- CLAUDE.md: phase line moved to "Phase 1 deployed"; key files lists
the new bot module, game-end extraction, and selfplay harness.
- DECISIONS.md: new "Phase 1 implementation outcomes" subsection records
the CasualBrain-engine reversal, the FEN-vanilla-only invariant, why
blind keeps heuristic, and the bot-slot token randomization. The
earlier "Stockfish deferred" entry is partially superseded.
- .claude/handoffs/: handoff document for the next session.
- DECISIONS.md: in-game chat (player↔player and human↔Gemma) deferred
indefinitely. Blind-mode chat is a side channel that defeats the
moderator-vocabulary security boundary; chat with Gemma leaks belief
state mid-game. Resolvable but expensive — revisit only on demand.
- Spec: same deferral noted in "Out of scope".
- New plan: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-28-ai-player-phase-1-casual.md
— 13 tasks, 80 sub-steps. Phase 1 only (Casual bot end-to-end). Phase 2
(Recon) gets its own plan once Phase 1 outcomes inform Recon's target.

Updates CLAUDE.md "Current State" + "Key files" to point at the new spec.
Adds DECISIONS.md "AI / computer player" section (11 settled decisions).
Strikes through the prior "Client-side AI / hint generation — out of scope"
row with a "partially superseded" note: the reversal applies only to the
human-vs-AI path. Adds 7 new Deferred/Rejected rows for AI-feature scope.
Handoff at .claude/handoffs/2026-04-28-170713-ai-player-spec.md captures
session state for the next pickup (writing-plans → Phase 1 implementation).
