docs: cut v0.17.0 — solver-driven hints + replay-rate slider

Two follow-up commits on top of v0.16.0:
- 87275bf: H-key hint asks the v0.15.0 solver for the actual best
  first move, with the existing heuristic kept as fallback.
- 53e3b81: Settings → Gameplay slider tunes replay playback rate
  (0.10–1.00 s, default 0.45 s) read per frame from SettingsResource.

Adds the [0.17.0] CHANGELOG section, folds the post-v0.16.0
provisional table into a v0.17.0 shipped table in SESSION_HANDOFF,
prunes the now-stale "Cut v0.17.0" item from the punch list, and
re-letters the resume-prompt decision options A–D.

 ### Evaluation Timing
 
 Achievement conditions are evaluated by `AchievementPlugin` on every `GameWonEvent` and `StateChangedEvent`. The plugin calls `solitaire_core::check_achievements()` which returns a `Vec<AchievementDef>` of newly unlocked achievements. The plugin then fires `AchievementUnlockedEvent` for each, which the toast and persistence systems handle independently.
 
+A small number of achievements are *event-driven* rather than condition-driven: their `AchievementDef::condition` always returns `false` and their unlock is written from a dedicated observer system instead. `cinephile` is the canonical example — it unlocks when `ReplayPlaybackState` transitions from `Playing` to `Completed` (a saved replay watched to its natural end). The Stop button transitions `Playing → Inactive` directly without entering `Completed`, so manual aborts do not unlock the achievement.

 ### Rendering approach
 
-Cards are Bevy `Sprite` entities with `Handle<Image>` from `CardImageSet`. Face-up cards use one of 52 individual face PNGs selected by `faces[suit][rank]` — rank and suit are baked into each image and no `Text2d` overlay is spawned. Face-down cards use `backs/back_N.png` indexed by `settings.selected_card_back`. `Text2d` labels are only used as a fallback when `CardImageSet` is absent (e.g. tests with `MinimalPlugins`). `CardImageSet` is populated at startup from `include_bytes!()` — no `AssetServer`.

+_Nothing yet._
+
+## [0.17.0] — 2026-05-06
+
+A short follow-up round on top of v0.16.0: the H-key hint is no
+longer a heuristic guess but the actual best first move suggested by
+the v0.15.0 solver, and the in-engine replay player now has a
+player-tunable playback rate.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Replay-rate slider** in Settings → Gameplay. Tunes
+  `replay_move_interval_secs` from 0.10 s to 1.00 s in 0.05 s steps;
+  default 0.45 s. `tick_replay_playback` reads the value from
+  `SettingsResource` per frame so the slider takes effect on the
+  next playback tick — no restart required.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Solver-driven hints.** Pressing **H** used to surface a
+  heuristic-best move (foundation moves preferred, then
+  tableau-to-tableau by depth-of-flip-revealed). It now asks the
+  v0.15.0 solver for the actual provably-best first move via the
+  new `solitaire_core::solver::try_solve_with_first_move` /
+  `try_solve_from_state` APIs. When the solver returns inconclusive
+  (rare deals where the bound runs out before a result), the old
+  heuristic remains the fallback. Median 2 ms per H press.
+
+### Stats
+
+- 1208 passing tests (was 1196 at v0.16.0 close).
+- Zero clippy warnings under `--workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`.
+
+## [0.16.0] — 2026-05-06
+
+A modal-feel polish round. Every overlay screen now scrolls when its
+content overflows the 800×600 minimum window, every clickable button
+shows a hand cursor on hover, keyboard focus lands on the primary
+button on the same frame the modal opens, and read-only modals
+dismiss when the player clicks the scrim outside the card.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Pointer cursor on hover** for every interactive `Button` entity
+  (modal buttons, HUD action bar, mode-launcher cards, settings
+  toggles, Stats selectors). `update_cursor_icon` gains a fourth
+  branch sitting between Grabbing (active drag) and Grab
+  (draggable card hover): when no drag is active and any
+  `Interaction::Hovered`/`Pressed` button is detected, the window
+  cursor swaps to `SystemCursorIcon::Pointer`. A pure
+  `pick_cursor_icon` helper makes the priority logic
+  unit-testable.
+- **Click-outside-to-dismiss** for the six read-only modals: Stats,
+  Achievements, Help, Profile, Leaderboard, Home. New
+  `ScrimDismissible` marker on `ModalScrim` opts a modal in;
+  `dismiss_modal_on_scrim_click` runs in `Update`, despawns the
+  topmost dismissible scrim on a left-mouse press whose cursor
+  lands on the scrim and outside every `ModalCard`. Bevy's
+  hierarchy despawn cascades to the card and children.
+  Settings, Onboarding, Pause, Forfeit confirm, and Confirm New
+  Game intentionally don't opt in — they carry unsaved or
+  destructive state.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Modal content scrolls when it overflows** (Achievements, Help,
+  Stats, Profile, Leaderboard). Each modal's body Node now
+  carries `Overflow::scroll_y()` plus a `max_height` constraint
+  (`Val::Vh(70.0)` for most, `Val::Vh(50.0)` for the
+  leaderboard's variable-length ranking section) and a marker
+  component (`AchievementsScrollable`, `HelpScrollable`,
+  `StatsScrollable`, `ProfileScrollable`,
+  `LeaderboardScrollable`). A sibling `scroll_*_panel` system
+  per modal routes `MouseWheel` events into the body's
+  `ScrollPosition`. Mirrors the existing `SettingsPanelScrollable`
+  pattern. Home modal intentionally not scrolled — its five
+  mode cards + Cancel are sized to fit at 800×600 by design.
+- **Modal focus arrives on the same frame the modal opens.**
+  Previously `attach_focusable_to_modal_buttons` and
+  `auto_focus_on_modal_open` ran in `Update` alongside arbitrary
+  click-handlers that spawn modals; with no ordering edge,
+  Bevy's deferred `Commands` queued the new entities but the
+  attach system couldn't see them on the same tick. Both systems
+  moved to `PostUpdate` so the schedule boundary itself supplies
+  the sync point — `FocusedButton` is always populated before
+  `app.update()` returns. The very next Tab/Enter press lands on
+  a populated resource instead of wasting itself moving focus
+  from None to the primary.
+
+### Stats
+
+- 1196 passing tests (was 1178 at v0.15.0 close).
+- Zero clippy warnings under `--workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`.
+
+## [0.15.0] — 2026-05-02
+
+In-engine replay playback, the Klondike solver + "Winnable deals
+only" toggle, a 19th achievement, rolling replay history, and a
+significant build-time / binary-size win from disabling Bevy's
+default audio stack.
+
+### Added
+
+- **In-engine replay playback** for the Stats overlay's Watch Replay
+  button. New `ReplayPlaybackPlugin` runs a state machine
+  (Inactive / Playing / Completed) that resets the live game to the
+  recorded deal and ticks through `replay.moves` at
+  `REPLAY_MOVE_INTERVAL_SECS` (0.45 s) firing the canonical
+  `MoveRequestEvent` / `DrawRequestEvent` per recorded move.
+  Recording is suppressed during playback so replays don't re-record
+  themselves.
+- **Replay overlay banner** (`ReplayOverlayPlugin`) anchored to the
+  top of the window during playback. Shows "Replay" label, "Move N
+  of M" progress, and a Stop button. Z-order leaves modals
+  (Settings, Pause, Help) free to render on top so the player can
+  adjust audio mid-replay.
+- **Rolling replay history** at `<data_dir>/replays.json` capped at
+  8 entries. Replaces the single-slot `latest_replay.json` (legacy
+  file is migrated forward on first launch via
+  `migrate_legacy_latest_replay`). Stats overlay gains a Prev / Next
+  selector and a "Replay N / M" caption so the player can revisit
+  older wins.
+- **"Cinephile" achievement** (#19). Unlocks the first time
+  `ReplayPlaybackState` transitions Playing → Completed (i.e. the
+  replay played out to its end without the player pressing Stop).
+  Stop transitions Playing → Inactive directly so it doesn't count.
+- **Klondike solver** in `solitaire_core::solver`. Iterative-DFS
+  with memoisation on a 64-bit canonical state hash, two budget
+  knobs (move_budget + state_budget) for pathological cases, and a
+  three-state `SolverResult` (Winnable / Unwinnable / Inconclusive).
+  Median solve time 2 ms; pathological inconclusives cap near
+  120 ms. Pure logic — `solitaire_core` keeps no Bevy or I/O.
+- **"Winnable deals only" toggle** in Settings → Gameplay (default
+  off). When on, `handle_new_game` walks seed N, N+1, N+2, …
+  through `try_solve` until it finds Winnable or Inconclusive,
+  capped at `SOLVER_DEAL_RETRY_CAP` (50) attempts. Daily
+  challenges, replays, and explicit-seed requests bypass the
+  solver — only random Classic deals are gated.

+  crates including the `bevy_audio` → rodio → cpal 0.15 + symphonia
+  chain that the project doesn't use (kira handles audio directly).
+  The retained feature list is curated to exactly what the engine
+  uses; `solitaire_wasm` is unaffected because it doesn't depend on
+  bevy.

+
+## [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`.
+
+## [0.13.0] — 2026-05-02
+
+Third UX iteration round on top of v0.12.0. Six handoff candidates
+shipped — three small polish items, three larger interaction
+features (theme-aware backs, full keyboard play, right-click power
+shortcut). Plus two code-review fixes (font handling unified,
+sccache wiring removed).
+
+### Added
+
+- **Tooltip-delay slider** in Settings → Gameplay. `tooltip_delay_secs`
+  ranges [0.0, 1.5] in 0.1 s steps; "Instant" label when zero.
+  `Settings.tooltip_delay_secs` round-trips through serialise/deserialise
+  with `#[serde(default)]`. The hover-delay comparison in
+  `ui_tooltip` reads from `SettingsResource` with the existing
+  `MOTION_TOOLTIP_DELAY_SECS` as the test-fixture fallback.
+- **Win-streak fire animation.** New `WinStreakMilestoneEvent` fires
+  from `stats_plugin` when `win_streak_current` crosses any of
+  [3, 5, 10] (only the threshold crossing — not every subsequent
+  win). The HUD streak readout scale-pulses 1.0 → 1.20 → 1.0 over
+  `MOTION_STREAK_FLOURISH_SECS` (0.6 s).
+- **Score-breakdown reveal on the win modal.** Replaces the single
+  "Score: N" line with a per-component reveal (Base / Time bonus /
+  No-undo bonus / Mode multiplier / Total). Rows fade in over
+  `MOTION_SCORE_BREAKDOWN_FADE_SECS` (0.12 s) staggered by
+  `MOTION_SCORE_BREAKDOWN_STAGGER_SECS` (0.15 s). Honours
+  `AnimSpeed::Instant` by spawning all rows fully visible.
+- **Card backs follow the active theme.** `theme.ron`'s `back` slot
+  now actually drives the face-down sprite. Active-theme back
+  rasterises alongside the faces and supersedes the legacy
+  `back_N.png` picker. The picker remains as a fallback for themes
+  that don't ship a back, and the Settings UI surfaces a caption
+  ("Active theme provides its own back") + dimmed swatches when
+  the override is in effect.
+- **Keyboard-only drag-and-drop.** Tab cycles draggable card stacks,
+  Enter "lifts" the focused stack, arrow keys (or Tab) cycle the
+  legal-destination targets only, Enter confirms, Esc cancels. A
+  new `KeyboardDragState` resource models the two-mode flow without
+  changing the existing `SelectionState` contract. Mutual exclusion
+  with mouse drag uses a sentinel `DragState.active_touch_id =
+  KEYBOARD_DRAG_TOUCH_ID` (u64::MAX) so neither pipeline can
+  trample the other.
+- **Right-click radial menu.** Hold right-click on a face-up card →
+  a small ring of icons appears at the cursor with one entry per
+  legal destination. Release over an icon → fires
+  `MoveRequestEvent`; release in dead space, Esc, or left-click
+  cancels. Skips the drag motion entirely. New `RadialMenuPlugin`
+  owns the flow; co-exists with the existing `RightClickHighlight`
+  pile-marker tint.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Font handling consolidated to bundled-only.** Code-review
+  feedback: the SVG rasteriser previously mixed
+  `load_system_fonts` + bundled FiraMono + a lenient resolver,
+  which made card text rendering depend on host fontconfig. Picked
+  option (a) and applied it across both layers — `font_plugin` now
+  embeds `assets/fonts/main.ttf` via `include_bytes!()` and
+  registers it with `Assets<Font>`; `svg_loader::shared_fontdb`
+  loads only the bundled bytes; the new `bundled_font_resolver`
+  ignores the SVG's `font-family` request and always returns the
+  single bundled face. A parse failure aborts with a clear error
+  ("bundled FiraMono failed to parse — binary is corrupt").
+
+### Removed
+
+- **Project-level sccache wiring.** Code-review feedback: sccache
+  shouldn't be a per-project build dependency. Cargo's incremental
+  cache already covers the single-project case, and forcing
+  `rustc-wrapper = "sccache"` workspace-wide meant every contributor
+  had to install it. `.cargo/config.toml` deleted entirely; plain
+  `cargo build` now works without setup.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- `help_plugin` controls reference gains a "Mouse" section covering
+  double-click auto-move, right-click highlight, and the new
+  hold-RMB radial.
+- `help_plugin` also gains a "Keyboard drag" section for the new
+  Tab/Enter/Arrows/Esc flow.
+- Onboarding slide 3 picks up a `Tab → Enter` row referencing the
+  full keyboard drag path.

+
+## [0.12.0] — 2026-05-02
+
+UX feel polish round on top of v0.11.0. Six small-but-tangible
+improvements that make the play surface feel more responsive,
+forgiving, and discoverable, plus the doc refresh that should have
+ridden along with v0.11.0.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Foundation completion flourish.** When a King lands on a
+  foundation (Ace-through-King for that suit), a brief celebration
+  fires: King card scale-pulses 1.0 → 1.15 → 1.0 over 0.4 s, the
+  foundation marker tints `STATE_SUCCESS` for the first half then
+  fades, and a synthesised C6→E6→G6 bell ping plays (~240 ms,
+  octave above `win_fanfare`'s root so the fourth completion + win
+  cascade layer cleanly). New `FoundationCompletedEvent { slot,
+  suit }` carries the trigger so future systems can hook in.
+- **Drag-cancel return tween.** Illegal drops glide each dragged
+  card back to its origin slot over 150 ms with a quintic ease-out
+  curve (`MotionCurve::Responsive`, zero overshoot — reads forgiving
+  rather than jittery). The audio cue (`card_invalid.wav`) still
+  fires for negative feedback. Right-click and double-click invalid
+  paths still use `ShakeAnim` since there's no motion to interpolate.
+- **Focus ring breathing.** The keyboard focus ring's alpha modulates
+  with a 1.4 s sin curve over [0.65, 1.0] of its native value so the
+  indicator catches the eye on focus changes without competing with
+  gameplay. Honours `AnimSpeed::Instant` by reverting to the static
+  outline for reduced-motion users.
+- **First-win achievement onboarding toast.** After the player's
+  very first win, a one-shot info toast surfaces "First win! Press
+  A to see your achievements." `Settings.shown_achievement_onboarding`
+  persists the seen state so the cue never re-fires (legacy
+  `settings.json` files load to `false` via `#[serde(default)]`).
+- **Mode Launcher digit shortcuts.** Pressing M opens the Home modal
+  (the Mode Launcher); inside it, pressing 1–5 launches each mode
+  directly without needing Tab + Enter. Locked modes (Zen, Challenge,
+  Time Attack at level < 5) are silent no-ops. Modal-scoped — digit
+  keys outside the launcher fire nothing.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Card aspect ratio matches hayeah SVGs.** `CARD_ASPECT` 1.4 →
+  1.4523 to match the bundled artwork's natural 167.087 × 242.667
+  dimensions. Cards previously rendered ~3.6 % vertically squashed.
+  The vertical-budget math in `compute_layout` uses `CARD_ASPECT`
+  algebraically so the worst-case-tableau-fits-on-screen guarantee
+  adapts automatically.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- **README refresh** with v0.11.0+ features (card themes, HUD
+  overhaul, drag feel, unlocked foundations) and a corrected controls
+  table — the previous table inverted Z/U for undo and listed H for
+  help when F1 is the binding.
+- **CHANGELOG.md** added (this file), covering v0.9.0–v0.12.0 with
+  Keep a Changelog 1.1.0 conventions.
+
+### Stats
+
+- 1007 passing tests (was 982 at v0.11.0).
+- Zero clippy warnings under `--workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`.
+
+## [0.11.0] — 2026-05-02
+
+The biggest release since 0.10.0. Headline threads: a runtime card-theme
+system, an HUD restructure that reclaims the play surface, and a round of
+UX feel polish surfaced by smoke testing.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Runtime card-theme system** (CARD_PLAN phases 1–7).
+  - Bundled default theme ships in the binary via `embedded://` — 52
+    [hayeah/playing-cards-assets](https://github.com/hayeah/playing-cards-assets)
+    SVGs (MIT) plus a midnight-purple `back.svg` as original work.
+  - User themes live under `themes://` rooted at `user_theme_dir()`. Drop
+    a directory containing `theme.ron` + 53 SVGs and the registry picks
+    it up on next launch.
+  - Importer at `solitaire_engine::theme::import_theme(zip)` validates
+    archives (20 MB cap, zip-slip rejection, manifest validation, every
+    SVG round-tripped through the rasteriser) and atomically unpacks.
+  - Picker UI in **Settings → Cosmetic**; selection persists as
+    `selected_theme_id` and propagates to live sprites.
+- **Reserved HUD top band** (64 px) so cards no longer crowd the score
+  readout or action buttons; layout's `top_y` shifts down accordingly.
+- **Action-bar auto-fade** — buttons fade out when the cursor leaves the
+  band, fade back in when it returns. Lerp at ~167 ms.
+- **Visible drop-target overlay during drag** — a soft fill plus 3 px
+  outline drawn ABOVE stacked cards for every legal target (full fanned
+  column for tableaux, card-sized for foundations and empty tableaux).
+  Replaces the previously invisible pile-marker tint.
+- **Card drop shadows** — every card casts a neutral 25 % black shadow
+  with a 4 px halo; cards in the active drag set switch to a lifted
+  shadow (40 % alpha, larger offset, bigger halo).
+- **Stock remaining-count badge** — small `·N` chip at the top-right of
+  the stock pile so the player can see how close they are to a recycle.
+  Hides when the stock empties.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Foundations are unlocked.** `PileType::Foundation(Suit)` →
+  `Foundation(u8)` (slot 0..3). The claimed suit is derived from the
+  bottom card via `Pile::claimed_suit()` — no separate field, no
+  claim-stuck-after-undo bugs. Any Ace lands in any empty slot, and the
+  slot then claims that suit. `next_auto_complete_move` prefers a
+  claim-matched slot before falling back to the first empty slot for
+  Aces. Empty foundation markers render as plain placeholders (no
+  "C/D/H/S").
+- **HUD selection label** and **hint toast** read `claimed_suit()` and
+  fall through to "Foundation N" / "move to foundation" only when the
+  slot is empty.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`shared_fontdb` now bundles FiraMono.** The hayeah SVGs reference
+  `Bitstream Vera Sans` and `Arial` by name. On minimal Linux installs
+  / fresh Wayland sessions / chroots where neither is installed AND the
+  CSS-generic aliases don't resolve, card rank/suit text vanished. The
+  bundled font is loaded into fontdb and pinned as every CSS generic's
+  target so the resolver always lands on something real. Surfaced when
+  a second-machine pull rendered cards without glyphs.
+- **Theme asset path resolution** — `AssetPath::resolve` (concatenates)
+  → `resolve_embed` (RFC 1808 sibling resolution). Was producing paths
+  like `…/theme.ron/hearts_4.svg` and failing to load every face SVG.
+- **Sync exit log spam** — `push_on_exit` silently no-ops on
+  `LocalOnlyProvider`'s `UnsupportedPlatform` instead of warn-spamming
+  every shutdown.
+- **usvg font-substitution warn spam** — custom `FontResolver.select_font`
+  appends `Family::SansSerif` and `Family::Serif` to every query so
+  unmatched named families silently fall through.
+
+### Migration
+
+- **In-progress saves invalidated.** `GameState.schema_version` bumped
+  1 → 2; pre-v2 `game_state.json` files silently fall through to "fresh
+  game on launch." Stats, progress, achievements, and settings live in
+  separate files and are unaffected.
+
+### Stats
+
+- 982 passing tests (was 819 at v0.10.0).
+- Zero clippy warnings under `--workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`.
+
+## [0.10.0] — 2026-04-29
+
+PNG art pipeline plus a major dependency pass. The first release where
+the binary shipped with bundled artwork.
+
+### Added
+
+- **52 individual card face PNGs** generated via `solitaire_assetgen`.
+- **Custom font** (FiraMono-Medium) loaded via `AssetServer` at startup
+  through the new `FontPlugin`.
+- **Card backs and backgrounds** upgraded to 120×168 with richer
+  patterns.
+- **Ambient audio loop** wired through the kira mixer.
+- **Arch Linux PKGBUILDs** for the game client and sync server (under
+  the separate `solitaire-quest-pkgbuild` directory).
+- **Workspace README, CI workflow, migration guide.**
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Bevy 0.15 → 0.18** workspace migration.
+- **kira 0.9 → 0.12** audio backend migration.
+- **Edition 2024**, MSRV pinned to **Rust 1.95**.
+- **rand 0.9** upgrade.
+- **Card rendering** moved from `Text2d` overlay to PNG-backed
+  `Sprite` with face/back atlases; `Text2d` retained as a headless
+  fallback when `CardImageSet` is absent (tests under MinimalPlugins).
+- **Asset pipeline** switched from `include_bytes!()` for PNGs/TTFs to
+  runtime `AssetServer::load()` so artwork can be swapped without a
+  recompile. Audio remains embedded.
+- **Removed Google Play Games Services sync backend** — redundant with
+  the self-hosted server.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Server JWT secret** loaded at startup (was lazy, surfaced as
+  intermittent 500s).
+- **Daily-challenge race** in the server's seed-generation path.
+- **Rate limiter** switched to `SmartIpKeyExtractor` so the limit
+  applies per real client IP rather than per upstream proxy.
+- **Touch input** uses `MessageReader<TouchInput>` (Bevy 0.18 rename).
+- **Sync push/pull races** in async task scheduling.
+- **Hot-path allocations** reduced in card-rendering systems.
+- **Conflict report coverage** added for sync merge edge cases.
+
+### Stats
+
+- 819 passing tests at tag time.
+
+## [0.9.0] — 2026-04-28
+
+Initial public-tagged release. Established the workspace structure
+(`solitaire_core` / `_sync` / `_data` / `_engine` / `_server` / `_app` /
+`_assetgen`), the modal scaffold via `ui_modal`, the design-token system
+in `ui_theme`, and the four-tier HUD layout. Foundations were
+suit-locked at this point; cards rendered as `Text2d` rank/suit overlays
+with no PNG artwork yet.
+
+### Added
+
+- Klondike core (Draw One / Draw Three modes).
+- Progression system (XP, levels, 18 achievements, daily challenge,
+  weekly goals, special modes at level 5).
+- Self-hosted sync server (Axum + SQLite + JWT auth).
+- All 12 overlay screens migrated to the `ui_modal` scaffold with real
+  Primary/Secondary/Tertiary buttons.
+- Animation upgrades: `SmoothSnap` slide curves, scoped settle bounce,
+  deal jitter, win-cascade rotation.
+- Splash screen, focus rings (Phases 1–3), tooltips infrastructure +
+  HUD/Settings/popover applications, achievement integration tests,
+  destructive-confirm verb unification, leaderboard error/idle states,
+  first-launch empty-state polish, hit-target accessibility fix,
+  CREDITS.md, persistent window geometry, mode-launcher Home repurpose,
+  client-side sync round-trip integration tests.

+
+The face SVGs come from Howard Yeh's `playing-cards-assets` repository, which
+is itself derived from the public-domain `vector-playing-cards` Google Code
+project. The art is redistributed under the MIT license — see the upstream
+repository for the full notice. The files ship unmodified in the bundled
+default theme; user-supplied themes can override them per-installation

+The default card back is original work by this project, midnight-purple
+themed to match the rest of the UI palette.

+### Audio
+
+All six WAV files in `assets/audio/` are **original work** — there are no
+third-party audio samples in this project. They are synthesized
+programmatically by `solitaire_assetgen/src/bin/gen_sfx.rs`, which writes
+44.1 kHz mono 16-bit PCM WAVs using a hand-rolled WAV writer (no `hound` or
+`dasp` dependency). The synthesis stack is entirely additive: sine /
+square waves, layered harmonics, deterministic LCG noise, AR envelopes,
+and a slow LFO for the ambient track.
+
+| File | Synthesis approach |
+|---|---|
+| `card_deal.wav` | Filtered LCG noise with a sweeping low-pass cutoff for a "whoosh" |
+| `card_flip.wav` | High-passed LCG noise under a fast AR envelope |
+| `card_place.wav` | 120 Hz sine body + filtered noise click |
+| `card_invalid.wav` | Two dissonant square tones (196 Hz + 207.65 Hz) beating against each other |
+| `win_fanfare.wav` | C-major arpeggio (C5 / E5 / G5 / C6) with sine + 2nd harmonic |
+| `ambient_loop.wav` | 55 Hz fundamental with 2nd and 3rd harmonics, modulated by a 0.2 Hz LFO; loop length is chosen so the tone and LFO both complete an integer number of cycles for seamless looping |
+
+Audio files are MIT-licensed alongside the rest of this project.

+  zip from Settings → Cosmetic)
+- **Modern HUD** — reserved top band keeps cards from crowding the score
+  readout; the action bar auto-fades when the cursor leaves it so it can't
+  compete with the play surface
+- **Drag feel** — every legal drop target is highlighted in green during
+  drag; cards cast a soft drop shadow that lifts when picked up; the stock
+  pile shows a remaining-count chip so you can see how close you are to a
+  recycle
+- **Keyboard navigation** — Tab cycles focus through buttons, arrow keys
+  move within picker rows, Enter activates; works across every modal and
+  the HUD action bar
 - **Progression** — XP, levels, unlockable card backs and backgrounds
-- **18 Achievements** — including secret ones
+- **19 Achievements** — including secret ones
-- **Daily Challenge** — server-seeded so every player worldwide gets the same deal
+- **Daily Challenge** — server-seeded so every player worldwide gets the
+  same deal
 - **Leaderboard** — opt-in, powered by your own self-hosted server
 - **Special Modes** (unlocked at level 5): Zen, Time Attack, Challenge
 - **Sync** — pull/push stats across devices via a self-hosted server
-- **Color-blind mode** — blue tint on red-suit cards

+## Card themes
+
+The default theme ships embedded in the binary, so the game runs
+self-contained with no external assets. To install another theme, drop a
+directory containing a `theme.ron` manifest plus 53 SVG files (52 faces +
+1 back) under the platform data dir's `themes/` folder, or import a zip
+from **Settings → Cosmetic**. The picker chip lights up the moment a new
+theme is registered. Themes are SVG-based, so they rasterise cleanly at
+whatever resolution the window happens to be.
 
 ## Sync Server (optional)
 
-To sync stats across machines, run the self-hosted server. See [README_SERVER.md](README_SERVER.md) for setup instructions.

+# Solitaire Quest — Session Handoff
+
+**Last updated:** 2026-05-06 (post-v0.17.0) — v0.17.0 cut on top of v0.16.0 bundling the solver-driven hints (`87275bf`) and the replay-rate slider (`53e3b81`). An async-solver attempt earlier in the session was rolled back when an agent left 3 failing tests during interruption — flagged as carryover. Test-to-work ratio noted as a quality signal: future agent briefs scale back to behaviour-level tests only, not stdlib/serde-derive coverage.
+
+## Status at pause
+
+- **HEAD on origin:** v0.17.0's tag commit.
+- **Working tree:** clean apart from untracked `CARD_PLAN.md` (intentional).
+- **Build:** `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean.
+- **Tests:** **1208 passed / 0 failed** across the workspace.
+- **Tags on origin:** `v0.9.0` through `v0.17.0`.
+
+## Where we are
+
+v0.16.0 is the smallest meaningful release in a while — a focused round on how modals feel rather than what they contain. The originating bug was "I can't scroll on the Achievements list"; the sweep that followed found four other modals with the same problem plus three smaller modal-feel gaps (no pointer cursor on buttons, focus arriving a frame late, no click-outside-to-dismiss).
+
+Every overlay screen now: scrolls if its content can overflow at 800×600, shows a hand cursor when you hover any button, has its primary auto-focused the moment the modal appears so the very first Tab/Enter is meaningful, and (for read-only screens) dismisses when you click outside the card.
+
+The post-v0.15.0 next-round candidates are still mostly open — solver-driven hints, replay-rate slider, solver progress overlay, async solver, "won previously" indicator, replay sharing. Direction is open.
+
+### Design direction (unchanged)
+
+- **Tone:** Balatro — chunky readable type, theatrical hierarchy, satisfying micro-interactions.
+- **Palette:** Midnight Purple base + Balatro yellow primary + warm magenta secondary.
+- See `~/.claude/projects/-home-manage-Rusty-Solitare/memory/project_ux_overhaul_2026-04.md` (machine-local).
+
+### Canonical remote
+
+`github.com/funman300/Rusty_Solitaire` is the canonical repo. Always push there.
+
+## v0.17.0 (shipped 2026-05-06)
+
+| Area | Commit | What landed |
+|---|---|---|
+| Solver-driven hints | `87275bf` | The H-key hint asks the solver for the actual best first move via `try_solve_with_first_move` / `try_solve_from_state`. Heuristic stays as fallback. Median 2 ms per H press. |
+| Replay-rate slider | `53e3b81` | Settings → Gameplay slider tunes `replay_move_interval_secs` 0.10–1.00 s in 0.05 s steps; default 0.45 s. Read per frame from `SettingsResource`. |
+
+## v0.16.0 (shipped 2026-05-06)
+
+| Area | Commit | What landed |
+|---|---|---|
+| Modal scroll | `7a3032b` | Achievements / Help / Stats / Profile / Leaderboard bodies now carry `Overflow::scroll_y()` + a `max_height` constraint + a per-plugin `*Scrollable` marker. Sibling `scroll_*_panel` systems route `MouseWheel` into the body's `ScrollPosition`. Mirrors the existing `SettingsPanelScrollable` pattern. Home modal not scrolled — five mode cards + Cancel are sized to fit by design. |
+| Pointer cursor | `cd54ce1` | `update_cursor_icon` gains a fourth branch: `SystemCursorIcon::Pointer` whenever any `Interaction::Hovered`/`Pressed` button is detected and no card drag is active. Branch order Grabbing → Pointer → Grab → Default. Pure `pick_cursor_icon(is_dragging, any_button_hovered, any_card_hovered)` helper unit-tests the priority. |
+| Same-frame focus | `48e4121` | `attach_focusable_to_modal_buttons` and `auto_focus_on_modal_open` moved from `Update` to `PostUpdate`. The schedule boundary supplies the sync point so a click-handler in `Update` that spawns a modal has its `Commands` materialised before attach runs. `FocusedButton` is populated before `app.update()` returns; the very first Tab/Enter after open lands on a populated resource. |
+| Scrim dismiss core | `a54201e` | New `ScrimDismissible` marker on `ModalScrim` opts a modal into click-outside-to-close. `dismiss_modal_on_scrim_click` system in `ui_modal` despawns the topmost dismissible scrim on a left-mouse press whose cursor lands on the scrim and outside every `ModalCard`. Stats / Achievements / Help opted in. |
+| Scrim dismiss tail | `cbf2483` | One-line opt-in (capture scrim + insert marker) for Profile / Leaderboard / Home, completing all six read-only modals. |
+
+## Open punch list
+
+### Release prep
+
+1. **Desktop packaging** per `ARCHITECTURE.md §17`. Arch PKGBUILD exists in `/home/manage/solitaire-quest-pkgbuild/` (separate repo). Pending: app icon, macOS `.icns` + notarisation cert, Windows `.ico` + Authenticode cert, AppImage recipe.
+
+### Process note (raised this session)
+
+Recent agent briefs reflexively asked for ≥3 tests per feature, which produced low-value coverage on trivial settings fields (default-value tests, serde-derive round-trips, clamp tests that just exercise stdlib `clamp`). Future agent briefs should ask only for tests that pin **behaviour contracts or regressions on real bugs** — not coverage of language/library mechanics.
+
+### Carryover candidates — still open
+
+- **Solver-on-AsyncComputeTaskPool** — current solver runs synchronously on the main thread. Worst-case 50 attempts × 120 ms = 6 s of UI stall on pathological seeds. **An attempt this session was rolled back** when an agent was interrupted leaving 3 failing tests; redoing this needs more careful scoping (smaller pieces, real cancel-and-test flow, NOT a parallel agent split). Worth taking next.
+- **Per-deal "won previously" indicator** — the rolling replay history's seeds make this easy: when a new game starts on a seed the player has already won, surface a tiny indicator on the HUD.
+- **Replay sharing** — `replays.json` is per-machine. Allow a player to copy a replay's URL (already wired via `solitaire_server`) and post it elsewhere. The web-viewer already exists.

+## Resume prompt
+
+```
+You are a senior Rust + Bevy developer working on Solitaire Quest.
+Working directory: <Rusty_Solitaire clone path on this machine — local
+directory may still be named Rusty_Solitare from earlier; that's fine>.
+Branch: master. Direction is OPEN — v0.16.0 just shipped covering
+modal scroll fixes, pointer cursor, same-frame focus, and scrim-click
+dismiss across all six read-only modals.
+
+State: HEAD at v0.17.0 (solver hints + replay-rate slider on top
+of v0.16.0). Working tree clean apart from untracked CARD_PLAN.md
+(intentional).
+Build: cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings clean.
+Tests: 1208 passed / 0 failed.
+
+READ FIRST (in order, before doing anything):
+  1. SESSION_HANDOFF.md  — v0.16.0 changelog + open punch list
+  2. CHANGELOG.md        — release-by-release record
+  3. CLAUDE.md           — hard rules (UI-first, no panics, etc.)
+  4. ARCHITECTURE.md     — crate responsibilities + data flow
+  5. ~/.claude/projects/<this-project>/memory/MEMORY.md
+                         — saved feedback / project context (machine-local;
+                           may be missing on a fresh machine)
+
+DECISION TO ASK THE PLAYER FIRST:
+  A. Solver-on-AsyncComputeTaskPool with progress toast + cancel.
+     A previous attempt was rolled back when an agent left 3
+     failing tests; redoing it needs smaller pieces. Eliminates the
+     worst-case 6 s UI stall — highest gameplay impact left.
+  B. Per-deal "won previously" HUD indicator using the rolling
+     replay history's seeds.
+  C. Replay sharing — copyable URL via the existing web viewer.
+  D. Take the deferred desktop-packaging item (needs artwork +
+     signing certs from the user).
+
+WORKFLOW NOTES:
+  - Commits use:
+      git -c user.name=funman300 -c user.email=root@vscode.infinity \
+          commit -m "..."
+  - When attributing playtester feedback in commits/docs, use "Quat"
+    not "Rhys" (saved feedback memory).
+  - Sub-agents stage + verify only; orchestrator commits.
+  - Every commit must pass build / clippy / test before pushing.
+  - Push to GitHub (origin) — that is the canonical remote.
+
+OPEN AT THE START: ask which of A–D. Don't pick unilaterally.
