Summary

Parses "for each player who lost life this turn" as a dynamic
QuantityRef::PlayerCount instead of collapsing it to Fixed(1) — fixing
Reaper's Scythe (soul counters) and Strefan, Maurer Progenitor (Blood
tokens), whose end-step counts were silently stuck at 1 (backlog root cause #5,
"Dropped 'for each' / dynamic count collapsed to Fixed").

The "opponent" scope already worked (PlayerFilter::OpponentLostLife). Per the
/add-engine-variant gate (a 3rd within-CR-119 life-change cell is a
sibling-cluster smell → REFACTOR_FIRST), this parameterizes the retired
sibling pair OpponentLostLife / OpponentGainedLife into one
PlayerFilter::LifeChangedThisTurn { scope: PlayerRelation, direction: LifeChangeDirection }, reusing the existing PlayerRelation { Controller, Opponent, All } axis and the canonical players::matches_relation scope
resolver. The new all-players lost-life cell ({ All, Lost }) is what the two
cards needed; the { All, Gained } cell is cardless and intentionally fails
closed (honest Unimplemented).

Files changed

  • crates/engine/src/types/ability.rs — add LifeChangeDirection; replace the OpponentLostLife/OpponentGainedLife unit variants with the parameterized PlayerFilter::LifeChangedThisTurn { scope, direction }.
  • crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_nom/quantity.rs — generalize the for-each life-change combinator (opponent[s]Opponent, player[s]All); nom prefix-dispatch, one alt per axis.
  • crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_target.rs — thread the parameterized variant through the controller-predicate bridge (behavior-preserving { Opponent, Lost }).
  • crates/engine/src/game/quantity.rs, game/effects/mod.rs, game/effects/deal_damage.rs, game/effects/speed_effects.rs — runtime resolution via matches_relation(scope) + the direction life-ledger.
  • crates/engine/src/game/{layers,triggers,cost_payability,filter,ability_rw,ability_scan,coverage}.rs, parser/{oracle_effect/lower,swallow_check}.rs — collapse the two exhaustive-match arms into one LifeChangedThisTurn { .. } arm (behavior identical for the opponent cases).
  • crates/engine/tests/integration/for_each_player_who_lost_life.rs (new) + tests/integration/main.rs — SHAPE + discriminating RUNTIME tests.
  • crates/engine/tests/fixtures/integration_cards.json.gz — regenerated (parse shape changed for fixture cards).
  • docs/parser-misparse-backlog.md — removed Reaper's Scythe, Strefan (fixed) and Teysa, Opulent Oligarch (already-correct/stale) from §5; updated counts.

Claimed parse impact

6 cards, all in the life-change player-count family:

  • Behavioral fix (2): Reaper's Scythe, Strefan, Maurer Progenitor — end-step
    count changes from Fixed(1) to PlayerCount{LifeChangedThisTurn{All, Lost}}.
  • Serialization-only rename (4): Belbe, Corrupted Observer; Gev, Scaled
    Scorch; Kaito, Bane of Nightmares; Teysa, Opulent Oligarch — their
    PlayerFilter::OpponentLostLife becomes the equivalent
    LifeChangedThisTurn{Opponent, Lost}. Runtime behavior is identical
    (matches_relation(Opponent) == the old is_opponent); only the serialized
    parse_details shape changed, which is why they surface in the parse-diff.

Scope Expansion

The parameterization routes the life-change count/recipient scope through the
canonical players::matches_relation (topology-aware is_opponent, CR
102.2/102.3) uniformly, where the retired OpponentLostLife/OpponentGainedLife
resolution used raw p.id != controller at the quantity/damage/speed sites.
Identical in every non-team format; in Two-Headed Giant it correctly excludes
teammates from the "opponent" scope (a latent-correctness improvement, consistent
with the recipient sites that already used is_opponent). No card's intended
behavior changes.

Validation Failures

None.

CI Failures

None.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added flexible filtering for players who gained or lost life during the current turn.
    • Effects can now evaluate life changes for opponents or broader player scopes where supported.
    • Added support for “for each player who lost life this turn” effects, including accurate counts and resulting tokens or counters.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved parsing and resolution of life-change conditions across targeting, counting, damage, and triggered effects.
    • Corrected handling for controller-only, opponent-only, all-player, and zero-life-loss scenarios.

Reaper's Scythe and Strefan, Maurer Progenitor collapsed their end-step
"for each player who lost life this turn" count to Fixed(1) (backlog root
cause phase-rs#5). Per the /add-engine-variant gate, parameterize the
OpponentLostLife / OpponentGainedLife sibling pair into one
PlayerFilter::LifeChangedThisTurn { scope: PlayerRelation, direction:
LifeChangeDirection }, reusing the existing PlayerRelation axis and the
canonical players::matches_relation scope resolver, and add the all-players
lost-life cell the two cards need. The {All, Gained} cell is cardless and
fails closed.

CR 119.3 (life loss), CR 119.9 (life gain), CR 102.2/102.3 (opponent topology).

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR replaces opponent-specific life-change filters with LifeChangedThisTurn, using explicit player scope and gained/lost direction. It updates parsing, runtime evaluation, formatting, read tracking, and integration tests for opponent and all-player life-loss counts.

Changes

Life-change filter generalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Filter contract and parser mappings
crates/engine/src/types/ability.rs, crates/engine/src/parser/...
Adds LifeChangeDirection and parameterizes LifeChangedThisTurn by relation and direction. Parser support now includes opponent gained/lost life and all-player lost life.
Runtime filter evaluation
crates/engine/src/game/..., crates/engine/src/game/effects/*
Updates player selection, quantity resolution, damage effects, layer routing, read profiling, coverage, and exhaustive matches to use the generalized filter.
Integration validation and backlog updates
crates/engine/tests/integration/..., docs/parser-misparse-backlog.md
Adds Reaper’s Scythe and Strefan scenarios for controller, opponent, and zero life-loss counts. Existing Kaito and Teysa tests use the structured filter.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to eeccd

The PR makes life-loss counts dynamic for all qualifying players, but the current implementation can produce false-green parser validation and can incorrectly exclude qualifying players in a related controller predicate; a required rules annotation is also missing. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and readiness issues to be addressed.

7165-7197: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the player-scope mismatch in the "lost life this turn" bridge.

parse_controller_predicate_clause builds PlayerFilter::LifeChangedThisTurn { scope: PlayerRelation::Opponent, direction: LifeChangeDirection::Lost } for the clause "controlled by a player who lost life this turn". The printed grammar says "a player", not "an opponent". The inline comment on this segment already states that scope: All is the semantically correct choice and that Opponent is only kept to preserve current behavior.

If a future card reaches this bridge, the filter will silently exclude the ability's own controller (and other non-opponent players) from "a player who lost life this turn", even when they qualify. This is a printed-grammar mismatch, not a style nit.

Change scope: PlayerRelation::Opponent to scope: PlayerRelation::All to match the unqualified "a player" wording, and add a regression test pinning "controlled by a player who lost life this turn" to the all-players scope.

Add the required CR annotation to the new classification.

Lines 11491 and 13610 add LifeChangedThisTurn { .. } to rules-sensitive match arms, but neither arm documents the rule that justifies this no-turn-player classification. The nearby CR 120.1 + CR 510.1 note describes damaged-this-turn, not this life-change filter. Add a checked CR <number>: <description> annotation before merge.

As per path instructions: rules-touching code in crates/engine/** requires a verified CR <number>: <description> annotation.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep this exemption occurrence-balanced.

detect_duration_this_turn receives card-level evidence, but this branch returns when any LifeChangedThisTurn node exists. The upstream parser now emits this node for the all-player/lost-life phrase in crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_nom/quantity.rs Lines 3048-3095. If a card also contains a separate swallowed effect duration, Line 4317 exits before OracleDiagnostic::swallowed_clause, producing a false-green parser audit. Return only when every this turn occurrence is accounted for, or preserve the diagnostic for unclaimed occurrences.

Blocked — the new player-life-count surface has two correctness gaps that can silently broaden or hide parser support.

🔴 Blocker

  1. crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_target.rs:7181-7191 parses the unqualified printed phrase controlled by a player who lost life this turn as LifeChangedThisTurn { scope: Opponent, direction: Lost }. Evidence: the parser consumes a player, while its adjacent comment itself says All is the correct future extension; Opponent excludes the resolving controller and can therefore exclude a qualifying player. Why it matters: this general bridge would produce an incorrect filter as soon as that Oracle class is reached. Suggested fix: emit PlayerRelation::All for this grammar and add a parser regression that pins the controller-predicate filter to All.

  2. crates/engine/src/parser/swallow_check.rs:4314-4320 returns when any LifeChangedThisTurn evidence exists, while the same detector deliberately occurrence-balances other this turn exemptions at 4049-4056 and 4082-4094. Evidence: a parsed life-count occurrence can now suppress OracleDiagnostic::swallowed_clause for a separate, unrepresented this turn duration in the same parser unit. Why it matters: the parser can report false supported coverage after this change. Suggested fix: make this new typed-history exemption occurrence-balanced and add a mixed life-count-plus-independent-duration detector regression.

✅ Clean

The current-head parse artifact is bound to eeccdd23 and its three-card / five-signature delta matches the stated Reaper's Scythe, Strefan, and Gev scope. The integration tests also exercise the end-step production path for the new all-player count.

Recommendation: address both blockers, then request a fresh current-head review.

This is your first contribution in this review history; please include the relevant current-head Gate A and final /review-impl evidence when updating the PR, as described in docs/AI-CONTRIBUTOR.md.
