Summary

Fixes a parse-fidelity defect on M'Baku, Jabari Chieftain.

Issue: Second trigger drops the intervening-if "if that player is the monarch" (condition: null), so +1/+1 and trample apply on any attack against an opponent regardless of monarch status (self-flagged SwallowedClause/Condition_If).

Verification

  • export CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 (re-exported in every shell invocation; CARGO_TARGET_DIR left unset, in-repo G: target/ used warm) — clean
  • cargo fmt --all — clean (exit 0, no reformat churn; no .rs files touched afterward)
  • ./scripts/check-parser-combinators.sh (Gate A) — PASS (exit 0) — Gate G PASS + Gate A PASS head=4e807fa2a base=9169d8f44. NOTE: first run FAILED exit 1 — not a skip. PATH python3 is the WindowsApps stub (exit 126 Permission denied), but command -v python3 succeeds, so the script tripped its Family-D self-test guard and aborted BEFORE families A/B/C/E/F ran. Found real python3 at /c/msys64/mingw64/bin/python3 (3.9.7); detect_cross_product_alts_tests.py passes 10/10 under it. Re-ran gate with that interpreter resolved first -> full PASS with Family D actually executing. Checked-in script NOT modified; PATH adjusted for one invocation only.
  • cargo clippy -p phase-engine --all-targets -- -D warnings — clean (exit 0, zero warnings)
  • cargo test -p phase-engine — clean (exit 0) — 24,277 passed / 0 failed / 8 ignored across 5 binaries (lib 19,215; 21; 9; integration 5,032; 0). No tests skipped. Includes 2 new parser tests (mbaku_attack_trigger_keeps_monarch_intervening_if_bound_to_defending_player, mbaku_end_step_trigger_binds_target_opponent_onto_become_monarch_cr_115_1) and all 7 integration tests in mbaku_attacked_monarch_intervening_if.rs. Required 2 background runs: suite runtime (~13min integration alone) exceeds the 10-min foreground cap.
  • cargo export-cards data --output data/card-data.json --stats — clean (exit 0) — 35,009 cards, 32,161 fully implemented (91.9%), 2,848 with unimplemented effects
  • cp data/card-data.json client/public/card-data.json — clean — both files 98,713,955 bytes, verified fresh; client copy confirmed to carry the new IsMonarch{DefendingPlayer} + BecomeMonarch{target:Opponent} AST, ruling out a stale-input false negative in the audit
  • cargo coverage — clean (exit 0) — M'Baku, Jabari Chieftain supported:true gap_count:0; both triggers supported, intervening-if rendered as "that player is monarch" (not swallowed)
  • cargo semantic-audit — clean (exit 0) — 32,766 cards audited, 257 with findings; ZERO findings for M'Baku, Jabari Chieftain (grep of both semantic-audit.json and semantic-audit.md returns no Baku match)
  • Oracle text verification (authoritative source) — clean — Scryfall API returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, so verified against repo's own MTGJSON AtomicCards.json. Card text matches the test file's MBAKU_ORACLE constant verbatim: {1}{G}{G} Legendary Creature - Human Noble Warrior 4/3, "At the beginning of your end step, if there is no monarch, target opponent becomes the monarch. / Whenever a creature attacks one of your opponents, if that player is the monarch, that creature gets +1/+1 and gains trample until end of turn."
  • Manual AST-vs-Oracle diff (required beyond coverage:true) — clean — Ability 1: mode Phase/phase End + constraint OnlyDuringYourTurn ("your end step"), condition NoMonarch ("if there is no monarch"), effect BecomeMonarch{target: Typed{controller: Opponent}} ("target opponent becomes the monarch") - designation goes to the declared target, not ability.controller. Ability 2: mode Attacks, valid_card Creature, valid_target Typed{controller: Opponent} ("one of your opponents"), attack_target_filter Player, condition IsMonarch{player: DefendingPlayer} - the "that player" anaphor correctly bound to the ATTACKED player per CR 508.5, not the attacker; effect grants AddPower 1 / AddToughness 1 / AddKeyword Trample to TriggeringSource with duration UntilEndOfTurn. No wrong QuantityRef/scope/enter_with_counters semantics found.
  • CR citation spot-check vs docs/MagicCompRules.txt — clean — 310.8d, 508.5, 508.5a, 725.1, 725.3, 603.4, 109.5, 115.1 all present. Confirmed CR 310.9 has no lettered subrules, validating the diff's correction of a pre-existing bogus 310.9d citation to 310.8d in combat.rs.

Scope Expansion

Scope grew per the approved plan from the parser gap to three coupled units: the class-level parser subject axis (Unit B), the CR 508.5 defending-player anchor consolidation collapsing 4 duplicate resolvers into 1 (Unit A, required for correct runtime binding), and the attack-trigger anaphor rebind (Unit C); also corrected the nonexistent CR 310.9d to CR 310.8d at 4 pre-existing sites, and deliberately did NOT regenerate data/card-data.json or integration_cards.json.gz because doing so would sweep in 43 and 24 unrelated drift cards respectively from other agents' landed commits.

Validation Failures

None blocking: all verification gates passed (tests, coverage supported:true gap:0, semantic-audit clean). Note: the automated review loop was capped before returning fully clean, so some non-blocking reviewer suggestions may remain unaddressed.

CI Failures

None.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds explicit player scopes to monarch conditions and target filters to monarch effects. It centralizes defending-player resolution across combat and trigger evaluation, updates Oracle parsing and analysis, and adds parser, engine, and integration coverage.

Changes

Monarch AST and parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scoped monarch contracts and lowering
crates/engine/src/types/ability.rs, crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_*, crates/mtgish-import/src/convert/*
IsMonarch stores a PlayerScope. BecomeMonarch stores a TargetFilter. Oracle parsing preserves controller, scoped-player, and targeted-opponent subjects.
Monarch effect resolution
crates/engine/src/game/effects/*, crates/engine/src/game/triggers.rs
Monarch resolution uses the declared target. Bare monarch effects explicitly target the controller.

Combat and runtime evaluation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Centralized defending-player resolution
crates/engine/src/game/combat.rs, crates/engine/src/game/filter.rs, crates/engine/src/game/quantity.rs, crates/engine/src/game/trigger_matchers.rs
A shared CR 508.5 resolver handles attack events, planeswalkers, battles, combat latches, and live combat fallbacks.
Scoped condition evaluation
crates/engine/src/game/triggers.rs, crates/engine/src/game/layers.rs
Trigger checks resolve declared player scopes and reject unresolved designation anchors before boolean evaluation.
Analysis and policy updates
crates/engine/src/game/ability_rw.rs, crates/engine/src/game/ability_scan.rs, crates/engine/src/game/coverage.rs, crates/phase-ai/src/policies/*
Read/write analysis, scanning, coverage extraction, and effect classification process structured monarch variants and scoped players.

Integration validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
M’Baku monarch interactions
crates/engine/tests/integration/mbaku_attacked_monarch_intervening_if.rs, crates/engine/tests/integration/main.rs
Integration tests cover targeted monarch selection, attack-specific monarch checks, intervening-if rechecks, and per-attacker buffs.
Defender and Battle coverage
crates/engine/tests/integration/rules/battle.rs, crates/engine/src/game/combat.rs
Tests cover Battle protectors, protector routing, defender precedence, planeswalker targets, and unbound evaluations.
Existing fixture updates
crates/engine/src/game/functioning_abilities.rs, crates/engine/src/game/effects/vote.rs, crates/engine/tests/integration/master_of_ceremonies.rs
Existing monarch fixtures construct explicit controller scopes and targets.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 50afd

Maintainer update: merged current main into this branch at 8792da7bdf28afcfe9df8e69810e0d30cde61ed8 to resolve maintainer-caused staleness while preserving the contributor commit. The implementation review of the prior head was clean; this new merge head still needs its current-head required CI and its parse-diff sticky artifact before approval/enqueue. I will recheck those exact conditions on the next sweep.

20393-20417: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Drive the gate table from an exhaustive match over AttackTargetFilter.

The positive and negative sets are hand-written arrays. When a new AttackTargetFilter variant is added, this test still compiles and passes, and the new variant gets no rebind decision. That is the case the codebase avoids elsewhere with exhaustive matches.

Classify each variant through an exhaustive match helper, then iterate over the full variant list. The compiler then forces a decision for every new attack scope.

♻️ Suggested shape
fn expects_rebind(filter: &AttackTargetFilter) -> bool {
    match filter {
        AttackTargetFilter::Player
        | AttackTargetFilter::PlayerOrPlaneswalker
        | AttackTargetFilter::Monarch => true,
        AttackTargetFilter::Planeswalker
        | AttackTargetFilter::Battle
        | AttackTargetFilter::Owner
        | AttackTargetFilter::OwnerOrPlaneswalker
        | AttackTargetFilter::PlayerOrPermanents => false,
    }
}

As per coding guidelines: "exhaustive matches over wildcard defaults" and "wildcard _ match arms where the enum is known and an exhaustive match would let the compiler catch missing variants".

Maintainer update: I pushed the current-head fixup d17029d960a8ee58f5bd87aa69ce12888cbc8ce9, resolving the three remaining review findings: incorrect CR citations, a non-discriminating M'Baku effect-body assertion, and missing runtime coverage of the controller-targeted BecomeMonarch vote outcome. The branch now needs current-head CI and a SHA-bound parse-diff artifact before approval/enqueue; I will recheck both on the next sweep.

Maintainer fixup pushed at current head 50afde41009e7392d67c56939118cb06a5e2088e.

This supersedes the prior hold: required CI and the <!-- coverage-parse-diff --> sticky artifact were produced for an earlier head and must regenerate for this exact head before review can continue. The fix only aligns the integration-test helper parameter with TieResolution::Breaker(u8).

HOLD for current head 50afde41009e7392d67c56939118cb06a5e2088e: required CI is still in progress and the SHA-bound <!-- coverage-parse-diff --> sticky artifact has not yet regenerated for this head. No contributor action is requested; I will recheck those exact conditions on the next sweep, then resume review/approval-enqueue if they clear.

Approved — the current head is ready for merge-when-ready.

✅ Clean

  • crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_trigger.rs preserves M’Baku’s intervening-if as the defending-player monarch predicate; the SHA-bound parse-diff reports only that one intended trigger-condition change.
  • crates/engine/tests/integration/mbaku_attacked_monarch_intervening_if.rs exercises the attacked-player and targeted-monarch outcomes through the engine pipeline; the current master_of_ceremonies test covers the controller-targeted winner path.
  • Required CI is green on 50afde41009e7392d67c56939118cb06a5e2088e; prior CodeRabbit findings are resolved or non-blocking and refuted against this head.

Recommendation: merge when ready.
