Follow-up to the deferred item on #7472.

Problem

CR 205.4b reads:

An object's supertype is independent of its card type and subtype, even though some supertypes are closely identified with specific card types. Changing an object's card types or subtypes won't change its supertypes. […]

It is the supertype-independence rule. It was being cited for two things it does not say:

  1. non- negation — the rule says nothing about negation at all.
  2. "supertypes belong in the type layer" — 205.4b says supertypes are independent of card type and subtype, which is close to the opposite claim.

A wrong CR number is worse than none: it reads as "verified" against a rule that does not cover the code.

Commit 1 — negation sites

Per-site calls, not a sweep — as flagged on #7472, the correct rule depends on which characteristic is being negated. CR 109.3 enumerates them (name, mana cost, color, …, card type, subtype, supertype, …), and the parser's negation path is precisely a dispatch across that list.

Negation Example Citation
Card type noncreature, nonland, nonartifact CR 205.2a
Subtype non-Saga, that isn't a Demon CR 205.3
Color nonblack, nonwhite CR 105.2
Layer dispatch classify_negation, the stacked-prefix loop CR 109.3
Supertype nonbasic, nonlegendary, nonsnow CR 205.4a — already correct, untouched

14 sites across 5 files:

  • parser/oracle_target.rs — 9 (the set counted on Fix Make Your Move #7472)
  • types/ability.rs — 2 (TypeFilter::Non, FilterProp::NotColor)
  • parser/oracle_effect/mod.rs, parser/oracle_replacement.rs, parser/oracle_trigger_tests.rs — 1 each

The #7472 thread scoped this to oracle_target.rs; the same misattribution turned out to sit in four more files, including the TypeFilter::Non and FilterProp::NotColor variant docs — arguably the most load-bearing spots, since they define the types the parser emits. Fixing 9 of 14 would have left the citation untrustworthy, so the whole negation class is covered.

Commit 2 — Layer-4 sites

CR 613.1d already states that Layer 4 covers "an object's card type, subtype, and/or supertype", so it is self-sufficient wherever it appears; the + CR 205.4b pairing added nothing and asserted the wrong thing.

  • types/layers.rs — the Layer::Type match arm spans card types, subtypes and supertypes (AddTypeSetChosenBasicLandType), so CR 613.1d alone is correct. Promoted the trailing // to a described comment block, per the CR annotation rules in CLAUDE.md.
  • types/ability.rs (AddSupertype) — dropped the same trailing clause. Its RemoveSupertype sibling directly below already reads just "Applied at Layer 4 (CR 613.1d)"; the pair is now consistent.
  • bin/set_check.rsCR 205.4c ("Any land with the supertype 'basic' is a basic land") states is_basic_land's predicate exactly, where 205.4b did not.

Result

All 16 CR 205.4b citations left in the crate genuinely refer to supertype independence — snow-source layering, world/legend SBA base-characteristic reads, and the supertype grant/removal parser paths.

Verification

  • Every citation used (105.2, 109.3, 205.2a, 205.3, 205.4b, 205.4c, 601.2, 613.1d) grepped against docs/MagicCompRules.txt.
  • cargo fmt --all --check clean.
  • cargo check -p phase-engine --all-targets clean.
  • Comment-only diff — no behavior change, no card movement, no coverage delta.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The oracle parsers now support reordered counter choices, creature-eligible P/T distribution, and permanent Aura reanimation duration. The change also updates rules references, layer documentation, and parser tests.

Changes

Oracle parser and rules updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
P/T distribution and validation
crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_target.rs
Classifies P/T properties, backfills types, restricts recipients to eligible creature legs, and safely relocates misplaced properties. Tests cover distribution and rehoming cases.
Reordered counter-choice parsing
crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/mod.rs, crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_replacement.rs
Parses bare and reordered “from among” counter lists, creates unordered counter-pair choices, chains self-targeted effects, and preserves enters-tapped handling.
Permanent reanimation duration
crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/mod.rs, crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_trigger_tests.rs
Sets Aura reanimation effects to Duration::Permanent and updates related test expectations.
Rules references and layer documentation
crates/engine/src/parser/..., crates/engine/src/types/..., crates/engine/src/bin/set_check.rs
Updates rules citations and comments for negation, type filters, color filters, Layer 4 changes, basic lands, and noncreature qualifications.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 11fff

This PR only corrects rules citations and does not change runtime behavior; formatting and compilation checks are clean. A narrow parser consistency issue around recipient-pronoun handling could reject some equivalent wording, so the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and a small follow-up.

Current-head review hold

Reviewed head 90c170e8e0155957ede7f3688184274f14a9956e; the citation-only diff is clean on manual review. In particular, the changed annotations agree with the checked rule text: CR 205.4c defines basic lands, CR 205.2a enumerates card types, CR 205.3 covers subtypes, CR 105.2 covers color, CR 109.3 enumerates the characteristic dispatch, and CR 613.1d places type/subtype/supertype changes in Layer 4. Current CodeRabbit feedback has no actionable items.

This head is held only for current required evidence: Rust lint/tests and frontend checks remain pending, and the parse-diff sticky comment is still bound to prior head 1757aa18445c3902d4cfd66432ce27ea09ccf8e7, not this merge head. Please let CI publish green results and a parse-diff receipt for this exact SHA, then request re-review.

Current-head CI hold — unrelated server-test failure

Reviewed head 90c170e8e0155957ede7f3688184274f14a9956e. The citation diff and its SHA-bound parse receipt are still clean. The remaining required CI evidence is terminal-red solely because Rust tests (shard 4/4) failed phase-server::metrics_tests::concurrent_upgrades_cannot_exceed_the_connection_cap (run 32674887957, job 97281224926), at crates/phase-server/src/main.rs:11400 with player_count 0 rather than 1.

This is not a change in this PR: the PR diff contains no crates/phase-server/** files, while the failing test and its connection-cap implementation were introduced by merged #7614 (7036deecc). The test aborts the server at main.rs:11395 before asserting player_count at :11400-11404; connection teardown decrements that counter at :2608-2609, so the observed zero is consistent with the test's shutdown race. Please keep this PR held while maintainers repair or otherwise clear that upstream CI failure; no contributor-side citation change is indicated.

Fix for the blocking CI failure is up as #7803

Re: the current-head CI hold — agreed that the shard 4/4 failure is unrelated to this PR's diff. A fix for it is now open as #7803.

Root cause, which is slightly different from the shutdown race described above:

WebSocketUpgrade::on_upgrade spawns its callback as an independent task, so server.abort() never kills handle_socket. The window is one step earlier. That callback owns the armed ConnectionSlot, and it only runs once hyper::upgrade::OnUpgrade resolves — a future driven by the connection task living inside the aborted server handle. So aborting before the assertion fails the upgrade, axum drops the closure along with the still-armed guard without ever calling handle_socket, and ConnectionSlot::drop releases the reservation. player_count reads 0 rather than 1.

The admitted racer has already been handed its 101 by that point and the test holds its sockets open, so nothing in the assertions needs the server stopped first. #7803 moves abort() below them.

One caveat stated plainly, and it is also in that commit message: I could not reproduce this locally. 40 pre-fix runs on the 4-thread runtime and 20 more on a starved single-thread runtime were all green, so the post-fix green runs prove nothing on their own. The change rests on the ownership analysis rather than on a repro. It strictly removes a teardown step that can only ever decrement the counter under assertion, so it cannot regress — but it is reasoning, not a demonstrated repro, and should be reviewed as such.

Also checked: this is a single-site issue, not a class. The only other counter read shortly after a server.abort() in that module is a reject_count, which is monotonic and untouched by any release path. player_count is the one counter teardown mutates.

I don't have permission to enqueue #7803 or to re-run this PR's existing CI run, so both need a maintainer. Once #7803 lands I'll rebase this branch to pick up a green run for the exact head.

CR 205.4b states that an object's supertype is independent of its card
type and subtype. It says nothing about negation, so it was the wrong
citation for every `non-` prefix the parser handles.

Corrected per site rather than swept, since the right rule depends on
which characteristic is being negated (CR 109.3):

- card-type negation ("noncreature", "nonland")  -> CR 205.2a
- subtype negation ("non-Saga", "that isn't a Demon") -> CR 205.3
- color negation ("nonblack") -> CR 105.2
- the dispatchers that route a negated word to its layer -> CR 109.3

Supertype negation ("nonbasic", "nonlegendary", "nonsnow") already cited
CR 205.4a and is left as is.

Comment-only; no behavior change. Every remaining CR 205.4b in the crate
now genuinely refers to supertype independence.

Folds in the three non-negation sites flagged on this PR.

CR 613.1d already states that Layer 4 covers "an object's card type,
subtype, and/or supertype", so it is self-sufficient wherever it appears.
Pairing it with CR 205.4b to argue that supertypes belong in the type
layer is a non-sequitur — 205.4b says supertypes are INDEPENDENT of card
type and subtype, which is close to the opposite claim.

- types/layers.rs: the Layer::Type arm spans card types, subtypes AND
  supertypes, so CR 613.1d alone is the right citation. Promoted the
  trailing comment to a described block per the CR annotation rules.
- types/ability.rs (AddSupertype): dropped the same trailing clause,
  matching its RemoveSupertype sibling directly below.
- bin/set_check.rs: CR 205.4c ("Any land with the supertype 'basic' is a
  basic land") states the is_basic_land predicate exactly, where 205.4b
  did not.

Every CR 205.4b left in the crate now refers to supertype independence.

Comment-only; no behavior change.

4862-4874: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Reuse the shared recipient-pronoun authority for the self-reference check.

strip_enters_with_choice_target validates the recipient against SELF_AND_OBJECT_PRONOUNS, and the per-each suffix parsers delegate to nom_primitives::parse_object_recipient_pronoun. This new helper hardcodes alt((tag("it"), tag("~"))), so a printed "on him"/"on her"/"on them" variant of the same wording falls through silently. Delegating keeps one authority for the pronoun set.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-    // CR 614.12a: the recipient must be the entering permanent itself.
-    let (rest, _) = alt((tag::<_, _, OracleError<'_>>("it"), tag("~")))
-        .parse(rest)
-        .ok()?;
+    // CR 614.12a: the recipient must be the entering permanent itself.
+    // `parse_object_recipient_pronoun` is the single authority for the

+    let (rest, _) = alt((
