DETERMINISTIC BLACKJACK — V9.2.117-UAT PREAMBLE FIREWALL PATCH 1. LINK no longer requires a known preamble closing bankroll. 2. Linked preamble contributes chronology/context only. Formal session money always starts on a fresh £100 research frame from the separately confirmed Hand-1 platform balance. 3. A known preamble closing platform balance may produce an informational continuity note, but cannot block linkage. 4. Choosing INDEPENDENT keeps the accepted preamble file as historical evidence; after the independent formal session is successfully saved it is retired from the pending queue and marked NOT_LINKED_FORMAL_SESSION so it cannot drift into Session 17. 5. New screenshot-request generation removes stale preamble_screenshot_chatgpt_request_*.txt request artefacts only. Candidate files and accepted/linked evidence are never deleted by this cleanup. 6. Existing accepted PREAMBLE-20260926-023139 remains unchanged and unconsumed. Existing canonical PNG archive is untouched. UAT EXPECTATION - Start CLI and select L. - Answer N to Record/use a PREAMBLE (the accepted preamble is already pending). - At UNCONSUMED PREAMBLE choose L. - Link must proceed even though CLOSING_BANKROLL_STATUS is UNKNOWN. - Formal Hand-1 balance is entered independently and defines a fresh £100 research frame.
