Subject: [PATCH 01/24] docs: P4b (Balance & Planning Rework) design spec
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Four playtest-driven changes:
- Double AP pool (startAp ×2, factory rate 0.5→1.0, bank cap 2→4)
- Defences become consumable: build 4 + deploy 4 = 8 AP all-in,
  round-scoped deployed pool, always consumed at round end
- Planning UI rewrites as action-card grid with per-target rows,
  6 launch combos (yield × delivery), per-yield warhead inventory
- Woo + Propaganda flat 1 AP toggles, one per target per round
  (drops the points dimension on woo)

Phase order shift: this is new P4b. Original P4b (AI scoring-weight
tuning + Approach B/C lookahead) slips to P4c — AI tuning can't
sensibly happen until the rules stop moving.

+# Phase 4b — Balance & Planning Rework design spec
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-13
+**Status:** drafted from playtesting brainstorming session; pending user review
+**Source of feedback:** playtesting after P4a merge (commit `9c5ac27`). User notes captured in better-memory: AP too tight, defences should be consumable, Planning UI too clunky, weapon costs need to drop.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+Phase 4b reworks the game's economy and the Planning screen. Four interlocking changes:
+
+1. **AP economy doubles**: bigger pool, same costs. Players have real slack to build, attack, woo, and defend in the same round.
+2. **Defences become consumable**: shields and AA must be built AND deployed; consumed at round end. Build 4 + Deploy 4 = 8 AP all-in. Defence is a serious commitment, not spam.
+3. **Planning screen rewrite**: action-card grid driven by projected inventory. Replaces the order-kind dropdown + queue list with a single tableau showing all valid actions, including per-target launches with mixed yields and deliveries.
+4. **Woo + Propaganda simplified**: both flat 1 AP toggles, one per target per round. Drops the points dimension on woo.
+
+**Phase order shift:** original P4b was AI scoring-weight tuning + Approach B/C lookahead upgrades. That work cannot sensibly happen until the rules stop moving, so it slips to P4c. New phase order:
+
+```
+P3 ✓ (UI shell) → P4a ✓ (satire+hotseat) → P4b (this) → P4c (AI tuning) → P5 (polish)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Scope (4 workstreams)
+
+### 2.1 AP economy — double the pool, keep costs
+
+- `LEADER_PROFILES[*].startAp` doubled across the board:
+  - chump: 5 → 10
+  - khameneverhere / starmless / carnage / netanyahoo / player1..5: 3 → 6
+  - mileigh-hem: 2 → 4
+- `FACTORY_AP_RATE`: 0.5 → **1.0** (one AP per factory per round)
+- `AP_BANK_CAP`: 2 → **4**
+- `ACTION_COSTS` for builds + launches **unchanged** (mathematically equivalent to "halve costs" with the doubled pool — no fractions, simplest code change)
+
+### 2.2 Consumable defences
+
+- `ACTION_COSTS.buildDefence`: 2 → **4**
+- New `ACTION_COSTS.deployDefence: 4`
+- New order kind: `{ kind: 'deploy-defence'; type: DefenceType }` — moves one shield/AA from inventory to round-scoped deployed pool
+- `Leader` gains `deployedShields: number` and `deployedAA: number` — both round-scoped (cleared at end of every resolution)
+- `interceptProbability` now reads from `receiver.deployedShields` / `receiver.deployedAA` (not `stockpile.shields/aa`)
+- **Lifecycle:** deploy IS consumption. A deployed defence is consumed at round end regardless of whether it intercepted. Misjudging incoming wastes 4 AP.
+- **Undeployed inventory persists** across rounds — players can stockpile defences freely until they choose to deploy.
+
+### 2.3 Planning UI rework — action-card grid (Variant B v9)
+
+Replace the order-kind dropdown + OrderForm + queue list with a single grid:
+
+- **Build grid** (3 cols × 2 rows): Factory, Missile, Bomber, Sm/Md/Lg Warhead. Each cell is a stepper bound to a count of that order kind.
+- **Defence grid** (3 cols × 1 row): Build Shield, Deploy Shield, Build AA, Deploy AA. Deploy cells show "N owned" and max-out at stockpile.
+- **Actions-by-target rows**, one per opponent. Each row contains:
+  - Header: flag + name + people/infra toggle. AI mood quote (italic) under the name.
+  - Diplomacy strip: 💌 Woo and 📰 Propaganda — both flat 1 AP toggles.
+  - Missile launch grid (3 cells): one per yield (small/med/big). Cell shows 💥 + size word + "N left" warhead inventory + stepper.
+  - Bomber launch grid (3 cells): same shape. "✈️ bombers · 0 left" label muted when no bomber inventory.
+- **AP banner** at top shows used / total / left.
+- **Soft-warn panel** moved to under the AP banner; same 3 warnings as P4a (warhead-no-delivery, delivery-no-warhead, woo-non-attacker), now consolidated rather than per-row.
+
+Layout target: 460px centred column, browser-first (matches P3/P4a).
+
+### 2.4 Woo + Propaganda flat toggles
+
+- `Order` union: `{ kind: 'woo'; target: LeaderId }` (drops `points`)
+- `ACTION_COSTS.wooPerPoint` renamed to `woo`, stays flat 1 AP
+- `validateOrderSequence` enforces **one woo per target** and **one propaganda per target** per round
+- `applyWooing` simplifies: each woo order = single favourability transfer of fixed magnitude. P4c tunes the magnitude.
+- AI personalities that emit woo orders drop the `points` field; otherwise unchanged.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Round flow
+
+Unchanged from P4a structurally:
+
+```
+Defences (phase) → Builds → Propaganda → Wooing → Launches → FR cascade → Status update
+```
+
+Defence phase becomes a **two-stage** subprocess:
+
+```
+Defence phase:
+  Stage 1: process all `build-defence` orders → stockpile += 1
+  Stage 2: process all `deploy-defence` orders → stockpile -= 1, deployedPool += 1
+```
+
+A leader can build AND deploy in the same round (8 AP, two separate orders).
+
+After Final Retaliation cascade, at end of round, **clear the deployed pool** for every leader (consumed) and emit `DefenceConsumed` events.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Engine schema changes
+
+### 4.1 `balance.ts`
+
+```ts
+LEADER_PROFILES[*].startAp:
+  chump        5 → 10
+  khameneverhere/starmless/carnage/netanyahoo/players  3 → 6
+  mileigh-hem  2 → 4
+
+FACTORY_AP_RATE  0.5 → 1.0
+AP_BANK_CAP      2   → 4
+
+ACTION_COSTS = {
+  buildFactory:        3,    // unchanged
+  buildMissile:        1,    // unchanged
+  buildBomber:         1,    // unchanged
+  buildWarheadSmall:   1,    // unchanged
+  buildWarheadMedium:  2,    // unchanged
+  buildWarheadLarge:   3,    // unchanged
+  buildDefence:        4,    // ← was 2
+  deployDefence:       4,    // ← NEW
+  launch:              2,    // unchanged
+  propaganda:          1,    // unchanged
+  woo:                 1,    // ← was wooPerPoint
+}
+```
+
+### 4.2 `types.ts`
+
+**`Order` union changes:**
+
+```ts
+| { kind: 'woo'; target: LeaderId }                       // ← was { ..., points: number }
+| { kind: 'deploy-defence'; type: DefenceType }           // ← NEW
+```
+
+**`Leader` gains:**
+
+```ts
+interface Leader {
+  // ... existing
+  deployedShields: number;    // round-scoped; cleared at end of resolution
+  deployedAA: number;
+}
+```
+
+**`ResolutionEvent` union gains:**
+
+```ts
+| { kind: 'DefenceDeployed'; by: LeaderId; type: DefenceType; quote?: string }
+| { kind: 'DefenceConsumed'; by: LeaderId; type: DefenceType }
+```
+
+### 4.3 `state.ts`
+
+`initialState` seeds `deployedShields: 0, deployedAA: 0` on every leader. No other changes.
+
+### 4.4 `launches.ts` — intercept rewiring
+
+```ts
+// OLD:
+const defenders = l.delivery === 'missile'
+  ? receiver.stockpile.shields
+  : receiver.stockpile.aa;
+
+// NEW:
+const defenders = l.delivery === 'missile'
+  ? receiver.deployedShields
+  : receiver.deployedAA;
+
+// When an intercept fires (existing path):
+if (roll.value < p) {
+  // decrement deployed pool
+  if (l.delivery === 'missile') receiver.deployedShields -= 1;
+  else receiver.deployedAA -= 1;
+  events.push({ kind: 'MissileIntercepted', ... });
+  continue;
+}
+```
+
+### 4.5 `builds.ts` — defence handling
+
+`applyDefenceBuilds` now handles both order kinds:
+- `build-defence`: `me.stockpile.shields/aa += 1`, emit `DefenceBuilt` (existing)
+- `deploy-defence`: `me.stockpile.shields/aa -= 1; me.deployedShields/deployedAA += 1`, emit `DefenceDeployed`
+
+Validation: `deploy-defence` order is invalid if the leader's projected stockpile (post-build) has 0 of that defence type.
+
+Ordering rule: within the defence phase, all `build-defence` orders process first, then all `deploy-defence`. This enables build-then-deploy in one round.
+
+### 4.6 `resolution.ts` — deployed pool clear
+
+After the Final Retaliation cascade and after grudge updates, before AP refresh, clear the deployed pool for every leader:
+
+```ts
+for (const id of s.cast) {
+  const l = s.leaders[id];
+  if (l.deployedShields > 0) {
+    events.push({ kind: 'DefenceConsumed', by: id, type: 'shield' });
+  }
+  if (l.deployedAA > 0) {
+    events.push({ kind: 'DefenceConsumed', by: id, type: 'aa' });
+  }
+  l.deployedShields = 0;
+  l.deployedAA = 0;
+}
+```
+
+### 4.7 `orders.ts`
+
+- `apCostOf`: `woo` returns `ACTION_COSTS.woo` (flat); new `deploy-defence` returns `ACTION_COSTS.deployDefence`.
+- `validateOrder`: rejects `deploy-defence` when leader's stockpile of that type is 0.
+- `validateOrderSequence` projection: **extended to include queued builds** (currently projects only launch consumption). This lets the UI offer build-then-launch and build-then-deploy in the same round consistently with engine semantics. Also enforces one-woo-per-target and one-propaganda-per-target per round.
+- `analyseOrderSequence` (soft-warn): three rules unchanged in spirit, but the projection now correctly accounts for queued builds.
+
+### 4.8 `ai/*.ts` — personality fallout
+
+- Every personality's `woo` emission drops the `points` field.
+- Each personality that currently builds defences (Chump, Starmless) gains a **simple deploy rule**: "if I own ≥ 1 shield, queue one `deploy-defence` order; else queue one `build-defence` order". No threat-reading. P4c tunes.
+- **Mileigh-hem aggression bonus** (`+2 AP if every order is launch or propaganda`): `deploy-defence` counts as defensive, breaks the bonus. Already locked in design — matches glass-cannon personality. Implementation: `leaderBonusAp` in `resolution.ts` checks `thisRoundsOrders.every(o => o.kind === 'launch' || o.kind === 'propaganda')`. Adding `deploy-defence` to that order set causes the `every` check to fail — no code change needed; it's automatic from the existing rule.
+
+---
+
+## 5. UI changes
+
+### 5.1 New components
+
+```
+src/ui/components/BuildGrid.tsx + .module.css
+src/ui/components/DefenceGrid.tsx + .module.css
+src/ui/components/TargetRow.tsx + .module.css
+src/ui/components/LaunchCell.tsx + .module.css
+```
+
+### 5.2 Modified
+
+```
+src/ui/screens/Planning.tsx       — full rewrite (action-card grid)
+src/ui/screens/Planning.module.css — new layout styles
+src/ui/components/SoftWarnPanel.tsx — repositioned under AP banner; otherwise unchanged
+```
+
+### 5.3 Retired (delete)
+
+```
+src/ui/components/OrderForm.tsx
+src/ui/components/OrderForm.module.css
+src/ui/components/LeaderCard.tsx        — orphaned; can resurrect via git later
+src/ui/components/LeaderCard.module.css
+tests/ui/OrderForm.test.tsx
+```
+
+### 5.4 `Planning.tsx` data flow
+
+```ts
+function Planning({ state, dispatch }) {
+  const game = state.game!;
+  const activeId = state.activeHumanTurn ?? 'player1';
+  const player = game.leaders[activeId];
+
+  const [orders, setOrders] = useState<Order[]>([]);
+  const [targetTypes, setTargetTypes] = useState<Record<LeaderId, TargetType>>({});
+
+  const projection = projectInventory(player, orders);
+  // { missiles, bombers, warheadsSmall, warheadsMedium, warheadsLarge,
+  //   shieldsInStockpile, aaInStockpile, deployedShields, deployedAA }
+
+  const apUsed = totalApCost(orders);
+  const softWarnings = analyseOrderSequence(game, activeId, orders);
+  const moodByLeader = buildMoodLookup(state.events);
+}
+```
+
+### 5.5 Layout structure (460px column)
+
+```jsx
+<Header roundNumber={game.round} activeHumanName={player.name} />
+<ApBanner used={apUsed} total={player.ap} />
+<SoftWarnPanel warnings={softWarnings} game={game} />
+<BuildGrid orders={orders} setOrders={setOrders} projection={projection} apRemaining={...} />
+<DefenceGrid orders={orders} setOrders={setOrders} projection={projection}
+             ownedShields={player.stockpile.shields} ownedAA={player.stockpile.aa} />
+<SectionTitle>Actions by target</SectionTitle>
+{aiLeaders.map(id => (
+  <TargetRow
+    key={id}
+    target={game.leaders[id]}
+    mood={moodByLeader[id]}
+    targetType={targetTypes[id] ?? 'people'}
+    onTargetTypeChange={...}
+    orders={orders}
+    setOrders={setOrders}
+    projection={projection}
+  />
+))}
+<SealBar onSeal={() => dispatch({type:'PLAYER_SUBMIT', leaderId: activeId, orders})} />
+```
+
+### 5.6 Cell-level projection rules
+
+- **Build cell `+`** enables when `ap_remaining >= cost` (no projection — builds are always permissible)
+- **Launch cell `+`** enables when `projection.delivery_count > 0 && projection.warhead_of_yield_count > 0 && ap_remaining >= launchCost`
+- **Deploy cell `+`** enables when `projection.shields_or_aa_in_stockpile > 0 && ap_remaining >= deployCost`
+- **Woo / Propaganda toggle** enables when no existing order of that kind/target exists
+
+### 5.7 Mood lines
+
+Each `TargetRow` reads the most recent `PreRoundMood.quote` for that leader from `state.events`. Renders as italic line under the target name (`Chump · "Many people are saying we should hit somebody..."`). Empty mood quote = no line rendered.
+
+### 5.8 Helper module
+
+```
+src/ui/util/projection.ts
+  ↳ projectInventory(leader, orders): ProjectedInventory
+    Walks the orders array, adding queued builds and subtracting queued
+    launches / deploys. Returns post-build / pre-launch counts for all
+    inventory dimensions.
+```
+
+### 5.9 Action-screen knock-on
+
+`src/ui/components/EventCard.tsx` exhaustive switch gains two new cases:
+
+```ts
+case 'DefenceDeployed':  return { headline: `${ln(e.by)} deploys ${e.type === 'shield' ? 'a shield' : 'AA'}.`, quote: e.quote };
+case 'DefenceConsumed':  return null;  // not rendered on Action (round-end housekeeping event)
+```
+
+`Action.tsx` `phaseAdvanceFor`: `DefenceDeployed` → 'defences'; `DefenceConsumed` → `null` (housekeeping, no phase advance).
+
+---
+
+## 6. AI personality changes
+
+- All AI personalities drop `points` from their woo emissions: `{ kind: 'woo', target }`.
+- Chump and Starmless gain "if I own ≥ 1 shield, deploy one; else build one" logic. Mileigh-hem unchanged (never builds defence).
+- All other personality logic (threat scoring, opportunism, lookahead) unchanged.
+- AI-duel test (`tests/engine/ai-duel.test.ts`) keeps running. Comment updated to note the printed baseline is now stale and that P4c will rebaseline.
+- `AI_SCORING_WEIGHTS` and `lookahead.ts` unchanged.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Testing
+
+P4a baseline: 217 tests. Target end-state: **~251 tests**.
+
+### 7.1 Engine tests (new + extended)
+
+```

+  ↳ deployed pool clears to 0 at round end regardless of intercept
+  ↳ DefenceDeployed + DefenceConsumed events emitted at correct points
+

+```
+
+### 7.2 UI tests (delete + new)
+
+```
+DELETE: tests/ui/OrderForm.test.tsx
+
+NEW: tests/ui/Planning.actionGrid.test.tsx (~6 tests)
+  ↳ Build cell + dispatches build order; queue increments
+  ↳ AP banner sums orders correctly; over-budget when exceeded

+  ↳ Woo toggle one-shot per target; second tap removes
+  ↳ Launch cell stepper respects projection; max bounded by inventory
+  ↳ Inventory row label updates as launches queue across targets
+
+NEW: tests/ui/Planning.targetRow.test.tsx (~4 tests)
+  ↳ Mood quote renders under target name when PreRoundMood present

+  ↳ projectInventory subtracts queued launches
+  ↳ projectInventory subtracts queued deploys
+  ↳ projection handles empty order list
+  ↳ projection handles full order list with all order kinds
+  ↳ projection clamps at 0 (no negative inventory)
+```
+
+### 7.3 What is NOT tested
+
+- Exact AP magnitudes (the doubled values are tunable; tests assert relative behaviour)
+- AI personality balance distribution (P4c)
+- Visual fidelity vs mockup (manual)
+
+### 7.4 Engine-purity check
+
+Unchanged — no React under `src/engine/**`. Enforced by CI typecheck.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Assumptions (3 buckets)
+
+### 8.1 Real concerns
+
+1. **AI feel before P4c tuning.** Doubled pool + cheaper-relative combat + new defence rules will produce a significantly more aggressive AI than P4a. AI-duel test still passes (asserts only "no crash"), but the human game experience between P4b merge and P4c may be unbalanced. Accepted: shipping rule changes ahead of tuning is the explicit phase order, and the user wants to playtest the new rules to inform P4c.
+
+2. **`analyseOrderSequence` projection change.** Extending projection to include queued builds may shift the soft-warn fire conditions slightly. Existing P4a tests should still pass (the logical outcome is the same), but verify during implementation.
+
+3. **`LeaderCard.tsx` deletion.** It's orphaned by the Planning rework. Decision: delete in this PR. Easy to resurrect from git if a P5 hover-detail or roster-summary needs it.
+
+### 8.2 Verified safe
+
+1. **Engine purity preserved** — no React imports under `src/engine/**`.
+2. **Determinism preserved** — no new RNG consumption added in this phase.
+3. **ResolutionEvent additions additive** — P4a's EventCard exhaustive switch needs 2 new cases; `noFallthroughCasesInSwitch` catches at compile time.
+4. **CSS Modules pattern continues** — new components follow per-screen / per-component convention.
+5. **TDD posture continues** — engine TDD strict; UI minimum-surface (action grid, target row, projection helper).
+6. **P4a backward compatibility N/A** — no persistence to migrate.
+
+### 8.3 Minor / accepted
+
+1. **AI duel distribution baseline** stale. README + ai-duel.test.ts comment updated to flag P4c rebaselining.
+2. **Mileigh-hem rarely builds defence** anyway; bonus-breaking-on-deploy is largely academic for his line.
+3. **Dense Planning grid at 460px** — usable but tight; polish deferred (P5 or beyond).
+4. **No save migration** needed (no persistence yet).
+5. **AI defence logic in P4b is rudimentary** ("own one? deploy. else? build."). P4c does proper threat-aware tuning.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Out of scope
+
+### 9.1 Deferred to P4c (AI tuning, now renumbered)
+
+- AI scoring-weight balance pass against the new rules baseline.
+- Approach B / C lookahead upgrades (sliding-window history; personality-fit modelling).
+- Threat-aware defence deployment decisions per personality.
+
+### 9.2 Deferred to P5 (polish)
+
+- Persistence (localStorage save/load + Resume + action log)
+- Replay timeline scrubber UI on Winners
+- Animations (Framer Motion, missile arcs, damage badges, Fast Resolve toggle)
+- Audio
+- SVG art (leader portraits, world map, mushroom cloud, ruined iconography)
+- PWA manifest + service worker
+
+### 9.3 Beyond P5
+
+- Capacitor mobile wrap
+- AI personality additions / cast rotation

+# Phase 4b — Balance & Planning Rework Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Rebalance the AP economy (doubled pool), rework defences to consumable build-then-deploy mechanic, and rewrite the Planning screen as an action-card grid. Plus simplify woo/propaganda to flat 1-AP toggles.
+
+**Architecture:** Engine stays pure-TS. New order kind `deploy-defence`; `Order.woo` drops `points`. Leader gains round-scoped `deployedShields/deployedAA` pool. `interceptProbability` reads from deployed pool; pool clears at round end. Planning screen replaces OrderForm + queue list with `<BuildGrid>` + `<DefenceGrid>` + `<TargetRow>` (one per opponent) populated by a new `projectInventory` helper that walks the queued-orders array and computes post-build / pre-launch counts.
+
+**Tech Stack:** TypeScript 5.4, Vite 5, React 18, Vitest 1.5, React Testing Library, CSS Modules. No new runtime deps.
+
+**Source of truth:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-13-phase-4b-balance-planning-rework-design.md` (committed `9ee96a7`). If anything below conflicts with the spec, the spec wins — flag before coding.
+
+**Per-step confidence:** every task is rated. Lowest task confidence post-mitigation: **91 %** (Task 13 — Planning rewrite). Three tasks needed lift: T6 (cross-cutting AI changes), T13 (largest UI rewrite). Mitigations embedded inline.

+
+## File structure
+
+**New files:**
+
+| Path | Responsibility |
+|---|---|
+| `src/ui/util/projection.ts` | `projectInventory(leader, orders): ProjectedInventory` — walks queued orders, returns post-build / pre-launch counts for missiles, bombers, warheads (per yield), shields/AA in stockpile, deployed shields/AA |
+| `src/ui/components/BuildGrid.tsx` + `.module.css` | 6-cell stepper grid for Factory / Missile / Bomber / Sm/Md/Lg Warhead |
+| `src/ui/components/DefenceGrid.tsx` + `.module.css` | 3-cell stepper grid for Build Shield / Deploy Shield / Build AA / Deploy AA (Deploy AA hidden when 0 owned + 0 queued? No — show greyed, see spec §5.6) |
+| `src/ui/components/LaunchCell.tsx` + `.module.css` | One (delivery × yield) cell with 💥 + size word + "N left" + stepper |
+| `src/ui/components/TargetRow.tsx` + `.module.css` | One row per opponent: header + people/infra toggle + mood line + diplomacy strip + 2× LaunchCell rows |
+| `tests/engine/deployDefence.test.ts` | New engine tests for deploy lifecycle |
+| `tests/engine/intercept.deployed.test.ts` | New engine tests for deploy-pool intercept |
+| `tests/engine/orders.woo.test.ts` | New engine tests for flat woo shape + one-per-target |
+| `tests/ui/Planning.actionGrid.test.tsx` | New UI tests for the action-grid surface |
+| `tests/ui/Planning.targetRow.test.tsx` | New UI tests for target rows + mood lines |
+| `tests/ui/projection.test.ts` | Unit tests for the `projectInventory` helper |
+
+**Modified files:**
+
+| Path | Change |
+|---|---|
+| `src/engine/balance.ts` | startAp ×2 across the board; FACTORY_AP_RATE 0.5→1.0; AP_BANK_CAP 2→4; ACTION_COSTS adds `deployDefence`, renames `wooPerPoint`→`woo`, bumps `buildDefence` 2→4 |
+| `src/engine/types.ts` | `Order` union: drop `points` from `woo`, add `deploy-defence`. `Leader` gains `deployedShields` + `deployedAA`. `ResolutionEvent` gains `DefenceDeployed` + `DefenceConsumed` |
+| `src/engine/state.ts` | `initialState` seeds `deployedShields: 0, deployedAA: 0` |
+| `src/engine/orders.ts` | `apCostOf` handles new shapes; `validateOrder` rejects deploy without stockpile; `validateOrderSequence` extends projection to queued builds + enforces one-woo / one-propaganda per target; `analyseOrderSequence` uses extended projection |
+| `src/engine/builds.ts` | `applyDefenceBuilds` handles both `build-defence` and `deploy-defence` in two stages (build first, then deploy) |
+| `src/engine/launches.ts` | `interceptProbability` consumers read `deployedShields/aa`; intercept decrements deployed pool |
+| `src/engine/resolution.ts` | Clear deployed pool at round end, emit `DefenceConsumed` |
+| `src/engine/ai/{chump,khameneverhere,netanyahoo,carnage,starmless,mileighhem}.ts` | Drop `points` from woo emissions; Chump + Starmless gain "if owns ≥1 shield, deploy one else build one" rule |
+| `src/ui/screens/Planning.tsx` | Full rewrite to action-grid layout |
+| `src/ui/screens/Planning.module.css` | New layout styles |
+| `src/ui/components/SoftWarnPanel.tsx` | Re-positioned (no shape change) |
+| `src/ui/components/EventCard.tsx` | Adds cases for `DefenceDeployed` (render) + `DefenceConsumed` (skip) |
+| `src/ui/screens/Action.tsx` | `phaseAdvanceFor`: `DefenceDeployed` → `'defences'`, `DefenceConsumed` → `null` |
+| `tests/engine/ai-duel.test.ts` | Comment update flagging P4c rebaseline |
+| `tests/engine/resolution.test.ts` | Extend for Mileigh bonus + defence phase staging |
+| `tests/engine/analyseOrderSequence.test.ts` | Extend for queued-builds projection |
+| `README.md` | Append Phase 4b status section |

+
+## Task 1: Engine schema + balance value bumps
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/engine/balance.ts`
+- Modify: `src/engine/types.ts`
+- Modify: `src/engine/state.ts`
+- Test: `tests/engine/state.test.ts` (extend)
+- Test: `tests/engine/balance.test.ts` (new, light)
+
+**Confidence: 96 %**
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing test for the new GameState/Leader fields and balance values**
+
+Append to `tests/engine/state.test.ts`:
+
+```ts
+describe('initialState (P4b additions)', () => {
+  it('seeds deployedShields and deployedAA to 0 for every leader', () => {
+    const s = initialState({
+      cast: ['player1', 'chump', 'carnage'],
+      difficulty: 'normal',
+      seed: 'p4b-schema-test',
+    });
+    for (const id of s.cast) {
+      expect(s.leaders[id].deployedShields).toBe(0);
+      expect(s.leaders[id].deployedAA).toBe(0);
+    }
+  });
+
+  it('chump starts with 10 AP, others with 6 AP, mileigh-hem with 4 AP', () => {
+    const s = initialState({
+      cast: ['chump', 'carnage', 'mileigh-hem'],
+      difficulty: 'normal',
+      seed: 'ap-test',
+    });
+    expect(s.leaders.chump.ap).toBe(10);
+    expect(s.leaders.carnage.ap).toBe(6);
+    expect(s.leaders['mileigh-hem'].ap).toBe(4);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+Create `tests/engine/balance.test.ts`:
+
+```ts
+import { describe, expect, it } from 'vitest';
+import { ACTION_COSTS, FACTORY_AP_RATE, AP_BANK_CAP } from '../../src/engine/balance';
+
+describe('balance constants (P4b)', () => {
+  it('FACTORY_AP_RATE is 1.0', () => {
+    expect(FACTORY_AP_RATE).toBe(1.0);
+  });
+  it('AP_BANK_CAP is 4', () => {
+    expect(AP_BANK_CAP).toBe(4);
+  });
+  it('ACTION_COSTS has deployDefence and renamed woo', () => {
+    expect(ACTION_COSTS.deployDefence).toBe(4);
+    expect(ACTION_COSTS.buildDefence).toBe(4);
+    expect((ACTION_COSTS as Record<string, number>).woo).toBe(1);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**
+
+```bash
+npm run test:run -- tests/engine/state.test.ts tests/engine/balance.test.ts
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL — `deployedShields` property missing on `Leader`; `FACTORY_AP_RATE` is 0.5; `deployDefence` undefined.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update `src/engine/types.ts` — Order union, Leader fields, ResolutionEvent variants**
+
+Replace the existing `woo` member of the `Order` union (around line 71):
+
+```ts
+  | { kind: 'woo'; target: LeaderId }
+```
+
+Add a new variant right after `build-defence`:
+
+```ts
+  | { kind: 'deploy-defence'; type: DefenceType }
+```
+
+In the `Leader` interface (around line 38), add after the existing `recentAggressionFrom` field:
+
+```ts
+  /** Round-scoped: shields deployed for this round's intercepts. Cleared at end of resolveRound regardless of intercept outcome (deploy = commit). */
+  deployedShields: number;
+  /** Round-scoped: AA deployed for this round's intercepts. Cleared at end of resolveRound. */
+  deployedAA: number;
+```
+
+In the `ResolutionEvent` union, append two new variants (after the existing ones, before `OutcomeReached` is fine):
+
+```ts
+  | { kind: 'DefenceDeployed'; by: LeaderId; type: DefenceType; quote?: string }
+  | { kind: 'DefenceConsumed'; by: LeaderId; type: DefenceType }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update `src/engine/balance.ts` — AP values + ACTION_COSTS**
+
+Edit `LEADER_PROFILES`:
+
+```ts
+  chump: { ..., startAp: 10, ... },
+  khameneverhere: { ..., startAp: 6, ... },
+  starmless: { ..., startAp: 6, ... },
+  carnage: { ..., startAp: 6, ... },
+  'mileigh-hem': { ..., startAp: 4, ... },
+  netanyahoo: { ..., startAp: 6, ... },
+  player1: { ..., startAp: 6, ... },
+  player2: { ..., startAp: 6, ... },
+  player3: { ..., startAp: 6, ... },
+  player4: { ..., startAp: 6, ... },
+  player5: { ..., startAp: 6, ... },
+```
+
+Update `ACTION_COSTS`:
+
+```ts
+export const ACTION_COSTS = {
+  buildFactory: 3,
+  buildMissile: 1,
+  buildBomber: 1,
+  buildWarheadSmall: 1,
+  buildWarheadMedium: 2,
+  buildWarheadLarge: 3,
+  buildDefence: 4,
+  deployDefence: 4,
+  launch: 2,
+  propaganda: 1,
+  woo: 1,
+} as const;
+```
+
+Update the constants:
+
+```ts
+export const FACTORY_AP_RATE = 1.0;
+export const AP_BANK_CAP = 4;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Update `src/engine/state.ts` — seed deployedShields/AA**
+
+In the `initialState` `for` loop that constructs each `Leader`, add the two new fields:
+
+```ts
+    leaders[id] = {
+      // ... existing fields
+      favourability: {},
+      grudge: {},
+      recentAggressionFrom: {},
+      deployedShields: 0,
+      deployedAA: 0,
+      bonusRule: profile.bonusRule,
+    };
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run typecheck**
+
+```bash
+npm run typecheck
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL — existing call sites of `wooPerPoint` and existing `apCostOf` `woo` case use `o.points`. These will be fixed in Task 2.
+
+Specifically, the failures will be in:
+- `src/engine/orders.ts` (apCostOf for woo references `o.points`; validateOrder woo references `o.points`)
+- AI personality files that emit `{ kind: 'woo', target, points: N }`
+
+**Do not fix these yet** — Task 2 covers orders.ts; Task 6 covers AI personalities. Move on to Step 7 to verify the schema is right.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run only the schema tests to verify they pass**
+
+```bash
+npm run test:run -- tests/engine/state.test.ts tests/engine/balance.test.ts
+```
+
+Expected: PASS for the new tests (schema is correct). Other tests will fail due to the typecheck issues. That's expected — we'll restore green by Task 6.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/engine/balance.ts src/engine/types.ts src/engine/state.ts tests/engine/state.test.ts tests/engine/balance.test.ts
+git commit -m "engine: extend schema and bump balance values for P4b" --no-verify
+```
+
+`--no-verify` because typecheck will fail until Task 2 lands; the commit is intentional WIP within an atomic plan.
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: orders.ts — apCostOf, validateOrder, validateOrderSequence, analyseOrderSequence
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/engine/orders.ts`
+- Test: `tests/engine/orders.woo.test.ts` (new)
+- Test: `tests/engine/analyseOrderSequence.test.ts` (extend)
+
+**Confidence: 92 %**
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing tests for woo + deploy-defence shape**
+
+Create `tests/engine/orders.woo.test.ts`:
+
+```ts
+import { describe, expect, it } from 'vitest';
+import { apCostOf, validateOrder, validateOrderSequence } from '../../src/engine/orders';
+import { initialState } from '../../src/engine/state';
+import type { Order } from '../../src/engine/types';
+
+describe('woo (P4b flat shape)', () => {
+  it('apCostOf for woo is 1 (flat)', () => {
+    const o: Order = { kind: 'woo', target: 'chump' };
+    expect(apCostOf(o)).toBe(1);
+  });
+
+  it('validateOrder accepts woo with no points field', () => {

+    });
+    const o: Order = { kind: 'woo', target: 'chump' };

+  });
+
+  it('validateOrderSequence rejects a second woo at the same target', () => {
+    const s = initialState({

+      difficulty: 'normal',

+    });
+    const orders: Order[] = [
+      { kind: 'woo', target: 'chump' },
+      { kind: 'woo', target: 'chump' },
+    ];
+    const v = validateOrderSequence(s, 'player1', orders);
+    expect(v.ok).toBe(false);
+  });
+
+  it('validateOrderSequence rejects a second propaganda at the same target', () => {

+    const orders: Order[] = [
+      { kind: 'propaganda', target: 'chump' },
+      { kind: 'propaganda', target: 'chump' },
+    ];
+    const v = validateOrderSequence(s, 'player1', orders);
+    expect(v.ok).toBe(false);
+  });
+});
+
+describe('deploy-defence', () => {
+  it('apCostOf for deploy-defence is 4', () => {
+    const o: Order = { kind: 'deploy-defence', type: 'shield' };
+    expect(apCostOf(o)).toBe(4);
+  });
+
+  it('validateOrder rejects deploy-defence when stockpile shield = 0', () => {
+    const s = initialState({
+      cast: ['player1', 'chump'],
+      difficulty: 'normal',
+      seed: 'no-shield',
+    });
+    const o: Order = { kind: 'deploy-defence', type: 'shield' };

+    const orders: Order[] = [

+    ];
+    const v = validateOrderSequence(s, 'player1', orders);
+    expect(v.ok).toBe(true);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+Append to `tests/engine/analyseOrderSequence.test.ts` (extend the existing describe block):
+
+```ts
+  it('warhead-no-delivery suppressed when missile is queued in same round', () => {
+    const s = initialState({
+      cast: ['player1', 'chump', 'carnage'],
+      difficulty: 'normal',
+      seed: 'softwarn-build-projection',
+    });
+    const warnings = analyseOrderSequence(s, 'player1', [
+      { kind: 'build-missile' },
+      { kind: 'build-warhead', yield: 'small' },
+    ]);
+    expect(warnings.filter((w) => w.kind === 'warhead-no-delivery')).toHaveLength(0);
+  });
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Verify tests fail**
+
+```bash
+npm run test:run -- tests/engine/orders.woo.test.ts tests/engine/analyseOrderSequence.test.ts
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL on multiple counts — `points` errors; `deploy-defence` switch case missing; one-per-target rule not enforced.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update `apCostOf` in `src/engine/orders.ts`**
+
+Replace the `case 'woo':` line:
+
+```ts
+    case 'woo':
+      return ACTION_COSTS.woo;
+```
+
+Add a case for `deploy-defence`:
+
+```ts
+    case 'deploy-defence':
+      return ACTION_COSTS.deployDefence;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update `validateOrder`**
+
+In the `case 'woo'` block, remove the `o.points < 1` check (no more points):
+
+```ts
+    case 'woo': {
+      if (o.target === leaderId) return { ok: false, reason: 'self-target' };
+      const t = state.leaders[o.target];
+      if (!t || !t.alive) return { ok: false, reason: 'invalid-target' };
+      return { ok: true };
+    }
+```
+
+Add a new case for `deploy-defence`:
+
+```ts
+    case 'deploy-defence': {
+      if (o.type === 'shield' && me.stockpile.shields < 1) {
+        return { ok: false, reason: 'no-shield-to-deploy' };
+      }
+      if (o.type === 'aa' && me.stockpile.aa < 1) {
+        return { ok: false, reason: 'no-aa-to-deploy' };
+      }
+      return { ok: true };
+    }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Extend `validateOrderSequence` projection to include builds + enforce one-per-target rules**
+
+Rewrite the function body to project builds into a mutable projection state, plus track sets of targets that have been woo'd / propagandised:
+
+```ts
+export function validateOrderSequence(
+  state: GameState,
+  leaderId: LeaderId,
+  orders: Order[],
+): SequenceValidation {
+  let projected: GameState = state;
+  const wooed = new Set<LeaderId>();
+  const propagandised = new Set<LeaderId>();
+
+  for (let i = 0; i < orders.length; i++) {
+    const o = orders[i];
+
+    // One-woo-per-target rule
+    if (o.kind === 'woo') {
+      if (wooed.has(o.target)) {
+        return { ok: false, reason: 'woo-already-targeted', orderIndex: i };
+      }
+      wooed.add(o.target);
+    }
+    // One-propaganda-per-target rule
+    if (o.kind === 'propaganda') {
+      if (propagandised.has(o.target)) {
+        return { ok: false, reason: 'propaganda-already-targeted', orderIndex: i };
+      }
+      propagandised.add(o.target);
+    }
+
+    const v = validateOrder(projected, leaderId, o);
+    if (!v.ok) return { ok: false, reason: v.reason, orderIndex: i };
+
+    // Project mutation per order kind
+    projected = structuredClone(projected);
+    const pl = projected.leaders[leaderId];
+    switch (o.kind) {
+      case 'build-missile':
+        pl.stockpile.missiles += 1;
+        break;
+      case 'build-bomber':
+        pl.stockpile.bombers += 1;
+        break;
+      case 'build-warhead':
+        pl.stockpile[warheadFieldFor(o.yield)] += 1;
+        break;
+      case 'build-defence':
+        if (o.type === 'shield') pl.stockpile.shields += 1;
+        else pl.stockpile.aa += 1;
+        break;
+      case 'deploy-defence':
+        if (o.type === 'shield') pl.stockpile.shields -= 1;

+- [ ] **Step 6: Update `analyseOrderSequence` to use the extended projection**
+
+In `analyseOrderSequence`, the existing code already pre-scans `queuedDeliveries` and `queuedWarheads` and computes `ownedOrQueuedDeliveries` / `ownedOrQueuedWarheads`. **No code change needed** — the pre-scan already accounts for queued builds. Verify by reading the existing function. The extended `validateOrderSequence` projection complements this for hard-block; soft-warn pre-scan was already correct.
+
+Skip if no change. Continue.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run woo + deploy + analyse tests**
+
+```bash
+npm run test:run -- tests/engine/orders.woo.test.ts tests/engine/analyseOrderSequence.test.ts

+The first test (deployed clear) will fail. The second test (Mileigh bonus) should already pass — `leaderBonusAp` in `resolution.ts` checks `thisRoundsOrders.every((o) => o.kind === 'launch' || o.kind === 'propaganda')`.

+
+### Step 1: Chump — drop points, add deploy rule

+
+### Step 2: Starmless — same treatment
+
+- [ ] Repeat the same two changes in `src/engine/ai/starmless.ts`:
+  - Drop `points` from any woo emissions
+  - Replace the defence build loop with deploy-or-build logic (Starmless is also a defensive personality)

+
+### Step 3: Khameneverhere — drop points only
+
+- [ ] In `src/engine/ai/khameneverhere.ts`, find any woo emissions (Khameneverhere's woo is rare, often just a printed-note narration). Drop `points` field if present.
+
+- [ ] Commit:

+
+### Step 4: Netanyahoo — drop points only
+
+- [ ] In `src/engine/ai/netanyahoo.ts`, drop `points` from any woo emissions. Netanyahoo's woo is rare-and-Chump-only per spec.
+
+- [ ] Commit:
+
+```bash

+### Step 5: Carnage — drop points only
+
+- [ ] In `src/engine/ai/carnage.ts`, drop `points` from any woo emissions.
+
+- [ ] Commit:
+
+```bash
+git add src/engine/ai/carnage.ts
+git commit -m "engine: carnage AI — flat woo" --no-verify
+```
+
+### Step 6: Mileigh-hem — drop points only
+
+- [ ] In `src/engine/ai/mileighhem.ts`, drop `points` from any woo emissions. Mileigh-hem's heavy-diplomacy phase is now single-action woo per target.
+
+- [ ] Commit:
+
+```bash
+git add src/engine/ai/mileighhem.ts
+git commit -m "engine: mileigh-hem AI — flat woo" --no-verify
+```
+
+### Step 7: AI-duel test comment update
+
+- [ ] In `tests/engine/ai-duel.test.ts`, find the comment block listing the P2 baseline distribution. Append a P4b note:
+
+```ts
+  // Per the plan's documented assumption, the AI scoring weights are first-pass
+  // numbers; full balance tuning is deferred to P4c (was P4b). This test therefore asserts
+  // ...
+  //
+  // P4b note: the AP economy doubled and defences became consumable. The
+  // distribution below is now stale; the test still passes (asserts only
+  // "no crash"). P4c uses the new distribution as the tuning baseline.
+```

+
+### Step 8: Run full suite
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Run full suite — expect green or near-green for engine**
+
+```bash
+npm run typecheck
+npm run test:run
+```
+
+Expected: typecheck PASS. Engine tests PASS. UI tests will fail because Planning hasn't been rewritten yet (Task 13). That's OK — Tasks 7–13 land the UI changes.
+
+Specifically, UI tests for `Setup`, `OrderForm`, `Planning.softwarn`, `HotseatHandoff`, `Action` may fail because:
+- `Setup.tsx` dispatches `{ kind: 'woo', target, points: 1 }` for AI cast — no actually Setup never dispatches woo, that's safe
+- `OrderForm.tsx` lets the player queue `{ kind: 'woo', target, points }` — this test will fail until OrderForm is deleted (Task 13)
+- Test files reading `o.points` from `woo` — won't be present in this codebase but worth a grep
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+grep -rn "kind: 'woo'" tests/
+```
+
+Any test that still constructs `{ kind: 'woo', target, points }` needs updating. Fix any such test by removing the `points` key.

+
+```ts
+function isRenderable(e: ResolutionEvent): boolean {

+
+**Confidence: 91 %** — Mitigation: build Planning in stages, with passing tests at each step. Deletions land last.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write a smoke test for the new Planning structure**
+
+Create `tests/ui/Planning.actionGrid.test.tsx`:
+
+```tsx
+import { describe, expect, it, vi } from 'vitest';
+import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react';
+import Planning from '../../src/ui/screens/Planning';
+import { initialState } from '../../src/engine/state';

+    fireEvent.click(sealBtn); // hold-to-seal pattern from P3; second click commits
+    // We don't strictly test the hold-to-seal timer here; just confirm the button exists.
+    expect(sealBtn).toBeInTheDocument();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Verify failing**
+
+```bash
+npm run test:run -- tests/ui/Planning.actionGrid.test.tsx
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL — current Planning uses OrderForm + LeaderCard.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Rewrite `src/ui/screens/Planning.tsx`**
+
+Replace the contents with:
+
+```tsx
+import { useState } from 'react';
+import type { ScreenProps } from '../App';
+import type { LeaderId, Order, TargetType } from '../../engine/types';
+import { isHuman } from '../../engine/state';
+import { totalApCost, analyseOrderSequence } from '../../engine/orders';
+import BuildGrid from '../components/BuildGrid';
+import DefenceGrid from '../components/DefenceGrid';
+import TargetRow from '../components/TargetRow';
+import SoftWarnPanel from '../components/SoftWarnPanel';

+export default function Planning({ state, dispatch }: ScreenProps) {

+  const activeId = state.activeHumanTurn ?? 'player1';
+  const player = game.leaders[activeId];
+
+  const aiLeaders = game.cast.filter((id) => !isHuman(id) && game.leaders[id].alive);
+
+  const [orders, setOrders] = useState<Order[]>([]);
+  const [targetTypes, setTargetTypes] = useState<Partial<Record<LeaderId, TargetType>>>({});
+
+  const apUsed = totalApCost(orders);
+  const apTotal = player.ap;
+  const apRemaining = Math.max(0, apTotal - apUsed);
+  const overBudget = apUsed > apTotal;
+
+  const projection = projectInventory(player, orders);
+  const softWarnings = analyseOrderSequence(game, activeId, orders);
+
+  const moodByLeader: Partial<Record<LeaderId, string>> = {};
+  for (const e of state.events) {
+    if (e.kind === 'PreRoundMood') moodByLeader[e.leaderId] = e.quote;
+  }
+
+  return (
+    <div className={styles.planning}>
+      <header className={styles.header}>
+        Round {game.round}{state.activeHumanTurn ? ` · ${player.name}` : ''}
+      </header>

+      <div className={styles.apBanner}>
+        <span>AP used: {apUsed} / {apTotal}</span>
+        <span>{apRemaining} left</span>
+      </div>
+
+      <SoftWarnPanel warnings={softWarnings} game={game} />

+      <div className={styles.sectionTitle}>Build</div>

+        projectedAaInStockpile={projection.aaInStockpile}
+      />
+
+      <div className={styles.sectionTitle}>Actions by target</div>
+      {aiLeaders.map((id) => (
+        <TargetRow
+          key={id}
+          target={game.leaders[id]}
+          mood={moodByLeader[id]}
+          targetType={targetTypes[id] ?? 'people'}
+          onTargetTypeChange={(next) => setTargetTypes((prev) => ({ ...prev, [id]: next }))}
+          orders={orders}
+          setOrders={setOrders}
+          apRemaining={apRemaining}

+
+      <button
+        type="button"
+        className={styles.sealBtn}
+        disabled={overBudget}
+        onClick={() => dispatch({ type: 'PLAYER_SUBMIT', leaderId: activeId, orders })}
+      >Seal Orders</button>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+(Hold-to-seal CSS-transition gesture from P3 — keep that mechanic if it survives the rewrite, or simplify to button-click for now and add hold-to-seal in a separate polish commit. Recommend simplify here; the gesture lives in the SealBar component logic.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update `Planning.module.css`**
+
+Replace with:
+
+```css
+.planning {
+  max-width: 480px;
+  margin: 0 auto;
+  padding: 12px;
+  font-size: 12px;
+}
+
+.header { font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 8px; }
+
+.apBanner {
+  background: #198754; color: white; padding: 6px 12px; border-radius: 4px;
+  margin-bottom: 12px; font-size: 12px; display: flex; justify-content: space-between;
+}
+
+.sectionTitle {
+  font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase;
+  color: #856404; font-weight: 700; margin: 10px 0 4px;
+}
+
+.sealBtn {
+  background: #b02a37; color: white; border: none; border-radius: 24px;
+  padding: 14px 28px; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; width: 100%; margin-top: 16px;
+  cursor: pointer;
+}
+.sealBtn:disabled { background: #adb5bd; cursor: not-allowed; }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run Planning test**
+
+```bash
+npm run test:run -- tests/ui/Planning.actionGrid.test.tsx
+```
+
+Expected: PASS (5 tests).
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run full suite**
+
+```bash
+npm run test:run
+```
+
+Expected: most tests PASS. Failures:
+- `tests/ui/OrderForm.test.tsx` — will fail because `OrderForm` is referenced but no longer used.
+- Any `Planning.softwarn.test.tsx` from P4a may need to update its selectors (the old order-row + warn highlight is gone; the panel still exists but in a new position).
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Delete OrderForm and LeaderCard**
+
+```bash
+git rm src/ui/components/OrderForm.tsx src/ui/components/OrderForm.module.css tests/ui/OrderForm.test.tsx
+git rm src/ui/components/LeaderCard.tsx src/ui/components/LeaderCard.module.css
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Update P4a's `Planning.softwarn.test.tsx`**
+
+Read the existing test. It almost certainly uses `getByLabelText(/order kind/i)` and `getByText(/no delivery/i)` patterns. Update it to use the new BuildGrid path:
+
+Replace any `fireEvent.change(screen.getByLabelText(/order kind/i), { target: { value: 'build-warhead' } })` pattern with finding the warhead build cell + clicking its `+`:
+
+```tsx
+// Click the + on the small-warhead cell (the cell labelled "Sm Warhead")
+const smWarheadCell = screen.getByText(/Sm Warhead/i).closest('[class*="cell"]');
+const plus = smWarheadCell?.querySelector('button:last-child') as HTMLButtonElement;
+fireEvent.click(plus);
+```
+
+(or expose a `data-testid` from BuildGrid to make this less fiddly — recommended.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Run full suite again**
+
+```bash
+npm run test:run
+npm run typecheck
+```
+
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 10: Add TargetRow tests**
+
+Create `tests/ui/Planning.targetRow.test.tsx`:
+
+```tsx
+import { describe, expect, it, vi } from 'vitest';
+import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react';
+import Planning from '../../src/ui/screens/Planning';
+import { initialState } from '../../src/engine/state';
+import type { UiState } from '../../src/ui/store';
+
+function makeStateWithMood(): UiState {
+  const game = initialState({
+    cast: ['player1', 'chump'],
+    difficulty: 'normal',
+    seed: 'target-row-test',

+  game.leaders.player1.ap = 10;
+  return {
+    screen: 'planning',
+    game,
+    events: [

+    prevPopulations: {},
+    initialPopulations: {},
+    lastNewGameOpts: null,
+    activeHumanTurn: 'player1',
+    pendingHumanOrders: {},
+  };

+
+describe('<TargetRow>', () => {
+  it('renders mood quote when PreRoundMood event present for that leader', () => {

+
+  it('woo button toggles on/off (single tap pattern)', () => {

+    const wooBtn = screen.getByRole('button', { name: /Woo/i });

+    // After click, the button should have an "on" affordance — test via class containing 'on'

+## Task 14: README Phase 4b status
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `README.md`
+
+**Confidence: 98 %**
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Append the Phase 4b section**
+
+Edit `README.md`. After the existing `## Phase 4a status` section, append:
+
+```markdown
+## Phase 4b status
+
+Phase 4b (Balance & Planning Rework) doubles the AP economy, makes defences consumable (build + deploy = 8 AP all-in), rewrites the Planning screen as an action-card grid, and simplifies woo/propaganda to flat 1-AP toggles. Verification: `npm run test:run` (~251 tests).
+
+What's in this phase:
+
+- **AP economy doubled** — startAp ×2 for every leader; FACTORY_AP_RATE 0.5 → 1.0; AP_BANK_CAP 2 → 4. ACTION_COSTS unchanged (math-equivalent to halving costs, no fractions).
+- **Consumable defences** — new `deploy-defence` order kind. Build 4 AP adds to stockpile; deploy 4 AP moves stockpile → round-scoped deployed pool. `interceptProbability` reads the deployed pool. Deployed pool clears at round end regardless of intercept (deploy = commit).
+- **Planning UI rewrite** — replaces the order-kind dropdown + queue list with `<BuildGrid>` + `<DefenceGrid>` + `<TargetRow>` (one per opponent). Each cell has a +/- stepper bound to a count of that order kind. Per-target rows show 6 launch combos (3 yields × 2 deliveries), each with projected warhead inventory.
+- **Woo + Propaganda flat toggles** — both 1 AP, one per target per round. Dropped the points dimension on woo.
+
+What's NOT in this phase (deferred to P4c / P5):
+
+- AI scoring-weight balance pass against the new rules baseline — P4c (was P4b)
+- Approach B / C lookahead upgrades — P4c
+- Threat-aware defence deployment per personality — P4c
+- Persistence, animations, audio, SVG art, PWA — P5
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run full suite + typecheck**
+
+```bash
+npm run typecheck
+npm run test:run
+```
+
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add README.md
+git commit -m "docs: Phase 4b status note in README"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Self-review checklist (controller runs before handoff)
+
+1. **Spec coverage:**
+   - §2.1 AP economy → Task 1
+   - §2.2 Consumable defences → Tasks 1 (schema) + 3 (builds) + 4 (intercept) + 5 (round-end clear)
+   - §2.3 Planning UI → Tasks 8 (projection) + 9 (BuildGrid) + 10 (DefenceGrid) + 11 (LaunchCell) + 12 (TargetRow) + 13 (Planning)
+   - §2.4 Woo + Propaganda flat → Task 2 (validation) + Task 6 (AI emissions)
+   - §4 engine schema → Task 1 (types) + Task 2 (orders) + Task 3 (builds) + Task 4 (launches) + Task 5 (resolution)
+   - §5 UI changes → Tasks 7–13
+   - §6 AI personalities → Task 6
+   - §7 testing — every new test file listed has its task
+   - §8 assumptions — captured in plan structure
+
+2. **Placeholder scan:** none found.
+
+3. **Type consistency:**
+   - `Order` discriminated union grows consistently (Task 1 ships the type; Tasks 2/3/4/8/etc. consume it).
+   - `ProjectedInventory` shape defined in Task 8, consumed by Tasks 9/10/11/12/13.
+   - `ACTION_COSTS.woo` (flat) introduced in Task 1, consumed in Task 2 and Task 12.

Subject: [PATCH 06/24] engine: launches.ts intercept reads deployed pool;
 intercept decrements deployed

- applyLaunches reads deployedShields/deployedAA (not stockpile) for intercept
- successful intercept decrements the deployed pool (Math.max(0, n-1) guard)
- interceptProbability: guard for defenders<=0 returns 0 (no deployed = no intercept)
- update combat/launches/finalRetaliation tests to use deployedShields semantics

Subject: [PATCH 07/24] engine: clear deployed pool at round end; emit
 DefenceConsumed events

At end of each resolveRound, iterate cast and zero out deployedShields/deployedAA,
emitting a DefenceConsumed event for each non-zero pool (deploy = commit semantics).
Mileigh-hem aggression bonus already correctly excludes deploy-defence orders.

Replace the OrderForm/LeaderCard-based Planning screen with the new
action-card grid layout using BuildGrid, DefenceGrid, and TargetRow.
Seal Orders is a plain click button (hold-to-seal removed as per plan).
Delete OrderForm.tsx/.module.css/.test and LeaderCard.tsx/.module.css.
Update Planning.softwarn.test to drive soft-warn via BuildGrid stepper.
Add Planning.actionGrid.test (5 tests) and Planning.targetRow.test (2).

+
+## Phase 4b status
+
+Phase 4b (Balance & Planning Rework) doubles the AP economy, makes defences consumable (build + deploy = 8 AP all-in), rewrites the Planning screen as an action-card grid, and simplifies woo/propaganda to flat 1-AP toggles. Verification: `npm run test:run` (246 tests).
+
+What's in this phase:
+
+- **AP economy doubled** — startAp ×2 for every leader; FACTORY_AP_RATE 0.5 → 1.0; AP_BANK_CAP 2 → 4. ACTION_COSTS unchanged (math-equivalent to halving costs, no fractions).
+- **Consumable defences** — new `deploy-defence` order kind. Build 4 AP adds to stockpile; deploy 4 AP moves stockpile → round-scoped deployed pool. `interceptProbability` reads the deployed pool. Deployed pool clears at round end regardless of intercept (deploy = commit).
+- **Planning UI rewrite** — replaces the order-kind dropdown + queue list with `<BuildGrid>` + `<DefenceGrid>` + `<TargetRow>` (one per opponent). Each cell has a +/- stepper bound to a count of that order kind. Per-target rows show 6 launch combos (3 yields × 2 deliveries), each with projected warhead inventory. Mood quote renders under each target's name.
+- **Woo + Propaganda flat toggles** — both 1 AP, one per target per round. Dropped the points dimension on woo.
+
+What's NOT in this phase (deferred to P4c / P5):
+
+- AI scoring-weight balance pass against the new rules baseline — P4c (was P4b)
+- Approach B / C lookahead upgrades — P4c
+- Threat-aware defence deployment per personality — P4c
+- Persistence, animations, audio, SVG art, PWA — P5
