The opponent-facing PlayActions knownList now carries the engine-RESOLVED play-time cost (KnownCardEntry.cost), sourced from the headless shadow engine's PlayedCost on the just-resolved card. This closes the spellboost cost-desync BY CONSTRUCTION: the engine already knows the true discounted cost (spellboost + board modifiers folded in), so no bookkeeping is needed. - DTO: add non-nullable cost to KnownCardEntry (prod emits cost 45/45). - SessionBattleEngine.PlayedCardCost(seat, idx, fallback): finds the resolved card by engine Index across in-play/cemetery/hand zones and returns PlayedCost (captured by PlayCard at resolution == discounted Cost), degrading to fallback when the engine is not owned/ready. - PlayActionsHandler sources the played card's cost from ctx.Engine (ShadowIngest already resolved the play before the handler runs). Spellboost-map plumbing stays for now; Task 6 (M-HC-3b) retires it. - Validation: engine-read test (charge-seeded reducer 101314020: base 5, cost 5/1/0 at charge 0/4/5) + handler-emit test asserting knownList[0].cost == 1 (discounted, not base 5) with non-vacuity. Board-dependent (when_evolve_other) case deferred to M-HC-4 (evolve not yet headless); cost is read off the resolved engine so board modifiers are captured by construction once their ops resolve. - Harness: promote alt vanilla follower id (101211120) to AltVanillaFollowerId.

SVSim.BattleNode
Socket.IO node-server emulation for in-battle real-time traffic — the second of prod's 4-server
topology. Handles Matched / BattleStart / Deal / per-action PlayActions / Echo /
TurnEnd between a client and a server-side opponent, for TK2 PvP and AI rank battles.
Documentation lives in the outer repo
This project's canonical reference is a single hub doc in the outer SVSim repo (this directory is an inner git repo, so the doc isn't tracked alongside the code):
→ docs/battle-node.md (from the SVSim root) — architecture, the dispatch matrix by battle
type, connect handshake + crypto, BattleFinish wire-result semantics, SIO/EIO event coverage,
reliability (pubSeq/playSeq/Gungnir), wire-format gotchas, where-to-extend, the manual smoke
walkthrough, and the consolidated open-items list.
Relative path from here: ../../../docs/battle-node.md.
Detailed per-URI wire shapes are in docs/api-spec/in-battle/; the hub links into them.
Keep docs/battle-node.md updated in the same change whenever you alter node behavior.
