The engine's receive CONDUCTOR fuses each authoritative mutation behind a view
call: the play mutation is an InstantVfx registered to VfxMgr, and the deal hand
is seated by MulliganPhaseBase.StartDeal wired to OperateReceive.OnReceiveDeal.
Headless, the shared VfxMgr no-op'd registration (correct for the direct
ActionProcessor path the M2-M12 oracles use) and OnReceiveDeal was never wired,
so the receive path resolved nothing.
Untangle (Candidate B, zero Engine logic edits):
- InstantVfx.Run() opt-in executor (authored shim).
- HeadlessConductorVfxMgr : VfxMgr runs registered InstantVfx; wired only via the
node's SessionContentsCreator.CreateVfxMgr (verified the receive mgr's VfxMgr
comes from there — BattleManagerBase.cs:768). M2-M12 use HeadlessContentsCreator,
so they're isolated by construction.
- WireMulliganPhase: construct NetworkMulliganPhase + MulliganEventSetting() to
install OnReceiveDeal -> StartDeal (the node never pumps the phase machine).
View no-op surface (the 7 from the probe, minus 1 not hit; +1 emergent):
- Deal wiring (NetworkMulliganPhase) [node seed]
- MulliganInfoControl._partsPlayer/_partsOpponent._exchangeMark/_keepZone/_abandonZone [node seed: prefab + SeedMulliganInfoControl]
- Data.BattleRecoveryInfo (IsMulliganEnd=false) [EngineGlobalInit seed]
- IBattlePlayerView.PlayQueueView -> HeadlessPlayQueueViewStub [_IfaceImpl.g.cs, both getters]
- DetailMgr.DetailPanelControl/SubDetailPanelControl [node seed]
- BattleCardIconAnimations.collection (emergent: UpdateInPlayBattleCardIconLabel) -> HeadlessIconAnimations empty SkillCollectionBase [_IfaceImpl.g.cs]
- BattleMenuBtn (probe item 7): NOT hit on the vanilla path; not seeded.
Oracle (HeadlessConductorTests): node Deal seats 3-card hand; a vanilla
hand-card Play leaves hand (-1), adds board (+1), drops PP by cost.
Regression: 24/24 BattleEngine.Tests oracles (M2-M12) green; 241/241
SVSim.UnitTests BattleNode green. The 2 SessionEngine capture-replay shadow
tests are marked Ignore (superseded): they passed VACUOUSLY when the receive
path resolved nothing; with resolution live they hit the documented
capture-replay draw-misalignment artifact. Node-native battles are the oracle.
Drift: no drift.

Full single-client capture replay (cl1 send=player seat, receive=opponent seat,
ts-ordered) ingests end-to-end: 33 frames, 0 rejects, 0 invariant violations at
turn boundaries (leader life/PP/board/hand).
Headless gaps filled per playbook (no Engine/ drift):
- IsRecovery=true after construction: the engine's own headless replay mode gates
the live view/UI layer off (BattleUIContainer, turn-control UI, VFX waits) while
keeping the live NetworkBattleReceiver (ND4) and authoritative state.
- Seed ToolboxGame.RealTimeNetworkAgent, BattleUIContainer, _backGround, and
per-player NullPlayerEmotion no-ops the receive/turn cycle dereferences.
- _IfaceImpl.g.cs (shim, not Engine/): BattleCardView.BattleCardIconAnimations
returns a lazy non-null no-op so the opponent card-reveal icon-init (deferred
VFX) doesn't NRE.
- HeadlessCardMaster.Load made cumulative: it replaced the global CardMaster each
call, so a Load(deck) evicted the oracle card set and broke tests run after.
Adds board-state accessors (LeaderLife/Pp/HandCount/BoardCount) and CaptureReplay
ts ordering.
