A steady theme-deep-work day

What changed

three Gate-2 theme slices shipped back to back. Harvest: reap_all now erodes the enemy's max HP by the same burst it already deals as current-HP damage, and the small reap verb gains a new cost-derived erosion of its own (previously zero current-HP damage) — both additive, so the shipped win-rate curve needed no re-tune. Bulwark: RIPOSTE's counter is now max(printed damage, prevented-blow size) scaled by the enemy's damage-taken multiplier, so blocking a bigger threat pays a bigger counter instead of a flat number. Akrasia: a new per-combat DEBT ledger tracks blood paid via RECOIL only (both FREE-line and PAID paths, plus fate.recoilHp); every 6 HP of debt pays 1 GUARD back while FALLEN.

What changed

reaching an enemy's SWAY resolve threshold no longer ends the fight automatically — it opens an explicit ACCEPT / CONTINUE choice (wired into both the CLI's interactive and auto loops), matching how the mercy/exploit choice already works. buildCombatSummary's attribution now folds in any enemy healing the log recorded before computing direct-damage share, so the post-fight receipt can't silently overstate DoT's cut. Keyword atlas, spec-32 card-library text, and the card editor's SWAY blurb were all reworded to describe the choice instead of the old auto-CAPITULATE language.

What changed

COMBAT_HAND_SIZE dropped 6→5, and the round boundary no longer discards the hand and draws fresh — unplayed cards are kept and the hand refills up to target, so holding a dead card now costs real draw room until it's played or scrapped. Bonus-draw riders raise the refill target instead of riding a full redraw; the WS2.1 one-use law is unchanged (an unplayed CONJURED Thoughtform still evaporates at the boundary). A new regression test witnesses the boundary directly: held uids survive, and the refill draws exactly the gap back up to 5.

What changed

finished the Charm-theme card-face wording pass — Grace preset cards and the remaining Charm-library cards now read consistently with the rest of the 2026-07-12/13 clarity audit. Alongside it, plan/tuning/preset-rework-status.md now classifies all ten shipped presets into audited / player-audited / planned / untouched, with a standing queue rule: one preset gets one active rework plan at a time (Grace is it; Oratory's historical baseline must be reproduced before any new plan starts there).
