Fixes #7945.

What: Casting a disguise/morph card from exile under a "without paying its mana cost" grant auto-routed into the face-down cast and charged the {3} — no prompt, no free cast (live: Dauthi Voidwalker's grant on a Bubble Smuggler). The face-down offer priced the normal path at the printed cost, so only the {3} looked affordable and #7778's auto-route fired.

How: CR 118.9a ("Only one alternative cost can be applied to any one spell as it's being cast") + CR 601.2b ("A player can't apply two alternative methods of casting or two alternative costs to a single spell"). The FaceDown variant now takes zone authority only from normal-cost routes — one gate per admission path:

  • has_exile_cast_permission is variant-aware: the alternative-cost arms (ExileWithAltCost, ExileWithAltAbilityCost, ExileWithEnergyCost, Plotted, Foretold) lend no authority to FaceDown, and the head PlayFromExile check skips the land/look companion that cast_from_zone.rs installs alongside an alt-cost "play" grant.
  • castable_zone in prepare_spell_cast_..._inner: the unowned-exile alt-cost branch, the during-resolution free-cast window, and the graveyard alt-cost/keyword branches are FaceDown-gated.

Normal-cost authorities are untouched: hand, command zone, impulse PlayFromExile, Adventure, Warp, Lurrus-class graveyard permissions, top-of-library (Future Sight + morph stays legal), battlefield exile-cast statics.

Evidence

  • Regression a_free_granted_disguise_card_casts_face_up_and_free: the full Dauthi chain (kill → void-counter exile → sacrifice → pick) with a pool of exactly {3} — the cast must resolve face up with the pool untouched. Red before the fix (entered face down, {3} charged).
  • Positive counter-direction from_hand_the_face_down_auto_route_is_preserved: from hand with only {3} floating, the fix(engine): offer the face-down cast when only the {3} is payable #7778 auto-route still casts face down and charges the {3}.
  • Counter-probes: each of the three gates removed individually turns exactly the regression red (1 failed / 1 passed); restored, 2/2.
  • Full --lib + --test integration suites green, clippy clean (numbers in CI).
  • Live test on the local build: the reported Bubble Smuggler line now casts face up and free.

Known gaps

  • Other card-native alternative methods (Bestow, Evoke, Prototype) can still take zone authority from an alt-cost exile grant — the same CR 601.2b class, left for a separate follow-up.
  • A genuine independent impulse PlayFromExile coexisting with a free grant on the same card also loses its face-down offer — the permissions carry no source link to tell the companion apart; conservative under CR 118.9a.
  • Adjacent to open fix(engine): keep the cast-time face choice per cast, not per object (#7565) #7568 (cast-time face choice per cast) — happy to rebase/coordinate.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected face-down casting for cards cast from exile or through alternative-cost permissions.
    • Prevented incompatible permissions from being selected for face-down casts.
    • Preserved valid normal-cost casting and automatic face-down behavior when appropriate.
    • Fixed free exile-grant casts so cards enter the battlefield correctly without spending mana or entering face down.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for face-down casting and free exile-grant interactions.

Fixes phase-rs#7945. CR 118.9a (only one alternative cost per cast) + CR 601.2b
(never two alternative methods/costs on one spell): a "without paying its
mana cost" exile grant is itself the alternative cost being applied, so it
cannot admit the {3} face-down (morph/disguise) cast — which auto-routed
and charged {3} whenever the printed cost looked unaffordable (phase-rs#7778's
auto-route, correct from hand, wrong under an alt-cost grant).

Three gates, one per admission path of the `FaceDown` variant:
- `has_exile_cast_permission` is variant-aware: the alternative-cost arms
  (`ExileWithAltCost`, `ExileWithAltAbilityCost`, `ExileWithEnergyCost`,
  `Plotted`, `Foretold`) lend it no authority, and the head `PlayFromExile`
  check skips the land/look companion that `cast_from_zone.rs` installs
  alongside an alt-cost "play" grant.
- `castable_zone`: the unowned-exile alt-cost branch, the
  during-resolution free-cast window, and the graveyard alt-cost/keyword
  branches are FaceDown-gated.
Normal-cost authorities (hand, command zone, impulse `PlayFromExile`,
Adventure, Warp, Lurrus-class graveyard permissions, top-of-library,
battlefield exile-cast statics) are untouched.

Known gaps: Bestow/Evoke/Prototype can still take zone authority from an
alt-cost exile grant (same CR 601.2b class, separate follow-up); an
independent impulse `PlayFromExile` coexisting with a free grant also
loses its face-down offer (no source link distinguishes the companion).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The casting engine now distinguishes normal-cost exile permissions from alternative-cost and land-look companion permissions. Face-down casts reject conflicting routes. Provenance migration and regression tests cover free exile casting, normal disguise casting, companion filtering, and serialization.

Changes

Face-down casting permissions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Permission contract and grant wiring
crates/engine/src/types/ability.rs, crates/engine/src/game/effects/*, crates/engine/src/parser/*, crates/engine/src/game/casting_costs.rs
Permissions now record play provenance and exile-cost provenance. Constructors identify impulse, land-look companion, alternative-cost, and normal-cost routes.
Casting permission validation
crates/engine/src/game/casting.rs
Face-down checks accept normal-cost exile grants, reject incompatible alternative-cost grants, skip companion permissions, and search for matching cost sources.
Casting regression coverage
crates/engine/src/game/casting_tests.rs, crates/engine/tests/integration/*
Tests cover provenance serialization, source ordering, companion interaction, free exile casting, and issue 7945. Free exile casting remains face up and does not spend mana. Hand casting still uses face-down disguise and spends {3}.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9a0bd

The PR fixes the reported free-cast routing bug, but the current head is not merge-ready: when multiple matching permissions exist, face-down casting can select the wrong source and inherit an alternative cost, producing an incorrectly priced or rules-invalid cast. Compatibility of legacy companion records also remains unestablished and should be explicitly addressed or accepted.

Request changes — the reported Dauthi route is covered, but the current authority test is still unsound.

🔴 Blocker

[HIGH] The face-down admission test conflates a concurrent alternative-cost permission with the authority elected for this cast. Evidence: crates/engine/src/game/casting.rs:3135-3144 sets alt_cost_grant_covers_player from any matching ExileWithAltCost/ExileWithAltAbilityCost, then suppresses every PlayFromExile route; however selected_object_cast_permission_index already identifies the exact PlayFromExile slot for the selected variant at casting.rs:3796-3819. Why it matters: an independent impulse PlayFromExile permission and an unrelated free-cast permission may coexist on one exiled disguise/morph card; this code rejects the legal face-down cast that elects the normal-cost permission. Suggested fix: carry a typed elected cast authority/provenance (the selected permission index or equivalent) into face-down admission, and reject only the exact alternative-cost authority selected for that cast.

[HIGH] A free static exile permission still unconditionally authorizes FaceDown. Evidence: crates/engine/src/game/casting.rs:3171 accepts any exile_cast_permission_source, while the returned ExileCastCost distinguishes WithoutPayingManaCost from PayNormalCost in crates/engine/src/types/statics.rs:370-385. Why it matters: a Maralen-style free static is itself the alternative cost and cannot supply authority for the face-down {3} alternative; the current Dauthi-only regression does not exercise this path. Suggested fix: make the selected static authority part of the same typed election and gate face-down on its cost mode, rather than using a boolean existence scan.

✅ Clean

The Dauthi regression reaches the runtime activation/casting path and the hand control preserves the existing auto-route. Current CI is still pending and the engine/parser parse-diff receipt has not yet arrived, so neither is approval evidence for this head.

Recommendation: rework this around elected authority provenance, then add runtime coverage for (1) a free StaticMode::ExileCastPermission plus disguise and (2) an independent normal-cost PlayFromExile permission coexisting with an unrelated free grant.

Parse changes introduced by this PR

Baseline pending for 7f52cfed6f36f2186f5e39a28da8fe6b34c57bf0 — this populates once main publishes its coverage snapshot (a few minutes after that commit landed).

Review rework for phase-rs#7948, both blockers:

- Typed provenance: `PlayFromExile.land_look_companion` marks the
  land-play/look companion that `cast_from_zone` installs alongside an
  alternative-cost grant. Cast elections and the face-down authority skip
  companions, so an independent impulse grant coexisting with an unrelated
  free grant keeps its legal face-down cast — the previous presence
  heuristic suppressed it (CR 118.9a: the impulse route is a normal-cost
  route; disguise supplies the single alternative cost).
- A free `StaticMode::ExileCastPermission` (`WithoutPayingManaCost`,
  Maralen-class) no longer lends the face-down cast zone authority; a
  `PayNormalCost` static (The Matrix of Time class) keeps doing so
  (CR 118.9a + CR 601.2b).

Serde: the marker is default-off and skipped when false — the wire form of
every pre-existing grant is unchanged; pinned by a round-trip test.

Not independently observable today: the companion filter inside
`selected_object_cast_permission_index` (companions carry no cost riders);
it keeps the elected provenance consistent with the authority gate. The
coexistence case is pinned at the prepare admission gate
(`face_down_cast_is_permitted`), not through the full payment loop.

Both blockers reworked in e27898f around elected-authority provenance.

Blocker 1 (presence → provenance): PlayFromExile carries a typed land_look_companion marker, set only by the cast_from_zone companion install. Cast elections (selected_object_cast_permission_index) and the face-down authority skip companions — an independent impulse grant coexisting with an unrelated free grant keeps its legal face-down cast; the presence heuristic is gone. Coverage (both pinned at the prepare admission gate face_down_cast_is_permitted): independent_impulse_grant_keeps_face_down_authority_beside_a_free_grant, a_companion_grant_lends_no_face_down_authority. Counter-probe (companion filter removed) fails exactly those plus the Dauthi regression.

Blocker 2 (free statics): the static fallback in has_exile_cast_permission gates on the returned ExileCastCostWithoutPayingManaCost lends the face-down cast no authority, PayNormalCost keeps doing so. Coverage: free_static_exile_permission_lends_no_face_down_authority / normal_cost_static_exile_permission_keeps_face_down_authority (also prepare-level); counter-probe red/green.

Serde: the marker is default-off and skipped when false — every pre-existing grant's wire form is unchanged (legacy_play_from_exile_form_round_trips_without_the_companion_marker).

Not independently observable today: the election-side companion filter (companions carry no cost riders) — it keeps elected provenance consistent with the authority gate. The coexistence case is pinned at the prepare gate, not through the full payment loop. Full lib (19768) + integration (5517) suites green, clippy clean.

Request changes — the face-down authority still rejects normal-cost cast-from-zone grants.

🔴 Blocker

[HIGH] Normal-cost CastFromZone grants are still classified as alternative-cost authority.

cast_from_zone.rs:1427-1433 creates CastingPermission::ExileWithAltCost with cost: obj.mana_cost when without_paying_mana_cost is false. For mode: Play, the same resolution also installs the PlayFromExile companion at 1475-1504. has_exile_cast_permission then rejects both ExileWithAltCost and ExileWithAltAbilityCost for CastingVariant::FaceDown at casting.rs:3161-3164, and the companion is intentionally excluded at 3133-3151.

That means a card with disguise that is permitted to be cast normally from exile by one of these grants cannot be cast face down for {3}. Disguise permits casting the card face down from any zone from which it could normally be cast (CR 702.168a-b); it is the selected payment route, not the fact that the implementation currently stores a normal mana cost in ExileWithAltCost, that determines whether another alternative method is being combined.

Please make the CastFromZone election carry typed normal-vs-alternative-cost provenance, and use that elected provenance consistently for face-down admission and cost selection. In particular, cover production GameAction paths for:

  1. normal-cost mode: Cast from exile;
  2. normal-cost mode: Play from exile (including its land/look companion); and
  3. free-grant controls, which must still deny the face-down route.

The current prepare-level tests are useful probes but do not discriminate the real action/payment pipeline for the normal-cost routes. CI and the parse-diff receipt are still pending for this head; that is an evidence gap, not the code defect above.

@matthewevans matthewevans removed their assignment Aug 26, 2026
Review follow-up for phase-rs#7948: replace the raw `land_look_companion: bool`
with `PlayFromExileProvenance { Impulse, LandLookCompanion }` — the
project's typed-enum rule for case distinctions, self-documenting and
open for further provenance without another boolean.

No bool-compat shim: the bool form never shipped (it existed only on the
previous head of this branch); pre-marker grants deserialize to the
`Impulse` default, and the default stays off the wire (round-trip test
updated).

3188-3190: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Search all eligible static sources before applying the FaceDown cost gate.

exile_cast_permission_source returns only the first matching static source. This predicate then rejects FaceDown when that source uses ExileCastCost::WithoutPayingManaCost, even if a later eligible source uses ExileCastCost::PayNormalCost.

A free source can therefore hide a normal-cost source and incorrectly make a legal FaceDown cast unavailable. Filter PayNormalCost during source selection, or add a variant-aware helper that searches all matching sources. CR 118.9a permits only one alternative cost, so a normal-cost exile permission must remain available while FaceDown supplies its own alternative method. (media.wizards.com)

Add a regression with both static permission costs and the free source ordered first.

…venance

Review follow-up for phase-rs#7948: the search-found replacement grants a plain
"you may play it" permission at normal costs (the any-color concession
changes only how they are paid, CR 609.4b) — no alternative cost, so the
grant is full cast authority (`Impulse`), preserving the
one-alternative-cost invariant (CR 118.9a) at cast election.

Request changes — face-down static authority must search the eligible cost mode, not stop at the first source.

🔴 Blocker

[HIGH] has_exile_cast_permission asks exile_cast_permission_source whether any static grants access, then only afterward rejects a WithoutPayingManaCost source for FaceDown at crates/engine/src/game/casting.rs:3188-3190. The helper returns the first matching source via find_map at casting.rs:4464-4484. Thus, if an eligible free source appears first and an eligible PayNormalCost source appears later, the free source hides the valid normal-cost authority and a legal face-down cast is denied. The adjacent authority documentation already identifies this exact multi-source first-match hazard at casting.rs:4495-4504.

CR 118.9a says: "Only one alternative cost can be applied to any one spell as it’s being cast." A PayNormalCost static can provide the zone permission while the face-down {3} route is the sole alternative; a free static cannot, but it must not suppress the later normal-cost source.

Suggested fix: make the face-down predicate select/search an eligible PayNormalCost static (or use a variant-aware permission helper) after applying the same source gates, rather than filtering the result of a first-match scan. Add a production casting-path regression with both active source costs and the free source ordered first.

🟡 Evidence gap

The parse-diff sticky receipt is bound to c689cf1686c6a239daf417ff1432e75ab8071b29, not this review head c72f56ddbfd5b260bfd019147e7f0de2a9009108; please include a current-head receipt after the correction.

Recommendation: request changes — repair the multi-source authority selection, add the discriminating runtime regression, and provide the current-head parse-diff evidence.

… source

Review round-2 blocker on phase-rs#7948: the face-down admission filtered the
RESULT of `exile_cast_permission_source`'s first-match scan, so an
eligible free source ordered before an eligible `PayNormalCost` source
hid the valid normal-cost authority and denied a legal face-down cast
(CR 118.9a: the {3} face-down route is the sole alternative there).

`exile_cast_permission_source_matching` applies a cost predicate INSIDE
the scan, behind the same source gates (frequency slot, your-turn timing,
pool membership, affected filter); the public first-match scan delegates
with an always-true predicate. The face-down admission now searches for a
`PayNormalCost` source.

Regression `a_free_static_ordered_first_does_not_hide_a_normal_cost_static`
(both statics active, free source ordered first, pinned down to
`face_down_cast_is_permitted`); counter-probe (old filtered first-match
restored) fails exactly that test — which also proves the free source
really is scanned first in the fixture.

Round-2 blocker fixed in 12d17c3: the face-down admission no longer filters the result of the first-match scan. exile_cast_permission_source_matching applies a cost predicate INSIDE the scan, behind the same source gates (frequency slot, your-turn timing, pool membership, affected filter); the public first-match scan delegates with an always-true predicate, and the face-down case searches for an eligible PayNormalCost source.

Regression a_free_static_ordered_first_does_not_hide_a_normal_cost_static: both statics active, the free source ordered first, pinned down to face_down_cast_is_permitted. Counter-probe (old filtered first-match restored) fails exactly that test — which also proves the fixture's free source really is scanned first. Full lib (19769) + integration (5517) suites and clippy green.

The parse-diff receipt for this head arrives with the CI run now in flight.

**Request changes — the previous static-permission issue is resolved, but normal-cost CastFromZone permission still cannot authorize disguise.

🔴 Blocker

[HIGH] Normal-cost CastFromZone grants are encoded as alternative-cost authority, so a granted normal cast cannot also be cast using disguise. Evidence: crates/engine/src/game/effects/cast_from_zone.rs:1405-1408 explicitly identifies without_paying_mana_cost: false as normal mana payment, yet :1427-1437 always installs CastingPermission::ExileWithAltCost; crates/engine/src/game/casting.rs:3162-3164 rejects every ExileWithAltCost for FaceDown, and :3133-3152 excludes the mode-Play LandLookCompanion added at cast_from_zone.rs:1475-1504. Why it matters: a normal-cost permission to cast from a zone should permit disguise from that zone, but the permission representation makes that route unreachable. CR 702.168a says disguise functions “in any zone from which you could play the card,” and CR 702.168b says it “follows the rules for paying alternative costs” and permits casting from any zone from which it could normally be cast. Suggested fix: carry normal-cost versus alternative-cost provenance in the CastFromZone permission authority, then have face-down availability consume that authority rather than treating the normal-mana ExileWithAltCost shape as an alternative-cost grant.

✅ Clean

The static-permission selection issue from the prior review is resolved on this head.

Recommendation: request changes for a provenance-level fix, with discriminating GameAction regressions for both CardPlayMode::Cast and CardPlayMode::Play normal-cost grants.

@matthewevans matthewevans removed their assignment Aug 27, 2026
Round-3 blocker on phase-rs#7948: a "you may play/cast that card" grant with
ordinary payment (Nashi-class) is encoded as `ExileWithAltCost`, so the
face-down gates treated it as an alternative-cost grant and a legal
disguise cast through it was unreachable (CR 702.168a/b: disguise
functions in any zone from which you could play the card).

`ExileGrantCostProvenance { Alternative, NormalCost }` now types what the
grant's cost IS: `NormalCost` marks the card's own printed cost restated
(cast_from_zone `without_paying: false`, the SelfManaCost re-home, the
prepared back face, resolution FullCost); everything else stays
`Alternative` (the serde default — every pre-provenance grant reads as
the CR-safe conservative form, pinned by a both-forms serde test). The
face-down admission (permission arm + unowned/graveyard zone branches)
accepts `NormalCost` grants as normal-cost routes; the face-down cast
still never ELECTS an `ExileWithAltCost` slot, since cost preparation
would substitute the grant's restated cost for the {3} — named limit: a
`single_use` normal-cost grant is not consumed by a face-down cast.

GameAction regressions (both through `GameRunner::cast`, printed {5}
unaffordable, {3} floating): `a_normal_cost_cast_grant_lets_disguise_
cast_face_down` (CardPlayMode::Cast shape) and `a_normal_cost_play_
grant_with_companion_lets_disguise_cast_face_down` (Play shape with the
land/look companion present). Counter-probe (provenance exception
removed) fails exactly those two; the Dauthi regression stays green.

Round-3 blocker fixed in 9a0bd12 with typed cost provenance on the grant itself: ExileGrantCostProvenance { Alternative, NormalCost } on ExileWithAltCost. NormalCost marks a grant whose cost is the card's own printed cost restated — set by cast_from_zone for without_paying: false, the SelfManaCost neutral re-home, the prepared back face, and resolution FullCost; everything else (free grants, airbend, suspend-class, during-resolution Free/AlternativeMana) stays Alternative, which is also the serde default every pre-provenance grant deserializes to (both-forms serde test).

The face-down admission (permission arm + the unowned-exile and graveyard zone branches) accepts NormalCost grants as normal-cost routes per CR 702.168a/b. The face-down cast still never ELECTS an ExileWithAltCost slot — cost preparation would substitute the grant's restated cost for the {3}; named limit: a single_use normal-cost grant is not consumed by a face-down cast through it.

GameAction regressions, both through GameRunner::cast with the printed {5} unaffordable and {3} floating: a_normal_cost_cast_grant_lets_disguise_cast_face_down (CardPlayMode::Cast shape) and a_normal_cost_play_grant_with_companion_lets_disguise_cast_face_down (Play shape, land/look companion present) — both must enter face down with exactly the {3} charged. Counter-probe (provenance exception removed) fails exactly those two while the Dauthi regression stays green. Full lib (19772) + integration (5517) suites and clippy green.

Request changes — the current static authority still lets an alternative-cost rider authorize face-down casting.

🔴 Blocker

[HIGH] FaceDown admits every PayNormalCost static permission without excluding the selected permission's CastCostMode::Alternative rider. Evidence: crates/engine/src/game/casting.rs:3223-3227 admits the static source by cost mode, while casting.rs:4679-4683 elects the ordinary first match; casting.rs:6613-6631 then honors an Alternative extra-cost rider by zeroing the mana cost. The Valgavoth configuration combines PayNormalCost with CastCostMode::Alternative in crates/engine/src/game/casting_tests.rs:46274-46290, and the parser stamps that rider in crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_static/restriction.rs:2742-2769. Why it matters: the selected source is an alternative-cost authority, so it cannot also authorize the face-down alternative; face-down casting must not use it merely because its base mode says PayNormalCost.

Suggested fix: make face-down authority selection exclude sources carrying an Alternative extra-cost rider, while continuing to accept Additional riders that preserve ordinary mana-cost payment.

Recommendation: request changes — add a discriminating GameAction Valgavoth/disguise regression that proves the alternative-rider source is rejected and the corresponding Additional-rider route remains legal.

@matthewevans matthewevans removed their assignment Aug 27, 2026
Round-4 blocker on phase-rs#7948: a `PayNormalCost` static carrying a
`CastCostMode::Alternative` extra-cost rider (Valgavoth, Terror Eater —
pay life equal to mana value RATHER than paying the mana cost) is an
alternative-cost authority; admitting it by base cost mode alone let it
authorize the face-down alternative (CR 118.9a).

`exile_cast_permission_source_matching` now hands its predicate the whole
source, and the face-down predicate requires `PayNormalCost` AND no
`Alternative` rider; an `Additional` rider (Dawnhand class) preserves
ordinary payment and stays legal.

GameAction regressions: `an_alternative_rider_static_cannot_authorize_
disguise` (admission denied; the cast still resolves through the static's
own route — face up, pool untouched, life 5 paid) and
`an_additional_rider_static_still_authorizes_disguise` (face down, {3}
charged). Counter-probe (rider exclusion removed) fails exactly the
Valgavoth test while the Additional test stays green.

Request changes — face-down admission and cost resolution still select different static authorities.

🔴 Blocker

[HIGH] has_exile_cast_permission correctly searches for a PayNormalCost static with no CastCostMode::Alternative rider at crates/engine/src/game/casting.rs:3223-3242, but that source is not preserved by CastingVariant::FaceDown (crates/engine/src/types/game_state.rs:15003-15021). Later cost reads call elected_exile_permission_source, whose no-source fallback is the ordinary first matching static scan at crates/engine/src/game/casting.rs:4687-4701. Consequently, when the eligible normal-cost source is later in order but an earlier Valgavoth-class static has an Alternative rider, casting.rs:6611-6645 can zero the face-down {3} cost and casting_costs.rs:6615-6641 can charge that unrelated alternative rider instead. The admission and the payment pipeline therefore disagree on the selected zone authority.

Suggested fix: carry the same eligible normal-cost static authority through the FaceDown cast, or reselect with the identical face-down predicate at every rider/cost read. Add a mixed-order GameAction regression with an earlier alternative-rider source and a later eligible normal-cost source; it must charge exactly {3} and never apply the earlier source's rider.

✅ Clean

The current FaceDown admission predicate itself correctly excludes an alternative-rider source and preserves an additional-rider source; the remaining defect is the later provenance loss.

Recommendation: request changes — make the selected permission authoritative across admission and cost resolution, then cover the mixed-source runtime path.

…and cost

Round-5 blocker on phase-rs#7948: admission searched for an eligible normal-cost
static, but the rider/cost reads fell back to the ordinary first-match
scan (`elected_exile_permission_source`), so an earlier Valgavoth-class
alternative-rider source could zero the face-down {3} and charge its
pay-life rider while a later eligible source had granted admission.

`static_source_eligible_for_face_down` is now THE shared predicate
(`PayNormalCost`, no `CastCostMode::Alternative` rider): the admission
uses it, and `elected_exile_permission_source` reselects with it for the
`FaceDown` variant — every rider/cost read flows through that one
function, so the admitted and the paying authority can never diverge.

The face-down cast is also a first-class exile CANDIDATE now (parity
gates with the hand branch): a payable exile-permission variant no longer
short-circuits the cast as the single candidate, so the legal face-down
election is surfaced beside it. The existing raise-pricing regression
moved to the new `CastingVariantChoice` surface, which shows the same
{3}+{2}={5} on its FaceDown option.

Mixed-order GameAction regression
`an_earlier_alternative_rider_source_never_pays_for_the_face_down_cast`:
Valgavoth source created first, eligible source after it — electing
FaceDown charges exactly the {3}, life untouched. Counter-probe (election
back to first-match) fails exactly that test.

Round-5 blocker fixed in c4200ad: static_source_eligible_for_face_down is now THE shared predicate (PayNormalCost, no CastCostMode::Alternative rider). The admission uses it, and elected_exile_permission_source reselects with it for the FaceDown variant — both rider/cost reads (casting.rs alt-cost override and both casting_costs.rs sites) flow through that one function, so the admitted and the paying authority can never diverge.

The face-down cast is also a first-class exile CANDIDATE now (same parity gates as the hand branch): previously a payable exile-permission variant short-circuited the cast as a single candidate and the legal face-down election was never surfaced. The existing raise-pricing regression moved to the resulting CastingVariantChoice surface, which shows the same {3}+{2}={5} on its FaceDown option.

Mixed-order GameAction regression an_earlier_alternative_rider_source_never_pays_for_the_face_down_cast: Valgavoth-class source created FIRST, eligible normal-cost source after it, disguiser linked to both — electing FaceDown enters face down, charges exactly the {3}, and the earlier source's pay-life rider is never applied (life asserted unchanged). Counter-probe (election reverted to first-match) fails exactly that test. Full lib (19775) + integration (5517) suites and clippy green.

Approved: current-head review is clean. Face-down admission and later cost/rider reads select the same eligible normal-cost static authority; the mixed-order runtime regression confirms the fixed three-mana payment without the earlier alternative rider. Required checks are green on c1d965f.

…ation fixture

The merge queue dequeued this PR on a semantic conflict, not a defect in either
branch: phase-rs#7948 (`d71c4461d`) landed immediately ahead of it in the queue and added
a `provenance` field to `CastingPermission::PlayFromExile`. This branch's
`play_from_exile_permission` duration fixture constructs that struct with a
literal initializer, so both branches compiled independently and the merged tree
did not:

    error[E0063]: missing field `provenance` in initializer of `CastingPermission`
      --> crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_ir/ast.rs:2360:9

All four Rust test shards plus clippy failed together, which is the compile-error
signature rather than a test-logic failure, and none of it surfaced on the PR's
own checks — the queue tests a temporary merge with main.

`Impulse` is named explicitly rather than taking `::default()`. They are the same
value today, but the fixture models a self-standing play permission with full
cast authority — deliberately NOT the `LandLookCompanion` half of an
alternative-cost grant, which phase-rs#7948 introduced and which is skipped by cast
elections. Naming it keeps the fixture's meaning stable if the default variant
ever changes.

`cargo check -p phase-engine --all-targets` confirms this was the only
construction site needing the field; the other `PlayFromExile` mentions in the
touched files are pattern matches with `..`, or main's own sites already updated
by the merge.

Verified against the MERGED tree (the tree that actually failed), not the
pre-merge branch: fmt --check PASS; clippy -D warnings exit 0; cargo test
-p phase-engine exit 0 (25,467 passed, 0 failed, doctests included — up from
25,250, main's new tests included); Gate G + Gate A PASS.
