Summary

Fixes the Awe Strike-class misparse (backlog root-cause 11: replacement/prevention mis-modeled). "The next time target creature would deal damage this turn, prevent that damage. You gain life equal to the damage prevented this way." previously parsed to PreventDamage { All, Any, AllDamage } — the chosen target creature was dropped from the shield (no source restriction) and the shield never consumed, preventing every damage event instead of the next one.

Now parses to PreventDamage { All, Any, AllDamage, damage_source_filter: Some(And{[ParentTargetSlot{0}, Typed(Creature)]}), prevention_duration: UntilEndOfTurn } with the gain-life rider as a ContinuationStep. The shield is source-scoped to the chosen creature (CR 609.7a capture + CR 609.7b recheck), consumed on first prevention (CR 615.3), and the rider fires exactly once per prevented event (including combat batches).

Round 1 findings (6) all addressed:

  • MED: commit message overclaim → corrected to Awe Strike, Dazzling Reflection only
  • MED: resolver one-shot discriminator too loose → shared is_oneshot_target_source_prevent_shape predicate (exact two-leg shape, single authority with the assembly gate)
  • LOW: stale in_trigger annotation → updated with real consumer
  • LOW: Dromoka test single-sided → positive paired assertions added + positioning comment
  • NIT: fragile hand-mirrored field copies → deleted post_replacement_rider template mechanism entirely; rider reinstalled via existing runtime_execute slot
  • NIT: "that creature" leaf type → documented rationale (parse_target would resolve the demonstrative to ParentTarget and break the exact-shape contract); both subjects emit identical And shape

Claimed parse impact

Awe Strike, Dazzling Reflection (both flipped from target: Any + no source filter to the source-scoped one-shot shape). Ria Ivor / Impulsive Maneuvers / Reverse Damage / CoP:Red / Desperate Gambit / Charm Peddler / Kithkin Armor unchanged.

Scope Expansion

None.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added one-shot, source-specific damage prevention for effects such as Awe Strike.
    • Prevention applies only to the next matching nonzero damage event, then is consumed.
    • Added support for associated prevented-damage triggers, including life-gain effects.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling during simultaneous combat damage.
    • Zero-damage events no longer consume one-shot prevention.
    • Preserved continuous behavior for other prevention effects.
    • Expanded support for player and creature damage recipients.

…e' prevention (Awe Strike class)

The next-time prevention family dropped the chosen target creature from the
shield (damage_source_filter: None, target: Any) and never consumed the
shield, preventing every damage event instead of the next one.

- parser: parse_oneshot_target_source_prevent recognizes 'the next time
  [target creature|that creature] would deal [combat] damage [this turn|this
  combat], prevent that damage' and emits Effect::PreventDamage with an
  And{[ParentTargetSlot{0}, Typed(creature)]} source filter (Dromoka's
  Command-shaped); rejected in trigger bodies (Ria Ivor / Impulsive
  Maneuvers stay as-is); 'that creature' and declared-target subjects both
  resolve through parse_target
- types: ShieldKind::PreventionOneShot (CR 614.1a + CR 615.1a + CR 615.3 +
  CR 514.2); shared is_oneshot_target_source_prevent_shape predicate (single
  authority for parser gate + resolver discriminator, exact two-leg shape)
- resolver: one-shot shape sets consume_on_apply (consumed on first
  prevention, CR 615.3) and installs the 'prevented this way' rider via the
  existing runtime_execute slot (single fire; no double-fire in combat
  batches)
- assembly: bare 'prevented this way' folds to ContinuationStep only when
  the chain root is a target-source prevent (Awe Strike); Reverse Damage's
  chosen-source form stays SequentialSibling
- fixes: Awe Strike, Dazzling Reflection

Changes requested — reviewed at current head 5dbfa059426de46ae335d5663a1b6ef4ffd2fbf2.

🔴 Blockers

  1. crates/engine/src/game/replacement.rs:2421 applies PreventionOneShot to a Damage event whose amount is zero, emits DamagePrevented, and returns Prevented; the common applier consequently consumes the shield at :8631. This is rules-incorrect: CR 120.8 says that zero damage is not dealt, and CR 609.7b says a source-qualified shield that prevents no damage is not used up. Fall through for zero amount, and add a runtime replacement-chain test proving the shield and its rider survive before a subsequent nonzero matching event.

  2. crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_replacement.rs:6542 accepts a duration by phrase scan, but :6610 permits parse_duration to fail and still emits prevention_duration: None. The resolver then gives the shield no EndOfCombat expiry (prevent_damage.rs:379), widening a printed “this combat” window through end of turn. CR 511.2 requires the effect to expire at end of combat. Make the duration lowering required for this branch (otherwise fall through), with a regression assertion for the fail-closed contract.

  3. crates/engine/src/parser/swallow_check.rs:5256 weakens the existing Bronze Horse regression assertion from its continuous ShieldKind::Prevention shape to accept PreventionOneShot. Bronze Horse’s “as long as” prevention must remain continuous, so an incorrect one-shot classification now passes the test. Restore the exact continuous assertion; keep a separate positive assertion for the target-source one-shot shape.

The engine/parser diff also lacks the required current-head <!-- coverage-parse-diff --> artifact, so the claimed two-card parse impact cannot yet be verified.

Please address all three blockers, add the discriminating runtime/parser regressions, and allow CI to publish a parse-diff artifact bound to the new head.

…nd 2)

1. zero-damage no longer consumes the one-shot shield or fires the rider —
   CR 120.8 (zero damage is not dealt) + CR 609.7b (shield not used up when
   it prevents nothing); applier 0-guard falls through to the unchanged
   pass-through, dispatcher consume-guard (scoped to PreventionOneShot)
   suppresses consumption for the unchanged event
2. duration lowering is now mandatory in parse_oneshot_target_source_prevent
   — an unparsable window falls through instead of emitting a
   prevention_duration: None shield (CR 511.2 end-of-combat expiry preserved)
3. Bronze Horse regression restored to exact ShieldKind::Prevention —
   the continuous 'as long as' shield must never classify as one-shot;
   separate positive asserts the target-source one-shot shape via the
   shared is_oneshot_target_source_prevent_shape predicate

New discriminating tests: awe_strike_zero_damage_event_does_not_consume_
shield_or_fire_rider (real pipeline, shield survives to a later nonzero
event), parser duration fail-closed contract, Bronze Horse exact-kind
assertion.

All three blockers addressed at head 492a22e0e9f16a63564d8bb81a33ae22572b8a13. CI is re-running and will publish a fresh coverage-parse-diff bound to this head.

1. Zero-damage consumption (replacement.rs)

Fixed per CR 120.8 + CR 609.7b: the PreventionOneShot applier arm now falls through to the unchanged pass-through when the event amount is zero (no DamagePrevented, no last_effect_count stamp, no Prevented). A second guard was needed at the dispatcher (apply_single_replacement): the applier's unchanged-Modified path would otherwise still consume via consume_on_apply. The dispatcher guard is scoped to exactly consume_on_apply && shield_kind == PreventionOneShot — every other consume-on-apply replacement (draw modifiers, full-substitution draws) consumes exactly as before (4 existing tests guard that).

Discriminating test: awe_strike_zero_damage_event_does_not_consume_shield_or_fire_rider — real Awe Strike cast, a 0-damage ProposedEvent::Damage through the real replace_event seam (production deal_damage gates 0-amount upstream per CR 120.8, so the pipeline seam is driven directly), then a subsequent 3-damage event proving the shield survives and the rider fires exactly once.

2. Mandatory duration lowering (oracle_replacement.rs)

parse_oneshot_target_source_prevent now fails closed: an unparsable window returns None (falls through to the generic branch) instead of emitting prevention_duration: None, which would widen a printed "this combat" window through end of turn (CR 511.2). Regression tests pin the contract: all three canonical forms ("this turn", "this combat", "that creature") always carry Some(duration); the no-phrase negative returns None. Note: the fail-closed ? arm is defensively unreachable today (the branch gate and parse_current_phase_duration recognize the same phrases) — it is the tripwire for future parse_duration drift.

3. Bronze Horse exact-kind assertion (swallow_check.rs)

Restored to exact ShieldKind::Prevention { .. } — the continuous "as long as" shield must never classify as one-shot. Added a separate positive asserting the target-source one-shot shape via the shared is_oneshot_target_source_prevent_shape predicate (the single authority the resolver uses to classify PreventionOneShot at resolution).

Maintainer ported this branch across current main at 420aae82071b09f9bae7e4954089e49195788315. The original conflict was maintainer-side replacement/parser churn; I also updated mainline parser tests for the new ParseContext parameter. No contributor rebase is needed.

The current-head CI run and <!-- coverage-parse-diff --> artifact are pending. I will complete the current-head implementation review after those publish; the existing requested-changes review is deliberately not yet cleared.

Approved at current head 420aae82071b09f9bae7e4954089e49195788315.

The ported branch clears the prior three blockers: zero-damage events leave the one-shot shield intact, duration lowering fails closed, and continuous prevention remains separately asserted. Current required CI is green; the SHA-bound parse-diff reports only Awe Strike and Dazzling Reflection; and the current CodeRabbit review reports no actionable findings.
