Pass 1 — canonical runnable AHBG
- ahbg/runtime production loop: UCNS plane -> observe -> plan ->
  simultaneous resolution -> effects -> persist -> next turn.
- Capability-bounded observe/plan/act harness interface (protocol.py,
  harness.py). A0 uses exactly this interface; no privileged path.
- SubprocessHarness connects any external conforming harness over JSON lines
  without modifying AHBG.

Pass 2 — Android surface
- Thinnest Android-first shell (WebView + JS bridge + JSON transport) around
  the canonical runtime; no second engine or geometry authority.
- Presentation assets pinned from ahbg/presentation with SHA receipts.

Pass 3 — RevenueCat
- One clean entitlement: benchmark_lab (advanced scenarios, saved/replayed
  run comparison, adversarial packs). Basic play and harness connectivity
  stay free. Runtime checks claims; Android verifies with the SDK and
  degrades to the free tier when no key is provisioned.

Pass 4 — submission path
- HTTP bridge (ahbg/runtime/server.py) with /session, /plan, /state,
  /entitlements plus UCNS-projected presentation snapshots.
- Presentation board: onboarding -> start plane -> select agent -> play turn
  -> visible consequence -> persist/reload -> premium surface.

Gates local: runtime 9 OK, grok 6 OK, presentation 11 OK, node --check OK,
compileall OK, CLI smoke OK.

+# AHBG Android surface
+
+Thinnest Android-first application around the canonical runtime. The mobile
+layer presents and controls AHBG; it is **not** a second game engine and not a
+geometry authority.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```text
+Android app (WebView + JS bridge + JSON transport)
+        │  observe/plan/act JSON over HTTP
+        ▼
+ahbg.runtime.server  (ahbg/runtime/server.py)
+        │
+        ▼
+canonical runtime (ahbg/runtime + frozen Grok engine + UCNS geometry)
+```
+
+- `MainActivity` hosts the canonical presentation board (`ahbg/presentation`)
+  in a WebView and exposes `window.ahbg` to the board.
+- `HarnessClient` transports JSON to the runtime bridge; it owns no game state.
+- `Entitlements.kt` wraps one RevenueCat entitlement, `benchmark_lab`.
+- Bundled board assets are a pinned copy of `ahbg/presentation` (see
+  `sync_presentation.sh` and `PRESENTATION.sha256`).
+
+## Build
+
+```bash
+cd ahbg/android
+gradle assembleDebug -PruntimeUrl=http://10.0.2.2:8765 -PrevenueCatApiKey=rc_public_key
+```
+
+- `runtimeUrl` defaults to `http://10.0.2.2:8765` (host machine from emulator).
+- `revenueCatApiKey` is a RevenueCat **public** API key provisioned at build
+  time and never committed. Without a key the app builds and runs on the free
+  tier (`NoopPremiumStore`).
+
+## Entitlement
+
+One clean entitlement: `benchmark_lab` — advanced scenarios, saved/replayed
+run comparison, and adversarial benchmark packs. Basic gameplay and external
+harness connectivity remain free. The runtime side only checks claims; the
+Android side verifies with the RevenueCat SDK.
+
+## hmmm
+
+- Store publication needs signing, versioning policy, and submission assets —
+  outside this pass.
+- Local emulator uses cleartext HTTP; a release build must switch the runtime
+  URL to HTTPS and disable `usesCleartextTraffic`.

+# AHBG production runtime
+
+Canonical runnable AHBG: one production implementation that repeatedly
+completes the minimum loop.
+
+```text
+UCNS plane -> observe -> plan -> simultaneous resolution
+-> move/collision effects -> persist -> next turn
+```
+
+## Modules
+
+- `protocol.py` — observe/plan/act schemas and the capability vocabulary.
+- `harness.py` — `AgentHarness` contract; `A0Harness` (reference agent via the
+  canonical `a0` package) and `SubprocessHarness` (external JSON-lines client).
+- `runtime.py` — `run_plane()` production loop using the frozen Grok engine
+  (`Field`, `Cycle`, war_v3, `Chain` persistence).
+- `server.py` — thin HTTP bridge serving the presentation board and the same
+  observe/plan/act contract for mobile/embedded clients.
+- `entitlements.py` — one entitlement, `benchmark_lab`; basic play and harness
+  connectivity are free.
+- `engine.py` — binds the frozen engine modules by file path so
+  `ahbg.runtime` and `ahbg.grok` never fight over the `ahbg` package name.
+
+## Capability bound
+
+Advertised capabilities: `observe`, `plan`, `relocate`. `construct`/build is
+regulatory in the frozen engine — recorded as deferred, never emitted as an
+executable intent. The runtime rejects any intent outside an agent's advertised
+capabilities. A0 uses exactly this interface; there is no privileged A0 path.
+
+## Usage guidance
+
+```bash
+# play with A0 through the standard harness interface
+PYTHONPATH=.:libs/ucns/src python -m ahbg.runtime play --agent a0 --turns 8 --out /tmp/ahbg-run
+
+# drive the loop from an external conforming harness subprocess
+PYTHONPATH=.:libs/ucns/src python -m ahbg.runtime play \
+    --agent-subprocess "python3,my_harness.py" --turns 5 --out /tmp/ahbg-run
+
+# HTTP bridge for the Android surface / any JSON client
+PYTHONPATH=.:libs/ucns/src python -m ahbg.runtime.server --port 8765
+
+# tests
+python -m unittest discover -s ahbg/runtime/tests -q
+```
+
+## Subprocess harness protocol
+
+One JSON line per turn in; one JSON line out.
+
+```text
+{"type":"observe","observation":{...}}
+{"type":"plan","plan":{"session_id":"...","turn":0,"intents":[...]}}
+```
+
+## Entitlement boundary
+
+`benchmark_lab` gates advanced scenarios, saved/replayed run comparison, and
+adversarial benchmark packs. The runtime checks claims only; RevenueCat
+verification happens on the Android client. Unverified claims are treated as
+absent.
+
+## hmmm
+
+- UCNS construction authority: `construct` remains regulatory until UCNS
+  defines construction state; the loop records defer effects and never builds.
+- Store publication signing, submission assets, and a release HTTPS runtime
+  URL remain outside this pass.

+"""AHBG runtime harness protocol schemas.
+
+The harness protocol is the single observe/plan/act surface between the
+canonical AHBG runtime and any conforming agent harness. It is deliberately
+small and capability-bounded: the runtime advertises what an agent may do and
+validates every returned intent against that advertised set.
+
+Two transports share these schemas:
+
+* in-process: ``AgentHarness.plan(observation) -> plan``;
+* subprocess: JSON lines ``{"type":"observe", ...}`` /
+  ``{"type":"plan", ...}`` on stdin/stdout.
+
+Capability vocabulary (frozen with the canonical engine):
+
+* ``observe``  — receive field snapshots and resolved-effect feed;
+* ``plan``     — submit a plan payload;
+* ``relocate`` — emit move intents between adjacent tiles.
+
+``construct``/build remains regulatory in the frozen engine: it is recorded as
+a deferred effect, never emitted as an executable intent, and therefore is not
+an advertised capability. UCNS construction authority stays ``hmmm``.

+"""Thin HTTP bridge between the canonical runtime and mobile/embedded clients.
+
+This is a transport only. It serves the canonical presentation board (static
+files from ``ahbg/presentation``) and exposes the same observe/plan/act
+contract as the in-process harness:
+
+* ``POST /session``            — start a plane; returns session_id + first observation;
+* ``POST /session/<id>/plan``  — submit one plan; returns effect + next observation;
+* ``GET  /session/<id>/state`` — persisted field/result;
+* ``GET  /session/<id>/entitlements`` — entitlement gate status.
+
+Basic play and harness connectivity never require an entitlement. Benchmark
+Lab features are gated by ``ahbg.runtime.entitlements``.
