+# PR_26175_OWNER_053 - Alfa Stack Resolution Plan
+
+Date: 2026-06-24
+Branch: PR_26175_OWNER_053-alfa-stack-resolution-plan
+Scope: Report-only Alfa PR stack resolution plan
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+GitHub is authoritative for this review. PRs #96 through #118 are open draft Alfa PRs. GitHub reports each as `CLEAN` / `MERGEABLE` against its current base branch, but the PRs are stacked on non-main bases. None of #96 through #118 should be treated as independently merge-safe to `main` in its current PR configuration.
+
+The stack should be resolved as ordered batches. PR #95, the ALFA_001 base, is already merged. PR #96 can become the first mainline merge candidate only after retargeting or rebasing onto current `main`, followed by validation. PRs #97 through #116 should then be processed in strict chain order, with validation checkpoints at batch boundaries.
+
+PR #118 does not supersede the runtime portions of the stack. It is final closeout evidence. It can supersede portions of the closeout reporting from #117, but it does not replace Game Hub, Game Journey, Idea Board, tests, CSS, or metadata changes from #96 through #116.
+
+PR #117 should remain archive-only and should not be merged as runtime work. It can be closed as superseded by #118 after OWNER accepts #118 as the final closeout evidence.
+
+No PRs were merged. No PRs were closed. No branches were deleted. No runtime code was modified.

+
+## Merge Candidates
+
+No PR in #96 through #118 is merge-safe independently in its current GitHub configuration because every PR targets a non-main base branch.
+
+Conditional merge candidates after dependency handling:
+- #96 through #102: foundation and first validation batch. #96 can start after retargeting/rebasing onto current `main` because #95 is already merged.
+- #103 through #106: Game Hub parent/child table batch.
+- #107 through #114: Game Hub child-row, table layout, actions, selected state, crew label, Idea Board cleanup, and metadata batch.
+- #115 through #116: Idea Board status filter/dropdown batch.
+
+Each batch should preserve internal PR order. Within a batch, merge sequentially and run a validation checkpoint after the batch lands on `main`.
+
+## Superseded Candidates
+
+#117 is the superseded candidate.
+
+Reason:
+- #117 is report-only EOD workstream closeout evidence.
+- #118 is the later final closeout evidence.
+- #118 can supersede the reporting purpose of #117, but it does not supersede runtime or test changes from #96 through #116.
+
+Recommendation:
+- Keep #117 as archive-only evidence in GitHub history.
+- Close #117 as superseded after OWNER confirms #118 is the accepted final closeout record.
+
+## Hold Candidates
+
+#118 should be held.
+
+Reason:
+- #118 is final closeout evidence, not runtime implementation.
+- It depends on #117, which should remain archive-only and is not recommended for merge.
+- #118 is useful for owner review and audit context, but should not be merged before the runtime stack decision is complete.
+
+Recommendation:
+- Hold #118 until #96 through #116 have been resolved.
+- After runtime stack resolution, either recreate final closeout evidence from current `main` or close #118 as historical closeout evidence.
+
+## Final Recommended Merge Order
+
+1. Confirm #95 remains merged to `main`.
+2. Retarget or rebase #96 onto current `main`; validate; merge #96 if clean.
+3. Process Batch 1 in order: #97, #98, #99, #100, #101, #102.
+4. Run a validation checkpoint for Game Hub intake, Game Journey bootstrap/count model, Idea Board validation, and first-stack reports.
+5. Process Batch 2 in order: #103, #104, #105, #106.
+6. Run a validation checkpoint for Game Hub parent/child table behavior.
+7. Process Batch 3 in order: #107, #108, #109, #110, #111, #112, #113, #114.
+8. Run a validation checkpoint for Game Hub child rows, table layout, action cleanup, selected-state behavior, crew labels, Idea Board cleanup, and route coverage.
+9. Process Batch 4 in order: #115, #116.
+10. Run a validation checkpoint for Idea Board status filter/dropdown behavior.
+11. Do not merge #117; keep it archive-only and close as superseded after OWNER approval.
+12. Hold #118 until the runtime stack has landed or been rejected; then recreate or close final closeout evidence based on current `main`.
+
+## Required Decisions
+
+| Decision | Result |
+| --- | --- |
+| Does #118 supersede portions of the stack? | Yes, but only report/closeout portions. It does not supersede runtime implementation PRs #96 through #116. |
+| Should #117 remain archive-only? | Yes. Treat #117 as archive-only closeout evidence and close as superseded after OWNER approval. |
+| Are any PRs merge-safe independently? | No. All #96 through #118 PRs currently target non-main base branches. |
+| Should the stack merge as grouped batches? | Yes. Use ordered batches with strict internal order and validation checkpoints after each batch. |
+
+## Validation Lane Report
+
+Commands used:
+- `git branch --show-current`
+- `git status --short`
+- `git rev-list --left-right --count main...origin/main`
+- `git pull --ff-only`
+- `gh pr view 95 --repo ToolboxAid/HTML-JavaScript-Gaming --json ...`
+- `gh pr view 96..118 --repo ToolboxAid/HTML-JavaScript-Gaming --json ...`
+- `git diff --check`
+- `git diff --cached --check`
+- `tar -tf tmp/PR_26175_OWNER_053-alfa-stack-resolution-plan_delta.zip`
+
+Validation result:
+- PASS: Started from clean, synchronized `main`.
+- PASS: Read all Project Instructions.
+- PASS: Used GitHub PR metadata for all reviewed Alfa PRs.
+- PASS: Produced report-only artifacts.
+- PASS: No runtime code changed.
+
+## Manual Validation Notes
+
+- GitHub reports #96 through #118 as open draft PRs.
+- GitHub reports #96 through #118 as `CLEAN` / `MERGEABLE` against their current branch bases.
+- The current branch bases are stacked branches, not `main`.
+- #95 is already merged and is the upstream base before #96.
+- No PR merge, PR closure, or branch deletion was performed by this report.

++## Executive Summary
 +
-+| Relative Path | Added/Updated/Deleted | Concise Change Summary |
-+|---|---|---|
-+| None | none | No changed code files. |
++GitHub is authoritative for this review. PRs #96 through #118 are open draft Alfa PRs. GitHub reports each as `CLEAN` / `MERGEABLE` against its current base branch, but the PRs are stacked on non-main bases. None of #96 through #118 should be treated as independently merge-safe to `main` in its current PR configuration.
 +
-+## 9. Purpose
++The stack should be resolved as ordered batches. PR #95, the ALFA_001 base, is already merged. PR #96 can become the first mainline merge candidate only after retargeting or rebasing onto current `main`, followed by validation. PRs #97 through #116 should then be processed in strict chain order, with validation checkpoints at batch boundaries.
 +
-+Captures the final SQLite inventory after PR026 and PR027.
++PR #118 does not supersede the runtime portions of the stack. It is final closeout evidence. It can supersede portions of the closeout reporting from #117, but it does not replace Game Hub, Game Journey, Idea Board, tests, CSS, or metadata changes from #96 through #116.
 +
-+## 10. Risks
++PR #117 should remain archive-only and should not be merged as runtime work. It can be closed as superseded by #118 after OWNER accepts #118 as the final closeout evidence.
 +
-+Low runtime risk because changed files are reports/governance/docs only; review risk is traceability and owner approval sequencing.
++No PRs were merged. No PRs were closed. No branches were deleted. No runtime code was modified.
 +
-+## 11. Dependencies
++## Alfa Dependency Chain Diagram
 +
-+Historical Gamma/SQLite chain. Team Gamma is retired; Team Golf is the replacement active ownership lane. Review with #30 and #43 context before acting on #50.
-+
-+## 12. Recommendation
-+
-+Review First. Likely final historical Gamma/SQLite status packet, now routed to Team Golf for active ownership decisions.

-+
-+Low runtime risk because changed files are reports/governance/docs only; review risk is traceability and owner approval sequencing.
-+
-+## 11. Dependencies
-+
-+ProjectInstructions governance chain; history-sensitive and requires OWNER approval before merge or closure.
-+
-+## 12. Recommendation
-+
-+Owner Decision Required. Historical governance bootstrap overlaps current ProjectInstructions state and must not be merged or archived without OWNER decision.

++
++## Merge Candidates
++
++No PR in #96 through #118 is merge-safe independently in its current GitHub configuration because every PR targets a non-main base branch.
++
++Conditional merge candidates after dependency handling:
++- #96 through #102: foundation and first validation batch. #96 can start after retargeting/rebasing onto current `main` because #95 is already merged.
++- #103 through #106: Game Hub parent/child table batch.
++- #107 through #114: Game Hub child-row, table layout, actions, selected state, crew label, Idea Board cleanup, and metadata batch.
++- #115 through #116: Idea Board status filter/dropdown batch.
++
++Each batch should preserve internal PR order. Within a batch, merge sequentially and run a validation checkpoint after the batch lands on `main`.
++
++## Superseded Candidates
++
++#117 is the superseded candidate.
++
++Reason:
++- #117 is report-only EOD workstream closeout evidence.
++- #118 is the later final closeout evidence.
++- #118 can supersede the reporting purpose of #117, but it does not supersede runtime or test changes from #96 through #116.
++
++Recommendation:
++- Keep #117 as archive-only evidence in GitHub history.
++- Close #117 as superseded after OWNER confirms #118 is the accepted final closeout record.
++
++## Hold Candidates
++
++#118 should be held.
++
++Reason:
++- #118 is final closeout evidence, not runtime implementation.
++- It depends on #117, which should remain archive-only and is not recommended for merge.
++- #118 is useful for owner review and audit context, but should not be merged before the runtime stack decision is complete.
++
++Recommendation:
++- Hold #118 until #96 through #116 have been resolved.
++- After runtime stack resolution, either recreate final closeout evidence from current `main` or close #118 as historical closeout evidence.
++
++## Final Recommended Merge Order
++
++1. Confirm #95 remains merged to `main`.
++2. Retarget or rebase #96 onto current `main`; validate; merge #96 if clean.
++3. Process Batch 1 in order: #97, #98, #99, #100, #101, #102.
++4. Run a validation checkpoint for Game Hub intake, Game Journey bootstrap/count model, Idea Board validation, and first-stack reports.
++5. Process Batch 2 in order: #103, #104, #105, #106.
++6. Run a validation checkpoint for Game Hub parent/child table behavior.
++7. Process Batch 3 in order: #107, #108, #109, #110, #111, #112, #113, #114.
++8. Run a validation checkpoint for Game Hub child rows, table layout, action cleanup, selected-state behavior, crew labels, Idea Board cleanup, and route coverage.
++9. Process Batch 4 in order: #115, #116.
++10. Run a validation checkpoint for Idea Board status filter/dropdown behavior.
++11. Do not merge #117; keep it archive-only and close as superseded after OWNER approval.
++12. Hold #118 until the runtime stack has landed or been rejected; then recreate or close final closeout evidence based on current `main`.
++
++## Required Decisions
++
++| Decision | Result |
++| --- | --- |
++| Does #118 supersede portions of the stack? | Yes, but only report/closeout portions. It does not supersede runtime implementation PRs #96 through #116. |
++| Should #117 remain archive-only? | Yes. Treat #117 as archive-only closeout evidence and close as superseded after OWNER approval. |
++| Are any PRs merge-safe independently? | No. All #96 through #118 PRs currently target non-main base branches. |
++| Should the stack merge as grouped batches? | Yes. Use ordered batches with strict internal order and validation checkpoints after each batch. |

++## Validation Lane Report
 +
-+Part of the PR_26174 Alfa stack; owner should review stack order before merge. PR #118 appears to be a final closeout report dependent on #117 and the earlier Alfa stack.
++Commands used:
++- `git branch --show-current`
++- `git status --short`
++- `git rev-list --left-right --count main...origin/main`
++- `git pull --ff-only`
++- `gh pr view 95 --repo ToolboxAid/HTML-JavaScript-Gaming --json ...`
++- `gh pr view 96..118 --repo ToolboxAid/HTML-JavaScript-Gaming --json ...`
++- `git diff --check`
++- `git diff --cached --check`
++- `tar -tf tmp/PR_26175_OWNER_053-alfa-stack-resolution-plan_delta.zip`
++
++Validation result:
++- PASS: Started from clean, synchronized `main`.
++- PASS: Read all Project Instructions.
++- PASS: Used GitHub PR metadata for all reviewed Alfa PRs.
++- PASS: Produced report-only artifacts.
++- PASS: No runtime code changed.
 +
-+## 12. Recommendation
++## Manual Validation Notes
 +
-+Review First. Treat as owner closeout evidence for the Alfa stack; do not merge until stack/order review is complete.
++- GitHub reports #96 through #118 as open draft PRs.
++- GitHub reports #96 through #118 as `CLEAN` / `MERGEABLE` against their current branch bases.
++- The current branch bases are stacked branches, not `main`.
++- #95 is already merged and is the upstream base before #96.
++- No PR merge, PR closure, or branch deletion was performed by this report.
