Triage failed the only test that matters — "i think the normal player does not grasp this" — and the lesson across four drill designs is that every invented rule needs teaching, while the rules the scene already implies need none. So the new mode is the game's own oldest rule: tennis. MATCH TEST in the back room (#match). One game per opponent, real 15/30/40 scoring. Built on top of the duel machinery: G.match runs a permanent interlude, which is already what makes serving tennis-like, hides the rack, quiets the spawn director and wakes racketAI. The one change is in resolveInterlude — a settled point feeds matchPoint instead of ending anything. About 90 lines for a whole mode, because the deepest system in the repo was already built. The score is the body: a quarter of its pool per point won, floored at 1, so a love game walks the racket zombie through every wound stage and the game point fells it. Its points draw your blood — hp--, eaten at zero, matchHeal 2 per game won is how you last. Regicide is inherited: kill the body mid-game and the game banks by hand. The timing is drawn, per Oliver's ask: an approach ring around the incoming ball that kisses a fixed inner ring exactly at the sweet contact distance (gold inside the band), and an apex band beside the toss spanning the same 0.12m keyPressed scores as perfect, with a tick riding the live ball. Both cues use the mechanics' own numbers, so the picture cannot lie. Verified by autopilot: 7 games in 90 simulated seconds, opponents 1..8, pools 4/6/8/10, wounds tracking points exactly. 36 tests, 15 seeds clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
