 109.5, CR 302.6, CR 604.1.

CR 611.3a is by its own text limited to static abilities, so the resolution-side production cites CR 611.2c instead — a correction made during review, where the earlier revision had applied 611.3a to both.

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. Not satisfied: the review is clean for the pre-rebase head 4f9514e0d; no review has been run against 03ef47f29. See Rebase.
  • Both anchors cite existing analogous code at the same seam.

Re-run against the rebased head 03ef47f29, and again at 6115f7518 after the two review fixes (same counts — see Review findings). Provenance, stated precisely because it differs between rows: the gate, build and test rows below were run in the primary CIFS checkout at that head (clean tree, verified by git status --porcelain), not in a detached ext4 worktree; the parse-impact measurement and the probe-pin row were run in detached ext4 worktrees with dedicated target directories and CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0.

  • bash ./scripts/check-parser-combinators.sh origin/main — rc 0, Gate A PASS, Gate G PASS
  • bash ./scripts/check-prelowered-ratchet.sh — rc 0, Gate P PASS (no producer count increased)
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check — rc 0
  • cargo clippy --locked --workspace --exclude phase-tauri --all-targets --features engine/proptest -- -D warnings (the exact CI invocation) — rc 0, zero warnings
  • cargo check -p phase-engine — rc 0
  • cargo check -p phase-ai — rc 0
  • cargo test -p phase-engine --lib (unfiltered) — 21870 passed; 0 failed; 8 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out
  • cargo test -p phase-engine --test integration (unfiltered) — 7488 passed; 0 failed; 4 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out
  • cargo test -p probe-pin — rc 0, 68 passed; 0 failed; 1 ignored

This change adds +54 lib tests and +1 integration test, counted directly off the diff (#[test] attributes added: 54 under crates/engine/src/, 1 under crates/engine/tests/, zero removed). That count is base-independent and re-derived at each rebase; it is still 54/1 against 1088dfb18.

It was also confirmed by differencing suite totals against an earlier base (f4652bf7b: 21784 lib, 7453 integration, versus 21838/7454 on the branch — exactly +54/+1). That differencing is not repeated on every rebase, because main adds tests of its own between bases and the direct count is the stabler instrument. (For the record, the first of those baseline runs reported 21783 passed; 1 failed; two subsequent full runs of the identical tree reported 21784 passed; 0 failed — see CI Failures.)

An earlier revision of this PR stated "+25 tests, all on the --lib side, and changes no integration test." Both halves were wrong: the integration-side test in goad_badge_defender_gated_anchor.rs is real, and the lib delta is 54. The figure came from differencing two suite totals rather than counting the diff.

The three charter-tracked integration modules are green within that binary: defending_player_controls_combat_anchor 7/7, goad_badge_defender_gated_anchor 6/6, issue_8183_static_gate_fail_open 18/18.

End-to-end behaviour, measured at the declaration validator — this one measurement is carried from before the rebase (head 4f9514e0d) and was not re-run against 03ef47f29; the behaviour it shows is covered by lib and integration tests that were re-run — (not merely at the published target map), on a board seeded so P1 attacked the controller last turn and P2 did not, with statics parsed from verbatim Oracle text:

validate_attack_declaration(wall -> P1) = Ok(())
validate_attack_declaration(wall -> P2) = Err("... can't attack Player(PlayerId(2)) (CR 508.1c/d attack restriction)")

Gate A

Gate A PASS head=2cb2c7f2fc6c8a55c3fec1eb5778ea067f0cf920 base=1088dfb187fa4f7bede8f61daf7d1515dddbaaae

Anchored on

  • crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_nom/enchant.rs:1 — the existing oracle_nom shared-combinator module for the Enchant grammar, whose module doc states its purpose as having the type-leg axis (CR 702.5a) and the controller clause (CR 109.4) defined exactly once and composed by call sites in two different modules. Same seam, same pattern defender_exception.rs instantiates.
  • crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_static/static_helpers.rs:1781unenforceable_gate_marker, the existing authority for a fail-closed unenforceable gate: Not(Unrecognized{text}), read as false forever while contains_unrecognized and coverage::check_statics still report the gap. Both of this change's fail-closed terminals route to this function rather than inventing a second marker.

Final review-impl

Final review-impl PASS head=4f9514e0d31debf40efb5574b783d3398c6be3aa — the pre-rebase head.
No review has been run against 03ef47f29. The rebase onto f4652bf7b resolved three conflicts, one of
them a semantic content change not covered by that review; all three are itemised under Rebase below,
and the full gate battery was re-run against the rebased head.

Claimed parse impact

Six cards. 0 added, 0 removed; 35,943 keys on each side; coverage identical
(32310/35145, 2835 unimplemented).

Card Change
Weathered Sentinels gains CanAttackWithDefender carrying AnyPlayerAttackedYouLastTurn{scope: AttackedPlayer}; loses the inverted AddKeyword(Defender)
Expedition Lookout gains its printed CantBeBlocked companion, gated on the same graveyard condition as the permission — the card was previously half-enforced
Ichor Aberration conditional: unrecognizednot (unrecognized)
Karsus Depthguard same
Novice Knight same
Surveillance Phantasm same

The four not (unrecognized) cards are the fail-closed correction: a bare Unrecognized
evaluates TRUE, so a printed " as long as <gate>" the parser could not type became an
UNCONDITIONAL attack permission. They now withhold the permission instead of granting it,
while coverage still reports the clause as an unimplemented gap.

Measured two ways that agree. Locally: base-vs-head artifact regeneration at the branch's
merge-base 8843c6825, one pinned MTGJSON vintage (MTGJSON_SKIP_REFRESH=1, cache week
2026-W38), gated on both sides — base verified to predate the change, candidate verified
to carry it. In CI: the coverage-parse-diff receipt for head fd02dc6ca against baseline
8f2ff2985909 reports the same six cards and four signatures, independently and from a
different baseline.

This section previously read "Weathered Sentinels — and only that card." That was
accurate when written and went stale when the fail-closed gate fix landed, which moved
four more cards, and again when the companion composer landed, which moved Expedition
Lookout. Corrected here rather than left for a reader to catch against the receipt.

One earlier local run of this measurement reported 59 changed cards. That figure was an
artifact of comparing against origin/main rather than the branch's merge-base, so
main's own commits (50112daa1 Empower Jace, 13dfb9a7b target timing) appeared as
absences. The base-side gate described above exists to make that failure impossible to
repeat silently.

Rebase

Rebased from bd1f78ed0 onto f4652bf7b (93 commits of main). Old head 4f9514e0d → new head 03ef47f29;
11 commits preserved, diffstat unchanged at 25 files, +6673/−311. Three files conflicted:

  1. crates/engine/src/game/ability_rw.rs — import-list union (KeeperConstraint from main,
    AttackedYouScope from this branch). Mechanical.

  2. crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/tests.rs — both sides appended test blocks at EOF and the split
    landed mid-statement, so the two sides shared one trailing );/}. Both blocks kept, each closed.

  3. crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/subject.rssemantic, not mechanical. main's fix(parser,engine): "any number of" target sets, anaphors and damage sources #8923
    introduced AnaphorConsumer and converted every subject call site to
    parse_subject_application_for(subject, ctx, AnaphorConsumer::AffectedObject). This branch had rewritten the
    head of try_parse_can_attack_with_defender while keeping base's bare parse_subject_application(subject, ctx).
    Resolved to this branch's combinator rewrite plus main's _for(..., AffectedObject) binding.

    Resolving in this branch's favour wholesale would have compiled clean and passed every test here, because
    main keeps parse_subject_application as a wrapper delegating with AnaphorConsumer::Other — silently
    reverting fix(parser,engine): "any number of" target sets, anaphors and damage sources #8923's anaphor binding for this production. The same line conflicted again on ad86ef4a6, where it
    collided with that commit's own comment rewrite, and was resolved the same way.

Review findings

CodeRabbit raised 9 findings against the rebased head. Two are fixed here; seven are pre-existing and
deferred.
The corpus measurement above is what establishes "pre-existing": exactly one key changed between
base and head, so no finding below moves a shipping card relative to main. Each named card was checked
individually against the base/candidate key sets.

Fixed

  • ef9bd9a1dCR 514.2 miscitation. Verified against the in-repo docs/MagicCompRules.txt:2442: CR 514.2
    covers damage removal and the end of "until end of turn" and "this turn" effects. It does not define an
    attack-history snapshot, and no rule does. Three sites added by this branch now drop the citation and label the
    cleanup-step rollover as engine implementation; CR 508.6 remains as the authority for "has attacked
    [a player]". A pre-existing fourth at ability_rw.rs:6895 carries the same error in base's text and is left
    for a follow-up.
  • 6115f7518wildcard match made exhaustive in defending_player_anchored_form, per CLAUDE.md's
    "exhaustive match without wildcard fallbacks when the enum is known". All 60 other StaticCondition
    variants are enumerated; the list is generated from the enum, and with the wildcard gone the compiler proves
    it exact. Behaviour-identical.

Both re-verified at 6115f7518: fmt rc 0, the exact CI clippy line rc 0, lib 21838 passed; 0 failed,
integration 7454 passed; 0 failed — every count unmoved, which is the point.

Deferred, with the corpus evidence

Finding Real? Corpus impact Listed as
evasion.rs:3110 trailing as long as gate fails open yes contributes to the 4 cards below gap 8
tests.rs:37260 leading condition gate fails open yes 4 cards — Novice Knight, Karsus Depthguard, Ichor Aberration, Surveillance Phantasm gap 8 (same root cause)
evasion.rs:3075 Expedition Lookout loses and it can't be blocked yes 1 card gap 6
grammar.rs:854 attached-subject loses its trailing condition yes 0 cards gap 2
tests.rs:37179 restates the two above
tests.rs:71504 duration derived from a subject qualifier arguable 0 cards gap 4
tests.rs:36730 production (a) emits the defender inverse for the duration form yes 0 cards

The last one deserves naming plainly: it is #8785's own defect shape on a sibling grammar. It is pinned rather
than fixed because no corpus card prints a duration-form defender-exception line as a static line, and widening
this PR to chase it would put a second unreviewed behaviour change into a branch scoped to one card.

The two fail-open rows are the ones worth taking next: they share a single root cause
(parse_static_condition(..).unwrap_or(Unrecognized{..})), the remedy already exists in the tree
(unenforceable_gate_marker), and four shipping cards currently apply their attack permission unconditionally.

Scope Expansion

None.

Validation Failures

None unresolved. One local-environment-only failure, recorded for transparency:

probe-pin::pure_logic::proj_missing fails on the CIFS mount this work was done on, with Permission denied (os error 13) executing crates/probe-pin/tests/fixtures/astgrep_three.sh, because the mount forces file_mode=0644. It passes (68 passed; 0 failed) in an ext4 worktree where the exec bit survives. probe-pin declares no dependency on phase-engine and no probe-pin file is touched by this change.

CI Failures

None for this branch — 03ef47f29 runs 0 failed on both suites.

One observation about main, recorded because it may surface in this PR's CI run: while measuring the baseline at f4652bf7b, the first full --lib run reported 21783 passed; 1 failed. Two subsequent full runs of the same tree reported 21784 passed; 0 failed, so the failure is intermittent and I did not capture its name before it stopped reproducing. It occurred on a tree that contains none of this branch's commits, so it is not introduced by this change; it is flagged here only so a one-off red CI run is not mistaken for a regression from this PR.


Corrections to commit messages in this branch

Three commit messages overstate. None was amended: at the time, amending would have moved SHAs that completed reviews had been run against. The rebase has since moved every SHA anyway, but the messages were carried through unaltered so that the rebase is a pure replay — the corrections stand here instead. (An earlier revision of this paragraph said "Two" and then listed three.)

  1. 4464c743b says "the two hard-coded matches!(mode, CantAttack | CantAttackOrBlock) guards are gone." Base had three; exactly one was removed. Re-verified by grep at both SHAs.
  2. b7007e189 says "Integration 7057 passed." The measured figure at that time was 7055, unchanged from Phase 2. I carried a number from a subagent report into a commit message without verifying it. (Both figures are pre-rebase, against base bd1f78ed0; the post-rebase integration total is 7454.)
  3. ad86ef4a6 enumerates three "As long as … this turn," corpus lines; there are four (Surveillance Phantasm is the fourth). It behaves identically and the in-code comments do not enumerate, so the conclusion is unaffected — but the sentence reads as exhaustive and is not.

Known gaps, deferred deliberately

None affects a shipping card — the parse-impact measurement above shows zero corpus movement beyond the target card — and none is a charter acceptance row.

  1. Display gap on the target card, in the common case. With Weathered Sentinels on the battlefield and nobody having attacked its controller, the creature is published in valid_attacker_ids with an empty target list and no constraint badge, so a player can select it and be shown nothing. Rules enforcement is correct — the declaration is refused — but the UI has nothing to explain it with. The repair is one badge arm in the declare-attackers walk covering both polarities. This is the one I would fix first.
  2. Production (a) drops a printed as long as gate for interposed lines, where production (b) conjoins it, so the permission applies unconditionally. Measured. Mitigating: production (a) already dropped such gates at base for the plain contiguous form, so this widens a pre-existing defect's reach rather than introducing a new fail-open path.
  3. The interposed-segment scan is unbounded and can swallow a following sentence. Fails closed (the card goes red in coverage); containment is empirical rather than structural.
  4. The effect production can stamp a spurious UntilEndOfTurn when an interposed segment contains "this turn"; inert today because the paired condition is the unenforceable marker.
  5. Row 5's runtime-inertness assertion has no paired reach-guard; it is non-vacuous today only because Unrecognized => true is state-independent, which the test does not assert.
  6. Production (b)'s widened arm beats the can't be blocked arm for one interposed shape, dropping the block clause while coverage stays green — same class as base's Expedition Lookout behaviour.
  7. Thirteen internal planning coordinates survive inside assert!/expect message strings, where they surface in CI failure output. A comment-only cleanup could not reach them.
  8. The trailing as long as gate on production (b) fails open. When parse_static_condition returns None, the fallback builds StaticCondition::Unrecognized, which evaluate_condition reads as true (layers.rs:1582, :1871, :2120) — so an unparseable gate imposes no restriction. The repo's standing remedy is unenforceable_gate_marker, whose Not(Unrecognized) shape reads false while keeping the coverage gap visible. Pre-existing: this diff only relocates the expression into the new trailing closure, it does not introduce it. Raised by CodeRabbit on this PR (evasion.rs:3108) and deliberately left out of scope for [Card Bug] Weathered Sentinels: attack permission is parsed as a Defender grant #8785, since swapping it is a behaviour change owed its own discriminating test.

On layers.rs's latch arm: Phase 1's two pin commits (634e5f591, a9e686192) buy a unit property, not a runtime one. Every attack-legality read goes through active_static_definitions_for_attack, where the deferral answers first or binds the anchor, so that arm has no production consumer whose verdict it changes today. It is the CR 508.1k-correct answer and mirrors DefendingPlayerControls, but please don't read those commits as runtime coverage.

What this run found about its own tests

Across the three phases, nineteen mis-declared discrimination claims were found — assertions that a test would catch something it provably could not. Every one was found by executing something: a mutation, a counter, a probe build, a derived inventory. Not one was found by reading. And in every case the production code was already correct; it was the claim about the test that was wrong.

Phase 3's implementation came through its review with zero such claims, after eleven applied mutations — which is what six rounds of plan review bought.

Four more turned up in comments during final polish, including two introduced by the cleanup commits themselves: a Guarded by naming a test that did not guard its line (the decision was genuinely unguarded — ad86ef4a6 adds the discriminating fixture), a wrong census denominator, an explanation true of one of two fixtures, and a census enumerating 53 of the 56 lines it claimed. Each was caught by a command and none by reading.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds scoped attack-history conditions, target-aware defender permissions, and a shared parser for interposed defender clauses. It updates condition evaluation, static-ability filtering, combat checks, serialization, coverage, and regression tests.

Changes

Defender attack permissions

Static applicability now uses polarity-typed deferral. Attack evaluation binds targets and checks intrinsic and carrier permissions through one authority.
Shared defender-exception parser
crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_nom/defender_exception.rs, crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_nom/mod.rs, crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_static/mod.rs
A shared recognizer classifies unrestricted, duration, anchored, unanchorable, and unrecognized segments. It returns permission conditions or inert markers.
Parser integrations and regression coverage
crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_static/*, crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/*, crates/engine/tests/integration/...
Static and effect productions parse interposed defender clauses, preserve adjacent grammar behavior, and attach recognized conditions to CanAttackWithDefender.

Hold: current-main merge needs a semantic, not mechanical, resolution.

At this head (4f9514e0d31debf40efb5574b783d3398c6be3aa), merging current main (b06ddcee5c2d64be9a5c4051b5dc0d07a73813df) from merge-base bd1f78ed0de22025b48e2ad742491ec97eb983c8 conflicts in crates/engine/src/game/ability_rw.rs, crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/subject.rs, and four overlapping regions of crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/tests.rs.

This is mainline drift, but it is not safe to resolve by choosing a side or unioning text: the parser conflict combines the new defender-exception routing with current subject parsing, and the test conflicts interleave the defender regression suite with current-main parser suites. A mechanical port could silently discard assertions or attach setup to the wrong parser behavior.

Please resolve those parser/test interactions against current main, then request a fresh full review of the resulting head (including current-head parse/CI evidence). No maintainer port was pushed.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Prevent rejected defender compounds from reaching the generic fallback.

When the compound gate accepts one segment, a later defender-shaped segment can fail the all-consuming recognizer. build_defender_attack_continuous_compound then returns None, and this caller reparses the full predicate with parse_continuous_modifications. That fallback can emit one fused AddKeyword(Defender), reversing the permission and discarding the other conjuncts.

Fail closed when a gated compound contains a rejected defender-shaped segment. Keep the generic fallback only when the defender compound gate did not open.

Preserve Expedition Lookout's no-blocking restriction.

When defender_exception::split_defender_exception_predicate parses Expedition Lookout's text, _rest contains the adjacent "and it can't be blocked" clause. The arm discards _rest and emits only segment, so the resulting static ability loses that restriction. Parse the remainder into companion definitions, or decline the incomplete parse.

Fail closed when parsing the trailing "as long as" condition.

When parse_static_condition(cond_text) returns None, the fallback creates StaticCondition::Unrecognized. evaluate_condition_inner evaluates that variant as true, so the trailing gate imposes no restriction. Use unenforceable_gate_marker(cond_text) instead. Its Not(Unrecognized) shape evaluates to false while preserving coverage for the unsupported condition.

Parse and preserve the trailing as long as ... condition. The attached-subject defender-exception arm discards the recognizer remainder and returns before the trailing-condition parser runs. As a result, CanAttackWithDefender omits the printed condition. Parse the remainder and conjoin the resulting condition in this arm. This requires a separate edit from the Expedition Lookout companion-clause correction in evasion.rs.

Do not derive effect duration from a subject qualifier.

In this fixture, "this turn" modifies the selected creature: "Target creature that was dealt damage this turn". The permission segment is unrestricted and has no duration. Expect None, and derive Duration only when the parsed permission segment is DurationAdverbial.

Decline the duration form from the static parser.

parse_enchanted_equipped_predicate skips the defender-permission branch for DurationAdverbial, then falls through to the generic continuous parser. That fallback emits StaticMode::Continuous with AddKeyword(Defender), which is opposite to the printed permission.

This function returns Vec<StaticDefinition>, so decline with an empty result rather than None. The existing effect production, try_parse_can_attack_with_defender, already consumes the complete clause and emits CanAttackWithDefender with Duration::UntilEndOfTurn. Assert both that the static parser declines the fixture and that the effect parser produces those semantics.

Preserve the unconsumed defender-exception remainder.

Both productions accept a prefix, discard the returned remainder, and emit CanAttackWithDefender. This drops meaningful rules text:

  • The Expedition Lookout line loses its and it can't be blocked restriction.
  • The attached-subject line loses its as long as you control a Mountain condition.

Handle the remainder in each caller. Route the first form through the compound parser so it emits CanAttackWithDefender and CantBeBlocked. Attach the Mountain condition in the second form, or decline only through a path that preserves the complete predicate. Do not replace both callers blindly with an all-consuming parser: that policy can make the non-attached production lose Expedition Lookout's permission and can make the attached production fall through to the defender inverse.

Changes requested — two shared-parser paths still publish an overbroad defender exception.

🔴 Blocker

[HIGH] Subject-local damage history is converted into a permission duration. Evidence: crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/subject.rs:2297-2312 derives Duration::UntilEndOfTurn from lower.contains("this turn"), while the shared recognizer has already classified the defender-exception segment. Why it matters: in text such as Target creature that was dealt damage this turn can attack as though it didn't have defender, “this turn” qualifies the subject's damage history; it does not make the attack permission expire at end of turn. Suggested fix: derive the duration only from the recognized defender-exception duration segment, leaving subject-local predicates to parse_subject_application_for; add one regression for the unrestricted damage-history subject and one genuine permission-duration control.

[HIGH] The attached-subject grammar accepts and discards a supported trailing condition. Evidence: crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_static/grammar.rs:846-864 binds the recognizer remainder as _rest, then returns CanAttackWithDefender without parsing as long as you control a Mountain. Why it matters: an enchanted/equipped subject can receive an unconditional permission when the printed static condition is supported elsewhere in this parser. Suggested fix: parse the remainder with the existing attached-static condition machinery (or strict-fail if it cannot be represented), and conjoin it with any condition carried by the defender-exception segment; retain coverage for the existing Animate Wall control.

✅ Clean

The current head's parse-diff receipt is present and green. That receipt does not establish the two runtime condition/duration semantics above.

Recommendation: request changes for the two condition-preservation fixes and their discriminating regressions.

36729-36739: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Attached-subject production still emits the inverse permission for the duration form.

Production (b) now declines the duration-adverbial form (None). Production (a), the attached-subject production, still falls through to StaticMode::Continuous with AddKeyword(Defender) for the same duration-form line. This is the exact inverse of the printed permission ("can attack this turn as though it didn't have defender" grants a temporary exception, not a permanent Defender keyword).

Apply the same DurationAdverbial decline guard used in parse_can_attack_despite_defender to parse_enchanted_equipped_predicate, so the attached-subject production also declines the duration form instead of falling through to the generic continuous grant.

Corpus exposure is currently zero (no attached-subject card prints a duration-form line), but the representation stays wrong for any future card of this shape.

37168-37188: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Both defender-exception static productions consume only a prefix of the line and discard the returned remainder, so any trailing rules text after the recognized permission clause is silently dropped instead of composed into the emitted StaticDefinition. This is one root cause with one fix: route the remainder through a path that composes the full predicate (for example the compound parser, or attaching the trailing condition) instead of ignoring it.

  • crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_static/tests.rs#L37168-L37188: the non-attached production (parse_can_attack_despite_defender) drops Expedition Lookout's "and it can't be blocked" rider — a real corpus card whose legal-blocking behavior no longer matches its printed text.
  • crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_static/tests.rs#L37360-L37374: the attached-subject production (parse_enchanted_equipped_predicate) drops the trailing "as long as you control a Mountain" condition, granting the permission unconditionally instead of gating it — currently zero corpus exposure, but the same representational defect.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Novice Knight's fail-open bare Unrecognized condition persists despite being previously marked addressed.

This test asserts def.condition is Some(StaticCondition::Unrecognized { text: "this creature is enchanted or equipped" }) — a bare Unrecognized, not the fail-closed Not-wrapped marker. evaluate_condition reads a bare Unrecognized as true (per the doc comment, layers.rs:2120), so CanAttackWithDefender applies unconditionally even when the creature is neither enchanted nor equipped.

A previous review round on this PR raised exactly this concern and it was marked "Addressed" in that round, but the current (rebased) head's test proves the bare fail-open representation is still produced — the fix did not survive the rebase, or was reverted. Extend the shared parse_inner_condition grammar to return a typed condition for "enchanted or equipped," or fall back to static_helpers::unenforceable_gate_marker (fail-closed) instead of a bare Unrecognized.
Based on a previous review comment on this PR (concern: do not pin the fail-open condition for Novice Knight, previously marked addressed but reappears at the current head) and path instructions ("**": strict fidelity to MTG CR).

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Update the stale doc block: this match is now exhaustive.

The doc states the function is an opt-in allowlist "with a _ => None default, NOT an exhaustive match" and instructs a maintainer not to make it exhaustive. The body at Lines 12300-12363 is exhaustive and its inline comment requires exhaustiveness. The two statements contradict each other. A maintainer who follows the doc will reintroduce the wildcard that silently swallows a future anchored condition.

Keep the fail-closed intent, and describe the mechanism that the code actually uses.

Changes requested — the shared defender-exception refactor still loses condition/duration semantics on three current-head paths.

🔴 Blockers

[HIGH] A subject-local damage-history predicate is turned into a permission duration. Evidence: crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/subject.rs:2297-2312 derives UntilEndOfTurn from lower.contains("this turn") across the whole clause. The regression at crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/tests.rs:72049-72074 explicitly accepts Target creature that was dealt damage this turn can attack as though it didn't have defender. with UntilEndOfTurn, even though “this turn” qualifies the damage-history subject rather than the permission. Why it matters: the shared parser assigns a duration the text does not grant. Suggested fix: derive duration only from the recognized defender-exception segment and retain a subject-local history control plus a genuine permission-duration control.

[HIGH] The attached-subject branch silently discards a trailing as long as condition. Evidence: crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_static/grammar.rs:846-864 binds the recognized remainder as _rest and returns CanAttackWithDefender; crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_static/tests.rs:37360-37395 demonstrates that as long as you control a Mountain currently yields an unconditional definition. Why it matters: a supported printed restriction becomes an always-active permission. Suggested fix: parse and conjoin the remainder through the existing attached-static condition machinery, or strict-fail until it is representable.

[HIGH] The duration-form static path falls through to the inverse persistent Defender grant. Evidence: crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_static/grammar.rs:853-865 declines DurationAdverbial, then the generic continuous branch at :983-1044 accepts the line; crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_static/tests.rs:36721-36739 asserts that can attack this turn as though it didn't have defender becomes StaticMode::Continuous. Why it matters: the parser publishes the opposite, persistent characteristic instead of an honest unsupported result. Suggested fix: make the generic fallback preserve the defender-exception decline, with a regression that rejects the inverse grant.

🟡 Evidence pending

The only parse-diff receipt is attached to 03ef47f29bd717edb8b9fa972cc2b912542e038e, not current head 2cb2c7f2fc6c8a55c3fec1eb5778ea067f0cf920. Provide a current-head receipt before the next review.

✅ Clean

The current refactor does centralize the recognizer; the remaining defects are in its condition/duration consumers rather than a duplicated parser surface.

Recommendation: request changes — preserve the three semantics above, add discriminating regressions, and attach current-head parse evidence before re-review.

CR 514.2 governs damage removal and the end of "until end of turn" and
"this turn" effects (verified against docs/MagicCompRules.txt:2442). It
does not define an attack-history snapshot, and no rule does — the
cleanup-step rollover of `attacked_defenders_last_turn` is an engine
implementation choice. Citing 514.2 presented that timing as CR-mandated.

CR 508.6 remains, and is the correct authority: it defines "has attacked
[a player]". CR 109.5 remains for "you".

Three sites, all added by this branch: the condition doc on
`StaticCondition::AnyPlayerAttackedYouLastTurn`, the read/write profile
test doc, and an assertion message. A pre-existing fourth at
`ability_rw.rs:6895` carries the same error in base's text and is left
for a follow-up rather than widened into here.

CLAUDE.md requires exhaustive `match` without wildcard fallbacks when the
enum is known, so the compiler catches missing arms. This conversion hid
all 60 other `StaticCondition` variants behind `_ => None`: a future
anchored condition would silently inherit an inert `None` gate instead of
failing the build and forcing a handling decision.

Enumerates every remaining variant explicitly. The list is not hand-copied
— it is generated from the enum definition, and with the wildcard gone the
compiler itself proves it exact: a missing variant is a non-exhaustive
match error, an invented one an unknown-variant error. `cargo check` rc 0
is that proof.

Behaviour-identical by construction (every enumerated arm returns `None`,
as the wildcard did); lib count unmoved at 21838 passed, 0 failed.

…nt (phase-rs#8785)

Blocker 1 of the maintainer review on PR phase-rs#9201.

`try_parse_can_attack_with_defender` derived `Duration::UntilEndOfTurn` from
`lower.contains("this turn")` over the whole clause. That cannot distinguish
two different jobs the same two words do:

  * "can attack THIS TURN as though it didn't have defender" — the adverbial
    is the permission's duration;
  * "target creature that was dealt damage THIS TURN can attack as though it
    didn't have defender" — the adverbial qualifies the SUBJECT's damage
    history, selecting which creature is targeted. It says nothing about when
    the permission ends.

The second shape published a permission that silently expired at cleanup. The
duration is now a total function of the segment the shared recognizer already
classified, matched exhaustively per CLAUDE.md so a new terminal must force a
decision rather than inherit `None`.

Test renamed to what it now buys:
`defender_exception_duration_comes_from_the_segment_not_the_subject`. It is
two-sided — the duration-form fixture reds if the derivation narrows to
always-`None`, the subject-carried fixture reds if it widens back to the whole
clause — with a reach-guard proving the production saw the line and a
no-adverbial control. Both directions confirmed by mutation.

…se-rs#8785)

Blocker from the fourth maintainer review on PR phase-rs#9201. This is a defect I
introduced in `655b1eb30`, not a pre-existing one.

That commit applied `suffix_condition` to the defender permission and then
recursively parsed the companion from the body AFTER the trailing condition had
been split off — so the companion never saw the gate. "Enchanted creature can
attack as though it didn't have defender AND HAS FLYING as long as you control a
Mountain" gated the attack permission and granted flying UNCONDITIONALLY. A
fail-open.

Every composed conjunct now carries the gate: `combine_conditions` so a
companion with its own inner condition conjoins rather than being overwritten,
and `attach_gated_condition` so a gate unrepresentable on the companion's mode
fails CLOSED exactly as it does on the permission. This is the same rule the
non-attached composer in `evasion.rs` already applied to both halves — the
invariant existed one commit earlier and did not get carried across.

The test is why this survived review. Its four fixtures never varied the gate,
so a correct parse and a defective one were indistinguishable: "both halves
survive" passed while the gate silently did not. A fifth fixture now asserts, by
exact value, that BOTH definitions carry the Mountain condition.

Mutation-proven: reverting to `composed.extend(companions)` reds the new fixture
with `left: None` against the expected `IsPresent{Mountain}` — the unconditioned
flying grant, verbatim.

Fixed in fd02dc6ca. You were right, and this one was mine — a fail-open I introduced
in 655b1eb30, not a pre-existing defect.

The bug

655b1eb30 applied suffix_condition to the permission, then recursively parsed the
companion from the body AFTER the trailing condition had been split off. The companion
therefore never saw the gate, and

Enchanted creature can attack as though it didn't have defender and has flying as long
as you control a Mountain

gated the attack permission while granting flying unconditionally.

Every composed conjunct now carries the gate — combine_conditions so a companion with
its own inner condition conjoins rather than being overwritten, and
attach_gated_condition so a gate unrepresentable on the companion's mode fails CLOSED
exactly as it does on the permission.

Worth naming: this is the same rule the non-attached composer in evasion.rs already
applied to both halves one commit earlier. The invariant existed; I ported the structure
and dropped it.

Why the test missed it

Its four fixtures never varied the gate, so a correct parse and a defective one were
indistinguishable — "both halves survive" passed while the gate silently did not. That
is the same vacuity I have been flagging in this file's older tests, in a test I wrote
myself.

A fifth fixture now asserts by exact value that BOTH definitions carry the Mountain
condition. Mutation-proven: reverting to composed.extend(companions) reds it with

the printed gate governs Continuous too — an unconditioned companion grants flying with no Mountain
  left:  None
  right: Some(IsPresent { Mountain, controller: You, InZone: Battlefield })

left: None is the unconditioned flying grant, verbatim.

Parse impact at this head — 6 cards, unchanged

Base-vs-head regeneration at merge-base 8843c6825, pinned MTGJSON vintage, gated on
both sides (base verified to lack the gate-propagation loop, candidate verified to have
it). 35943 keys each, 0 added, 0 removed, coverage identical (32310/35145, 2835
unimplemented).

expedition lookout · ichor aberration · karsus depthguard
novice knight · surveillance phantasm · weathered sentinels

So the fail-open had zero corpus exposure: no card prints a gated attached-subject
conjunction today, and it would have mis-granted only on a future card of that shape.
That is why the shipped artifact did not move — not because the bug was harmless.

CI will publish the current-head receipt for fd02dc6ca on this push; the local figure
above is what it should reconcile with.

Maintainer hold for current head fd02dc6ca7751c90b07f8c8948983d59751fe591.

The previous requested fix for the attached-subject conjunction is present: the trailing Mountain condition is applied to both the defender exception and the flying grant. The new exact-value parser test exercises both definitions. I have no new code change request from that review.

Current-head verification remains incomplete. The card-data CI job failed on the swallowed-clause diagnostic (859 → 860, allowance +0), while reporting zero engine and zero coverage-honesty regressions. Its parse-diff sticky still names older head 4a2e0cc6957503a981adf3715fdf85261870fdef, and the four Rust test shards were still running at this check. This diagnostic also appears on other PRs after main moved; I am treating its ownership as a maintainer-side investigation, not assigning it to this contributor without attribution.

Next: reconcile that diagnostic against current main, obtain a parse-diff receipt for this exact head and terminal CI, then complete the approval decision. I am leaving the PR out of the merge queue meanwhile.

Held on current-head card-data evidence — head fd02dc6ca7751c90b07f8c8948983d59751fe591.

The new attached-subject conjunct path carries the printed Mountain gate onto both the defender exception and its flying companion (crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_static/grammar.rs:976-1007), and the added assertion checks both definitions (tests.rs:37370-37406). That addresses the behavior in my prior changes-requested review on 655b1eb30c9b4ba27fc7312b1a3f084024cbf1fb.

The current-head Card data job failed at the coverage diagnostic ratchet: swallowed-clause rose from 859 to 860, with zero engine_regress cards. The job skipped its parse-detail diff and upload steps, so the only parse-diff receipt is still for 4a2e0cc6957503a981adf3715fdf85261870fdef. It cannot establish the card-level impact of this head. The CI log also reports changed upstream Oracle text for Generator Servant and Garbage Elemental; the cause of the extra diagnostic has not yet been isolated, so I am not assigning it to this PR.

Next step: maintainer triage of that diagnostic against the latest main/MTGJSON baseline, then rerun card-data and compare a receipt bound to this head before approval or enqueue. This is an evidence hold, not a request for another implementation change from the contributor. The PR remains unapproved and outside the queue.

The evidence hold's condition is met — posting the facts rather than asking you to
re-derive them.

A current-head receipt now exists. Card data re-ran and passed (5m29s,
job 107243914289),
publishing a receipt bound to fd02dc6ca7751c90b07f8c8948983d59751fe591 against baseline
8f2ff2985909: 6 cards, 4 signatures — Weathered Sentinels (+CanAttackWithDefender,
grant Defender), Expedition Lookout (+CantBeBlocked, gated), and the four
unrecognized → not (unrecognized) cards.

That reconciles exactly with the local base-vs-head regeneration at merge-base
8843c6825 under a pinned MTGJSON vintage: same six cards, 35943 keys each, 0 added,
0 removed, coverage identical at 32310/35145. Two instruments, different baselines,
same answer.

On the swallowed-clause 859 → 860 blip: the new receipt carries a line the failed
run could not reach —

11 card(s) had Oracle-text changes (errata/reprint) — excluded as non-parser.

— which is consistent with your note about Generator Servant and Garbage Elemental, and
with the ratchet passing on re-run against a refreshed baseline. It looks like upstream
data drift rather than this branch. I am not claiming that as established: I have not
isolated it, and my local measurements pinned MTGJSON to week 2026-W38, so they could
not have surfaced an upstream-driven diagnostic either way.

If it would help, I can regenerate the coverage diagnostics at base and head under one
pinned vintage and post the swallowed-clause delta. That is a base-vs-head control
which should read zero if the cause is upstream — happy to run it, but it is your call
whether it is worth the cycles given the ratchet now passes.

CI at this head: 17 pass, 2 skipped, 0 fail, CLEAN/MERGEABLE.

Approved on fd02dc6ca7751c90b07f8c8948983d59751fe591 — the defender exception and its sibling grammar now preserve their full rules-bearing clauses.

✅ Clean

The current-head parse-diff receipt measures six cards and four signatures: Weathered Sentinels gains its scoped defender exception and loses the inverted Defender grant; Expedition Lookout gains its gated CantBeBlocked companion; Ichor Aberration, Karsus Depthguard, Novice Knight, and Surveillance Phantasm now carry inert Not(Unrecognized) gates instead of unconditional permissions. The production-path tests cover the attack scope, compound evasion, fail-closed gates, and the attached-subject Mountain condition. The author reconciled the six-card result; the earlier one-card count in the PR body is stale.

The previous requested change at crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_static/grammar.rs:976-1007 is resolved: both conjuncts retain the Mountain gate. Current-head Card data, Rust test shards, and required aggregate checks pass.

Recommendation: enqueue this exact head. The manual quality label is not applied because the PR body's parse-impact claim remains one card while the current receipt measures six.

Thanks — and the stale claim is corrected: the PR body's Claimed parse impact section
now reads six cards with the per-card table, replacing "Weathered Sentinels — and only
that card."

It was accurate when written and went stale twice: the fail-closed gate fix moved four
more cards, and the companion composer moved Expedition Lookout. Both corrections are
noted inline in the section rather than silently swapped, along with the one local run
that reported 59 cards — an artifact of comparing against origin/main instead of the
branch's merge-base, which the base-side gate now makes impossible to repeat quietly.

The section cites both instruments: the local regeneration at merge-base 8843c6825
under a pinned vintage, and CI's receipt for fd02dc6ca against baseline 8f2ff2985909.

That was the only thing you named as holding the manual quality label. Head is unchanged
at fd02dc6ca7751c90b07f8c8948983d59751fe591 — body-only edit, no new commit.

* feat(engine): scope the "attacked you last turn" condition to the attacked player

Phase 1 of 3 (chartered) for issue phase-rs#8785. Infrastructure only: this phase makes
the defending-player-anchored reading EXPRESSIBLE and unit-provable. Nothing
emits it, nothing consumes it, and no card's parse or attack eligibility moves.

StaticCondition::AnyPlayerAttackedYouLastTurn gains a scope axis:

    AttackedYouScope { #[default] AnyPlayer, AttackedPlayer }

AnyPlayer is the pre-parameterization reading (CR 508.6 existential over
players — Avenge's cost reduction) and is the serde default, so every legacy
`{"type":"AnyPlayerAttackedYouLastTurn"}` row loads and re-serializes
byte-identically. AttackedPlayer binds the subject to the player the creature is
proposed to attack (CR 508.1b/c) or, once declared, the player recorded for it
(CR 508.1k), falling back to false when no anchor is bindable.

The anchored reading is KIND-PRESERVING per CR 506.3: only a player, a
planeswalker, or a battle can be attacked, and only the first IS a player — so
an attack on a planeswalker or battle has no attacked player and the condition
is false for it. It deliberately does NOT take CR 508.5's collapse to the
planeswalker's controller or the battle's protector; CR 508.5 is the contrast,
not the warrant. Two new kind-preserving accessors sit beside their
kind-collapsing siblings in combat.rs so the two readings of the same data
cannot drift apart unnoticed.

StaticCondition::needs_defending_player_anchor becomes a FIELD INSPECTION rather
than a variant-identity test: it now reports "cannot be answered at creature
level", which covers DefendingPlayerControls (needs the CR 508.5 defending
player) and the anchored scope (needs the attack target AS A PLAYER) without
conflating them. The existential scope deliberately does not report, or Avenge
would start deferring. Both consumers are hard-gated on CantAttack /
CantAttackOrBlock, so the widening changes nobody's offering at this phase.

Coverage labelling for the anchored scope is FINAL here, not in a later phase:
no card emits the scope yet, so a corpus-level "coverage unchanged" assertion is
vacuous for it and only a synthesized-condition unit assertion can pin it.

Tests (8 new): the anchored scope discriminates from the existential one on a
board where they disagree; it resolves from the bound anchor, falls back to the
latched AttackerInfo keyed on object_id, honours the CR 611.3a recipient over
the source, and answers false with neither; it is kind-preserving on both the
bound and latched paths, each hostile arm carrying a live-instrument check that
the kind-collapsing counterfactual would answer true; the controller
self-exclusion holds; the legacy tag round-trips byte-identically; the coverage
description and verdict are pinned; and the read profile merges the latched
combat read on the anchored arm only.

Deferred by charter: parser emission of the anchored scope -> Phase 3;
consumption by a permission-mode static and any change to who is offered as an
attacker -> Phase 2.

* test(engine): pin that a bound attack anchor outranks the latched one

Implementation-review fix round on the Phase 1 candidate. Test-only; no
production code changes.

The anchored revenge scope resolves its attack anchor as

    match context.declared_attack {
        Some(target) => attacked_player_for_target(target),
        None         => attacked_player_for_attacker(state, attacking),
    }

and the arm's own comment claims CR 508.1c makes a bound `declared_attack`
AUTHORITATIVE — it does not fall through to the latched `AttackerInfo`. That
behaviour was correct but unbought: every existing arm leaves at most one anchor
bindable (rows 1, 1c and 2 never populate `state.combat`; row 1b's arms all pass
`declared_attack = None`), so arm (a) proves only the weaker "a bound anchor does
not NEED the latch". A latch-first implementation passed all four tests.

Arms (g) and (h) bind BOTH anchors at once on the fixture row 1b already has, so
the ordering is what decides the answer:

  (g) latch says P2 (never attacked you), declaration says P1 (did)  => true
  (h) latch says P1 (did),                declaration says P2 (not)  => false

Both directions are needed: either alone leaves one direction of the inversion
alive. Verified by mutation — with the latch-first form applied, (g) fails; with
(g)'s assert then removed so execution reaches it, (h) fails on its own, which
also rules out (h) passing as an unreached path. layers.rs restored
byte-identical afterwards.

Why this is worth a round rather than a note: Phase 2's CR 702.3b arm lands
inside `attacker_can_attack_target`, the one caller that binds an attack target,
so the consumer Phase 2 adds is precisely the one that can reach this path with a
populated `state.combat` — second combat phase, CR 508.7 reselection, mid-combat
re-validation — where a latch-first reading answers from a stale pairing.

* test(engine): pin that a bound non-player anchor does not fall through to the latch

Implementation-review fix round 2 on the Phase 1 candidate. Test-only; no
production code changes.

`attacked_player_scope_is_kind_preserving_on_the_bound_anchor` never assigns
`state.combat` on either of its boards, so every `false` it asserts is equally
explained by an EMPTY latch — it cannot tell kind-preservation apart from a
fallback that is merely dead. Arms (g)/(h) bind both anchors but only with player
targets, so they buy "a bound player outranks a latched player", not the sentence
the evaluator's own comment singles out: a bound planeswalker or battle target
yields no attacked player and THAT is the CR 508.1c answer.

Demonstrated: a bound-first-WITH-FALLTHROUGH form

    declared_attack.and_then(attacked_player_for_target)
        .or_else(|| attacked_player_for_attacker(state, attacking))

compiles and passes all 21389 lib tests, arms (g) and (h) included.

Arm (i) supplies the discrimination on the fixture row 1b already has: the latch
is LIVE and says P1 (who did attack you), the bound anchor is a planeswalker
controlled by P1. CR 506.3 — a planeswalker is not a player — so there is no
attacked player and the answer is false OUTRIGHT, without consulting the latch.
The mutant falls through, reads P1, and answers true. Verified: with the mutant
applied the new arm fails and the kind-preserving sibling still passes, which is
itself the evidence that sibling's falses were vacuous for this property.

Why it is worth a round: Phase 2's CR 702.3b arm binds a target for EVERY
candidate pairing, planeswalkers and battles included, and in a second combat
phase `state.combat` can still hold this creature's record. Under the surviving
mutant a creature latched as attacking a qualifying player would be permitted to
attack a planeswalker it was never granted permission against — silently wrong
for exactly the card class this charter exists to enable.

Corrects the previous commit's rationale: it cited "CR 508.7 reselection" as a
reachability scenario, but CR 508.7b says a reselecting creature "isn't affected
by requirements or restrictions that apply to the declaration of attackers", so
reselection is precisely where this restriction does not run. The second-combat-
phase and mid-combat-re-validation halves of that argument stand on their own.

* test(engine): pin the defender argument of the revenge query, and the declaration's precedence over a bound recipient

Implementation-review fix round 3 on the Phase 1 candidate. Two test-only
findings plus one one-line production change.

1. THE DEFENDER ARGUMENT WAS UNBOUGHT (the load-bearing one).

   `state.player_attacked_player_last_turn(attacked, controller)` could be
   replaced by `state.attacked_defenders_last_turn.contains_key(&attacked)` —
   "did that player attack ANYBODY last turn", dropping the "attacked YOU" half
   of CR 508.6 — and the entire suite stayed green. Weathered Sentinels' printed
   restriction is "players who attacked YOU"; under that mutant the creature
   would be granted an attack against any player who merely attacked a THIRD
   player.

   The cause was a fixture property, not a reasoning error: every anchored board
   seeded the ledger with `you` as the only defender, so every false cell was
   explained by an ABSENT ROW rather than a WRONG DEFENDER. The existential
   sibling already buys this half of CR 508.6 with a two-row ledger ("opponents
   attacked each other but not you"); the anchored scope had no counterpart.

   Row 1's board now carries a second row — P2 attacked P1, not you — so its
   existing P2 cell is false because the defender is wrong. Both default-scope
   cells on that board remain true, so row 1's original discrimination claim is
   preserved.

2. NO FIXTURE BOUND `recipient` AND `declared_attack` AT ONCE.

   A form preferring the recipient's latch over a bound declaration agreed with
   production on all 17 asserted boards. Benign today — production branches on
   neither combination — but Phase 2's `attacker_can_attack_target` is precisely
   the consumer that binds both. New arm (f2) binds them in disagreement and
   asserts the declaration wins (CR 508.1c).

3. `fmt_static_condition`'s anchored arm was a wildcard.

   `{ .. }` would absorb a future third `AttackedYouScope` into the "attacked
   player" description with no compile error, while layers.rs and ability_rw.rs
   both spell out two explicit scope arms and this phase's own
   `attacked_player_for_target` doc argues that omitting a wildcard makes a
   future variant a compile error. Now matched explicitly.

Both mutants verified dead, with their failing assertion text recorded; layers.rs
byte-identical to the prior candidate afterwards.

This is the fifth undiscriminated property found in this ~10-line evaluator arm,
each by a different reviewer, each proved by mutation, and in every case the
production code was already correct — what was missing was the evidence. The
round that found this one attacked 27 specific mutants and killed 22.

* feat(engine): polarity-typed anchor deferral and one defender-permission authority

Phase 2 of 3 (chartered) for issue phase-rs#8785. Phase 1 made the defending-player-
anchored revenge condition expressible; this phase gives it its first consumer.

Three changes, one mechanic:

1. POLARITY. `StaticMode::defending_player_anchor_polarity()` classifies a mode
   as Prohibition or Permission, and `unanchored_defending_player_deferral` is
   the single rule consuming it. The two hard-coded
   `matches!(mode, CantAttack | CantAttackOrBlock)` guards are gone. A
   creature-level query carries no attack target, so a condition gated on the
   defending player cannot be answered there: a prohibition defers to "not
   restricting", a permission to "granting", and the per-pairing authority —
   which does carry a target — decides. The classification is exhaustive and
   wildcard-free, so a new mode is a compile error rather than a silent default.

2. ONE AUTHORITY AT BOTH ENTRY POINTS. A defender permission reaches
   `team_eligible_attacker_ids` through two independent condition-evaluation
   paths combined by `||` — the own-object read and the whole-battlefield read.
   Neither is restricted by carrier locality: an intrinsic SelfRef permission is
   reachable through both. Fixing only one leaves the two disagreeing about a
   single static, which is the split authority the CR 508.1d work forbids. Both
   now route through the same deferral, and the four hand-copied
   `CanAttackWithDefender` lookups collapse into
   `creature_can_attack_despite_defender`, parameterized by
   `Option<AttackTarget>`: the four creature-level sites pass None, and the only
   caller passing Some is the CR 702.3b arm inside `attacker_can_attack_target`.

3. THE CR 702.3b ARM. Defender permission is now decided per pairing, so a
   permission scoped to specific defending players scopes the creature's legal
   targets instead of applying to all of them or none.

PERFORMANCE. The naive per-pairing implementation calls check_static_ability
once per (candidate, target) and scales with the defender universe. The carrier
sweep is instead resolved once per gates value behind a `OnceCell`, filled lazily
on first remote-arm consultation — measured: an eager fill converts 0 whole-
battlefield sweeps into K-linear ones on a board carrying a permission but no
Defender creature, because `compute` runs K+2 times per published payload and
once per candidate in the AI's mandatory filter. The accessor carries no presence
gate of its own: it would duplicate the one inside the sweep over the same
immutable state, making that gate unreachable and undiscriminable. Deleting it
made `has_can_attack_with_defender` unread, and `dead_code` under `-D warnings`
forces the field's removal too.

Tests (22): both entry points agree about one static, measured arm-individually;
the four lookups are behaviourally interchangeable including the CR gates a
combat-local helper could drop (phasing, zone of function, the self-referential
stack exception); polarity is correct and fails closed for an unclassified mode;
scans do not scale with the defender universe, the candidate count, or vanilla
creature count, each with a live non-zero control; a narrow affected filter
excludes a Defender the carrier does not name; and the prohibition-polarity
display gap is held unchanged.

* parser: route the defender exception through one shared combinator (phase-rs#8785)

Weathered Sentinels' second line — "Creatures with defender can attack as
though they didn't have defender" — parsed to the INVERSE of what it says.
Three productions each recognised the defender-exception phrase with their
own ad-hoc spelling, and the one that claimed this line fused the permission
into an `AddKeyword(Defender)`, granting defender instead of excepting it.

This phase adds `parser/oracle_nom/defender_exception.rs`: one combinator that
recognises the phrase, classifies its subject into five typed terminals, and
returns the permission's condition. It is wired into FIVE grammar sites — the
charter's three productions plus both conjunctive grammars, which the phase
measured to be reachable and which an earlier design had missed.

Two policies differ per production and are preserved rather than unified: the
prefix-vs-all-consuming choice (a uniform all-consuming predicate would reject
a real corpus tail), and (c)'s duration, which comes from the whole clause and
not the segment. The all-consuming policy is written ONCE, in
`all_consuming_defender_tail`, and applied at three call sites.

Corpus containment, measured by regenerating the card artifact from both trees
into fresh directories: 35,943 keys on each side, and exactly ONE key moves —
`weathered sentinels`, which gains a `CanAttackWithDefender` static carrying
`AnyPlayerAttackedYouLastTurn{scope: AttackedPlayer}` and loses the inverted
`AddKeyword(Defender)`. Its keywords, triggers and oracle_text are unchanged.

Phase 2's canary `weathered_sentinels_second_line_still_parses_to_its_base_
shape` asserted that both `parse_static_line` and `parse_static_line_multi`
decline this line. Both flip here, so the canary is rewritten in place as row
1 — its existing positive control kept verbatim — rather than deleted.

Tests: 21410 -> 21435 unfiltered `--lib` (+25), 0 failed, 8 ignored, 0
filtered out. Integration 7057 passed. `cargo fmt --check`, `clippy
--all-targets`, `clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`, `check -p phase-engine`
and `check -p phase-ai` all rc=0.

Known environment limitation, verified independent of this diff: the
`probe-pin::pure_logic::proj_missing` test fails on this CIFS mount with
`Permission denied` because the mount forces `file_mode=0644` and the test
executes a fixture shell script. `probe-pin` declares no dependency on
`phase-engine` and no probe-pin file is touched here.

Phase 3 of 3. Plan frozen after six review rounds; nineteen mis-declared
discrimination claims were found across the run, every one by executing a
mutation rather than by reading, and in every case the production code was
already correct while the claim about the test was wrong.

* parser: reword a comment so the combinator gate stops matching it (phase-rs#8785)

`scripts/check-parser-combinators.sh` scans added lines for string-method
dispatch and does NOT strip comments. A doc comment added in 7dce322
quoted the base call it replaces — `tp.find(" can attack")` — and the literal
`.find("` inside that prose tripped the gate, which `.github/workflows/ci.yml`
runs as a hard step with no `|| true`. CI would have gone red on a phase whose
substantive nom compliance is fine.

Reworded to name the same base call without the literal: "base's `TextPair`
lookup of `\" can attack\"`". The `// allow-noncombinator:` escape hatch would
also have silenced it, but that annotation is documented for genuine
structural uses of a string method in CODE; spending it on a prose comment
would dilute what it means where it is actually needed.

Comment-only: `git diff -U0` shows no changed line that is not a `//` comment.
`bash ./scripts/check-parser-combinators.sh origin/main` now exits 0
(Gate A PASS, Gate G PASS); `cargo fmt --all -- --check` exits 0.

Fixes the one blocking finding of Phase 3's implementation review, which
otherwise reported every charter acceptance row met and — across 11 applied
mutations — not one mis-declared discrimination claim in this phase.

* docs: replace internal planning coordinates in comments with test names (phase-rs#8785)

The three phases of this change left references to a planning process in
shipped comments — "DISCRIMINATION 1.9", "Row 8 arm 13", "M-23", "MODE 5",
"PHASE_BASE_SHA", "C3.9". Those documents are not in the repository, so none
of it resolves to anything a reader can follow, and a maintainer cannot tell
whether such a comment is load-bearing.

Each comment kept its substance and gained a coordinate that does resolve: the
behaviour that breaks if the line changes, and the NAME of the test that
catches it. For example, the all-consuming check in
defender_exception_predicate_all_consuming went from

    all_consuming_defender_tail(rest)?; // 8a.2 — sibling of 1.24 / 8b.2

to a comment saying that dropping it opens the continuous compound's
per-segment gate for a segment with trailing text, naming the test that
guards it. All 26 test identifiers written into comments were verified to
exist; none dangle.

Also here:
  - Two doc headers in oracle_static/evasion.rs described code this change had
    already deleted — a scan_split_at_phrase call that is now a
    defender_exception delegate, and a grammar signature predating the
    interposed segment, which said the companion's condition is cloned when
    the two gates are now conjoined via combine_conditions. Both were
    misleading rather than merely stale.
  - WEATHERED_SENTINELS_ORACLE, weathered_sentinels_keyword_names and
    weathered_sentinels_statics lose a phase-number prefix, matching the
    semantic dp_ prefix the neighbouring fixtures in the same mod tests use.
  - DefenderExceptionSegment::UnanchorableClass and ::UnrecognizedClass are
    distinct variants that permission_condition maps to the same marker. The
    doc now says why that is deliberate — it is what proves the classifier
    delegates recognition instead of carrying a local table — so it does not
    read as an unfinished branch.

No behaviour change, established two independent ways: `git diff -U0` filtered
to non-comment lines yields only the three renames and their references, and
comment-stripping all twelve touched files (string-aware) then applying the
renames leaves every file byte-identical.

* test: buy the whole-clause duration derivation, which nothing guarded (phase-rs#8785)

The effect production derives a `this turn` duration from the WHOLE CLAUSE, not
from the interposed segment. A comment claimed
`defender_exception_duration_form_keeps_its_until_end_of_turn_on_the_effect_production`
guarded that choice. It did not, and nothing else did either.

That test's fixtures both put `this turn` INSIDE the interposed segment, where
clause-derived and segment-derived duration land on the same answer. Measured:
replacing the derivation with `matches!(segment, DurationAdverbial)` — a real
semantic narrowing — left the whole unfiltered suite green at 21435 passed, 0
failed.

Adds the discriminating fixture: `"Target creature that was dealt damage this
turn can attack as though it didn't have defender."`, composed from Crushing
Pain's printed subject and the CR 702.3b tail. The adverbial sits in the
SUBJECT and the segment is empty, so the classifier answers `Unrestricted` and
a segment-derived duration would be `None`. It asserts `condition == None` and
`duration == Some(UntilEndOfTurn)`, paired on the same production with a
control that has no adverbial anywhere and must yield `duration == None`, so
the positive measures the subject-carried adverbial rather than a production
that always answers `UntilEndOfTurn`. Under the same mutation the test now
fails; restored byte-for-byte, the suite is green again.

Two comment claims were false and are corrected rather than repeated:

  - The paragraph said narrowing the derivation "would move those three lines'
    durations (measured: three corpus cards)". Those three `"As long as … this
    turn,"` lines — Piston-Fist Cyclops, Mechan Shieldmate, Shipwreck Sentry —
    land on the PRINTED-STATIC production, not this one, and narrowing this
    derivation would not move them. A census of all 55 corpus lines carrying
    the CR 702.3b tail finds no line reaching this production with `this turn`
    outside its segment, so the added fixture is synthesized, and says so.

  - `defender_exception.rs` said the three all-consuming call sites have
    separate tests "because a mutation at one call site leaves the other two
    green". True in one of three directions only: dropping the loop's line reds
    only the loop's test, dropping the entry point's reds two, and dropping
    production (c)'s reds all three. Reworded to the operative fact — each call
    site has a test that reds under its own mutation, but a red does not by
    itself name the site that broke.

Measured at this tree: check-parser-combinators.sh rc 0 (Gate A and Gate G
PASS), check-prelowered-ratchet.sh rc 0 (Gate P PASS), cargo fmt --check rc 0,
cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings rc 0, unfiltered
cargo test -p phase-engine --lib 21435 passed / 0 failed / 8 ignored /
0 filtered out (unchanged: the fixture joins an existing test function).

* docs: correct two measured claims in the duration-derivation test (phase-rs#8785)

Both found by the final review of 4cc7ed3, in text that commit itself added.

The census denominator said 55 corpus lines print the CR 702.3b tail. It is 56,
which is what three other places in this branch already say. Re-derived here
over the base card artifact three ways — substring, a `didn't|didn’t`
apostrophe-tolerant regex, and a loose two-token match — all giving 56 lines
across 56 cards. A census is a completeness claim, and a reader re-deriving a
different denominator cannot tell which line was excluded or whether the
conclusion still covers it.

The comment explaining why neither pre-existing fixture can red under the
segment-narrowing mutation said "in both of them the adverbial IS the segment".
True of the duration-form fixture only. The other is the reach-guard, whose
segment is an AnchoredClass and whose clause carries no `this turn` at all
("last turn" is not "this turn"), so it has no duration either way and asserts
none. The conclusion held; the reason did not. The parallel sentence in
subject.rs already got this right by naming only the duration-form fixture.

* docs: make the tail census enumerate all 56 lines it claims to cover (phase-rs#8785)

The arm-13 doc said its corpus exposure was measured zero over "all 56 corpus
defender-exception lines", then enumerated buckets summing to 53. Two tail
forms were missing entirely — Dark Maze's ". Exile it at the beginning of the
next end step." and Guardians of Oboro's ". (Equipment, Auras you control, and
counters are modifications.)" reminder — and the ". Activate only ..." bucket
said two where there are three (Mobile Fort, Walking Wall, Glade Watcher).

Re-derived over the base card artifact: 44 tails of ".", three
". Activate only ...", three " as long as <cond>." riders, two "." inside
quoted granted text, one " and it can't be blocked.", one ", and assigns
combat damage ...", one ". Exile it ..." and one "(Equipment ...)" reminder.
44+3+3+2+1+1+1+1 = 56, and the enumeration now sums to its own denominator.

The conclusion the census supports was already true and is unchanged: none of
the 56 is a trailing-text tail inside a comma compound, so no printed card can
buy this line and the synthesized fixture is the only instrument.

This is the fourth overstated completeness claim this change has had to
correct, and the third found by measurement rather than reading. A comment
that presents itself as an exhaustive census is a claim like any other; the
figure is only worth what the command behind it can find.

* docs: drop the CR 514.2 citation from the revenge gate (phase-rs#8785)

CR 514.2 governs damage removal and the end of "until end of turn" and
"this turn" effects (verified against docs/MagicCompRules.txt:2442). It
does not define an attack-history snapshot, and no rule does — the
cleanup-step rollover of `attacked_defenders_last_turn` is an engine
implementation choice. Citing 514.2 presented that timing as CR-mandated.

CR 508.6 remains, and is the correct authority: it defines "has attacked
[a player]". CR 109.5 remains for "you".

Three sites, all added by this branch: the condition doc on
`StaticCondition::AnyPlayerAttackedYouLastTurn`, the read/write profile
test doc, and an assertion message. A pre-existing fourth at
`ability_rw.rs:6895` carries the same error in base's text and is left
for a follow-up rather than widened into here.

* refactor(types): make defending_player_anchored_form exhaustive (phase-rs#8785)

CLAUDE.md requires exhaustive `match` without wildcard fallbacks when the
enum is known, so the compiler catches missing arms. This conversion hid
all 60 other `StaticCondition` variants behind `_ => None`: a future
anchored condition would silently inherit an inert `None` gate instead of
failing the build and forcing a handling decision.

Enumerates every remaining variant explicitly. The list is not hand-copied
— it is generated from the enum definition, and with the wildcard gone the
compiler itself proves it exact: a missing variant is a non-exhaustive
match error, an invented one an unknown-variant error. `cargo check` rc 0
is that proof.

Behaviour-identical by construction (every enumerated arm returns `None`,
as the wildcard did); lib count unmoved at 21838 passed, 0 failed.

* fix(parser): derive the defender permission's duration from its segment (phase-rs#8785)

Blocker 1 of the maintainer review on PR phase-rs#9201.

`try_parse_can_attack_with_defender` derived `Duration::UntilEndOfTurn` from
`lower.contains("this turn")` over the whole clause. That cannot distinguish
two different jobs the same two words do:

  * "can attack THIS TURN as though it didn't have defender" — the adverbial
    is the permission's duration;
  * "target creature that was dealt damage THIS TURN can attack as though it
    didn't have defender" — the adverbial qualifies the SUBJECT's damage
    history, selecting which creature is targeted. It says nothing about when
    the permission ends.

The second shape published a permission that silently expired at cleanup. The
duration is now a total function of the segment the shared recognizer already
classified, matched exhaustively per CLAUDE.md so a new terminal must force a
decision rather than inherit `None`.

Test renamed to what it now buys:
`defender_exception_duration_comes_from_the_segment_not_the_subject`. It is
two-sided — the duration-form fixture reds if the derivation narrows to
always-`None`, the subject-carried fixture reds if it widens back to the whole
clause — with a reach-guard proving the production saw the line and a
no-adverbial control. Both directions confirmed by mutation.

* fix(parser): keep the attached-subject defender exception's trailing gate (phase-rs#8785)

Blocker 2 of the maintainer review on PR phase-rs#9201.

The attached-subject production matched a PREFIX of the unsplit predicate and
bound the recognizer remainder as `_rest`, then returned
`CanAttackWithDefender` without parsing it. "Enchanted creature can attack as
though it didn't have defender as long as you control a Mountain" therefore
published an UNCONDITIONAL permission, discarding a gate this parser can
represent — the enchanted subject could attack with no regard for it.

Rather than add a second condition parser, the arm now sits BELOW the existing
trailing-condition split, so the rider is peeled by the same machinery the
sibling evasion arms use and conjoined through `combine_conditions` — the one
CR 508.1c conjoin authority, widened to `pub(super)` for this call site instead
of growing a second spelling. The recognizer stays a PREFIX match; what changed
is what it is offered (the split body, not the whole predicate).

When a printed rider participates the result routes through
`attach_gated_condition`, so a gate that cannot be represented on
`CanAttackWithDefender` fails CLOSED. The no-rider path sets the condition
directly, unchanged from base: routing it through the remedy would re-wrap an
already-inert terminal with an empty gap text and lose the clause it names.

`attached_subject_production_still_fires_with_a_trailing_rider` used this exact
fixture but asserted only that the production FIRES — which both the correct
and the defective parse do, which is why it stayed green. It now asserts the
Mountain gate on both entry points, with Animate Wall (the one corpus card on
this arm, no rider) as the paired control asserting `condition: None`.
Confirmed by mutation: dropping the rider reds it (`left: None`), and attaching
a condition unconditionally reds it too (`left: Some(SourceIsTapped)`).

* docs(types): cite CR 508.1b for target selection, not CR 508.1c (phase-rs#8785)

[MED] from the maintainer review on PR phase-rs#9201.

Verified against docs/MagicCompRules.txt: CR 508.1b (:2268) is the
announcement step — "the active player announces which player, planeswalker,
or battle each of the chosen creatures is attacking". CR 508.1c (:2270) is a
different step: it checks the declaration against restrictions.

Two doc sites on `AttackedYouScope::AttackedPlayer` attached `(CR 508.1c)` to
the PROPOSED/DECLARED target, which is 508.1b's job. Both now cite 508.1b and
say explicitly why 508.1c is not the rule for target selection.

The other three 508.1c citations this branch added were checked and are
correct — `:12269` already reads "CR 508.1b ... announces which player each
chosen creature is attacking ... CR 508.1c then checks restrictions against
that pairing". The two corrected sites now agree with it.

* fix(parser): decline the attached-subject duration form, don't invert it (phase-rs#8785)

[HIGH] from the maintainer review on PR phase-rs#9201.

`parse_enchanted_equipped_predicate` skipped the defender branch for a
`DurationAdverbial` segment and then FELL THROUGH to the generic continuous
parser, which read the tail as a grant and emitted `AddKeyword(Defender)` —
the exact inverse of "can attack this turn as though it didn't have
defender", and the phase-rs#8785 defect shape surviving on a sibling grammar.

The arm now returns an empty `Vec` before the generic path. Empty means "not
parsed here": callers fall back to `parse_static_line` (production (b)), which
declines this form too, so the line ends up unparsed and visible as a coverage
gap rather than silently reversed. The two static productions now agree.

Corpus movement is zero — no card prints a duration-form defender exception as
a static line — but the representation was wrong for the next card in the
class, which is the maintainer's point.

`defender_exception_duration_form_is_declined_by_both_static_productions`
asserted `StaticMode::Continuous` here, i.e. it pinned the inverse as correct
while its own name claimed both productions declined. It now asserts the
decline on both the dispatched and the direct entry point.

* fix(parser,engine): fail closed on an unsupported defender-permission gate (phase-rs#8785)

[HIGH] from the maintainer review on PR phase-rs#9201.

Production (b) fell back to a BARE `StaticCondition::Unrecognized` when
`parse_static_condition` could not type a printed `" as long as <gate>"`.
`evaluate_condition` reads that variant as TRUE, so a restriction the parser
did not understand became an UNCONDITIONAL attack permission.

Four corpus cards print this shape and attacked with no regard for their
printed gate: Novice Knight, Karsus Depthguard, Ichor Aberration, Surveillance
Phantasm. The fallback now routes through `unenforceable_gate_marker`, this
repo's standing remedy — `Not(Unrecognized)` reads FALSE forever, while
`contains_unrecognized` and `coverage::check_statics` still surface the clause
as an unimplemented gap rather than hiding it. Wrong in the safe direction,
and visible.

Two regressions, because a condition SHAPE does not establish that the
declaration is refused:
  * `novice_knight_leading_condition_form_fails_closed` — the parse-side value;
  * `unsupported_trailing_gate_on_the_defender_permission_fails_closed` — the
    runtime half: the creature is not offered as a candidate AND
    `validate_attackers` refuses it. Two-sided on one carrier shape, with an
    answerable anchored condition on the same board still offering, so the
    refusal is attributable to the marker rather than to gating as such.

Scope: the same bare-`Unrecognized` fallback exists in sibling productions
(loyalty.rs, anthem.rs, type_change.rs, dispatch.rs). Only the flagged
`CanAttackWithDefender` path is changed here; the asymmetry is deliberate and
the rest are follow-ups.

This MOVES those four cards in the card-data artifact and at runtime.

* fix(parser): compose both halves of a defender exception with a companion (phase-rs#8785)

[HIGH] from the maintainer review on PR phase-rs#9201.

Both static defender-exception productions bound the recognizer remainder as
`_rest` and discarded it. Expedition Lookout — "As long as …, this creature can
attack as though it didn't have defender AND IT CAN'T BE BLOCKED." — therefore
kept its defender exception while silently losing its printed evasion, and
coverage reported the card as supported.

The review allowed composing the companion or strict-failing. I strict-failed
first; the test proved that only MOVES the loss. Declining production (b) lets
the line fall through to the sibling `can't be blocked` arm, which emits the
evasion and drops the PERMISSION — the mirror of the original defect, and still
green, so it does not meet "do not let a partial prefix be green".

That failure also showed the fix. The companion arm already parses this line
correctly — same `affected`, same leading gate — it merely ignores the defender
clause. So `try_defender_exception_with_companion` takes that result as the
companion and supplies only the missing `CanAttackWithDefender`, inheriting
`affected` and conjoining conditions through the one `combine_conditions`
authority. Both halves carry the graveyard gate, which is what the line says.

No splice is involved. The forward splitter
(`try_split_and_can_attack_despite_defender`) handles the defender clause
SECOND by splicing it out; that cannot work here because the companion shares
this line's subject and leading condition, and splicing leaves a malformed
fragment.

Guards: production (b) still declines the rules-bearing case, so the composer's
`parse_static_line` call cannot recurse back into it; and if (b) ever stops
declining, the composer bails rather than emitting a duplicate permission.
Punctuation-only tails stay with (b), so the two cannot both fire.

`adjacent_defender_grammars_keep_their_own_parse` ARM 9 asserted the rider was
IGNORED — it pinned the defect. It now asserts both halves compose.
`defender_exception_rules_bearing_remainder_composes_both_halves` is
three-sided: rules-bearing composes, punctuation-only still parses on (b), and
the interposed form is untouched — the middle fixture is what stops the
remainder check from being widened into deleting every card on this arm.

Expedition Lookout gains its evasion; it was half-enforced at base.

[LOW] from the third maintainer review on PR phase-rs#9201.

The comment above `defending_player_anchored_form` still described an
"OPT-IN ALLOWLIST with a `_ => None` default, NOT an exhaustive match", and

was removed earlier in this branch, so the note instructed a future maintainer
to restore exactly what was deliberately taken out.

Now describes the explicit `None` arms and keeps the rationale that matters:
`None` is still the fail-closed direction, and what the exhaustive form buys is
that a NEW anchored condition cannot inherit it silently.

* fix(parser): stop the attached-subject arm dropping a rules-bearing tail (phase-rs#8785)

[HIGH] from the third maintainer review on PR phase-rs#9201.

The previous round composed the remainder on the NON-ATTACHED production and
left its attached-subject sibling binding `_rest` and discarding it. That fixed
the instance, not the class: "Enchanted creature can attack as though it didn't
have defender AND HAS FLYING." kept the permission and silently lost the flying
grant, while coverage reported the card as supported.

Production (a) now composes or declines. The companion is parsed by RE-ENTERING
this production on the peeled remainder with the same `affected` — it is already
the authority for attached predicates, so "has flying" is its own job, and the
recursion is on a strictly shorter input that no longer contains the defender
clause. If the conjunction or the companion cannot be modelled, the whole clause
declines (empty vec) and callers fall back; a partial prefix must not be green.

Also guards the four single-return callers in `dispatch.rs`, which took
`.next()` on the result. A correct two-definition compose would have had its
companion dropped there — the same defect one layer up. They now decline a
composed pair and leave those lines to `parse_static_line_multi`.

`attached_subject_rules_bearing_remainder_composes_or_declines` is four-sided:
a modellable companion composes; an unmodellable one declines entirely; a
punctuation-only tail still parses (this is what stops the check being widened
into deleting every plain attached-subject card); and the single-return path
declines rather than truncating.

Both halves mutation-proven. Reverting production (a) reds the compose
assertion with the defect verbatim — one `CanAttackWithDefender`,
`modifications: []`, description still reading "…and has flying". Restoring
`.next()` in dispatch reds only the single-return fixture, with production (a)
still composing correctly.

* fix(parser): carry the printed gate onto every composed conjunct (phase-rs#8785)

Blocker from the fourth maintainer review on PR phase-rs#9201. This is a defect I
introduced in `655b1eb30`, not a pre-existing one.

That commit applied `suffix_condition` to the defender permission and then
recursively parsed the companion from the body AFTER the trailing condition had
been split off — so the companion never saw the gate. "Enchanted creature can
attack as though it didn't have defender AND HAS FLYING as long as you control a
Mountain" gated the attack permission and granted flying UNCONDITIONALLY. A
fail-open.

Every composed conjunct now carries the gate: `combine_conditions` so a
companion with its own inner condition conjoins rather than being overwritten,
and `attach_gated_condition` so a gate unrepresentable on the companion's mode
fails CLOSED exactly as it does on the permission. This is the same rule the
non-attached composer in `evasion.rs` already applied to both halves — the
invariant existed one commit earlier and did not get carried across.

The test is why this survived review. Its four fixtures never varied the gate,
so a correct parse and a defective one were indistinguishable: "both halves
survive" passed while the gate silently did not. A fifth fixture now asserts, by
exact value, that BOTH definitions carry the Mountain condition.

Mutation-proven: reverting to `composed.extend(companions)` reds the new fixture
with `left: None` against the expected `IsPresent{Mountain}` — the unconditioned
flying grant, verbatim.

…s CR citations (phase-rs#9271)

scripts/check-cr-citation-anchors.sh (run from .githooks/pre-commit) walks
crates and client and fails on main because phase-rs#9201 (b33cbc6) introduced 58
lines across 10 files that cite a CR rule number alongside a coordinate into
docs/MagicCompRules.txt. That file is gitignored and its line numbers drift on
every fetch, so the coordinate is stale on arrival: e.g. CR 702.3b was cited at
:3915 and is at 3920 in the checked-out CR (effective 2026-09-25); CR 506.2 was
:2202 and is now 2203; CR 509.1b's :2857 never was 509.1b's line at all
(509.1b sits at 2352). The stale coordinate fails the gate for every commit on
main until removed, mirroring the defect phase-rs#8515 (74b3c96) already fixed for
an earlier batch.

This commit deletes each of the 58 coordinates and keeps every citation's rule
number and prose, mirroring phase-rs#8515's three removal shapes. No rule number is
replaced and no cited rule text is falsified (each of the 20 distinct rule
numbers was re-verified against docs/MagicCompRules.txt). Six of the 58 lines
are assert!/assert_eq! message string literals in combat.rs tests
(weathered_sentinels_line_parses_to_anchored_can_attack_with_defender,
real_card_anchored_permission_offers_and_scopes_the_published_target_list,
real_card_published_combat_constraints_agree_whole) — they are gate hits
because the gate reads every .rs line, not only comments, so their message
text changes too; no assertion condition changes.
