+# Chip Coverage Audit - 2026-05-07
+
+Branch target: `codex/chip-full-wire`, created from `codex/chip-art-shell-polish-v3` at `6340bbd`.
+
+Scope guard: this audit covers the clean recovery clone at `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD-clean-chip-recovery`. The messy checkout at `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD/` was not modified. No save schema, `SAVE_VERSION`, deterministic engine behavior, RNG, or deploy surface changes are recommended here.
+
+## Summary
+
+Chip is present in the cold open, the post-setup dock, weekly guidance, high-stakes pose events, game recap, halftime, press conference, era transition, and trophy room empty state. Coverage is broad, but the current 17-pose atlas forces several moments into generic `think`, `concern`, `mic-check`, `celebrate`, or `idle`.
+
+The best incremental path is to keep the v3 rig as the only art source, add a focused pose batch, then wire the new poses into the existing route-beat, eventBridge/useChipEvents, and direct feature-component surfaces where the new pose clearly reads better.
+
+## Surface Inventory
+
+| Surface | Files | Current state | Recommendation |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Cold-open onboarding host | `apps/web/src/features/companion/ChipHost.tsx`, `apps/web/src/features/franchise-setup/FranchiseSetupWizard.tsx`, `apps/web/src/features/companion/dialogue/onboarding.ts` | Wired. Uses `wave`, `point-left`, `talk`, `think`, `concern`, `point-right`, `mic-check`, `celebrate`, `idle`. | Keep the cold-open structure. Swap only the generic `talk`/`think`/`idle` beats where new admin or proud poses land harder. |
+| Onboarding reveal frames | `apps/web/src/features/companion/onboardingReveal.ts` | Wired. Uses `wave`, `mic-check`, and `idle` during entry/reveal. | Keep as-is unless the new final pose batch includes a clean `coffee-sip`/`proud` replacement for the final quiet state. |
+| Post-setup dock portrait | `apps/web/src/features/companion/ChipDock.tsx` | Wired. Portrait resolves store pose, route beat pose, or live beat pose. Collapsed sanity uses `idle`. | Keep architecture. Extend route-beat pose mapping so route guidance can use specific new poses without bypassing the dock. |
+| Dock pending-decision beat | `apps/web/src/features/companion/ChipDock.tsx` | Wired. `createPendingDecisionsBeat` uses route pose `thinking`, which resolves to `think`. | Change to a more urgent admin pose after the atlas lands, likely `reviewing-tablet` or `note-taking`. |
+| Dock Where Am I summary | `apps/web/src/features/companion/whereAmI.ts`, `apps/web/src/features/companion/ChipDock.tsx` | Wired. Uses route pose `thinking`. | Keep as `think` or move to `reviewing-tablet` if the generated tablet pose is visually clean. |
+| Weekly rollover dialogue bridge | `apps/web/src/features/companion/eventBridge.ts`, `apps/web/src/features/companion/useChipEvents.ts` | Wired for week rollover. `gameComplete` and `seasonEnd` remain intentionally deferred comments. | Keep week rollover. Do not invent broad season-end dialogue trees in this slice; document season-end as partial unless a narrow route/direct pose change covers it. |
+| High-stakes pose reactions | `apps/web/src/features/companion/PoseEventEmitter.tsx`, `apps/web/src/features/companion/eventBridge.ts` | Wired for touchdowns, first launch, cap overrun, big loss, playoff upset, trade rumor, user HOF retirement, decision locked in. | Replace generic outcomes with richer poses: touchdown/rally `rallying`, cap warning `head-in-hands` or `warning`, trade rumor `on-phone`, HOF retirement `head-in-hands`, decision lock `fist-bump` or `proud`. |
+| Weekly dialogue catalogue | `apps/web/src/features/companion/dialogue/weekly.ts`, `apps/web/src/features/companion/weeklyGuidance.ts` | Wired. Many variants collapse into `celebrate`, `concern`, or `mic-check`. | Swap clean wins/championship to `proud`, playoffs to `rallying`, blowout/dark moments to `head-in-hands` or `frustrated`, preseason/midseason to `coffee-sip` or `reviewing-tablet`. |
+| Monday Briefing dialogue surfaces | `apps/web/src/features/monday-briefing/MondayBriefing.tsx` | Wired through active dialogue entry. | No component change needed; it inherits the weekly dialogue pose improvements. |
+| Route coaching: Monday Briefing | `apps/web/src/features/route-coaching/routeBeatRegistry.ts` | Wired. Uses generic `point-side`/`thinking`. | Consider `reviewing-tablet` for triage and `calling-play` for top action. |
+| Route coaching: roster/depth/game-plan/week-advance | `apps/web/src/features/route-coaching/routeBeatRegistry.ts` | Wired. Uses generic `point-side`/`thinking`. | Keep roster/depth mostly generic. Use `calling-play` for game plan and `reviewing-tablet`/`time-out` for week advance where decisions are pending. |
+| Route coaching: inbox/staff/cap lab | `apps/web/src/features/route-coaching/routeBeatRegistry.ts` | Wired. Cap lab uses `point-down`; inbox/staff use generic thinking/pointing. | Use `note-taking` for inbox, `reviewing-tablet` for staff, and `skeptical`/`reviewing-tablet` for cap lab. |
+| Route coaching: draft/trade/scouting | `apps/web/src/features/route-coaching/routeBeatRegistry.ts` | Wired. Draft and trade have route beats; scouting has one `idle` beat. | Use `pointing-at-tape` for scouting, `calling-play` or `football-in-hand` for draft, and `on-phone` for trade center. |
+| Route coaching: standings/power/news/records/settings | `apps/web/src/features/route-coaching/routeBeatRegistry.ts` | Wired in v3. Uses `thinking`, `point-side`, `idle`, `cheer`, and `point-down`. | Upgrade to `reviewing-tablet`, `skeptical`, `proud`, and `coffee-sip` where appropriate. |
+| Training Camp route | `apps/web/src/app/App.tsx`, `apps/web/src/features/training-camp/TrainingCamp.tsx`, `apps/web/src/features/route-coaching/useActiveRouteBeats.ts` | Unwired at route-beat level. The nav has `/training-camp`, but `resolveRouteKey` has no training-camp key. | Add a route-beat entry with `whistle-blow`/`coaching-crouch`. This is small and fits existing infrastructure. |
+| Trade Deadline route | `apps/web/src/app/App.tsx`, `apps/web/src/app/store/game-store.ts`, route coaching files | Partially wired. The store navigates to `/trade-deadline`, but route coaching maps only `/trades` to trade center. | Add a route-beat entry for `/trade-deadline` using `on-phone` and `reviewing-tablet`. Do not touch deadline engine behavior. |
+| Expansion Draft route | `apps/web/src/app/App.tsx`, route coaching files | Unwired at route-beat level. `/expansion-draft` has no route key. | Add a route-beat entry using `reviewing-tablet` and `note-taking`. Keep copy narrow; no new dialogue tree. |
+| Halftime decision modal | `apps/web/src/features/game-day/HalftimeDecision.tsx` | Wired. Uses `mic-check`, `point-left`, `point-right`, `concern`, `thumbs-up`. | Replace the neutral host/choice previews with `time-out`, `calling-play`, `coaching-crouch`, and `frustrated` where the choice demands intensity. |
+| Game recap Chip reaction | `apps/web/src/features/game-day/RecapChipReaction.tsx` | Wired. Uses `celebrate`, `thumbs-up`, `surprised`, `excited`, `concern`, `sad`, `disappointed`, `think`. | Upgrade blowout/comeback wins to `rallying`/`proud`, close wins to `fist-bump`, choke/blowout losses to `facepalm`/`head-in-hands`, unknown to `reviewing-tablet`. |
+| Press conference modal | `apps/web/src/features/game-day/PressConferenceModal.tsx` | Wired. Uses `concern`, `think`, `thumbs-up`. | Use `skeptical` for high ambition, `reviewing-tablet` for measured review, `coffee-sip` for low-key tone, and `fist-bump` when locked in. |
+| Dynasty era transition reveal | `apps/web/src/features/dynasty-era/EraTransitionReveal.tsx` | Wired. Uses `celebrate` or `concern`. | Use `proud`/`rallying` for positive eras and `head-in-hands`/`frustrated` for fall/rebuild. Keep function local. |
+| Trophy Room empty state | `apps/web/src/features/franchise/TrophyRoom.tsx` | Wired direct as `idle`. | Optional. `tired` or `coffee-sip` could give the empty case more personality, but it is not a priority. |
+| Achievement unlock toast | `apps/web/src/features/legacy/AchievementGallery.tsx` | Unwired. Toast has badges/copy but no Chip. | Add compact Chip treatment with `proud` or `fist-bump`. This is a contained feature-component wire-up. |
+| Existing 17 art assets | `apps/web/public/assets/chip/**`, `packages/design-system/components/Chip/Chip.tsx` | Wired and should remain unchanged. | Do not rename or intentionally regenerate existing PNGs. Extend the generator so it can skip existing outputs while still generating new files and contact sheets. |
+
+## Recommended Pose Batch
+
+Primary set: `rallying`, `coaching-crouch`, `calling-play`, `time-out`, `whistle-blow`, `coffee-sip`, `on-phone`, `reviewing-tablet`, `head-in-hands`, `fist-bump`, `note-taking`, `laughing`, `skeptical`, `proud`, `facepalm`, `frustrated`, `tired`, `football-in-hand`, `pointing-at-tape`.
+
+Drop rule: if the v3 procedural rig cannot render one of these without changing Chip's face, outfit, headset, scale, or line weight, drop that pose and document it in this audit before moving on. Do not create a second art pipeline.
+
+## Wire-Up Target List
+
+Ship in this branch if the pose batch renders cleanly:
+
+1. Add route-beat coverage for `/training-camp`, `/trade-deadline`, and `/expansion-draft`.
+2. Upgrade route-beat pose mapping to support specific semantic poses while keeping the dock contract intact.
+3. Upgrade eventBridge pose reactions for touchdown/rally, trade rumor, HOF retirement, decision lock-in, cap pressure, and big losses.
+4. Upgrade weekly dialogue/weekly guidance pose selections.
+5. Upgrade direct game-day surfaces: halftime, recap, press conference.
+6. Add compact Chip support to the achievement unlock toast.
+7. Optionally upgrade era transition and trophy room empty state if the new poses read clearly in the existing layout.
+
+Still defer unless Kevin explicitly expands scope:
+
+- Open-ended season-end dialogue trees: existing `eventBridge` comments identify the missing catalog, but this needs more than a line or two of authoring.
+- Engine-side event spine changes: current high-stakes pose reactions are intentionally web-side and additive.
+- Save/import/export or schema changes: not needed for this visual/wiring slice.

+# MFD Chip Onboarding Goal Checkpoint
+
+Date: 2026-05-05
+Repo: `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD`
+Branch: `main`
+Baseline: `dc7740a Sprint 46: Polish standings signals (#54)`
+
+## Active Goal Summary
+
+Perfect the Chip-guided onboarding and weekly guidance loop so Chip becomes the main player-facing guide layer for Mr. Football Dynasty. The work must improve first-time orientation, weekly next-action guidance, decision-impact clarity, replay/reset/snooze controls, and safe TTS/share scaffolding behind feature flags.
+
+## Resume 2026-05-05 09:45:09 CDT
+
+Current objective: finish Slice 9 honestly by verifying the current Chip implementation, diagnosing local blockers, fixing P0/P1 issues found in the continuation, and completing the first-3-week onboarding audit against actual runtime behavior.
+
+Verification plan:
+
+1. Reconfirm repo rules, package scripts, current branch, and safe git state without destructive git operations.
+2. Diagnose the `git status` / `git diff` hang using time-boxed read-only commands.
+3. Inspect Chip onboarding, weekly guidance, decision-impact, dock controls, TTS, share, route coaching, feature flags, and mount paths.
+4. Reproduce the hanging targeted tests one file at a time with explicit timeouts and verbose output.
+5. Diagnose typecheck hangs with repo-standard and targeted package commands before attempting fixes.
+6. Start the app with Chip enabled and complete browser/manual or equivalent runtime verification; document exact blocker if browser tooling fails.
+7. Update this checkpoint with commands, results, blocker root causes, and remaining P0/P1/P2 issues.
+
+Blocker diagnosis:
+
+- `git status` / `git diff`: reproduced. `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`, branch, and inside-work-tree checks return immediately, and no `.git/index.lock` exists. Both `git -c core.fsmonitor=false status --short --untracked-files=no` and `git -c core.fsmonitor=false diff --stat` time out after 30s. Follow-up read-only checks show `.git/objects/pack/pack-7e55b47cf628dd9df812d78dfb6410f37d6f870f.pack` repeatedly errors as `far too short to be a packfile`, and `git diff --cached --stat --no-ext-diff --no-renames` exits 128 with `fatal: unable to read 39cbc7bc99415d388a173e44d4cad585f3519bf9`. No `.git` repair has been attempted.
+- `dockControls.test.ts`: blocked before file-specific execution. Direct Vitest bootstrap via bundled Node (`node .../vitest/vitest.mjs run ...`) produced no runner output after 180s and sat at 0% CPU inside Node dependency loading; killed only that spawned process.
+- TSX/component suites: root cause is at least partly filesystem/local install level. `apps/web/src/features/week-advance/WeekAdvance.tsx` was a regular 14 KB file by `stat`, but `sed`, `wc`, and `dd` all blocked trying to read the working-tree inode. The unreadable inode was moved to `.codex/MFD/evidence/WeekAdvance.tsx.unreadable-20260505-1008`, the source was recreated from `git show HEAD:...`, and the Chip decision-impact panel was reapplied. `WeekAdvance.test.tsx` is now readable and still expects the panel copy.
+- `tsc --noEmit`: still blocked after WeekAdvance repair. Direct bundled Node command `node .../typescript/lib/tsc.js --noEmit --project apps/web/tsconfig.json --pretty false` produced no diagnostics after 180s; `ps` showed 0% CPU and `lsof` showed Node blocked while reading dependency declarations such as `vite/types/hmrPayload.d.ts`.
+- Browser/manual playthrough: fresh Vite build/dev is blocked before startup. Existing stale `apps/web/dist` can be served only by stripping the `/MFD` base path; the stale build loads with no console errors but has Chip disabled and cannot count as current Chip verification.
+
+Commands run during resume:
+
+- `pwd`: `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD`.
+- `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`: `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD`.
+- `git branch --show-current`: `main`.
+- `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree`: `true`.
+- `ls -la .git/index.lock 2>/dev/null || true`: no lock file output.
+- `git -c core.fsmonitor=false status --short --untracked-files=no`: timeout after 30s.
+- `git -c core.fsmonitor=false diff --stat`: timeout after 30s.
+- `git config --show-origin --get-regexp 'core.fsmonitor|core.untrackedCache|diff.external|filter|lfs'`: only LFS filter config found.

+- `git -c core.fsmonitor=false -c core.untrackedCache=false status --porcelain=v1 --untracked-files=no --no-renames`: timeout after 20s.
+- `git -c core.fsmonitor=false -c core.untrackedCache=false diff --name-only --no-ext-diff --no-renames`: timeout after 20s with repeated corrupt-pack errors.
+- `git diff --cached --stat --no-ext-diff --no-renames`: exit 128 after corrupt-pack errors.

+- `wc -l apps/web/src/features/week-advance/WeekAdvance.tsx`: after recovery, succeeds with 352 lines.
+- `git diff -- apps/web/src/features/week-advance/WeekAdvance.tsx .codex/MFD/chip-onboarding-goal.md --stat`: targeted diff succeeds and shows the WeekAdvance decision-impact patch; full diff still blocks.
+- `git fsck --no-progress`: timeout after 30s.
+- `node .../vitest/vitest.mjs run src/features/week-advance/WeekAdvance.test.tsx --reporter=verbose --pool=forks`: no runner output after 180s; process sampled at 0% CPU while loading Node dependencies.

+- `node .../vite/bin/vite.js build --mode production`: produced no output and exited/killed with code -1 before Vite startup output in this desktop shell.
+- Static stale preview: `python3` server mapping `/MFD/` to `apps/web/dist` plus in-app browser loaded the old build with no console errors, but Chip was not enabled in that build.
+
+## Preflight Repo State
+
+- `git status --short`: clean at start.
+- `git branch --show-current`: `main`.
+- `git log -1 --oneline`: `dc7740a Sprint 46: Polish standings signals (#54)`.
+- Repo rules: no checked-in `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md` found in this checkout; applying Kevin's supplied AGENTS instructions from the prompt.
+- Existing `.codex/MFD`: `sprint71-resume-audit.md` only.
+- `pnpm --version`: unavailable (`pnpm: command not found`).
+- `node_modules`: missing.
+- Fallback expected for test commands: `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 ...`.
+- Save schema baseline: `packages/engine/src/config/difficulty.ts` exports `SAVE_VERSION = 35`.
+- Initial dirty files: none.
+
+## Existing Chip / Guidance Audit
+
+### Components and Stores
+
+- `packages/design-system/components/Chip/`: Chip SVG primitive, poses, dialogue bubble, reduced-motion behavior.
+- `apps/web/src/features/companion/ChipHost.tsx`: setup/onboarding overlay, `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED` gate, legacy localStorage skip key `mfd.chip.onboarding`.
+- `apps/web/src/features/companion/ChipDock.tsx`: persistent post-setup dock, controls, route beat/live beat rendering, quiet controls, `What now?`, `Where am I?`, pending decision badge.
+- `apps/web/src/features/companion/store.ts`: Zustand Chip state, pose priority windows, dialogue fields, read receipts, basic `advance/dismiss/reset`.
+- `apps/web/src/features/companion/dockPersistence.ts`: local dock preferences at `mfd.chip.local`.

+- `apps/web/src/features/route-coaching/useActiveRouteBeats.ts`: resolves route beat eligibility using store receipts.
+
+### Dialogue and Onboarding
+
+- `apps/web/src/features/companion/dialogue/onboarding.ts`: 9 setup beats oriented around franchise setup. Current copy is stronger for setup identity than post-setup weekly play.
+- `apps/web/src/features/companion/dialogue/weekly.ts`: short deterministic weekly dialogue variants by outcome.
+- `apps/web/src/features/monday-briefing/MondayBriefing.tsx`: existing Chip commentary around briefing.
+- `apps/web/src/features/onboarding/TutorialOverlay.tsx` and `packages/engine/src/systems/tutorial.ts`: older generic tutorial/help surfaces.

+### Decision and Weekly Surfaces
+
+- `apps/web/src/features/week-advance/WeekAdvance.tsx`: readiness checklist, matchup radar, stakes panel, advance button.
+- `apps/web/src/features/contracts/ContractsCap.tsx`: contract detail modal with consequence list for cuts.
+- `apps/web/src/features/contracts/CapLaboratory.tsx`: cap sandbox, queued moves, projection, consequence list.
+- `apps/web/src/features/trades/TradeCenter.tsx`: incoming/proposal trade workflow with value comparison and confirmation.
+- `apps/web/src/features/depth-chart/DepthChart.tsx` and `apps/web/src/features/game-plan/GamePlanSetup.tsx`: high-priority route targets for first-ten-minute guidance.
+
+### Feature Flags and Persistence
+
+- Existing Chip gate: `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED === 'true'`.
+- No TTS scaffold found.
+- Existing share/export helpers exist for season recap and scrapbook via `apps/web/src/features/season/recap-share.ts`, but no Chip share-event scaffold found.
+- Chip persistence is browser-local only and does not touch dynasty save schema.
+
+### Existing Tests
+
+- Companion: `ChipHost.test.tsx`, `ChipDock.test.tsx`, `store.test.ts`, `eventBridge.test.ts`, `useChipEvents.test.ts`, `readReceipts.test.ts`, route coaching tests.
+- Weekly dialogue determinism: `dialogue/weekly.test.ts`.
+- Onboarding dialogue validation: `dialogue/onboarding.test.ts`.
+- Week advance, contracts, cap lab, trades each have focused component tests.
+
+## Current Journey vs Target Journey
+
+Current:
+- Setup Chip is present and visually strong, but it is mostly a setup companion.
+- Post-setup Chip gives short weekly outcome remarks and route coaching on a few routes.
+- `What now?` replays the last weekly line instead of producing a ranked next action.
+- Decision impact exists in isolated UI pieces, but there is no common immediate/season/future/risk language.
+- Skip/read receipts suppress repetition, but there is no formal onboarding progress state machine or clear reset/replay/snooze workflow.
+- TTS and share-card scaffolding are absent.
+
+Target:
+- Chip has explicit onboarding progress, beat IDs, route/context gates, idempotent trigger handling, resume, reset, replay, and snooze.
+- First-time players get a concise first-10-minute arc: chair framing, weekly loop, briefing, roster/depth, game plan, advance, post-advance debrief, decision impact, and advanced-system map.
+- After week advance, Chip explains what changed, why it matters, top next actions, risks, feature links, and confidence.
+- Major decision surfaces share concise impact explainers: immediate, this season, future, risk/uncertainty, and difficulty/severity where available.
+- Player can replay/reset onboarding, snooze Chip temporarily, and ask what to do now without being trapped.
+- TTS/share scaffolds are feature-flagged and default safe.

+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web exec vitest run src/features/companion/ChipDock.test.tsx`
+  - Result: BLOCKED/HUNG locally before output; killed only the spawned Vitest worker/npm process after no runner output.
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web exec vitest run src/features/companion/dockControls.test.ts`
+  - Result: BLOCKED locally. After removing a TSX import from the control reducer, this isolated suite still exits/hangs without diagnostics in this shell. Production build covers the module syntactically, but this test file has not produced a clean pass locally.
+- Slice 7:
+  - `./node_modules/.bin/vitest run src/features/companion/dockControls.test.ts src/features/companion/chipVoice.test.ts src/features/companion/chipShare.test.ts src/features/companion/featureVisibilityMatrix.test.ts --reporter=verbose`
+  - Partial result before manual stop: `chipVoice.test.ts` PASS, 4 tests. Combined command then stalled on `dockControls.test.ts`.
+- Slice 8:
+  - `./node_modules/.bin/vitest run src/features/companion/dockControls.test.ts src/features/companion/chipVoice.test.ts src/features/companion/chipShare.test.ts src/features/companion/featureVisibilityMatrix.test.ts --reporter=verbose`
+  - Partial result before manual stop: `chipShare.test.ts` PASS, 4 tests; `featureVisibilityMatrix.test.ts` PASS, 4 tests. Combined command then stalled on `dockControls.test.ts`.
+- Slice 9:
+  - `./node_modules/.bin/vite build --mode production`
+  - Result: PASS. Built 2,511 modules and completed in 11m 22s; existing large-chunk warning remains.
+  - `./node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit --project tsconfig.json --pretty false`
+  - Result: BLOCKED/HUNG locally; no diagnostics after >150s, killed only that MFD `tsc` process.
+  - Dev server smoke: `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true ./node_modules/.bin/vite --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5173`
+  - Result: server reached ready state at `http://127.0.0.1:5173/MFD/`, but browser tooling blocked. Playwright connector returned `Transport closed`; Playwright CLI wrapper stalled under `npm exec`; HTTP `curl` requests hung while Vite repeatedly restarted on watched config/package files. Manual browser playthrough not completed.
+
+## Feature Visibility Matrix
+
+Implemented as `apps/web/src/features/companion/featureVisibilityMatrix.ts`.
+
+- First-ten-minute features: Monday Briefing, Roster, Depth Chart, Game Plan, Week Advance.
+- Weekly/post-result features: Inbox, Schedule, Standings, League Pulse, Film Room, Team Needs.
+- Pressure-window features: Injuries, Contracts, Cap Lab, Trades, Waivers, Practice Squad.
+- Offseason/draft features: Scouting, Draft, Free Agency.
+- Deep-dive/legacy features: Coaching, Power Rankings, Analytics, Record Book, Settings/Save Load.
+
+The matrix records route/entry point, purpose, why it matters, best introduction moment, first-time action, advanced note, and verification status.
+
+## Completion Audit Status
+
+- Product audit: partially passing by code inspection and build. First-10-minute arc, weekly loop, route coaching expansion, decision-impact model, replay/reset/re-enable controls, feature matrix, TTS scaffold, and share scaffold are implemented. Browser/manual confirmation is blocked.
+- Engineering audit: partially passing. State machine, idempotent progress, browser-local persistence, reset/replay/snooze controls, weekly guidance tests, decision-impact pure tests, safe flags, and production build are present. `dockControls.test.ts`, TSX component tests, typecheck, git status/diff, and browser manual pass remain blocked locally.
+- Commands/evidence audit: build passed; many targeted tests passed before the local runner instability. Latest `git status`/`git diff` attempts hang with no output in this desktop session, while a GitHub Desktop git status process is also present in the repo.
+- Manual playthrough: blocked. Dev server reached ready state but HTTP/browser inspection did not complete because Vite repeatedly restarted under watcher activity and both Playwright connector/CLI paths were unavailable.
+
+## Resume Instructions
+
+If context compacts or the run pauses:
+
+1. Re-read this file.
+2. Re-run `git status --short`.
+3. Continue from the highest-priority incomplete slice above.
+4. Keep persistence browser-local unless a save-schema change becomes unavoidable.
+5. Use `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 ...` if global `pnpm` is still unavailable.
+6. Do not mark complete until the final completion audit passes against current repo state.

+# MFD Public Release + Chip Recovery Goal
+
+Updated: 2026-05-05 18:24:09 CDT
+Original repo path: `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD`
+Clean clone path: `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD-clean-chip-recovery`
+Current branch: `codex/chip-public-release-recovery`
+Checkout classification: clean recovery clone built from remote after the original checkout failed safe git inspection
+Salvage folder: `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD-chip-salvage-20260505-111937`
+Salvage manifest: `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD-chip-salvage-20260505-111937/MFD_CHIP_SALVAGE_MANIFEST.md`
+Baseline commit in clean clone: `dc7740a Sprint 46: Polish standings signals (#54)`
+
+## Prior Blocker Summary
+
+- Previous Chip marathon work existed, but the original checkout was not trustworthy enough to mark MFD release-ready.
+- `git status` hung in the original checkout and `git diff --stat` failed with `fatal: mmap failed: Operation canceled`.
+- Earlier browser work only reached stale `dist`, and Chip was not proven in a current build.
+- Recovery goals were: preserve Chip work, move into a clean clone, reapply, verify, then finish live Chip/public-release P0s.
+
+## Corrupt Repo Diagnosis
+
+- Original checkout identity was confirmed as MFD from `README.md` and `package.json`.
+- Safe git inspection in `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD`:
+  - `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`: passed
+  - `git remote -v`: passed
+  - `git branch --show-current`: `main`
+  - `git log -1 --oneline`: `dc7740a Sprint 46: Polish standings signals (#54)`
+  - `git -c core.fsmonitor=false status --short --untracked-files=no`: timed out after 30s
+  - `git -c core.fsmonitor=false diff --stat`: failed with `fatal: mmap failed: Operation canceled`
+- Conclusion: original repo stayed unsafe for build/test work. No destructive git repair was attempted.
+
+## Salvage + Recovery Result
+
+- Chip-related files and `.codex/MFD` notes were salvaged to the timestamped recovery folder above.
+- Clean clone created at `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD-clean-chip-recovery`.
+- Recovery branch created: `codex/chip-public-release-recovery`.
+- All build, test, and browser verification work below was done only in the clean clone.
+
+## Implementation Summary
+
+- Reapplied and completed the Chip onboarding/weekly-guidance/decision-impact slice in the clean clone.
+- Wired the formal onboarding state into the live shell and route-beat system instead of leaving guidance as isolated copy beats.
+- Added guarded TTS/share scaffolds behind `VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED` and `VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED`.
+- Added weekly guidance generation, decision-impact summaries, feature visibility sequencing, and replay/reset/snooze controls.
+- Surfaced Chip guidance inside Monday Briefing, Week Advance, Game Plan, Depth Chart, Trade Center, and Cap Lab.
+- Fixed a live Game Plan runtime P0 caused by an unstable selector result reference.
+- Fixed a live Depth Chart DOM-nesting warning caused by rendering a player-link button inside a depth-slot button.
+- Completed the P1 hardening pass for mobile tolerance, Trade Center, Cap Lab, accessibility basics, blank states, and release metadata.
+- Fixed the mobile Chip dock so expanded route guidance no longer blocks underlying route controls, while dock controls remain reachable.
+- Moved Cap Lab tables to responsive card mode on phone widths and raised PixelSelect plus Chip pending-badge controls to the shared 44px touch target.
+- Fixed release HTML asset URLs so the `/MFD/` Vite base no longer double-prefixes the manifest/favicon/OG image paths.
+- Kept save compatibility intact: no engine/schema/save-version changes were made, and sim determinism was not touched.
+
+## Release Candidate Lock-In Sprint — Resume
+
+Timestamp: 2026-05-05 17:52:39 CDT
+Repo path: `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD-clean-chip-recovery`
+Branch: `codex/chip-public-release-recovery`
+Checkpoint evidence folder: `.codex/MFD/evidence/release-candidate-lockin-20260505-175132/`
+Checkpoint commit: `8516b05 Checkpoint Chip public-release hardening`
+
+### Safety Notes
+
+- Confirmed active repo and git root are the clean recovery clone.
+- Confirmed branch is `codex/chip-public-release-recovery`.
+- Original corrupt checkout at `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD` was not used for work.
+- Preserved the pre-lock-in worktree state with git status, diff stat, name-only list, tracked full diff, and untracked full diff.
+- Pre-lock-in diff inspection found only MFD web/design-system and `.codex/MFD` documentation changes; no `dist`, deploy, non-MFD, production secret, engine save-version, or dynasty save-schema changes were found.
+
+### Planned Slices
+
+1. Save/load/settings/import-export current-code browser runtime pass.
+2. Later-season Chip feature-introduction audit and focused P0/P1 fixes only.
+3. Broader accessibility basics review across core routes.
+4. Broader blank/loading/error state review across core routes.
+5. Bundle/public delivery risk review and production preview check.
+6. Multi-week smoke playthrough with Chip enabled.
+
+### Commands Run In This Resume So Far
+
+- `pwd`
+- `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`
+- `git branch --show-current`
+- `git log -1 --oneline`
+- `git status --short --branch`
+- `rg --files -g 'AGENTS.md' -g 'CLAUDE.md'`
+- Evidence capture commands for status, diff stat, diff name-only, tracked full diff, and untracked full diff.
+- `git diff --check` — passed before checkpoint commit.
+- `git add ...` — explicit file staging only; no `git add -A`.
+- `git commit -m "Checkpoint Chip public-release hardening" ...` — created local checkpoint `8516b05`.
+
+### Browser Verification Notes
+
+- Current-code dev verification used Chip enabled with TTS/share disabled on `http://localhost:5173/MFD/`.
+- Save/load/settings/import-export smoke passed from a Week 2 dynasty:
+  - manual save slot created
+  - `.mfd` export downloaded
+  - bad pasted import showed safe error copy
+  - exported file imported successfully
+  - browser reload preserved Week 2/team state through `Continue Latest Autosave`
+  - manual slot loaded successfully
+  - Settings and Chip controls remained usable after reload
+- Broad route accessibility/blank-state sweep passed on desktop and phone routes with no console errors, unnamed visible buttons, nested interactive controls, bad blank copy, or page-level overflow failures.
+- Multi-week smoke advanced from Week 3 to Week 9 with Chip visible across core routes and no console/runtime errors.
+- Production preview used a fresh Chip-enabled build at `http://localhost:4173/MFD/`; Chip appeared in setup, `/MFD/` manifest fields were correct, and TTS/share controls were absent under disabled flags.
+
+### P0/P1/P2 Findings
+
+- P0 fixed: standings/stat-leader views no longer crash when legacy or sparse player records lack season stats.
+- P0 fixed: record-tracker paths no longer crash during week advance when sparse player records lack season stats.
+- P1 fixed: Roster no longer relies on a clickable table row around nested player/watch controls; the route now uses an explicit `Manage` action.
+- P1 fixed: legacy tutorial overlay is gated off when Chip is enabled, avoiding setup/control overlap.
+- P1 fixed: Chip dock pointer-hit area no longer blocks underlying route controls outside actual dock controls.
+- P1 improved: later-season route beats now cover Inbox, Standings, Power Rankings, League Pulse/News, Record Book/Legacy, and Settings/Save Load.
+- P1 documented: Vite chunk-size warnings remain pre-existing public-delivery risk, not a lock-in blocker.
+- P2 deferred: TTS/share polish remains intentionally behind disabled flags.
+
+### Final Release-Candidate Audit
+
+- Baseline and final gates passed:
+  - `git diff --check`
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 typecheck`
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/design-system test` — 14 files / 88 tests
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web test` — 209 files / 1292 tests
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/engine test` — 201 files / 1852 tests
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 build` — passed with existing chunk-size warnings
+- Focused tests passed for ChipDock/App/MilestoneCard, route coaching, Roster, standings, and record-tracker.
+- Save/load/settings/import-export, broad accessibility/blank states, production preview, and multi-week smoke were runtime-checked with current code.
+- `SAVE_VERSION` remains `35`; no save schema, migration, deployment, or production secret changes were made.
+- Completion rubric: 96/100 with no P0s and no category below 4.
+
+## Late-Season Release Rehearsal + Public Ship Prep
+
+Timestamp: 2026-05-05 18:56:55 CDT

+- `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web test` — baseline passed, 209 files / 1292 tests; existing `--localstorage-file` warning only.
+- `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/engine test` — baseline passed, 201 files / 1852 tests; existing `--localstorage-file` warning only.
+- `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 build` — baseline passed with existing Vite chunk-size warnings.
+- `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web exec vitest run src/features/dynasty-cartridge/DynastyCartridge.test.tsx --reporter=verbose` — passed, 1 file / 6 tests after clipboard fallback patch.
+- `git diff --check` — final rerun passed.
+- `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 typecheck` — final rerun passed.
+- `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/design-system test` — final rerun passed, 14 files / 88 tests.
+- `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web test` — final rerun passed, 209 files / 1293 tests; existing `--localstorage-file` warning only.
+- `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/engine test` — final rerun passed, 201 files / 1852 tests; existing `--localstorage-file` warning only.
+- `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 build` — final rerun passed with existing Vite chunk-size warnings.
+- `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 build` — flagged public preview build passed with the same existing chunk-size warnings.
+
+### Browser Verification Notes
+
+- Dev command: `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web dev -- --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5173`.
+- Vite served `http://localhost:5173/MFD/`.
+- Secondary fresh-origin server used for setup isolation: `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web exec vite --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5174`.
+- Fresh setup reached the Week 1 shell with Chip visible and Monday Briefing present.
+- Built-in convention demo provided the safe late-season fast path at Week 14, 9-4, one game behind the division leader.
+- Late-season routes checked with Chip enabled: Monday Briefing, Trade Center, Trade Deadline, Cap Lab, Standings, Power Rankings, League Pulse, Record Book, Legacy, Scouting, Draft, Week Advance, Game Plan, Save/Load, Settings, Playoff Lore, and Super Bowl.
+- Trade Center loaded in Week 14 with `Deadline Passed`, `TRADE WINDOW CLOSED`, direct proposal UI, empty-offer state, and no crash.
+- Standings loaded with playoff picture and stat leaders; no sparse-stat or record-tracking crash appeared.
+- Playoff entry reached Week 19 with `PLAYOFFS // 1 ISSUE(S)` and no route crash.
+- One playoff game was advanced; Playoff Lore then showed one current-dynasty Wild Card win card.
+- Super Bowl route correctly showed the not-yet-played empty state.
+- Scouting and Draft routes loaded in regular-season/playoff context with clear empty/phase-gated states and Chip visible.
+- Save slot creation worked. Clipboard export initially logged a browser permission error; patched to catch clipboard denial and direct the user to `Download .mfd`. After patch, current browser clipboard copy showed the normal copied status.
+- Production preview command: `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web preview -- --host 127.0.0.1`.
+- Production preview URL: `http://localhost:4173/MFD/`.
+- Production preview detail: the first preview after an unflagged build correctly showed that `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED` is build-time for Vite. The final preview therefore used a fresh flagged build plus flagged preview command.
+- Final production preview loaded `/MFD/`, `manifest.json` returned `application/json`, asset paths used `/MFD/assets/...`, no source maps or `.mfd` files were present in `apps/web/dist`, Chip dock appeared on every sampled late-season route, and no `localhost:4173` console warnings/errors were reported.
+
+### P0/P1/P2 Findings
+
+- P0: none found.
+- P1 fixed: `Copy Cartridge` no longer leaves an uncaught clipboard permission denial; blocked clipboard writes now fall back to player-facing Download `.mfd` guidance.
+- P1 documented: active trade-deadline countdown was not reached in this pass; the built-in safe path starts Week 14 after the deadline, while Week 9 countdown coverage remains test-backed.
+- P1 documented: one browser attempt to paste invalid backup code did not surface visible error copy before the clipboard fallback patch; prior lock-in had verified valid/invalid import through the same route, and no runtime crash occurred.
+- P2 documented: postseason package beyond playoff-lore entry and Super Bowl placeholder remains a deeper cinematic slice.
+
+### Final Ship-Readiness Audit
+
+- Final gate rerun passed: diff check, typecheck, design-system tests, web tests, engine tests, standard build, flagged public preview build, and production preview.
+- `SAVE_VERSION` remains `35`.
+- No save schema, migration, engine RNG, production secret, deploy, or push changes were made.
+- No broad Chip rebuild or new game system was added.
+- No P0s remain from this rehearsal.

+## Browser Verification
+
+### Launch path
+
+- Dev server command:
+  - `env PATH="/Users/tkevinbigham/.cache/codex-runtimes/codex-primary-runtime/dependencies/node/bin:$PATH" VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web dev -- --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4173`
+- Served URL used in browser verification:
+  - `http://localhost:5174/MFD/`
+  - Note: `5173` was already occupied, so Vite served this current-code pass on `5174`.
+
+### Current-code first-3-week playthrough
+
+- Started a fresh dynasty from current source with Chip enabled.
+- Completed setup flow:
+  - AGM: Deion "Coach D" Hardaway
+  - Head Coach: Dorian Cross
+  - Scouting Director: Marvin Tate
+  - Offense: Power Run
+  - Defense: 4-3
+  - Depth philosophy: Best Players
+  - Cap package: Balanced Pressure Release
+  - Goals: Win Division, Cap Health, No Losing Streaks
+  - Culture mandate: Player Led
+- Week 1 verified:
+  - Chip appeared in the live shell
+  - Monday Briefing copy clearly explained the weekly loop
+  - Dock controls present: `Where am I?`, `What now?`, `Replay`, `Snooze`, `Enable`, `Quiet for screen`, `Quiet until next week`, `Quiet this season`, `Reduce guidance`, `Disable animations`
+  - Route guidance verified on Monday Briefing, Roster, Depth Chart, Game Plan, and Week Advance
+  - Week Advance decision-impact UI showed `Immediate`, `This season`, `Future`, and `Risk`
+- Week 1 advance:
+  - Game Plan required before advancing
+  - Halftime decision path was exercised
+  - Halftime modal: `Halftime Hell`, Jacksonville 0 - 14 New York, chose `Switch`
+- Week 2 verified:
+  - Record updated to `0-1`
+  - Briefing surfaced the Week 1 result and injury notes
+  - Chip weekly copy changed appropriately and stayed contextual
+- Week 3 verified:
+  - Record updated to `1-1`
+  - Briefing surfaced injuries, power-ranking movement, and next opponent
+  - Chip copy changed again and reduced repetition instead of replaying the same Week 1 text
+- Replay was verified in the live Week 3 shell: replay restored the current weekly guidance after dismissal.
+- TTS disabled path produced no autoplay voice or crash.
+- Share disabled path produced no visible regression.
+
+### Runtime fixes verified in browser

+- Game Plan P0 before fix:
+  - `The result of getSnapshot should be cached to avoid an infinite loop`
+  - `Maximum update depth exceeded`
+- Fix applied:
+  - `apps/web/src/app/store/selectors.ts` memoized `selectCurrentOpponentIntel`
+  - `apps/web/src/features/game-plan/GamePlanSetup.tsx` stopped passing `PixelPanel` directly as the tooltip child in the crashing surface
+- Result:
+  - `#/game-plan` rendered normally with Chip route guidance and prep controls
+- Depth Chart warning before fix:
+  - nested `<button>` inside the slot card due to `PlayerNameLink` rendering a button inside the room button
+- Fix applied:
+  - `apps/web/src/features/depth-chart/DepthChart.tsx` now renders plain starter text inside the slot card and keeps player linking in the modal
+- Result:
+  - `#/depth-chart` rendered with no fresh console warnings after the fix
+
+### Additional demo-shell check
+
+- The Week 14 demo scenario was launched from current code.
+- Monday Briefing, Depth Chart, and Chip dock were inspected again after the fixes.
+- The demo shell currently loads with dock controls available but no active route/live beat once the dock is expanded, so replay/quiet controls are present but inert in that state. Replay/reset/snooze reliability remains covered by direct ChipDock state tests.
+
+### P1 hardening browser pass
+
+- Current-code browser pass launched the Week 14 demo scenario on `http://localhost:5174/MFD/`.
+- Phone viewport `390x844` verified:
+  - Trade Center route rendered with `0 pending`, `0 accepted`, `No high-confidence suggestions this week`, and `No active offers`.
+  - Trade Center `Propose Trade` tab was clickable with the expanded Chip route beat visible.
+  - Cap Lab rendered in responsive card mode with 17 card rows and no page-level horizontal overflow.
+  - Cap Lab `Add Move`, enabled `Apply Sandbox`, modal open, and `Cancel` path all worked.
+  - No unnamed visible controls were found in the Trade/Cap pass.
+  - No undersized phone controls were found after the PixelSelect and Chip pending-badge fixes.
+  - No page-level overflow offenders remained; Chip dock controls use an intentional internal horizontal scroller on phone widths.
+- Desktop viewport `1366x900` verified:
+  - Trade Center and Cap Lab routes rendered without page-level overflow offenders.
+  - Trade Center and Cap Lab blank/low-data states remained visible.
+- Release metadata verified in browser:
+  - Manifest resolved to `http://localhost:5174/MFD/manifest.json`.
+  - Manifest response was `application/json`.
+  - Browser console had no errors or warnings after the manifest and mobile-web-app metadata fix.
+

+- Cap Lab current-browser pass: yes
+- Accessibility/blank-state broad sweep: yes
+- Tone acceptable: yes
+- No spam or annoying repetition in the 3-week and Week 3-to-9 runs: yes
+
+## Engineering Audit
+
+- Clean recovery path established: yes
+- Reliable git status/diff in clean clone: yes
+- Install: yes
+- Typecheck: yes
+- Tests: yes, including full web, design-system, and engine suites
+- Build: yes
+- Current-code dev browser verification: yes
+- Production preview verification: yes
+- Live onboarding/state-machine integration: yes
+- Persistence/resume path: yes by runtime smoke and tests
+- Idempotent triggers/read receipts: yes by route-beat/read-receipt tests
+- Feature flags: yes for Chip, TTS scaffold, and share scaffold
+- Save compatibility: yes; no save schema/version changes
+- Deterministic sim behavior preserved: yes; no RNG edits
+- Public delivery: `/MFD/` manifest preview verified; chunk warnings documented
+
+## Remaining Issues
+
+### P0
+
+- None remaining after clean-clone recovery, final gates, current-code browser checks, save/load/import-export smoke, production preview, and multi-week playthrough.
+
+### P1
+
+- Bundle chunk-size warnings remain from the current app build output and should be addressed in a later performance slice if public web delivery becomes sensitive to initial load.
+- Later-season Chip coverage is now materially better, but a full trade-deadline/playoff/offseason hands-on pass is still the next best product-confidence sweep.
+
+### P2
+
+- TTS scaffold remains intentionally conservative behind `VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED`.
+- Share scaffold remains intentionally conservative behind `VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED`.
+- Additional feature-introduction variants and copy polish can continue after release recovery.
+
+## Resume Instructions
+
+1. Work in `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD-clean-chip-recovery`, not the corrupt original checkout.
+2. Re-read this file and `.codex/MFD/public-release-readiness-matrix.md`.
+3. If continuing release work, keep scope to MFD only and preserve `SAVE_VERSION 35`.
+4. Treat the current Chip recovery plus release-candidate lock-in slice as green on full tests, focused tests, current-code browser verification, and production preview unless a new regression appears.
+5. Next sprint should target a deeper trade-deadline/playoff/offseason playthrough and bundle delivery, not unrelated new systems.

+Repo path: `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD-clean-chip-recovery`
+Branch: `codex/chip-public-release-recovery`
+Starting commit: `ea1d7a2 test: rehearse late-season mfd release candidate`
+Evidence folder: `.codex/MFD/evidence/final-ship-decision-20260505-193901/`
+
+### Known P1/P2s Entering Pass
+
+- P1: live Week 9 trade-deadline countdown browser pass.
+- P1: clean-browser invalid pasted import copy.
+- P1: bundle/public delivery sanity review only if metrics require it.
+- P2: deeper postseason/offseason/draft play, more Chip variants, TTS polish, and share payload expansion.
+
+### Commands Run
+
+- `pwd` / `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` / `git branch --show-current` / `git log --oneline -8` / `git status --short --branch` - clean recovery clone confirmed; `ea1d7a2` at HEAD before edits.
+- Pre-final evidence capture commands wrote git status, git log, diff stat, diff name-only, and untracked-evidence notes under the evidence folder.
+- Baseline gates with bundled Node v24:
+  - `git diff --check` - passed.
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 typecheck` - passed.
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/design-system test` - passed, 14 files / 88 tests.
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web test` - passed, 209 files / 1293 tests.
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/engine test` - passed, 201 files / 1852 tests.
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 build` - passed with existing Vite chunk-size warnings.
+- Focused invalid-import copy TDD:
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web exec vitest run src/features/dynasty-cartridge/DynastyCartridge.test.tsx --reporter=verbose` - red first because `importFailureMessage` was missing.
+  - Same focused command - green after the UI-layer copy fix, 1 file / 7 tests.
+- Bundle sanity:
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 build` - passed with existing Vite chunk-size warnings.
+  - `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 build` - passed with existing Vite chunk-size warnings.
+- Final gates after code/docs:
+  - `git diff --check` - passed.
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 typecheck` - passed.
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/design-system test` - passed, 14 files / 88 tests.
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web test` - passed, 209 files / 1294 tests.
+  - `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/engine test` - passed, 201 files / 1852 tests.

+  - `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 build` - passed with existing Vite chunk-size warnings.
+
+### Browser Verification Notes
+
+- Dev command: `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web dev -- --host 127.0.0.1`.
+- Dev URL: `http://localhost:5173/MFD/`.
+- Live Week 9 deadline verification used a deterministic in-browser Week 9 fixture created from current app modules; no public cheat UI was added.
+- `/trade-deadline` showed Week 9 regular season, 4:00 remaining, `CALM`, one pending offer, zero completed deals, ticker copy, Accept/Reject controls, and no console warnings/errors.
+- `/trades` showed `Deadline Live`, open trade window, clear no-offer state, `Propose Trade`, `Decision Impact`, future pick/contract cost copy, and Chip route guidance that was trade-specific rather than generic Week 1 copy.
+- Invalid import clean-browser pass on `/dynasty`:
+  - empty import left the button disabled;
+  - malformed text left the dynasty unchanged;
+  - wrong-format JSON now shows: `That file does not look like a valid MFD save. Your current dynasty was not changed. Try exporting again or choose a different file.`;
+  - a valid cartridge imported successfully after invalid attempts.
+- Production preview command: `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web preview -- --host 127.0.0.1`.
+- Preview URL: `http://localhost:4173/MFD/`.
+- Preview loaded `/MFD/`, `manifest.json` returned `application/json`, `/MFD/assets/...` script paths were present, the Week 14 demo launched, release routes loaded, Chip dock/action buttons appeared, TTS/share controls were absent under disabled flags, mobile `390x844` spot checks passed, and console warning/error count was zero.
+- Public artifact scan found no `.map`, `.mfd`, `.env`, obvious secret-named files, or obvious secret tokens in `apps/web/dist`.
+
+### Final Ship Recommendation
+
+Ship candidate after Kevin playtest.
+
+- P0 blockers: none found in this pass.
+- P1s: live Week 9 deadline verified; invalid import copy fixed and browser-verified; bundle warning documented as non-blocking.
+- P2s: deeper postseason/offseason/draft content, more Chip variants, TTS polish, share expansion, and broader mobile parity remain post-release work.
+- Push/deploy: none.
+- Save safety: `SAVE_VERSION` remains `35`; no save schema, migration, engine RNG, or deterministic sim behavior changed.

+# MFD Public Release Readiness Matrix
+
+Updated: 2026-05-05 19:49:59 CDT

+
+## Summary
+
+- Recovery status: green in clean clone; checkpoint commit `8516b05` preserves the Chip/public-release hardening baseline.
+- P0 blockers: none remaining.
+- Primary release strength: first-start, weekly Chip guidance, save/load/import/export trust, live Week 9 trade-deadline state, and production preview all survived current-code verification.
+- Remaining risk: existing bundle size warnings and deeper postseason/offseason content depth.

+# Kevin Playtest Script
+
+Goal: decide ship / no-ship for the MFD public release candidate.
+
+Use this alongside `docs/release/MFD_FINAL_SHIP_DECISION.md`.
+
+Use only:
+
+`/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD-clean-chip-recovery`
+
+Do not use:
+
+`/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD`
+
+## Start
+
+```bash
+VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false \
+npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web dev -- --host 127.0.0.1
+```
+
+Open the Vite URL, usually `http://localhost:5173/MFD/`.
+
+## First 10 Minutes
+
+1. Start a fresh dynasty.
+2. Confirm Chip welcomes you during setup.
+3. Finish setup without fighting the UI.
+4. Confirm Monday Briefing appears.
+5. Read Chip's first post-setup guidance.
+6. Visit Roster.
+7. Visit Depth Chart.
+8. Visit Game Plan.
+9. Visit Week Advance.
+10. Advance Week 1.
+11. Confirm post-week Chip guidance changes.
+
+## Core Loop
+
+1. Save the game from Save/Load.
+2. Reload the page.
+3. Continue the latest autosave.
+4. Load the manual save slot.
+5. Use Settings and Chip controls.
+6. Visit Trade Center.
+7. Visit Cap Lab.
+8. Check Standings.
+9. Check Power Rankings.
+10. Check League Pulse.
+11. Check Record Book and Legacy.
+
+## Late Season
+
+Fast path: launch the Convention Demo from the title screen.
+
+1. Confirm Week 14 playoff-race setup is understandable.
+2. Visit Trade Center and confirm deadline status is clear.
+3. Visit Week Advance and read Decision Impact.
+4. Visit Standings and confirm the playoff picture matters.
+5. Visit League Pulse and Power Rankings.
+6. Advance toward playoffs if practical.
+7. Visit Playoff Lore after a playoff game.
+8. Visit Super Bowl and confirm the empty state is acceptable if it has not been played.
+9. Visit Scouting and Draft and confirm the route states are clear.
+
+## Save / Export
+
+1. Create Save Slot.
+2. Click Copy Cartridge.
+3. If the browser blocks clipboard, use Download `.mfd`.
+4. Try invalid pasted backup text and confirm the message says: `That file does not look like a valid MFD save. Your current dynasty was not changed. Try exporting again or choose a different file.`
+5. Try Upload `.mfd Backup` or paste a valid backup code in a clean browser session.
+
+## Review Checklist
+
+- Did I ever wonder what to click next?
+- Did Chip help without annoying me?
+- Did decisions feel consequential?
+- Did the weekly loop stay clear after Week 1?
+- Did standings and playoff pressure matter?
+- Did trade deadline copy make the window clear?
+- Did scouting/draft feel like future roster planning, not noise?
+- Did save/load feel safe?
+- Did the game feel realistic and cinematic?
+- Did anything feel embarrassing for public release?
+
+## Ship Call
+
+Ship if no P0 appears and the first hour feels guided, stable, and worth continuing.
+
+Do not ship if save/load breaks, Week Advance breaks, Chip blocks core actions, production preview fails, or a late-season route crashes.

+# MFD Final Ship Decision
+
+Date: 2026-05-05 19:49:59 CDT
+Repo: `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD-clean-chip-recovery`
+Branch: `codex/chip-public-release-recovery`
+Starting commit: `ea1d7a2`
+Evidence folder: `.codex/MFD/evidence/final-ship-decision-20260505-193901/`
+
+Do not use, repair, clean, delete, or edit the corrupt original checkout at `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD`.
+
+## Current Recommendation
+
+Ship candidate after Kevin playtest.
+
+No P0 blockers were found in the final pass. The two known P1s were resolved or made release-safe: live Week 9 deadline UI was verified in the running app, and invalid import copy now stays calm and save-safe. The remaining risks are public-delivery chunk size warnings and deeper offseason/postseason depth, both acceptable non-blockers for this candidate.

+
+## Kevin's 45-Minute Playtest
+
+1. Start a fresh dynasty.
+2. Confirm Chip welcomes you during setup.
+3. Finish setup and land on Monday Briefing.
+4. Read Monday Briefing and Chip's first post-setup guidance.
+5. Visit Roster.
+6. Visit Depth Chart.
+7. Visit Game Plan.
+8. Advance Week 1.
+9. Confirm Chip explains what changed after the week.
+10. Visit Trade Center.
+11. Visit Cap Lab.
+12. Create a save slot.
+13. Reload the page.
+14. Continue the latest autosave.
+15. Load the manual save slot.
+16. Export a cartridge or download `.mfd`.
+17. Import the valid exported cartridge.
+18. Try invalid import text and confirm this message: `That file does not look like a valid MFD save. Your current dynasty was not changed. Try exporting again or choose a different file.`
+19. If a Week 9 fixture or dev save is provided, load it and check the live trade-deadline countdown, trade impact, and cap/future-cost copy. Do not block ship only because there is no public Week 9 jump button.
+20. Launch the Convention Demo for the Week 14 late-season path.
+21. Check Trade Center, Standings, Power Rankings, League Pulse, Records, Scouting, and Draft.
+22. Advance into the playoff sample if practical.
+23. Visit Playoff Lore and Super Bowl.
+24. Try mobile width once.
+25. Write down any moment where you ask, `What do I click next?`
+
+## Ship / Hold Checklist
+
+Ship only if:
+
+- no crash appears in the first hour;
+- save, load, export, and import all feel trustworthy;
+- `/MFD/` production preview loads;
+- Chip appears and helps without blocking play;
+- Week 1 does not leave you stuck;
+- trade, cap, standings, records, scouting, and draft routes load;
+- public copy is not embarrassing;
+- you enjoy the game enough to play again.
+
+Hold if any P0 appears: build failure, production preview failure, missing Chip when enabled, save/load/import/export failure, corrupted save state, broken Week Advance, Trade Center crash, Cap Lab crash, standings/records crash, broken `/MFD/` asset path, `SAVE_VERSION` change, save schema change, RNG/determinism change, secret exposure, push/deploy without approval, or use of the corrupt original checkout.
+
+## Known Non-Blockers
+
+- Existing Vite chunk-size warnings remain and should be watched after public traffic, not fixed in this final pass.
+- TTS and share are scaffolded but intentionally disabled by default.
+- Deeper postseason and offseason content can grow after release.
+- More Chip route/copy variants can be added after release.
+- Full mobile parity is still a later polish slice; the final pass only spot-checked phone width.
+
+## Deploy Checklist For Later
+
+Do not deploy from this pass. When Kevin approves a release:
+
+- verify the active repo is `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD-clean-chip-recovery`;
+- verify branch `codex/chip-public-release-recovery`;
+- verify the final commit list and no unexpected dirty files;
+- exclude evidence, `.mfd`, screenshots, `dist`, `node_modules`, caches, and secrets;
+- run `git diff --check`;
+- run `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 typecheck`;
+- run `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/design-system test`;
+- run `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web test`;
+- run `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/engine test`;
+- run `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 build`;
+- run `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 build`;
+- preview `/MFD/` from the flagged build;
+- confirm `manifest.json` is JSON and `/MFD/assets/...` paths resolve;
+- confirm no obvious secrets or production data are in `apps/web/dist`;
+- confirm the GitHub Pages target;
+- push only after Kevin approval;
+- deploy only after Kevin approval.
+
+## Rollback / Safety
+
+Keep the previous published game available until the new `/MFD/` smoke passes. Tag the release commit before any deploy. Before public smoke, keep at least one local `.mfd` export from the previous live build so a long-running dynasty can be recovered if a deployment has to roll back.
+
+## Final Notes
+
+Review the first 10 minutes first: setup, Monday Briefing, Chip, Game Plan, Week Advance, and Save/Load. If that loop feels clear and the final checklist stays green, the release candidate is ready to ship.

+# MFD Release Candidate Handoff
+
+Date: 2026-05-05
+Repo: `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD-clean-chip-recovery`
+Branch: `codex/chip-public-release-recovery`
+Starting commit for this rehearsal: `0eed2cf`
+
+## Release Confidence
+
+Status: ship candidate, ready for Kevin playtest.
+
+The release candidate passed baseline typecheck, design-system tests, web tests, engine tests, and build before the late-season rehearsal edits. Runtime rehearsal used Chip enabled with TTS/share disabled. No P0 blockers were found.
+
+Final ship-decision pass: ship candidate after Kevin playtest. The pass verified the live Week 9 trade-deadline countdown in the running app, fixed clean-browser invalid import copy, reran focused Dynasty Cartridge coverage, rebuilt standard and flagged production bundles, and previewed `/MFD/` from the flagged build.
+
+Do not use, repair, clean, delete, or edit the corrupt original checkout at `/Users/tkevinbigham/Documents/GitHub/MFD`.
+
+## What Changed In This Rehearsal
+
+- Added a guarded clipboard-export fallback in `DynastyCartridge` so browser clipboard permission denial does not leave an uncaught console error.
+- Added focused test coverage for the clipboard fallback message.
+- Added Kevin playtest script and this release-candidate handoff.
+- Updated `.codex/MFD` release goal and readiness matrix with late-season rehearsal evidence.
+
+## Local Run
+
+```bash
+npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 install
+VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false \
+npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web dev -- --host 127.0.0.1
+```
+
+Open the actual Vite URL, usually `http://localhost:5173/MFD/`.
+
+## Production Preview
+
+```bash
+VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false \
+npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 build
+
+VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false \
+npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web preview -- --host 127.0.0.1
+```
+
+Open the actual Vite preview URL and verify `/MFD/`.
+
+Note: `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED` is a Vite build-time flag. Set it on the build command, not only on preview.
+
+## Passed In Final Rerun
+
+- `git diff --check`
+- `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 typecheck`
+- `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/design-system test`
+- `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/web test`
+- `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 --filter @mfd/engine test`
+- `npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 build`
+- `VITE_CHIP_ENABLED=true VITE_CHIP_TTS_ENABLED=false VITE_MFD_SHARE_ENABLED=false npx --yes pnpm@9.15.9 build`
+- Focused `DynastyCartridge` test after clipboard fallback patch.
+- Production preview at `http://localhost:4173/MFD/` with Chip visible on sampled late-season routes, `/MFD/manifest.json` returning JSON, `/MFD/assets/...` paths, and no preview console warnings/errors.
+
+## Known P1/P2
+
+- P1: none open from the final ship-decision pass.
+- P2: postseason can be richer beyond playoff-lore cards and the Super Bowl placeholder.
+- P2: offseason and draft can support a deeper playable package after release.
+- P2: TTS/share polish and more Chip variants remain behind later slices.
+- P2: larger bundle splitting remains deferred; current Vite chunk-size warnings are existing and should be revisited only if public delivery metrics require it.
+
+## Final Ship-Decision Package
+
+- Final doc: `docs/release/MFD_FINAL_SHIP_DECISION.md`
+- Playtest script: `docs/release/KEVIN_PLAYTEST_SCRIPT.md`
+- Readiness matrix: `.codex/MFD/public-release-readiness-matrix.md`
+- Evidence folder: `.codex/MFD/evidence/final-ship-decision-20260505-193901/`
+
+## Push / Deploy
+
+No push performed.
+No deploy performed.
+No production secrets touched.
+No `SAVE_VERSION` or save schema change.
