Phase 32 (Theme Deep Work) finished its back half

What changed

four Gate-2 theme-defining mechanics shipped back to back. Control's TURNABOUT banks a per-combat rungsDeniedTotal ledger (accrued wherever BACKFIRE already reads its drip basis) and cashes the whole thing as one burst, replacing paralysis-of-analysis in its exact 70-card library seat. Oratory's milestone drip grants STAGGER rungs every PREMISE_MILESTONE_EVERY premises crossed, universal across every Premise source (own-card, borrowed FREE rider, or a future cross-theme grant). Forge's OVERHEAT lets a Reserve die already at its safe pip cap push further for OVERHEAT_BUST_CHANCE (35%) risk per pip, up to OVERHEAT_PIP_CEILING; a bust halves the die's pips instead of zeroing them, and half-step (the theme's most-played common) now carries the mechanic. Oracle's OMEN v2 kills the "always predicts HEART" complaint at the API level — a player now stakes a stance + window claim (play.omenClaim) with anteConviction paid up front, instead of a silent die-derived guess; a bolder (narrower) claim pays and costs more.

What changed

a full pass over every combat effect payload for correct behavior and timing under the Hazard-Pattern engine turned up real bugs left over from the "THE STRIKE IS DEAD" redesign. Antidote and clarity-serum applied buff_cleanse, an empty duration-0 effect — items advertising "purges venoms" did nothing; buff_cleanse now carries a real payload.cleanse and routes through removeEffectsByType. Grace Momentum's payload used an undeclared field read only via a local cast — the working field is now declared on EffectPayload and the cast is gone. Separately, buff_haste (and its re-themed siblings) granted guaranteed stance advantage but clampPlayerRead never checked for it — the buff was cosmetic; it now actually grants the read. Two DoT-timing suspects were ratified as correct rather than changed.

What changed

root-caused yesterday's [2.4] AUDIT finding: GitHub only honors a commit's Closes #N trailer for pushes made directly to main, not for cross-session claude/* branches reconciled via merge — even when the trailer is present (Phase 32 Part 1's 7392573c had one and #83 still never closed). Closed the 9 confirmed-stale phase mirrors (#22, #25, #36, #47, #52, #54, #65, #69, #74) by hand, then queued Phase 35 to make ship-a-phase Step 12.5 close the issue idempotently via the GitHub API (state=closed) instead of trusting the trailer, keeping the trailer as belt-and-suspenders.

What changed

the Cards catalog previously showed a bare painting plus a list of stat chips and rules text. It now renders the actual in-game card face — art window with stance tint, stance orb + category glyph, name band, the ◇ FREE / ◆ DIE split rail, printed die line, and type strip — produced by the game's own faceStats presenter (the exact VM the combat board renders), so the catalog face can never drift from what a player sees on the board.
