Summary

Adds generic typed support for aggregate quantities over the immediately preceding milled/discarded card set, completing Palantír of Orthanc and Combustible Gearhulk without card-name dispatch. It also preserves the chosen opponent through optional-decline branches while keeping explicit each-player scopes intact.

Reviewed seams: contextual aggregate grammar, nearest typed chain producer, conservative blocker behavior, optional-decline player authority, explicit-All scope preservation, nom-only dispatch, draw-offset blast radius, and production runtime discrimination.

Claimed parse impact

  • Combustible Gearhulk
  • Palantír of Orthanc
  • Gravestorm
  • Rakdos, Patron of Chaos
  • Risk Factor

Parse projection: 5 cards / 6 signatures against 9c4871154a29a6f8aceefc18856225afb362dc4b.

Scope Expansion

None. The change stays within generic ChainSet aggregate parsing and typed scoped-recipient rewriting; it adds no card-name logic, protocol changes, or TriggeringBatch fallback.

Validation Failures

None.

CI Failures

None known. Fresh upstream CI will validate the exact pushed head.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The parser tracks compatible bare-card aggregate sources across effect chains and resolves “those cards” in downstream quantities. It also supports per-target cardinality, dependent targets, strict trailing-input validation, and heterogeneous exile choices. Parser and integration tests cover these behaviors.

Changes

Bare-card aggregate parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Contextual aggregate quantity contract
crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_ir/context.rs, crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_nom/quantity.rs
ParseContext stores a bare-card aggregate source. Quantity parsing recognizes boundary-checked “those cards” references and creates tracked set aggregates.
Publisher classification and context wiring
crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/mod.rs
Effect-chain scanning classifies compatible publishers, barriers, and unsupported publishers. The nearest compatible source is passed into ParseContext. Decline-body rebinding excludes explicit All scopes.
Context-aware effect parsing
crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/imperative.rs, crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/lower.rs
Context-aware parsing resolves bare-card aggregates in life and damage quantities. Draw, scry, surveil, mill, and counter paths receive parsing context. Mill and damage recipients support decline-body rebinding.
Parser and gameplay validation
crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/tests.rs, crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_trigger_tests.rs, crates/engine/tests/integration/*, crates/engine/tests/integration/main.rs
Tests cover chain aggregation, publisher shadowing, recipient scopes, optional branches, short and empty libraries, stale tracked sets, and event-context offsets.

Targeted choice and exile parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Choose target contracts and resolution
crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/imperative.rs
Two-target choose parsing stores optional multiplicity for each target, resolves dependent targets within the first target’s opponent scope, validates suffix input, and lowers both multiplicities.
Heterogeneous exile filters
crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/imperative.rs
Exile parsing accepts a card from a targeted opponent’s hand or a uniquely declared chosen permanent and produces a combined zone-aware filter.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 746dc

The PR adds typed support for chain-set card aggregates and scoped recipient handling, with targeted parser/runtime coverage and passing checks. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Maintainer hold — branch updated to 801f087c6e016f5dcea1aea82a4bf4957191f389.

origin/main added the overlapping Dauthi Voidwalker parser work after this PR's merge base (9c4871154a), so the BEHIND state was maintainer-caused. I merged current main into this branch and preserved the chain-set aggregate changes; no author rebase is needed.

The new head is awaiting fresh hosted evidence bound to 801f087c6e016f5dcea1aea82a4bf4957191f389: the Superagent Security Scan is in progress, CodeRabbit is pending, and the required parser coverage-diff receipt has not yet been published for this SHA. Once those settle, maintainer review will resume.

alongside the existing CR 109.5 and CR 115.10 annotation, matching the citation
used by TrackedSetAggregate.

to classify def.effect and combine it with the recursive sub-ability result
before comparing against alternate. Preserve a shared producer only when both
branches classify identically, return TerminalUnsupported for a producer on only
one branch or differing producers, and return None when both branches have no
producer; use an exhaustive match instead of a wildcard.

In `@crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_nom/quantity.rs`:
- Around line 1641-1655: The parse_contextual_bare_card_aggregate_ref function
currently requires the entire remaining input to be the aggregate reference, so
trailing clause text prevents valid typed aggregates from parsing. Isolate the
aggregate quantity at the current clause boundary and consume its delimiter
before continuing, preserving terminal parsing and enabling both
parse_life_equal_quantity and damage-to/equal-to paths; add tests for terminal
and continuation pipeline cases.

Request changes — the current head has two parser-correctness gaps that can misbind or reject valid those cards aggregate chains.

🔴 Blocker

  1. crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/mod.rs:27663 classifies only sub_ability for the conditional's if branch before comparing it with else_ability; it does not include def.effect. A branch whose own effect is Mill, Discard, or DiscardCard can therefore be compared as None against a chain-set-compatible else branch and become TerminalUnsupported. The reverse clause scan then prevents a prior legitimate card-set publisher from binding a later those cards aggregate. Fold the if branch's own publisher classification into the recursive sub-result before the branch comparison, preserve None when both branches have no publisher, and use an exhaustive match for the remaining cases. CodeRabbit's current-head finding identifies the same path.

  2. crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/lower.rs:7925 and crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_effect/imperative.rs:785 accept the contextual aggregate only when rest.trim().is_empty(). These consumers receive clause continuation text, so a valid aggregate followed by , then ... is rejected rather than returning its typed quantity and letting the chain parser continue. Bound the aggregate at the clause delimiter and add both terminal and continuation pipeline coverage for the life-equal and damage-equal paths. CodeRabbit's current-head finding identifies the same gap.

✅ Clean

The three Draw target-context changes were independently checked on this head and match their existing target-context plumbing; they are not part of this request.

Recommendation: fix both aggregate-chain paths and add discriminating terminal/continuation tests, then request re-review on the new head.

Maintainer hold — branch updated to 746dc6c7f396d7e9ca066c543ccb30c7a2e861fe.

origin/main advanced after the prior maintainer port with the merged #7939 and #7942 work. The only overlapping parser file (oracle_effect/imperative.rs) merged cleanly; the ChainSet aggregate implementation and contributor attribution are preserved. No author rebase is needed.

This new head is awaiting fresh hosted evidence bound to 746dc6c7f396d7e9ca066c543ccb30c7a2e861fe: CI, CodeRabbit's current-head pass, and the parser coverage-diff receipt. Maintainer review will resume only after those artifacts are published for this SHA.

Approved on current head 746dc6c7f396d7e9ca066c543ccb30c7a2e861fe: the typed ChainSet source is selected at effect-chain assembly, the prior conditional-publisher and continuation cases are covered, and the Palantír/Gearhulk scenario tests drive the decline path through resolution with exact aggregate totals.
