docs: CHANGELOG + SESSION_HANDOFF refresh for v0.14.0

CHANGELOG gains a [0.14.0] section covering 18 commits since v0.13.0
across three threads: the v0.13.0-era UX candidates that missed the
v0.13.0 tag (theme thumbnails, daily-challenge calendar, Time Attack
auto-save, per-mode bests, time-bonus slider), Quat's three bug
fixes from a smoke-test round (multi-card lift validation, softlock
detection, deal-tween information leak), and the major new replay
pipeline (record → persist → upload → web viewer with a new
solitaire_wasm crate).

The bottom-of-file compare links thread the new tag into the chain.
Test count updated to 1134.

SESSION_HANDOFF rewritten as the session 9 / post-v0.14.0 doc.
The session 8 changelog table is preserved alongside a new "v0.14.0
shipped" rollup. The next-round candidates list seeds six fresh
ideas (deferred Bevy audio trim, solver toggle, in-engine replay
playback, per-replay history, solver-driven hints, "won via
replay" achievement). Resume prompt asks A–F about smoke-test,
audio trim, solver toggle, in-engine playback, fresh UX, or
packaging.

+## [0.14.0] — 2026-05-02
+
+Two threads land in v0.14.0: the second half of the post-v0.12.0 UX
+candidate list (theme thumbnails, daily-challenge calendar, Time Attack
+auto-save, per-mode bests, time-bonus multiplier) plus a **major new
+feature** — the replay pipeline (record → upload → web viewer). Three
+Quat-reported bugs from a smoke-test round shipped alongside.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Theme-picker thumbnails** in Settings → Cosmetic. Each theme chip
+  renders a small Ace-of-Spades + back preview pair via the existing
+  `rasterize_svg` path. Cached per theme in a new
+  `ThemeThumbnailCache`. Themes that lack a preview SVG fall back to
+  a transparent placeholder rather than crashing.
+- **14-day daily-challenge calendar** in the Profile modal. Horizontal
+  row of dots showing the trailing two weeks; today's dot is ringed
+  in `ACCENT_PRIMARY`, completed days fill `STATE_SUCCESS`, missed
+  days fill `BG_ELEVATED`. Caption above the row reads "Current
+  streak: N · Longest: M".
+- **Time Attack session auto-save** to `<data_dir>/time_attack_session.json`,
+  atomic .tmp + rename. 30-second auto-save while a session is active,
+  plus on `AppExit`. Sessions whose 10-minute window expired in real
+  time while the app was closed are discarded on load. Classic, Zen,
+  and Challenge already auto-saved correctly via `game_state.json` —
+  Time Attack was the only mode missing session-level persistence.
+- **Per-mode best-score and fastest-win readouts** in the Stats screen.
+  `StatsSnapshot` gains six `#[serde(default)]` fields (Classic / Zen
+  / Challenge × best_score + fastest_win_seconds). Stats screen renders
+  a "Per-mode bests" section between the primary cell grid and
+  progression. Lifetime totals continue to roll all modes together.
+- **Time-bonus multiplier slider** in Settings → Gameplay (0.0–2.0,
+  0.1 steps, default 1.0, "Off" label at zero). Cosmetic only —
+  multiplies the time-bonus shown in the win modal but does NOT
+  affect achievement unlock thresholds (those still use the raw
+  unmultiplied score).
+- **Win-replay recording + storage.** Every move during a successful
+  game appends to a `RecordingReplay` resource; on `GameWonEvent`
+  the recording freezes into a `Replay` (seed + draw_mode + mode +
+  score + time + ordered move list) and persists to
+  `<data_dir>/latest_replay.json` atomically. Single-slot — overwrites
+  on every win.
+- **"Watch replay" button** in the Stats overlay. Shows the latest
+  win's caption and surfaces a button that loads the replay (button
+  fires an `InfoToastEvent` describing the replay; full in-engine
+  playback is deferred to a future build).
+- **Replay upload + fetch endpoints** on the server. `POST /api/replays`
+  accepts a `Replay` JSON; `GET /api/replays/:id` returns it. JWT-gated
+  with the existing auth middleware. Engine uploads winning replays
+  automatically when the player has cloud sync configured.
+- **`solitaire_wasm` crate** — new workspace member compiling
+  replay-relevant `solitaire_core` types to WebAssembly so a
+  browser can re-execute a replay client-side. No-std-friendly
+  surface; `wasm-bindgen` glue.
+- **Web replay viewer** served from the Solitaire server.
+  `GET /replays/:id` returns HTML + CSS + the wasm bundle that
+  fetches the replay JSON, rasterises a deal from the seed, and
+  animates the recorded moves.
+- **Card flight animations on the web side** so the browser viewer
+  reads as a real game replay rather than a static dump.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Multi-card lift validation.** `solitaire_core::rules::is_valid_tableau_sequence`
+  rejects a moved stack whose adjacent cards don't form a descending
+  alternating-colour run. Previously a player could lift any
+  multi-card selection and drop it as long as the bottom landed
+  legally. Wired into `move_cards`'s tableau-destination branch.
+- **Softlock detection.** `has_legal_moves` rewritten to walk every
+  potential move source (every stock card, every waste card, the
+  face-up top of every tableau column) and check it against every
+  foundation and every tableau. Previously the heuristic
+  early-returned `true` whenever stock had cards — players got
+  stuck in unwinnable end-states with no end-game screen.
+  `GameOverScreen` now actually fires for true softlocks. Quat's
+  exact reproduction case is pinned by a new test.
+- **Deal-tween information leak.** New-game now snaps every card
+  sprite to the stock pile position before writing
+  `StateChangedEvent`, so all 52 cards animate from a single point
+  during the deal. Previously the sprites started from their
+  previous-game positions, briefly revealing the prior deal.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- `SESSION_HANDOFF.md` refreshed for the Quat smoke-test round
+  including investigation findings on solver decisions and
+  dependency duplicates.
+
+### Stats
+
+- 1134 passing tests (was 1053 at v0.13.0 close).
+- Zero clippy warnings under `--workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`.

 ## Where we are
 
-Post-v0.12.0 the handoff listed six "next-round candidates" — every one shipped plus two code-review fixes. v0.13.0 was prepared but not pushed. Then session 8 ran a smoke-test pass with Quat that surfaced four real bugs and two investigation tasks; three of the four bugs landed today, the fourth was downstream of #2 and is now resolved.
+v0.14.0 is the largest release since the card-theme system. Three threads land together:
 
-Direction is open.
+1. **The remaining v0.13.0-era UX candidates** — theme thumbnails, daily-challenge calendar, Time Attack auto-save, per-mode bests, time-bonus multiplier slider.
+2. **Quat smoke-test bug fixes** — multi-card move validation, softlock detection, deal-tween information leak.
+3. **The replay pipeline** — record on win, persist to disk, upload to server, view in browser via a new `solitaire_wasm` crate. The biggest single feature since the card-theme system.
+
+The card-flight web animations and replay E2E test coverage close out the pipeline.

 | Area | Commit | What landed |
 |---|---|---|
-| Font fix | `17f9b51` | Code-review fix: bundle FiraMono via `include_bytes!()` in both `font_plugin` and `svg_loader`; drop `load_system_fonts`, drop the lenient resolver, drop the CSS-generic fallbacks. New `bundled_font_resolver` always returns the single bundled face. Parse failure aborts with a clear error. |
+| Theme thumbnails | `ba527de` | Each Settings → Cosmetic theme chip renders an Ace + back preview pair via `rasterize_svg`. Cached per theme. Missing-SVG themes show a transparent placeholder rather than crashing. |
-| sccache removal | `13dd44b` | Code-review fix: deleted `.cargo/config.toml` and the `.cargo` directory. Plain `cargo build` works without per-project setup. |
+| Daily-challenge calendar | `1a10476` | 14-dot horizontal calendar in the Profile modal. Today is ringed, completed days fill `STATE_SUCCESS`, missed days fill `BG_ELEVATED`. Caption: "Current streak: N · Longest: M". `PlayerProgress` gains `daily_challenge_history` (capped at 365) and `daily_challenge_longest_streak`. |
-| Wave 1 bundle | `ddc8f27` | **Tooltip-delay slider** in Settings → Gameplay (0.0–1.5 s, 0.1 s steps, "Instant" label at zero). **Win-streak fire animation** at thresholds [3, 5, 10] via new `WinStreakMilestoneEvent`. **Score-breakdown reveal on win modal** with per-row stagger (Base / Time bonus / No-undo / Multiplier / Total), respects `AnimSpeed::Instant`. |
+| Time Attack auto-save | `0001432` | New sibling `time_attack_session.json` next to `game_state.json`. Atomic .tmp + rename. 30 s auto-save while active + on `AppExit`. Sessions whose 10-min window expired in real time while the app was closed are discarded on load. |
-| Card-back theming | `7ed4f2c` | The active theme's `back.svg` now actually drives the face-down sprite. Legacy `back_N.png` picker remains as a fallback for themes without a back; Settings caption surfaces when the override is in effect. |
+| Per-mode bests | `3984231` | StatsSnapshot gains six `#[serde(default)]` fields (Classic / Zen / Challenge × best_score + fastest_win_seconds). Stats screen renders a "Per-mode bests" section. Lifetime totals continue to roll all modes together. |
-| Drag-with-keyboard | `a0fc0d2` | Tab → Enter → arrows → Enter completes a move without a mouse. New `KeyboardDragState` resource; mutual exclusion with mouse drag via `KEYBOARD_DRAG_TOUCH_ID` sentinel. Help + onboarding hotkey lists updated. |
+| Time-bonus slider | `89c51ab` | Settings → Gameplay slider 0.0–2.0, default 1.0, "Off" at zero. Multiplies the time-bonus shown in the win modal. Cosmetic only — does NOT affect achievement unlock thresholds. |
-| Right-click radial | `b37f0cb` | Hold RMB on a face-up card → ring of icons at the cursor, one per legal destination; release over an icon → `MoveRequestEvent`. New `RadialMenuPlugin`. Help controls reference gains a "Mouse" section. |
 
-## Session 8 (shipped 2026-05-02 post-Quat)
+### Quat smoke-test bug fixes
-
-Quat playtested current `master` and reported 4 bugs + 2 investigation items. Bug #3 turned out to be downstream of bug #2 — the `GameOverScreen` and `WinSummaryOverlay` modals already exist with new-game buttons; the softlock screen just never spawned because the old `has_legal_moves` returned `true` whenever stock had cards. With #2 fixed, the existing screen will fire for Quat's case. Smoke-test verification on the player side is the last step.
 
 | Area | Commit | What landed |
 |---|---|---|
-| Move validation (#1) | `f1aeb24` | `solitaire_core::rules::is_valid_tableau_sequence(&[Card]) -> bool` checks every adjacent pair in a moved stack descends one rank with alternating colour. Wired into `move_cards`'s tableau-destination branch. Closes the bug where a player could lift an arbitrary multi-card selection and drop it as long as the bottom landed legally. One focused test (single-card / valid-run / same-colour / rank-gap). |
+| Move validation (#1) | `f1aeb24` | `solitaire_core::rules::is_valid_tableau_sequence(&[Card]) -> bool` checks every adjacent pair in a moved stack descends one rank with alternating colour. Wired into `move_cards`. Closes the bug where any multi-card lift could be dropped as long as the bottom landed legally. |
-| Deal-tween leak (#4) | `3eabc14` | `handle_new_game` now snaps every existing card sprite to the stock pile's position before writing `StateChangedEvent`. The downstream slide tween in `card_plugin` reads the stock position as its source, so all 52 cards animate from a single point — reads as "dealing from the deck" with no information leak. Gated on `Option<Res<LayoutResource>>` for headless tests. |
+| Deal-tween leak (#4) | `3eabc14` | New-game snaps every card sprite to the stock pile position before writing `StateChangedEvent`, so all 52 cards animate from a single deck point during the deal. Previously sprites started from previous-game positions, briefly revealing the prior deal. |
-| Softlock detection (#2) | `2716472` | `has_legal_moves` rewritten: replaces the early-return-on-non-empty-stock heuristic with a single pass over every card that could ever become a move source (every stock card, every waste card, the face-up top of every tableau column). Each is checked against every foundation and every tableau. Returns `true` only if some card anywhere can land somewhere — otherwise the player is genuinely stuck no matter how many recycles. Fresh-game test renamed; new test reproduces Quat's exact case (foundation 0 at 10, stock holds Hearts 2–5, no legal landing). |
+| Softlock detection (#2) | `2716472` | `has_legal_moves` rewritten: walks every potential move source (every stock card, every waste card, the face-up top of every tableau column) against every foundation and every tableau. Previous heuristic returned `true` whenever stock had cards, hiding genuine softlocks. `GameOverScreen` now actually fires for true softlocks. |
-| End-game screen (#3) | — | Resolved as downstream of #2. Verified `GameOverScreen` (game_plugin.rs:636) shows "No more moves available" + final score + Undo + New Game buttons; `WinSummaryOverlay` (win_summary_plugin.rs) shows the breakdown + Play Again. Both pre-existed; the softlock path just wasn't being reached. |
+| End-game screen (#3) | — | Resolved as downstream of #2. The pre-existing `GameOverScreen` and `WinSummaryOverlay` already cover the close-out paths; the softlock screen just never spawned because the old `has_legal_moves` lied. |
 
-### Investigation findings
+### Replay pipeline (the major feature)
 
-**Solver / unwinnable-deals decision (Quat report):** still open — needs your call. Three options Quat outlined: (a) accept some deals are unwinnable, (b) run a solver at deal-time and only ship winnable layouts, (c) offer a "winnable deals only" mode. (b) is the modern-Solitaire standard but adds a dependency or hand-rolled solver (~500–1500 LOC). (c) is the lightest middle ground — keep classic deals available, add a Settings toggle. Recommendation: defer until other UX work settles; doesn't block any release.
+| Area | Commit | What landed |
+|---|---|---|
+| Replay storage | `42535f5` | `solitaire_data::replay::Replay` (seed + draw_mode + mode + score + time + recorded date + ordered move list) and atomic save/load helpers under `<data_dir>/latest_replay.json`. Schema v1; `load` returns None for any other version. |
+| Engine recording | `57d1c58` | `RecordingReplay` resource + `ReplayPath` settings. Every successful `MoveRequestEvent` / `DrawRequestEvent` appends to recording; `GameWonEvent` freezes the recording into a `Replay` and persists. Undo intentionally not recorded. New game clears the recording. |
+| Stats button | `d9f36bf` | Stats overlay surfaces a "Latest win:" caption + "Watch replay" button. Loads from disk via `LatestReplayResource`. (Full in-engine playback deferred — button currently fires an `InfoToastEvent` describing the replay.) |
+| Server upload + fetch | `93182fa` | `POST /api/replays` accepts a `Replay` JSON; `GET /api/replays/:id` returns it. JWT-gated. SQL migration for the new `replays` table. |
+| Engine sync | `23c9704` | Engine uploads winning replays automatically when the player has cloud sync configured. Re-uses the existing JWT/refresh-token flow. |
+| WASM crate | `5bed43e` | New workspace member `solitaire_wasm` compiles replay-relevant `solitaire_core` types to WebAssembly so a browser can re-execute a replay client-side. `wasm-bindgen` glue. |
+| Web viewer | `07b8ecd` | `GET /replays/:id` returns HTML + CSS + the wasm bundle. Browser fetches the replay JSON, rasterises a deal from the seed, and animates the recorded moves. |
+| E2E coverage | `3081505` | Server tests covering the full upload → fetch round-trip via `axum::test`. |
+| Web flight anim | `1fcd032` | Card-flight tweens on the web side so the browser viewer reads as a real game replay rather than a static dump. |
 
-**Dependency duplicates (Quat report — 1014 deps):** the biggest single bloat is the audio stack split. Bevy's default features pull `bevy_audio → rodio → cpal 0.15 + alsa 0.9 + symphonia ⨯N codecs`, while the project actually uses **kira** for sound (`cpal 0.17 + alsa 0.10`). Disabling Bevy's default `bevy_audio` feature would eliminate 20+ transitive crates including the rodio + symphonia chain. Other duplicates are minor (bitflags 1.x via `png` is build-tooling only; multiple hashbrown majors are common in the Bevy/wgpu ecosystem and not actionable). Recommendation: a one-line `default-features = false` swap on the workspace `bevy =` line, then re-enable explicitly the features the engine uses (`render`, `bevy_winit`, `2d`, `bevy_window`, `png`, `bevy_text`, `bevy_ui`, `bevy_log`, `bevy_asset`, `default_font`, `bevy_state`, `webgpu`/`webgl2` if targeting wasm). Worth ~50 fewer crates compiled. Defer until the active feature work settles so churn doesn't conflict.
+## Open punch list
 
-## Open punch list — release prep
+### Release prep
+1. **Smoke-test on the alex machine** after pulling — confirm Quat's three bug fixes hold up in real gameplay, and try the new replay button + web viewer end-to-end.
+2. **Desktop packaging** per `ARCHITECTURE.md §17`. The Arch PKGBUILD exists in `/home/manage/solitaire-quest-pkgbuild/` (separate repo). Pending: app icon, macOS `.icns` + notarisation cert, Windows `.ico` + Authenticode cert, AppImage recipe.
 
-1. **Push** the unpushed feature commits to origin (5 still unpushed: `b37f0cb`, `a0fc0d2`, `7ed4f2c`, `ddc8f27`, `13dd44b`/`17f9b51` — those last two were on the v0.13.0 round, never pushed; verify with `git log --oneline origin/master..HEAD` after committing replay).
+### UX iteration (next-round candidates)
-2. **Roll v0.13.0 + replay + bug fixes into v0.14.0** rather than tagging two close releases. The bug fixes alone aren't a feature release; bundle them with the replay feature when it lands.
-3. **Desktop packaging** per `ARCHITECTURE.md §17`. The Arch PKGBUILD exists in `/home/manage/solitaire-quest-pkgbuild/` (separate repo). Pending: app icon, macOS `.icns` + notarisation cert, Windows `.ico` + Authenticode cert, AppImage recipe.
-4. **Smoke-test the bug fixes** on the alex machine after pulling: confirm (a) tableau-to-tableau invalid-stack moves are now rejected, (b) the new-game deal animates from a single deck position with no per-card origin leak, (c) softlock with unplayable stock now spawns the GameOverScreen.
 
-## Open punch list — UX iteration (next-round candidates)
+- **Solver-at-deal toggle** (Quat investigation #1, still deferred): add a Settings → Gameplay toggle "Winnable deals only" rather than baking solver-only into every deal. Lightest middle ground.
-
+- **Disable Bevy's default audio feature** (Quat investigation #2, still deferred): one-line `default-features = false` swap on the workspace `bevy =` line, re-enable explicitly the features the engine uses (`render`, `bevy_winit`, `2d`, `bevy_window`, `png`, `bevy_text`, `bevy_ui`, `bevy_log`, `bevy_asset`, `default_font`, `bevy_state`). Drops ~50 transitive crates including the rodio + symphonia stack the project doesn't use (kira handles audio).
-Several v0.13.0-era candidates have already shipped to master since the v0.13.0 doc commit: **daily-challenge calendar** (`1a10476`), **card-art thumbnails in the theme picker** (`ba527de`), **auto-save in Time Attack** (`0001432`). Replay is **WIP in the working tree** — `solitaire_data/src/replay.rs` plus modifications across stats/settings/win-summary plugins. Not yet committed.
+- **In-engine replay playback** — promote the "Watch replay" button from a stub toast to a real playback overlay that re-runs the recorded moves with `CardAnimation` tweens. The wasm crate already proves the playback math; the in-engine version reuses the same execute logic against the live game state.
-
+- **Per-replay history** — currently single-slot at `latest_replay.json`. A "best replay per mode" bucket or a recent-N rolling list would let players revisit notable wins.
-Fresh candidates not yet started:
+- **Solver-driven hint system** — extend the existing hint toggle so a deal-time solver provides higher-quality hints (currently a heuristic). Requires the solver from the toggle work above.
-
+- **Achievement: "won via replay path"** — track when a player wins a deal whose previously-saved replay also won the same deal. Mostly fun; trivial scope.
-- **Per-mode high-score readout** in the Stats screen. Currently lifetime stats roll all modes together.
-- **Auto-save Zen mode** alongside Time Attack so close-mid-session resumes work in both.
-- **Configurable scoring weights** — Settings → Gameplay slider for time-bonus magnitude. Cosmetic but power-user appealing.
-- **Solver-at-deal toggle** (Quat's investigation #1, deferred): per the recommendation in the session-8 findings, add a Settings toggle "Winnable deals only" rather than baking solver-only into all deals. Lightest middle ground.
-- **Disable Bevy's default audio feature** (Quat's investigation #2, deferred) to drop ~50 transitive crates. One-line workspace edit then re-enable engine features explicitly. Defer until active feature work settles.
