+# PR_26174_ALFA_017-game-hub-guest-save-and-crew-cleanup
+
+## Summary
+
+Updated Game Hub parent table and save behavior for the ALFA_017 stack item.
+
+## Implementation
+
+- Guest Add/Edit rows remain reachable for browsing, but Add and Edit Save buttons redirect to `account/sign-in.html`.
+- Renamed the current role side control area to a `Game Crew` accordion.
+- Removed Owner from displayed parent table headers, parent rows, add rows, edit rows, and expanded row colspan.
+- Kept parent game rows with Source Idea and Readiness Output child rows/tables.
+- Removed the instructional copy from the center panel.
+- Matched parent table action buttons to compact game button sizing.
+
+## Scope Control
+
+- Preserved existing API/service contract.
+- Did not add browser-owned product data.
+- Did not add readiness math.
+- Did not modify table-first governance content.
+
+## ZIP

+Manual validation notes: PASS
+
+- Reviewed `docs_build/dev/ProjectInstructions/addendums/table_first_ui.md` and applied the game-row parent table pattern.
+- Confirmed the Game Hub center panel no longer includes the removed instructional copy.
+- Confirmed parent table headers display only Game, Purpose, Status, and Actions.
+- Confirmed parent rows no longer display Owner while keeping owner fields available to existing repository data.
+- Confirmed Source Idea and Readiness Output remain expanded child rows/tables under each game parent row.
+- Confirmed guest Add/Edit Save controls redirect to `account/sign-in.html`.
+- Confirmed Add, Edit, Save, and Cancel actions use compact button sizing consistent with game buttons.

+- A broader unscoped run of `npx playwright test tests/playwright/tools/GameHubMockRepository.spec.mjs` was attempted before the final targeted lane. It reported 12 passed and 2 failed. One failure was the ALFA_017 guest redirect assertion and was fixed. The remaining failure was outside this PR's surface: `Toolbox member-role filters focus tools without exposing admin-only controls` received existing `500 /api/game-journey/completion-metrics` responses.
