Fix Pulse of the Forge

[keloide]

Summary

Fixes the dropped resolve-time condition on Pulse of the Forge. Its return now depends on the damaged player, or the damaged planeswalker's controller, having more life than the spell's controller.

Claimed parse impact

Scope Expansion

None.

Validation Failures

None.

CI Failures

Local Rust compilation was terminated externally: rustc exited by SIGTERM while compiling phase-engine, so the focused integration test and generated card-data/coverage audits could not complete locally. The committed parser and tests require CI verification.

Review limit reached

@matthewevans, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 3 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Pulse of the Forge now parses the controller-life condition for player and planeswalker targets. Resolution logic checks resolving stack entries, and integration tests cover parsing, damage, and conditional return-to-hand behavior.

Changes

Pulse of the Forge support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Controller life condition parser crates/engine/src/parser/oracle_nom/condition.rs	The parser handles the player or planeswalker controller referent and compares that controller’s life with the current controller’s life. Tests cover valid and malformed forms.
Resolving-stack casting lookup crates/engine/src/game/effects/bounce.rs	stack_spell_casting_variant checks resolving_stack_entry when the spell is no longer on the live stack.
Pulse of the Forge integration coverage crates/engine/tests/integration/pulse_of_the_forge.rs, crates/engine/tests/integration/main.rs, docs/parser-misparse-backlog.md	Integration tests cover parser warnings, damage, return-to-hand behavior, player targets, and planeswalker controllers. The card was removed from the misparse backlog.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to e1a4b

The PR changes how resolution continues after the spell leaves the stack, but its rules annotation omits the applicable CR 608.2m reference and could misstate that behavior for maintainers. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up correction to the annotation.

Maintainer hold — current head 54f2d4e6702fda2923ce9624d72874dc3e66fddc.

The required current-head parse-diff evidence (<!-- coverage-parse-diff -->) is absent. The required Rust test gate is currently failing (shards 1/4 and 4/4); its aggregate result is still settling. Approval and merge-queue enrollment will resume after CI supplies the parse-diff artifact and the Rust test gate settles green (or the failures are resolved).

No contributor action is requested solely for this hold.

[matthewevans]

Correction — current head 54f2d4e6702fda2923ce9624d72874dc3e66fddc. The parse-diff artifact is now verified and matches the expected single Pulse of the Forge conditional change: Bounce.conditional from empty to the parent target's controller having more life than you.

The sole remaining hold is the required Rust gate: test shards 1/4 and 4/4, and the aggregate Rust check, are failing. Approval and merge-queue enrollment will resume after those failures are resolved.

Maintainer hold — current head 3b16b523fe388f0f9d92176e500fbbb2fb041f79.

I corrected the resolution-carrier annotation to cite CR 608.2m (continued resolution after leaving the stack) and CR 608.2n (final spell placement). This new head is awaiting its CI run; the required current-head <!-- coverage-parse-diff --> evidence is not available yet.

Approval and merge-queue enrollment will resume after the current run supplies the head-bound parse-diff artifact and required Rust checks settle green. No contributor action is requested solely for this hold.

[matthewevans]

Current-head review is clean: Pulse's conditional bounce now resolves through the parent target controller scope, with discriminating player and controlled-planeswalker runtime coverage. The resolved CR annotation and current parse-diff/CI evidence are verified.
