The offline native guest is now offered only Erudit (the profileless default
from the variants fix), so the specs that picked the English "Scrabble"
variant timed out. Play Erudit instead: the single `.variant` click both
selects it and asserts nothing else is offered; the vs_ai test plays НОЖ from
the pinned Erudit rack (ОЖЬЯНАО), and the bundled ru_erudit dawg drives the
robot reply.
The adaptive foreground's asterisk grazed the round mask's safe zone. Scale the
foreground mark 0.75 about the icon centre (25% smaller, the letter-to-star
arrangement unchanged) so it sits well inside the 61% safe zone. Independently,
the legacy square ic_launcher.png now renders the full-bleed master instead of
the safe-zone composite, so old Android (< API 26) shows a large mark rather
than a shrunk one; the legacy round icon keeps the safe-zone composite (a round
mask would clip the master's corner star). Regenerate the layer set, Android
res and the brandbook foreground previews; update ICON_BRANDBOOK.md / ICONS.md.
availableVariants fell back to all three variants when the player had no
stored preferences. A fresh offline native launch boots with no profile, so
New Game exposed the English game before the player opted in — contrary to the
backend's Erudit-only new-account default (docs/FUNCTIONAL.md). Fall back to
DEFAULT_VARIANTS (Erudit only) instead; all dictionaries stay bundled.
