This contract has no numbers to set.

A rule is a check between the numbers. Validation reports a rule that fails.

This contract has no rules between its numbers.

Each list holds the rows this adoption supplies. A list can be empty.

Some tests need a scope or seeds from the adoption before they can run.

This adoption supplies no test inputs. Every test uses its default inputs.

The contract comes with 85 tests. A test that runs once per row is counted once for each row. Tests that do not apply to these answers are still listed, with the reason.

Answers you try on this page do not change this file. To change an adoption, open it in the authoring tool.

  "summary": "This contract covers which state is kept after the end of a run or session, a quit, a crash, death, the deletion of saved data, and a move to another device. It also covers local saves, manual slots, cloud copies, server profiles, backups, conflicts, and version changes. This contract does not cover time that passes while the game is closed, replay guarantees, file formats, or the shape of saved numbers. The Suspension and catch-up contract covers time while the game is closed. The Replay scope contract covers replay guarantees.",

    "This text decides the order of the steps for state-family identity, scope starts and endings, commits, loads, damage, build mismatch, copy conflicts, deletion, and device change. The questions and rows supply choices and cited game rules. They do not change the order.",
    "A **run** begins at the player-observable attempt start named by `scope-starts-in` and ends at the result or exit named by `scope-ends-in`. Victory, death, and abandonment are common endings, but only the cited game rules decide. A save or load does not start or end a run. A **session** begins when play enters the world, match, lobby, or profile context named by `scope-starts-in` and ends at the exit, switch, or reset named by `scope-ends-in`. It continues through a pause, background interval, closure, or relaunch that returns to that same context; a missing commit may still prevent its earlier value from returning.",
    "A **save kind** is one row of `copy-kinds`. A **commit** is one coherent accepted write of a save kind. A **copy** is a load candidate with its save-kind id, copy identity, any slot identity, build identity, commit identity, and complete state-family set. A **conflict** exists when the cited rule finds two accepted shared copies in one declared conflict scope that disagree and neither has already replaced the other. An **earlier copy** is a retained older commit named by a backup row.",
    "### Change and commit",
    "1. When state changes, keep each `state-families` row as one family under its cited game rule. The row's lifetime is the longest time for which a value of the family is kept. An `until-event` value ends at its cited game event. A boundary result may clear a value before its lifetime ends only when the row says so.",
    "2. Evaluate run and session starts and endings from their separate cited player-observable events. A save action, automatic write, timer tick, process launch, process close, or load does not create a new run or session by itself.",
    "3. Start a commit of a save kind only at its selected write trigger. A player save follows the cited save action. A checkpoint follows its named game event. Continuous writing follows each accepted change named by its rule. A timer follows the cited interval. A service-owned copy follows its authority's cited acceptance event.",
    "4. A commit becomes loadable only when `write-rule-declared-in` reports success for the complete `contains-declared-in` set. A failed or partial write never replaces the last successful commit. Earlier copies are retained and ordered only by their backup and storage rules.",
    "### Quit, crash, and return",
    "5. On a normal quit, perform a final commit only when the cited write rule of the save kind requires one. For each state row, `returns-last-commit` restores its latest successful commit on return; `does-not-return` starts from the cited post-quit value. Uncommitted changes do not return. A copy removed at normal quit is no longer a later load choice.",
    "6. On a crash, no unfinished commit succeeds. For each state row, `returns-last-commit` restores the last commit that succeeded before the crash; `does-not-return` starts from the cited post-crash value. With a timer or a checkpoint, a crash can therefore lose the changes made since the last successful commit. These changes are the possible loss window, and the cited write rule states it. A copy removed at crash is no longer a later load choice.",
    "7. Select the requested slot or profile before activating state. A `one-current` save kind selects its current copy. `manual-slots` selects the player's named slot. A retained earlier copy is not another layout; the damage response and matching backup rule may select it later, and a backup row's cited restore route is also available to the player directly, independent of any damage response.",
    "8. A local-device copy is available only on that device unless another cited transfer exists outside this adoption. A cloud-synced save kind obtains every accepted device and cloud candidate before conflict handling. A server-authoritative save kind obtains the service's accepted copy and does not treat an unaccepted local cache as equal authority. Read each candidate's save-kind, slot, build, and commit identity now. A candidate whose identity cannot be read is not a conflict candidate. If no candidate remains, run the damage response of the requested save kind immediately, without conflict or build comparison. A readable header with an unreadable gameplay body remains a candidate for steps 9 and 10, then reaches the damage response in step 11.",
    "### Conflict, compatibility, and damage",
    "9. If readable shared candidates conflict, apply the matching row's response before reading their gameplay state. A one-kind row settles only that save kind; a whole-set row settles every synced save kind together. `select-by-rule` chooses one complete copy. `player-chooses-copy` waits for one complete-copy choice. `refuse-until-resolved` activates neither. No response merges fields.",
    "10. Compare the selected copy's writing build with the running build. Apply the save-kind override when present; otherwise apply the matching default answer for an older or a newer build. Refusal activates no state. Conversion produces one current-build copy before activation. A warning precedes the attempt and does not promise that it succeeds. If conversion fails, refuse the load and leave the source copy unchanged unless its cited rule says otherwise.",
    "11. Read the selected copy as one coherent unit. If it is unreadable, apply the save-kind override or `unreadable-copy-default`. Refusal activates nothing. `start-fresh` activates the cited starting state without silently deleting the unreadable copy. Earlier-copy recovery follows the matching backup row, selects the newest usable earlier copy, and reports the lost interval. Repair activates one coherent repaired result and resets every unreadable part under the cited rule; failure to produce a coherent result refuses the load. Warning waits for the player's choice before any attempted activation.",
    "12. Activate all state families in the accepted copy together. State families saved in another save kind keep the already active value from that kind; a state family without `saved-in` is never restored by this load.",
    "13. If the accepted copy has an `earlier-point-returns` row, return continuous play to its cited earlier point. If that point is inside a run, continue the same run identity. Apply `after-load` only after successful activation: keeping the resume leaves it available, using it once makes it unavailable, and a player-mode answer follows the mode that was set before the load.",
    "### Death, deletion, and another device",
    "14. On death, apply every state's `after-death` result. `clears-value` removes the earlier value before later play. `keeps-value` retains it. If death is also the cited run end, every run-lifetime value clears even if no save action occurs. If it is the cited event for an `until-event` value, that value clears as well. Longer-lived unlocks, settings, and profile state follow their own rows. A copy with `removed-at: death` disappears from the load choices after these state results are settled.",
    "15. On slot deletion, clear each `clears-value` row tied to that slot and keep each `keeps-value` row. `no-slot` records that the state has no related player-selected slot. Deleting a local profile applies `after-local-profile-delete` the same way and includes any slots whose cited rule makes them children of that profile. Device-data deletion ends device-lifetime state under its cited rule. Account deletion or reset ends account-lifetime state through `scope-ends-in`. At each event, remove every copy whose `removed-at` value names it.",
    "16. On another eligible device, `returns` obtains the family from its cloud-synced or server-authoritative copy before activation and still runs conflict handling. `does-not-return` starts from the cited new-device value. A device change does not by itself delete the source device's copy.",
    "17. After every event, no earlier value affects later play once its lifetime has ended or its selected boundary result cleared it. A later game rule may derive a new value, but that is new state rather than restoration of the cleared value. A mode-gated copy or earlier return point exists only while the cited player mode permits it.",
    "Every settlement report identifies the state-family id, save-kind id or its absence, event, scope before and after, last successful commit when read, selected copy and build when loaded, override or default answer used, state result, and any lost interval. Conflict reports also identify both candidate commits and the selected response. Damage reports identify refusal, starting state, earlier-copy recovery, repaired parts, or warning choice without claiming an unattempted load succeeded."
