- The gore bed is "Dystopian Survival", made loopable: the last ten
seconds cross-faded into the first ten, 203.5 s, as MP3 at 128k (the
decoder strips the encoder's delay, so the seam has no gap). High-pass
at 40 Hz instead of 800, level matched to the menu theme.
- The prologue no longer drops into gore for a moment: after the turn,
act I's card and cup take over directly.
- RESET STORY under the build stamp (two taps; test only). It resets
the story, league, cups and title, keeps the level, and pushes at once
so the mirror cannot hand the old act back.
- The story screens have sound: a whoosh and a boom for the act card,
applause and the rack's own click as each weapon lands, applause and
a pock per arcade door on the act's end.
- Chapters are six games: mid-boss after three, the horde after four,
the act boss after six.

config.GORE_BED names the track that plays while the dead are being
killed (gore and every story chapter, from the transformation's
run-off on) and its loop length and level. When Oliver has the metal
track, it goes into assets/audio and these three values change; nothing
else does. v383, staging only.

- From the third attempt at a checkpoint, the death screen offers TRY
AGAIN · WITH HELP, at most two tiers, said openly. In the cup the help
is fresher legs and a longer swing; in gore, one more heart and a
slower director and horde. Every checkpoint passed resets the offer.
- The arcade shows only what the story has opened. Training and Classic
open after act I, the Climb after II, Splatter Gore after III, and
hosting a friend after IV (joining stays free). Locked doors are shown
greyed with the act that opens them.
- The non-story endings point at the story instead of the cup.
- Store switches for the free tier (act I's card points at the full
game) and a premium arcade, both off.
- The prologue's HUD no longer overlaps the kill pips.
PROJECT.md logs phases 1-4. One new test. v382, staging only.

Three animated screens in the storyboard's look, built in the page over
a paused world:
- The act title card: the act's court pans in behind ACT n, its league,
its court and its goal; it closes itself after three seconds or on a
tap.
- The cup's ceremony: YOU CLEARED THE COURT, the rounds and the run's
xp, then the act's weapons drop into a rack one by one ("…and gained
these for the hordes to come"), and the chapter preview with the
mid-boss named and game 10 still "???" until the transformation.
- The act card: what the act cost (bodies, bosses, deaths), what it
opened in the arcade, and the next act's court; CONTINUE goes straight
on, THE CLUBHOUSE goes home.
The checkpoint keeps its in-game banner. Headless, every screen falls
back to the plain card it replaced. v381, staging only.

At match point of an act's cup final the beaten finalist does not fall.
The ceremony lands (the loot, still a plain card), then the applause is
cut, the camera closes in, and on the turn he bursts and the act's boss
stands where he stood, growing into the frame with his name and
"GAME 10". He runs out of the picture to the left while the stands empty
onto the court, and game 1 of the chapter begins without a cut: the
crowd that came down is its first wave. The interlude holds serving,
spawns and the boss's AI through the scene.
The prologue is one game of tennis against a living opponent with the
old transformation exactly as written; when it hands over, act I's cup
takes the court. Two new tests. v380, staging only.

The front door now continues the story. An act is its league cup, whose
final is the boss's own body (acts II and IV play their band out of
ladder order for that), then a ten-game gore chapter on the act's court.
The chapter has no duel at all, takes the act's weapon stock into the
rack, meets a mid-boss after game 5 (the checkpoint: restock and full
blood) and the act boss after game 10, then the act card. Death is not
permadeath: it counts the attempt, banks nothing on the boards, and
TRY AGAIN restarts from the checkpoint the profile holds. Barrels hold
what the act has earned. The chapter plays the arcade's games
base+1..base+10 so every director curve keeps its slope.
Profiles from before the story start it from the top (league, cups and
champion reset; level kept). The server mirror stores the act and
checkpoint and only ever moves them forward.
Plain cards stand in for the screens (phase 3) and the transformation
(phase 2). Six new tests.

Oliver on v376: "wenn man doppeltippt, geht er minimal vor". His own
ball's flight covered 4-9 m of the 10 to the net. His next ball was met
from mid-court, outside the net zone, and the recovery after that volley
walked him straight back to the baseline.
The double tap now sets a stance (P.post) that lasts until the next
double tap, a lob he has to run down, or the end of the point. Every
recovery heads for the net at full pace, and every incoming ball is
planned as a net man's. The 'back' stance clears once he is behind the
net zone, so short balls still pull him in.
Measured: contacts while committed are ~35% at the net and ~40% around
the service line, and he no longer falls back. The base ladder is
unchanged. New test; v377.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Oliver: "das Vorlaufen und Zurücklaufen sollte durch einen Doppeltipp
ausgelöst werden". It replaces v374's flick-length rule: the long
up-flick is only the deep ball again, the long down-flick only the lob.
While his own ball flies there is nothing to hit, so a tap there is not
a swing. Two inside 0.35 s take him in to the net from the back, or back
from the net. "TO THE NET" or "BACK" pops under him. An incoming ball
keeps every tap a swing, so the two meanings never share a moment. After
his own serve it is serve and volley. The short-ball approach stays
automatic.
Measured: the base ladder is unchanged, and following the ball in still
pays against pushers and costs against big hitters. Three tests replace
v374's two; v376.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Oliver: "wenn der Autoplay den Ball versucht zu bekommen, zittert der
Player schnell hin und her". Measured: the run's target flipped by
metres every other frame. intercept samples the flight every 10 ms
against a 16.7 ms frame, so any candidate on a margin (a low bounce
peaking on the 0.45 m floor, a point on the back boundary, a dying drop)
passed one frame and failed the next. Frames with no candidate sent him
home and back. 9-62 reversals inside 200 ms per five minutes.
The chase now latches its plan: the flight is fixed at the strike, so
the first point stays the answer while his legs still make it in time,
net of any time he stood (split-step, heels). Reach is judged from where
the chase began, and the target eases with a start/stop hysteresis.
After: no reversals at any rung, timing unchanged. He wastes no steps,
so he is a little stronger, mostly at the bottom of the ladder. New
test; v375.

Oliver: "Steuerung ans Netz gehen", option (1), and "einen Lob vom Gegner
als Volley annehmen soll derb schmettern".
- A long up-flick (90 px or more) is the attack: the deep ball, and he
follows it in. A long down-flick is the lob, and he goes back behind
it. Short flicks keep the deep ball / the drop and leave him where he
is. Length only, never context.
- The net costs him what it costs the CPU: he split-steps (netReact)
before reading the pass, and a CPU facing a net man passes at the
line. Without both, the attacker won 78-95% of his net points.
- The smash: a ball taken out of the air at 1.9-2.5 m is struck harder
and to the open court, read late by the opponent, and pops "SMASH!".
It wins ~80% of its points.
- Lobbed at the net, he decides once whether he can get under it. If he
can, he smashes. If not, he runs it down and only blocks it back, even
if he meets it in the air. Re-deciding every frame smashed every lob.
Measured at level 26: the base ladder is unchanged. Attacking pays
against pushers and touch players and costs against big hitters,
slicers and rushers. Three new tests; v374.

Step 4 (b), Oliver's pick. v372 measured why the ladder could not climb:
nearly every lost point was the player's own early whiff, the CPU barely
missed, and the auto-run reached everything, so no opponent dial decided
a point.
- The follow-through: a groundstroke swing meets a bounced ball up to
60 ms after its window at q 0.05. The early whiff edge goes from ~70 ms
back to ~130 ms, where the volley window had it before step 1.
- A sitter (a player ball under q 0.5) is put away with a chance that is
the ladder (0.2 at the bottom of the Climb, 0.85 at the Champion, by
difficulty in classic): clean, at the line, bounded by the rung's width.
- The player is on his heels for 0.5 s after a put-away of his own sitter.
Without it the auto-run covered the whole court and no put-away won.
- Fixed a step-2 regression this surfaced: the drop's dig-out cap fired on
every slice drive, so every low contact against the slicer was a sitter.
Measured at level 26: the Climb now slopes from 95% of points at the
Shambler to 28-39% at the Champion. The net rushers are still easier than
their neighbours. The log names put-aways. Three new tests; v373.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Oliver on v371: the praise word is cut off on the left on the iPhone. It
is centred under the player's feet, so out wide it ran past the edge;
every pop is now clamped to the canvas by its measured width.
Step 4, measured first. The rally sim gets a human bot (taps on the timed
ring with a timing spread), a Climb mode and a lost-point breakdown. At
level 26 the ladder falls over six rungs and then goes flat: nearly every
lost point is the player's own early whiff, the CPU barely ever misses,
and the auto-run reaches everything, so no opponent dial decides points.
A quality ramp, a follow-through and CPU put-aways were each measured
and reverted; the options go to Oliver in PROJECT.md.
Shipped: in the rally modes q no longer drops from 1 to 0.43 one ms past
PERFECT; it falls smoothly to the window's edge (TUNE.qSeamless). A tap
30 ms early is q 0.86 instead of 0.61. Same window, same whiff edge. v372.

Oliver: the target ring twitches sometimes, and "shot of the day",
"textbook" etc. cover the ball. The timed ring re-solved every frame and a
small shift in the auto-run's target moved its moment by up to 158 ms in a
frame; the drawn cue now counts down on its own clock and eases toward
each solve (p99 jump 100 -> 17 ms). The rally's praise word rose straight
into the struck ball's path (and a serve's sat on the far bounce, where the
return comes back); it now lands under the player, behind his feet, and
stays put. Same moment, out of the way. v371.

Oliver's v369 log ("vieeel besser") showed two misses with the auto-run
heading to x 6.5 and 8.7, far outside the frame he is held in. Since the
dip ends at the bounce, a hard cross-court topspin ball drifts sideways
long enough that its comfort point lies off the court; intercept had no
lateral bound, and its last-resort target was never checked at all
(headless: x 14.8). Candidates now respect xLimit — a kicking ball is
taken earlier, on the rise — and the final target is clamped. v370.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A shot's extra gravity is its dive in flight, but it was carried through
the bounce: heavy topspin skidded away low and Oliver met nearly every
ball 0-25 cm off the grass. After its bounce a ball now falls under plain
gravity (tennis modes only), and every planner that rolls a bounce
forward switches at the same moment. The higher bounces pushed the
auto-run into volleys, so it now takes a kicking ball at the top of its
bounce, up to chest height. Median contact rises from 0.42 to 1.13 m at
the bottom of the ladder. v369.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Oliver's v367 log: every 62-64 ms flick landed 76-92 ms early and a 97 ms
one whiffed — v366's touch-down timing for flicks was wrong; a flick is
timed by its swipe (flickLead now 0, the age is still logged). The
early-swing half-volley rescue checked the bounce against the long volley
window and then expired on the bounce frame; it now uses the shorter
groundstroke window. The log also records where he stood when the
opponent struck and where the auto-run was taking him on a miss. v368.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Oliver's v366 log: a LOST "passed you" with no swing. The match gave the
CPU the point the moment its ball crossed 0.3 m behind the baseline — a
line from when the player stood inside it. Since step 1 he waits up to
2.2 m behind the line for deep balls, and a ball going by ~1.5 m beside
him only enters his reach just in front of him, so the point was called
before it was ever playable. In the match "past you" now means past his
reach. The swing log's hits also say whether the timing was early or
late. v367.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
From Oliver's first swing log (cup vs the Brute): 13 of 22 hits were
perfect, 9 badly early or late — mostly forward-right flicks — and the
weak balls became seven "passed you". Every hit was a flick, and flicks
still swung only at the flickMin crossing while the timed ring says "touch
now": they are now timed from touch-down too (capped at flickLead 0.1 s).
The log gains its other half: a THEM line per opponent shot (kind, pace,
where it lands relative to you, coming in) and "never swung" judged per
incoming ball instead of once a point. And an early swing on a low ball
digs it out as a capped half-volley instead of whiffing. v366.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Oliver wants to hand over a log of why he missed balls. It existed behind
a scoreboard tap but was gated on G.mode === 'tennis', so the Climb, the
cup and training (which run as 'splatter') logged nothing. It now writes
in every rally mode: hits with shot, tap age and any quality cap, misses
with the new let-it-bounce reason, and a WON/LOST line naming why each
point went. Tapping the open log copies all 200 entries with a header.
Its first catch: the gold ring went gold at a distance, which is too
early for the slow balls steps 1-3 brought in. It is now timed off the
ball's real path to his reach (against where his run is taking him):
gold means touch now. ringTime 0 restores the old ring. v365.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Step 2 of the rally rework: eight styles as dials on the opponent rows —
pusher, retriever, slicer, big hitter, baseliner, touch, net rusher,
all-court — read where the CPU chooses its shot (moonball, drop, lob,
spin), plans its approach and serves (serve and volley sprints in). The
walk-on names the style in one line so the player can plan against it.
A player lobbed at the net now backpedals and blocks, like the CPU.
Oliver on v363: the down-flick "always felt like a lob". The length is read
at contact and a thumb has usually travelled on; on the continuum even
50 px floated the ball. Below dropMax (90 px) it is now the drop, above it
the lob. Also un-flakes the machine-squeak test (seed 31337). v364.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Step 3 of the rally rework, Oliver's pick: in rally modes the down-flick
is soft, always, and its length is how far — a dying drop just over the
net at one end, an attacking lob over a net man at the other. One gesture,
one meaning; not the context-armed lob that was cut.
Ballistics from the cut lob (pace derived from the apex); backspin lives
on ball.spin and every bounce planner reads it, netplay sends it. Against
the CPU it was returned ~100% until the real-tennis reasons went in: soft
balls are read late (disguise), a net man reacts to a pass and backpedals
from a lob, and a lobbed or dug-out reply is a weak block. Four new tests;
v363.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Oliver after step 1: much harder, stuck at the Steward, "trotz gutem
Timing nicht mehr bekommen". A tap only proves it is a tap when the
finger lifts, so the swing started 100-150 ms after he meant it; the old
volley window hid that, step 1's groundstrokes did not. A tap made on the
gold ring fell from q 0.82 to 0.09 (and a third were missed at 150 ms),
murky balls landed short and the opponent came in. The swing clock now
starts at the touch's age (rally modes only); flicks keep their crossing.
The opponents' legs had no ceiling: 7.3 m/s at the Runner, 15.7 at the
Champion against the player's ~6.2. Past legKnee (6 m/s) only 15% of the
growth survives, monotone, so the ladder order holds; champion ~7.5. v362.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every match had collapsed into serve, both at the net, reflex volleys at
~0.7 s per shot. The rally ball landed on the service line by definition,
the match CPU stood on the bounce and volleyed 90-100% of everything, and
the auto-run chased the earliest contact.
Rally modes only (classic + every match; gore and the duel untouched):
rally balls land deep and mistiming only shortens them (no new long outs);
each shot latches the receiver's plan as it leaves the racket — from the
back he lets it bounce and meets it falling, up to 2.2 m behind the line,
a short ball pulls him in and he follows it to the net, nobody approaches
a man already there, and a volley below the tape is a weak block. Measured:
contacts 10.5-13.7 m from the net, back-court volleys 0-8%, 0.8-1.0 s per
baseline shot. Three new tests pin the shape; v361.

All four synthesized in audio.js like every other weapon: a squeaking
castor, a court-wide crackle clock plus a throttled catch, a real gun
crack, and one shared boss voice (stomp per stride, wind-up breath,
bark, pain, death roar) pitched by body size. Closes OPEN 13 pending
the phone verdict. v355.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two netplay-only finds from Oliver's two-phone session.
THE FRIEND'S STRIKE was silent: every other opponent is simulated locally
and cracks through gameplay's shared return path, but the friend's swing
runs on their phone alone and arrives as a 'shot' message that wrote the
ball and nothing else. netApplyShot now plays the same sample at the same
volume, pitched off the pace that was actually sent (strikeRate, read after
the ball is written). Both netplay modes, not just the death match.
THE REMATCH: the summary's only netplay door was THE CLUBHOUSE, so playing
the same friend again meant two trips through the lobby and a fresh code.
The relay cannot re-pair, so the rematch is the socket that is still open —
one 'again' frame and both phones reset the run under the decisions the room
already carries (same side, same mode, same court, host serves). netAgain
keeps G.net across restartRun(true) and replays netFresh, netStart's own
tail split out so pairing and rematch cannot drift into two courts. Applied,
never echoed; a 2 s window swallows the second frame when both tap at once;
a dead line refuses and falls through to the clubhouse.
Also: the dev server runs with SPLAT_AUTH= (server.py always said local dev
should), which the shared password had been 401-ing. audio.sfxTest is a new
test seam in netTest's shape. 146 tests.

The GET filter spelled its modes out as a literal `[^gzc]` character class, so
`?m=u` sanitised to nothing, fell back to 'g', and the server answered the cup
board's request with the gore board — which the client then printed in the cup
board's words: 7121 kills as LEAGUE 7121. The filter is derived from MODES now,
where the mode list has lived all along.
And the client checks the answer it got: the response names the board it is,
so a server that does not know a board (an old one, mid-deploy) makes the
screen say THIS BOARD IS NOT UP YET instead of mislabelling another board's
rows. Nothing beats something wrong on a leaderboard.

A record never set reads as a dash — "BEST GORE RUN 0" looks like a bad run
when what it means is that there has not been one. The weapon tiles name their
weapon: six unlabelled silhouettes was a guessing game about which one is the
flamer.
The doubled border was the row rule firing inside the grid: `.fig + .fig` gave
cell three a left border hard against the container's own. It is scoped to
single-row figure strips now, and the two-up grid draws its own seams. Less
padding inside the box, air above it.

A chimney of rising embers on a trophy read as a fire. Three points ON the
shield now, dark for most of a long cycle and flaring for a fraction of it,

They were running the whole time (0.85 opacity, measured) — they were just
flying ACROSS the artwork, where a 3px gold speck disappears into a pixel
shield. They lift off the top edge into the dark above it now, seven per badge
on a shorter delay window: spread over 2.6s the shield stood empty half the
time, which is what "ich sehe kein glimmen" was looking at.

Oliver wanted to rank the level a league was taken at. The challenge held: xp
comes only from playing, so a board that rewards a low level rewards not
playing — it would pay you to avoid the three rooms the season leans on. It
also inverts every other number in the game, freezes after five entries, and
makes the player who played more look worse.
So the league ranks and the level decides between everyone who got equally far,
where "lower is better" reads naturally. BOARDS.u carries subLow; server
rank_key is the other half, and the same key decides whether a submission beats
the row already standing. The level is written once at the promotion — before
the league moves, because it is the level that WON the cup — mirrored like the
rest of the profile, and inscribed under the shield it belongs to. Earned
shields smoulder while they are on screen: five CSS embers each, no loop.

Three mode tabs times three period tabs, and the same three boxes meant
something different in every one — Oliver had no idea what he was looking at,
which is the correct reaction to a screen with nine states. It is one screen
now: bodies felled, best gore run, deepest climb, runs. Never anything else.
MULTI-KILLS retired (a vanity number on no board) and DEATHS with it (every run
ends in one, so it was RUNS again). The period filter went too: LAST RUN is the
summary you just tapped away, and 7 DAYS is a fitness metric in a permadeath
game. The card stops repeating the ledger and keeps the CAREER instead —
league, cups won, best cup.
The world board drops CLASSIC: that mode is out of competition by its own
room's rule now, so ranking it contradicted the wall. A classic best no longer
opens the name prompt either — it would have had nowhere to go.

It was the last place still breaking the wizard's own rule — a question screen

LAST remembered what you played last time, which a gallery of six posters does

Sixty words on the wall became a dozen. The handoff's own summary of the rule:
Jersey 15 NAMES (screen titles, rooms, cards), Bangers CALLS exactly once per
screen (the fixture, the primary button, a modal headline), Silkscreen INFORMS
(numbers, labels, chips) — and a sentence survives only where it carries a
decision. Everything else moved into a bar, a pip or the modal that opens with
the mode.
· Jersey 15 bundled subset (9 KB) and Bungee retired after one afternoon
· SPLASH: the plaque is one row, the goal line is gone (the fixture button
below said it already), the two doors carry a number each
· PICK A GAME: rooms are one word, posters are their names, the fixture is a
hero with the only second line — the whole wall fits one screen now
· MATCH SETUP: unnumbered blocks, the meters' legend once instead of a
description per court, no summary footer
· DIFFICULTY: three pips instead of three sentences
· TRAINING: the revanche is a full-width row, rungs are numbers, the list
ends on the league that opens the rest of the ladder
· VS: three paragraphs became YOU / HOST / JOIN
· MODALS: one rule per row (the sub was the lead again in other words), the
blood pool as pips on that same line, and the walk-on's two levels in ONE
face at ONE size — a comparison drawn at two sizes is a headline with a
footnote (Oliver)

The scrim used to be a hard linear-gradient riding in the button's own
background stack. It is a masked backdrop-blur now: nothing at all at its top
edge, a surface by the time it reaches the words. The art stays art where the
art is, the caption gets something to sit on, and no box edge appears anywhere.
Measured on this machine it costs 0.2ms a frame — the backdrop is static while

The entrance is no longer a one-off on the boot: dealStage re-arms the class at
the funnel every stage change already passes, so the title screen flies its
plaque and buttons in whenever you arrive at it. The sub-menus join in — their
header, content and footer arrive one after the other instead of the panel
dropping in as one slab — and the poster wall deals its three rooms rather than
its list, since a moving child inside a moving parent starts at twice the
offset and reads as a stutter.

Two things the phone found. The splash's loading state was applied by main.js —
but this is a module script, so the browser paints the markup, placeholders and
all, before it runs: LEVEL 1 stood there and then snapped to the real values.
The busy class ships in index.html now and main.js only takes it off; the
keyboard hints hide with it.
And #intro is the one scroller the menus share, so a scroll earned deep in the
stats screen outlived it: going back put the splash up scrolled, with its
buttons off screen. go() resets it, at the funnel every stage change passes.

"The draw" was tennis for the field of entrants, and nothing has been drawn
since the cup rounds went deterministic — Oliver had to ask what the button
meant, which settled it. Beside it, an unqualified PLAY AGAIN was an
instruction without a subject: both buttons read as "start something" and only
someone who remembered how the evening began could tell them apart. It carries
the mode now — GORE AGAIN, CLIMB AGAIN, CLASSIC AGAIN, TRAIN AGAIN.

A 100px label in a 120px half-button left ten pixels of air, which reads as a
squeezed chip. A tall screen has the room, so the two doors stack full width —
filled primary over ghost secondary, the same shape the modal footer and the
splash already use. A short landscape cannot stack, so there the box itself
grows to 344 and the halves come out comfortable instead.

Oliver's second pass over the new box language. The modal is narrower and the
button spans it; every row got real spacing and the footer its own margin, so
the end screens stop reading as cramped. The xp bar is taller and its ramp now
rides the FILL — spanning the gradient across the whole track meant an early
level only ever showed one flat green inch of it. An illustrated announcement
puts its two lines beside the picture, under the headline, instead of in a
boxed row below its own icon.
The poster wall's section headings leave the announcement face to the posters
(it read as a second card headline), drop the left band and the rule, and let
air do the grouping. On the splash, OTHER GAMES gets its gap to the stats row,
and the boot shows nothing but the court, the title and the loading bar — the
plaque skeleton was still a plaque telling a level-25 player he was level 1.

Oliver: the group headings were "sehr klein". Each group is a section now with
its posters inside it — the announcement face one size under the screen title,
a rule closing the header, and an inset band down the left. The canonical room
wears the primary's colour, because it is the one that moves your career.

The tournament is the canonical path, so the game finally says so. The splash's
primary button names the next cup fixture and enters the draw; the poster wall
moved one tap down and deals three named rooms (the season, the training, out of
competition) with the cup at the top. Two profile fields remember every attempt
— rounds ever reached per league, and the body that put you out — so a lost cup
is a line on the board instead of a null event, and the training court offers
that body first, marked. The promotion names what waits in the new league.
Overlays consolidated in the same pass: three modal drawers became one box with
a masthead, hairline-separated rows and a real footer button (any tap still
dismisses), and the run-end summary wears the same box — headline, xp, mark, and
the fixture with ENTER THE DRAW beside PLAY AGAIN. The cup's own exit is a
ceremony now: OUT IN THE QUARTER-FINAL, your best standing beside it.
