fix(engine): route the debug face-state write through the face authorities (#7539) - #7540
Conversation
…ities (phase-rs#7539) `DebugAction::SetFaceState`'s `face_down` arm wrote the flag and nothing else. Everything that makes a permanent face down or face up lives elsewhere: the real characteristics are stashed in `back_face`, and the CR 708.2a 2/2 is installed in their place. So the sandbox's "Turn Face Up" left the vanilla 2/2 in place — no name, no abilities, no printed P/T. It looked like nothing happened, because nothing did. No CR 613.7f timestamp was drawn, the "as ~ is turned face up" replacement never applied, and no `TurnedFaceUp` event reached the triggers. "Turn Face Down" had the mirror defect: the permanent kept its name and printed P/T while claiming to be face down, and `back_face` stayed empty, so it could never be turned back up. This is the same class as the `transformed` arm two branches below, which phase-rs#3684 routed through `transform::transform_permanent` for phase-rs#3284/phase-rs#3290. The `face_down` write in the same match arm was never carried over. Both directions now go through the authority that already owns them: * face up -> `morph::turn_face_up`, shared with the paid `GameAction::TurnFaceUp` special action and the free effect callers. It also owns the CR 701.40b legality question (a manifested card is turned up only if it is a creature card with a mana cost) and reports it as an error rather than silently doing nothing. * face down -> `zone_pipeline::apply_face_down_entry_profile`, the helper the manifest, cloak and face-down-cast paths all run through, stamped `FaceDownCause::TurnedFaceDown`. CR 708.2b — an already-face-down permanent can't be turned face down — falls out of the match arms rather than being re-asserted. Everything with nothing to move (not on the battlefield, already in the requested state, face down with no stored face) keeps the plain flag write, so the tool still reaches states the rules cannot. Counter-probe: with the face-up arm disabled, `the_sandbox_turn_face_up_restores_the_stored_face` fails on `left: "" right: "Hidden Bear"`; with the face-down arm disabled, the round-trip row fails on `left: "Open Bear" right: ""`. Also corrected the CR citation on `morph::turn_face_up` itself: CR 702.37c is the CASTING half (it is what turns the card face down); the rule that says the morph effect ends and the permanent "regains its normal characteristics" is CR 702.37e. Not covered: the engine still never OFFERS `GameAction::TurnFaceUp` in normal play, so a morph permanent remains unturnable outside the sandbox. That is the still-open half of phase-rs#6732 / phase-rs#4381 and a separate change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Magic Comprehensive Rules 2026 CR 613.7f permanent turns face up or face down timestamp CR 712.16
💡 Result:
In the Magic: The Gathering Comprehensive Rules (as of August 2026), these rules govern the timestamping of permanents and restrictions on turning double-faced permanents face down: 613.7f states that a permanent receives a new timestamp each time it turns face up or face down [1][2][3]. This ensures that the game can correctly determine the order of continuous effects acting on that permanent, as effects with later timestamps are generally applied after those with earlier ones [2]. 712.16 addresses double-faced permanents. It specifies that melded permanents and other double-faced permanents cannot be turned face down [4][5][6]. If a spell or ability attempts to turn a double-faced permanent face down, nothing happens [4][5][6]. Recent updates (as of June 2026) clarified that this restriction also applies to permanents with a double-faced component that are merged (such as through the mutate mechanic), ensuring that these permanents do not interact in ways that would create unintended results within the layer system [4].

Route battlefield turn-face-down through an in-place authority.
apply_face_down_entry_profile is an entry-time helper. It does not allocate a timestamp or reject double-faced permanents. This branch can leave the timestamp unchanged and turn a battlefield Transform, Modal, or Meld permanent face down, contrary to CR 613.7f and CR 712.16. Reuse the resolver’s guards and base-face snapshot logic, then apply the profile and allocate the timestamp only after validation. Add regression tests for both cases.

Approved: current SHA restores the stored face through the shared turn-face-up authority; the registered runtime regression reaches the DebugAction pipeline and distinguishes a flag-only write. Current CI, SHA-bound no-change parse artifact, and current CodeRabbit feedback are clean.
…rs#7541) (phase-rs#7544) * fix(engine): snapshot the real face on a debug turn-face-down (phase-rs#7541) The face-down half of the arm phase-rs#7540 repaired. `face_down: Some(true)` set the flag and nothing else, so the permanent kept its name, printed P/T and abilities while claiming to be face down — and `back_face` stayed empty, which meant the repaired face-up path could never bring it back. CR 708.2a: a permanent turned face down "becomes a 2/2 face-down creature with no text, no name, no subtypes, and no mana cost". Those are characteristics to install over a snapshot, not a flag to raise. Routes through `zone_pipeline::apply_face_down_entry_profile`, the authority the manifest, cloak and face-down-cast paths all run through, stamped `FaceDownCause::TurnedFaceDown` so the marker art added by phase-rs#7535 names the right keyword action. CR 708.2b — "A face-down permanent can't be turned face down … nothing happens and that effect doesn't change any of its characteristics" — falls out of the `was_face_down` guard rather than being re-asserted. A row pins it; that row is a pin, not a discriminator, and says so. Counter-probe: with the arm disabled, the round-trip row fails on `left: "Open Bear" right: ""`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(PR-7544): route the debug turn-face-down through the direct-turn authority The sandbox arm ran `zone_pipeline::apply_face_down_entry_profile`, which serves battlefield ENTRY: it snapshots the live face, so a permanent carrying continuous modifications came back from the round trip with them baked into its base (and then re-applied on top); it overwrote a flipped permanent's stashed normal half; and it accepted double-faced and melded permanents. The eligible authority already existed in the Ixidron / Cyber Conversion resolver. Its per-object body is now extracted as `effects::turn_face_down::turn_permanent_face_down` — base-face snapshot, flip-stash preservation, CR 712.16 / CR 730.2j refusal, cause stamping, `TurnedFaceDown` event, layer re-derive — shared by the resolver loop and the sandbox arm, which converts a refusal into an error (mirroring the face-up arm) instead of staying silent. Three discriminating rows: a +1/+1-countered 4/4 round-trips to base 4/4 with the counter applying exactly once; a flipped permanent's stashed normal half survives; a melded permanent is refused unchanged. All three fail on the pre-fix entry-profile path; the four existing rows and the resolver's seven unit rows stay green either way.
