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.

+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to Solitaire Quest are documented here. The format is
+based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/) and this
+project follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+_Nothing yet._
+
+## [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.
+
+### Stats
+
+- 1053 passing tests (was 1031 at v0.12.0 close).
+- Zero clippy warnings under `--workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`.
+
+## [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.

+A cross-platform Klondike Solitaire game written in Rust, with a card-theme

 ## Features
 
-- **Klondike Solitaire** — Draw One and Draw Three modes
+- **Klondike Solitaire** — Draw One and Draw Three modes; foundations are
+  unlocked (any Ace lands in any empty slot, the slot then claims that suit)
+- **Card themes** — bundled hayeah/playing-cards-assets default plus
+  user-installable themes (drop a directory under the data dir or import a
+  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
-- **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.

-**Last updated:** 2026-05-02 (session 7) — UX iteration round complete: every item from session 6's UX punch list has shipped, plus a font-fallback fix surfaced by a second-machine smoke test. Six commits on top of session 6's `c4970b1`. Direction now opens for the next round — release prep or another UX pass, the player's call.
+**Last updated:** 2026-05-02 (session 9, post-v0.14.0 release prep) — v0.14.0 cut. The Quat bug fixes, the rest of the v0.13.0 candidate list, and the entire replay → upload → web-viewer pipeline are all bundled in this release. Direction now opens for the next round.
 
 ## Status at pause
 
-- **HEAD:** `655dfde`. Local master is **3 commits ahead** of `origin/master` (`f6c9166`, `f712b89`, `655dfde` unpushed; `fdb6c2e` and `95df542` already pushed).

+- **HEAD on origin:** v0.14.0's tag commit (CHANGELOG + handoff refresh).

 ## Where we are
 
-Session 6's UX punch list was four items. All four shipped today, plus an unrelated font-fallback fix from a second-machine smoke test.
+v0.14.0 is the largest release since the card-theme system. Three threads land together:
 
-The card-theme system, HUD restructure, modal scaffold, and the four big UX feel items (foundations, drop shadows, drop highlights, stock badge) are all in. Direction is open — the deferred release-prep items (`v0.11.0` cut, README/CHANGELOG refresh, desktop packaging) are still on the table, and a fresh round of UX iteration is also available.
+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.
 
 ### Design direction (unchanged)
 
 - **Tone:** Balatro — chunky readable type, theatrical hierarchy, satisfying micro-interactions.
 - **Palette:** Midnight Purple base + Balatro yellow primary + warm magenta secondary.

 ### Canonical remote
 
-`github.com/funman300/Rusty_Solitaire` is the canonical repo. Always push there. (Earlier sessions used `Rusty_Solitare` — single-i typo — as the repo name; the rename to `Rusty_Solitaire` happened in session 7. Local clone directories may still be named `Rusty_Solitare`; that's just a directory name and works fine.)

+### v0.13.0-era UX candidates (had landed but missed v0.13.0's tag)
 
 | Area | Commit | What landed |
 |---|---|---|
-| Font fallback | `fdb6c2e` | `shared_fontdb` now `include_bytes!()`s `assets/fonts/main.ttf` (FiraMono) and pins every CSS generic to `"Fira Mono"` so unmatched named families on minimal Linux installs / fresh Wayland sessions / chroots don't drop card rank/suit text. Surfaced when a second-machine pull rendered cards without glyphs. |
-| Unlock foundations | `95df542` | `PileType::Foundation(Suit)` → `Foundation(u8)` (slot 0..3). `Pile::claimed_suit()` derives the claim from the bottom card — no separate field, no claim-stuck-after-undo class of bugs. `can_place_on_foundation` drops its suit parameter. `next_auto_complete_move` prefers a slot whose claimed suit matches the candidate before falling back to the first empty slot for an Ace. 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" when the slot is empty. Save-format invalidation: `GameState.schema_version` bumped 1 → 2; old `game_state.json` files silently fall through to "fresh game on launch." Stats / progress / achievements / settings live in separate files and are unaffected. 9 new tests. |
-| Drop overlay | `f6c9166` | The pre-existing `update_drop_highlights` system tinted `PileMarker` sprites green for valid drops, but markers were occluded by stacked cards — invisible during real play. New `update_drop_target_overlays` spawns a soft-fill + 3 px outlined box ABOVE cards for every legal target (full fanned column for tableaux, card-sized for foundations / empty tableaux). `Z_DROP_OVERLAY = 50` sits above static cards but below `DRAG_Z = 500` so the dragged card never gets occluded. Reuses `STATE_SUCCESS` hue. The original marker-tint system is untouched. 3 new tests. |
-| Drop shadows | `f712b89` | Each `CardEntity` spawns a `CardShadow` child sprite — neutral black at 25 % alpha, sized `card_size + 4 px`, offset `(2, -3)`, local z `-0.05`. `update_card_shadows_on_drag` snaps shadows in `DragState.cards` to a lifted state (40 % alpha, `(4, -6)` offset, `(8, 8)` padding). `resize_cards_in_place` extended to keep shadows cheap on window resize. `update_card_entity`'s `despawn_related` is followed by a fresh `add_card_shadow_child` so flips / theme swaps re-attach shadows. Pure `card_shadow_params(is_dragged)` helper unit-tested. 4 new tests. |
-| Stock badge | `655dfde` | A small `·N` chip at the top-right corner of the stock pile shows the remaining count. `update_stock_count_badge` spawns a top-level world entity whose `Transform.translation` is recomputed each tick from `LayoutResource`, so window resize / theme swap don't strand it. Hides via `Visibility::Hidden` when the stock empties — the existing `↺` `StockEmptyLabel` takes over and they never co-render. `Z_STOCK_BADGE = 30` sits between cards and `Z_DROP_OVERLAY`. 4 new tests. |
+| 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. |
+| 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`. |
+| 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. |
+| 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. |
+| 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. |
 
-## Open punch list — release prep (still deferred unless player chooses now)
+### Quat smoke-test bug fixes
 
-1. **Cut `v0.11.0`** — meaningful slice since `v0.10.0`: full card-theme system (CARD_PLAN phases 1–7 + theme picker + hayeah art), HUD overhaul (band + fade), session 6's four bug fixes, and session 7's font fallback + four UX feel wins. (`git tag -d v0.1.0` first to clean up the stale local tag.)
-2. **README + CHANGELOG refresh** — README was last touched at `a6b8348` before the Settings picker shipped; doesn't mention card themes, the auto-fade, or any of session 7's UX work.
-3. **Desktop packaging** per `ARCHITECTURE.md §17`. The Arch PKGBUILD exists in `/home/manage/solitaire-quest-pkgbuild/` (separate repo, no remote yet). Pending: app icon, macOS `.icns` + notarisation cert, Windows `.ico` + Authenticode cert, AppImage recipe.
+| 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`. Closes the bug where any multi-card lift could be dropped as long as the bottom landed legally. |
+| 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: 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. 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. |
 
-## Open punch list — UX iteration (next-round candidates)
+### Replay pipeline (the major feature)
 
-The session-6 list is exhausted. Candidates for a next round, none formally requested by the player:
+| 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. |
 
-- **Animated focus ring** (currently a static overlay; could pulse on focus change).
-- **Achievement onboarding pass** — show first-time players the achievement panel after their first win.
-- **Mode-switch keyboard shortcut** from inside the Mode Launcher (today only mouse opens it).
-- **Runtime aspect-ratio fidelity** — hayeah SVGs are ~1.45 h/w; engine layout assumes 1.4. Cards render ~3 % squashed vertically. Cosmetic.
-- **Foundation completion celebration** — when a foundation reaches its King, do a small flourish (sparkle, lift, sound). The auto-complete cascade already covers the win moment, but per-foundation closure is currently silent.
-- **Drag-cancel return animation** — illegal drops snap cards back instantly. A short ease-back tween ("springs back to where it came from") would feel more forgiving.
+## Open punch list
+
+### 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.
+
+### 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).
+- **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.
+- **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.

+Seven phases landed across `b8fb3fb` → `924a1e2` in v0.11.0; v0.13.0's `7ed4f2c` consumes the per-theme `back.svg`; v0.14.0's `ba527de` adds preview thumbnails. End-to-end:
 
-- **Bundled default theme** ships in the binary via `embedded://` — 52 hayeah/playing-cards-assets SVGs (MIT) + a midnight-purple `back.svg` (original work).
-- **User themes** live under `themes://` rooted at `solitaire_engine::assets::user_theme_dir()`. Drop a directory containing `theme.ron` + 53 SVG files; appears in the registry on next launch.
-- **Importer** at `solitaire_engine::theme::import_theme(zip)` validates an archive (20 MB cap, zip-slip rejection, manifest validation, every SVG round-tripped through the rasteriser) and atomically unpacks.
-- **Picker UI** in Settings → Cosmetic — one chip per registered theme; selection persists to `settings.json` as `selected_theme_id` and propagates to live sprites via `react_to_settings_theme_change` → `sync_card_image_set_with_active_theme` → `StateChangedEvent`.

-  2. CLAUDE.md           — hard rules (UI-first, no panics, etc.)
-  3. ARCHITECTURE.md     — crate responsibilities + data flow
-  4. ~/.claude/projects/<this-project>/memory/MEMORY.md

                            may be missing on a fresh machine)
 
 DECISION TO ASK THE PLAYER FIRST:
-  A. Push the 3 unpushed commits and cut v0.11.0?
-  B. Skip the tag for now, refresh README + CHANGELOG, then tag?
-  C. Skip release prep entirely and start a new UX iteration round?
-     If C, see the session-7 next-round candidates list (animated
-     focus ring, achievement onboarding, mode-switch keyboard
-     shortcut, aspect-ratio fidelity, foundation completion flourish,
-     drag-cancel return tween).
+  A. Smoke-test v0.14.0 on the alex machine first to confirm the
+     three Quat bug fixes hold up in real gameplay and the replay
+     pipeline works end-to-end (record → upload → web viewer).
+  B. Take the deferred Bevy-audio-feature trim (Quat investigation
+     #2) — one-line workspace edit, ~50 fewer transitive crates.
+  C. Take the deferred solver toggle (Quat investigation #1): add
+     "Winnable deals only" Settings toggle. Larger.
+  D. Promote the in-engine "Watch replay" button to real playback.
+  E. Pick from the remaining "next-round candidates" in this doc.
+  F. 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 / B / C. Don't pick unilaterally —

+//! When a player wins, the engine freezes the in-memory recording into a
+//! [`Replay`] and persists it to `<data_dir>/solitaire_quest/latest_replay.json`
+//! via [`save_latest_replay_to`]. The Stats screen offers a "Watch replay"
+//! action that loads it via [`load_latest_replay_from`] so the player can
+//! revisit (or, in a future build, watch the engine re-execute) the path
+//! they took to victory.
+//!
+//! Schema versioning: bump [`REPLAY_SCHEMA_VERSION`] whenever the on-disk
+//! shape changes. [`load_latest_replay_from`] returns `None` when the file
+//! carries any other version so older replays are silently dropped instead
+//! of crashing the loader.
+//!
+//! The recording is intentionally minimal — only [`ReplayMove`] entries
+//! that successfully advanced the game. `Undo` is **not** recorded: a
+//! replay represents the canonical path the player ultimately took to win,
+//! so backed-out missteps simply do not appear in the move list. The
+//! starting deal is not stored either — the [`seed`](Replay::seed) +
+//! [`draw_mode`](Replay::draw_mode) + [`mode`](Replay::mode) are sufficient
+//! for `GameState::new_with_mode` to rebuild the identical layout.

+///   the current stock state, so the input alone is sufficient and the
+///   replay model now stores atomic player inputs end-to-end.

+//! ## Persistence
+//!
+//! Classic / Zen / Challenge mid-deals already round-trip through
+//! `game_state.json` (the file carries `mode: GameMode`, so the deal *and*
+//! its mode flag both survive a window close). Time Attack additionally
+//! has session-level state — the 10-minute window remaining and the running
+//! win counter — that lives in [`TimeAttackResource`], not in `GameState`.
+//! That extra state is persisted to the sibling file
+//! `time_attack_session.json` via [`solitaire_data::TimeAttackSession`] so
+//! closing the window mid-Time-Attack does not lose the session.
+//!
+//! The file is written periodically (every ~30 real seconds, mirroring the
+//! game-state auto-save cadence) and on `AppExit`. It is deleted on session
+//! end, on a fresh session start, and on quit-to-menu. Load happens once at
+//! plugin startup; if the persisted window expired during the time the app
+//! was closed, the file is treated as missing.
