fix(engine): fix classic-card corner label colours and HUD-band overlap

card_plugin: AndroidCornerLabel used CARD_FACE_COLOUR (dark ~#1a1a1a) as the background and BLACK_SUIT_COLOUR (near-white) for clubs/spades text — both designed for the Terminal theme. On classic PNG cards (white face), this produced an ugly dark box with invisible black-suit text. Switch the corner-label background to Color::WHITE and black-suit text to CARD_FACE_COLOUR (dark ink on white), matching traditional card printing. layout: HUD_BAND_HEIGHT on Android raised 80 → 112 px. The HUD column has 4 flex tiers plus 3 inter-tier gaps (4 px each) and a SPACE_2 = 8 px top offset. With empty tiers still occupying gap height in Bevy's flex layout, the actual rendered HUD could reach ~80 px, overlapping the top card row by up to one text line. 112 px provides ~28 px clearance in the common case (Tiers 1 + 3 visible) and remains workable even when Tier 1 wraps.

+## Overview
+
+RuFlo V3 is a domain-driven design architecture for multi-agent AI coordination with:
+
+- **15-Agent Swarm Coordination** with hierarchical and mesh topologies
+- **HNSW Vector Search** - 150x-12,500x faster pattern retrieval
+- **SONA Neural Learning** - Self-optimizing with <0.05ms adaptation
+- **Byzantine Fault Tolerance** - Queen-led consensus mechanisms
+- **MCP Server Integration** - Model Context Protocol support
+
+### Current Configuration
+| Setting | Value |
+|---------|-------|
+| Topology | hierarchical-mesh |
+| Max Agents | 15 |
+| Memory Backend | hybrid |
+| HNSW Indexing | Enabled |
+| Neural Learning | Enabled |
+| LearningBridge | Enabled (SONA + ReasoningBank) |
+| Knowledge Graph | Enabled (PageRank + Communities) |
+| Agent Scopes | Enabled (project/local/user) |
+
+---
+
+## Swarm Orchestration
+
+### Topologies
+| Topology | Description | Best For |
+|----------|-------------|----------|
+| `hierarchical` | Queen controls workers directly | Anti-drift, tight control |

+- **EWC++**: Prevents catastrophic forgetting
+- **Flash Attention**: 2.49x-7.47x speedup
+- **Int8 Quantization**: 3.92x memory reduction
+
+### 4-Step Intelligence Pipeline
+1. **RETRIEVE** - HNSW pattern search
+2. **JUDGE** - Success/failure verdicts
+3. **DISTILL** - LoRA learning extraction
+4. **CONSOLIDATE** - EWC++ preservation
+
+### Self-Learning Memory (ADR-049)
+
+| Component | Status | Description |
+|-----------|--------|-------------|
+| **LearningBridge** | ✅ Enabled | Connects insights to SONA/ReasoningBank neural pipeline |
+| **MemoryGraph** | ✅ Enabled | PageRank knowledge graph + community detection |
+| **AgentMemoryScope** | ✅ Enabled | 3-scope agent memory (project/local/user) |
+
+**LearningBridge** - Insights trigger learning trajectories. Confidence evolves: +0.03 on access, -0.005/hour decay. Consolidation runs the JUDGE/DISTILL/CONSOLIDATE pipeline.
+
+**MemoryGraph** - Builds a knowledge graph from entry references. PageRank identifies influential insights. Communities group related knowledge. Graph-aware ranking blends vector + structural scores.
+
+**AgentMemoryScope** - Maps Claude Code 3-scope directories:
+- `project`: `<gitRoot>/.claude/agent-memory/<agent>/`
+- `local`: `<gitRoot>/.claude/agent-memory-local/<agent>/`
+- `user`: `~/.claude/agent-memory/<agent>/`
+
+High-confidence insights (>0.8) can transfer between agents.

 ## [Unreleased]

+## [0.33.0] — 2026-05-16
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Face-down cards render as tiny red squares (startup ordering bug)**. The
+  `load_initial_theme` system fell back to `"dark"` when `SettingsResource` was
+  not yet available at `Startup`, which happens on every fresh run before the
+  settings file is read. The dark theme's near-black card back (#151515) renders
+  as fully-off pixels on AMOLED screens, leaving only a 24×32 px red badge
+  visible. Changed the fallback to `"classic"` so startup behaviour matches the
+  `default_theme_id()` set in v0.31.0. Cascade-collapse and top-row legibility
+  issues were visual consequences of the same invisible-card-back problem, not
+  separate layout bugs.
+
+## [0.32.0] — 2026-05-16
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Stock-count badge overlaps waste pile on Android** (Bug 1). The badge was
+  centred 12 px inward from the stock pile's right edge, but its half-width of
+  17 px pushed it 5 px past the edge. On Android (`H_GAP_DIVISOR = 32`) the
+  inter-pile gap is only ~4 px, so the badge's top-right corner covered the
+  left edge of the adjacent waste card at `Z_STOCK_BADGE = 30` (above the
+  card's Z ≈ 1). Fixed by moving the inset to 20 px so the badge right edge
+  sits 3 px inside the stock card on every device.
+- **Oversized grey header bar** (Bug 2). The top HUD band was a full-width
+  `Node` with an opaque dark-grey `BackgroundColor` sized to `HUD_BAND_HEIGHT`
+  (64 px desktop / 80 px Android). Typical gameplay only shows one tier of
+  score text (~30 px), leaving a large empty grey block. Removed the
+  `BackgroundColor` from the band entity; the green felt now shows through and
+  only the score text and avatar button are visible in the header area.
+
+## [0.31.0] — 2026-05-16
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Face-down cards rendered as solid red squares on AMOLED phones** (Bug 1).
+  The dark theme's card back (`back.svg`) uses a near-black background
+  (`#151515`) which AMOLED screens render as fully-off pixels, leaving only a
+  tiny `#a54242` red badge visible — exactly what was reported. Fixed by
+  changing the fresh-install default theme from "dark" to "classic" (white
+  background with navy diamond pattern, clearly readable on all display types).
+  Also corrected stale asset paths in `load_card_images` (`cards/backs/back_N`
+  → `cards/backs/classic/back_N`, `cards/faces/XY` → `cards/faces/classic/XY`)
+  so the PNG fallback loads correctly when the embedded theme hasn't arrived yet.
+
+## [0.30.0] — 2026-05-16
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Tableau card spacing tightened.** Face-up card fan reduced from 25% to 18%
+  of card height; face-down from 20% to 14%. Cards on tableau piles sit closer
+  together while still showing enough of each card to read the pile depth.
+
+## [0.29.0] — 2026-05-16
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **APK versionCode hardcoded to 1** (`AndroidManifest.xml`, `build_android_apk.sh`).
+  Every release shipped with `versionCode="1"` / `versionName="1.0"`, so Android
+  silently refused upgrades and Obtainium permanently showed a false update
+  notification. The CI now derives the version code from the release tag
+  (e.g. v0.29.0 → 2900) and stamps it into the APK via `aapt2 link
+  --version-code / --version-name`.
+- **CI kustomize install flaky** (`.gitea/workflows/docker-build.yml`).
+  The `curl | bash install_kustomize.sh` pattern hit GitHub API rate limits
+  on the shared runner IP, causing a `tar: no such file` failure. Replaced
+  with a direct pinned tarball download (kustomize v5.4.3).
+
+## [0.28.0] — 2026-05-14
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Rename: Solitaire Quest → Ferrous Solitaire.** Android package id changed
+  from `com.solitairequest.app` to `com.ferrousapp.solitaire`; existing installs
+  must be uninstalled first (Android treats the new id as a new app).
+  Data directory renamed from `solitaire_quest/` to `ferrous_solitaire/`.

+### v0.35.0 — Accessibility + sync reliability (2026-05-18)
+
+| Commit | Summary |
+|--------|---------|
+| `eb6c93f` | Silence B0004 by adding Transform to ModalScrim |
+| `6f5cebd` | Fire WarningToastEvent on sync pull failure (was InfoToastEvent) |
+| `87aec5b` | Gate all decorative motion animations under `reduce_motion_mode` |

+(hud_plugin), card-shake on rejected move, foundation completion flourish
+(feedback_anim_plugin). Pattern: gate at the trigger/start system, never at
+the tick system — if the component isn't inserted, the tick path never runs.
+
+### v0.35.1 — Leaderboard bug fixes (2026-05-18)
+
+| Commit | Summary |
+|--------|---------|
+| `8f86d66` | Fix three leaderboard bugs: wrong toast type, stale label, name not synced |
+
+Three bugs fixed:
+
+1. **Wrong toast type on error** — `poll_opt_in_task` / `poll_opt_out_task` error
+   branches now fire `WarningToastEvent` instead of `InfoToastEvent`.
+
+2. **Display name not pushed to server on change** — `Settings` gains
+   `leaderboard_opted_in: bool` (serde-defaulted `false`). Set `true`/`false` when
+   opt-in/out tasks succeed and persisted to `settings.json`. `handle_display_name_confirm`
+   now spawns an `opt_in_leaderboard` task when already opted in — the server's upsert
+   endpoint updates only `display_name` without re-opting-in.
+
+3. **"Public name" label stale after name change** — `LeaderboardPublicNameText` marker
+   component added to the label node. `update_leaderboard_public_name_label` system
+   rewrites the text each frame the panel is open; O(0) cost when panel is closed.
+
+5 new regression tests cover all three bugs.
+
+---
+
+## Open punch list
+
+### 1. CHANGELOG documentation debt
+
+CHANGELOG.md currently ends at v0.33.0. Entries for v0.34.0, v0.35.0, and v0.35.1
+are missing. Low priority (git log is authoritative) but worth closing before the
+next release.
+
+### 2. Android APK launch verification (Option A)
+
+Physical device test: install the latest APK on a real Android device (not AVD),
+confirm:
+- App launches without crash
+- Safe area insets arrive and shift HUD correctly after ~3 frames
+- All modal Done buttons are above the gesture bar
+- Drag-and-drop works on all pile types
+- Leaderboard panel opens and the "Public name" label updates correctly after
+  using "Set Name"
+
+This has never been gated in CI. AVD `adb shell input tap` doesn't deliver real
+touch events, so physical-device smoke testing is the only gate.
+
+### 3. Matomo analytics wiring
+
+`Settings` has `analytics_enabled: bool` and `matomo_url: Option<String>` but no
+engine code consumes them — the analytics toggle in Settings is a no-op. If
+analytics are ever needed, the Matomo HTTP Tracking API client needs to be written
+and wired to `GameStateResource` events.
+
+---
+
+## Architectural notes for next session
+
+- **Reduce-motion pattern:** always gate in the `start_*` / `detect_*` system
+  (the trigger), not the `tick_*` system. If the component is never inserted, the
+  tick path never runs. See `hud_plugin.rs::detect_score_change` and
+  `feedback_anim_plugin.rs::start_shake_anim` for the canonical pattern.
+
+- **Leaderboard server upsert:** `POST /api/leaderboard/opt-in` is idempotent —
+  calling it when already opted in just updates `display_name`. Safe to call from
+  `handle_display_name_confirm` without tracking a separate "needs update" flag.
+
+- **`Messages<T>` API (Bevy 0.18.1):** write with
+  `resource_mut::<Messages<T>>().write(value)`; read in tests with
+  `msgs.get_cursor()` + `cursor.read(msgs).next()`.
+
+- **Test input-state pitfall:** `MinimalPlugins` has no input-tick system, so
+  `ButtonInput::just_pressed` state persists across frames unless explicitly cleared
+  with `input.release(key); input.clear()` between updates.
