# Deadline (Infocom Release 28, serial 850129, Z-machine V3)
# VERIFIED COMPLETE SOLVE: won=True (correct arrest + conviction epilogue), died=False
#
# Reproduce with the RNG-pinned replay harness (free, no API):

#   => deadline_verified_win.txt: VERIFIED 13/None at seed 1 | 129 cmds | died=False | won=True
#
# Deadline is a V3 "time" game (Flags 1 bit 1): the status line is a 12-hour
# CLOCK, not a score. Its own clock.zil labels the two status globals exactly
# ("SCORE INDICATES HOURS / MOVES = MINUTES"): global 17 = hours, global 18 =
# minutes, so vm.get_score() reads the HOUR (it reports 8 at 8:00 AM start and
# 13 at the 1:10 PM arrest -- that "13/None" in the line above is the wall
# clock, NOT a point score). There is no numeric score and no max score
# (vm.get_max_score() is None); the SCORE verb prints a prose evaluation. The
# ending is decided purely by evidence flags, so this is a WIN_TEXT solve.
#
# The WIN_TEXT directive below matches the one line printed ONLY by the true
# winning ending -- Commissioner Klutz's Sept 5 letter reporting that "a jury
# convicted Mr. Baxter and Ms. Dunbar today of the murder of Mr. Robner"
# (actions.zil:3922, the OBJECT-PAIR-F ARREST branch, reached only after
# END-HEADER + EPILOGUE). Every OTHER outcome of "arrest Baxter and Dunbar"
# prints "declined to convict Mr. Baxter and Ms. Dunbar" (present tense, the
# hung/acquitting juries at actions.zil:3958/3969) or an earlier DA refusal;
# the past-tense "convicted Mr. Baxter and Ms. Dunbar" string is unique to the
# win (grep of the official ZIL: the only "convicted" is line 3922). \s+ guards
# every word gap against line-wrap.
#
# The win gate (actions.zil:3914-3929): arrest the Baxter+Dunbar PAIR after
# 11:40 AM with Dunbar still alive AND all four evidence flags set --
#   1. NOTE-READ      : rub the pencil on the library notepad (the "Baxter ...
#                       Focus" impression -> motive)                cmd 15
#   2. LAB-REPORT held: dig the porcelain teacup fragment out of the rose-
#                       garden holes and "analyze fragment for loblo"; Sgt
#                       Duffy returns the lab slip (the poison method) cmds 46-47
#   3. BAXTER-PAPERS  : catch George at the hidden-closet safe and take the
#                       Focus embezzlement papers (Baxter's motive)   cmd 93
#   4. STUB-D         : after accusing Dunbar she flees and drops a concert
#                       ticket stub; show it to her (breaks the alibi) cmd 114
#
# Ending: Chief of Detectives, 12-hour clock. Marshall Robner was poisoned
# with his secretary Ms. Dunbar's blood-pressure drug LoBlo, administered in a
# teacup (smashed and buried in the rose garden) by Dunbar, whose partner Mr.
# Baxter climbed the balcony ladder that night -- his motive the Focus
# embezzlement that Robner's new will would have exposed. With means (LoBlo lab
# report), motive (Focus papers + calendar) and opportunity (the concert-alibi
# ticket stub tying Baxter and Dunbar together that night) all in evidence,
# arresting the pair at the shed at 1:10 PM convicts them both.
#
# Timeline milestones (clock from the status line, logged during recording):
#   8:00 start (South Lawn)        8:12 library, rub pad (NOTE-READ)
#   8:31 Garden Path               11:13 McNabb arrives, complains of holes
#   11:19 Among the Roses, dig     11:23 analyze fragment for LoBlo
#   11:50 Duffy delivers LAB-REPORT (during the will wait)
#   11:56 will read in Living Room 12:17 George opens the hidden safe
#   12:31 take Focus papers        12:42 show lab report to Dunbar + accuse
#   12:51 Dunbar drops ticket stub 12:55 show stub to Dunbar (STUB-D)
#   1:09 Baxter+Dunbar at shed     1:10 ARREST -> conviction epilogue
#
# Why a pinned seed: boot draws no randomness (two boots are byte-identical),
# so the interpreter RNG is pinned right after start() with NO restart prelude.
# The seed then fixes every randomized delay -- Duffy's 15-30 min lab turnaround
# (DO-FINGERPRINT, actions.zil:2715), McNabb's 2-12 min "holes" outburst
# (I-G-I-G, goal.zil:509), the George-safe GEORGE-SEARCH window and the Dunbar
# flee timing -- so the exact recorded command list (including each 'y' answer
# to a "keep waiting? (Y/N)" prompt and each fixed filler 'look') replays
# deterministically. Recorded and verified at seed 1.
#
# Harness/quirks notes:
#  - Multi-minute waits ("wait until 11:00", "wait for mcnabb") are ONE command
#    line each but are interrupted by passing NPCs with "Do you want to keep
#    waiting? (Y/N)"; each following 'y' answers one such prompt (cmds 33-34,
#    36-37, 57-62, 119-127). Bare 'y' outside a prompt is a harmless
#    "You must supply a verb!" no-op, but under the pinned seed every 'y' lands
#    exactly on a prompt.
#  - The front door auto-closes behind you, so "open door" precedes each
#    foyer<->front-path crossing (cmds 27, 52, 108).
#  - George must be given 10-15 turns at the safe before you press the library
#    button: the twelve fixed 'look' fillers on the balcony (cmds 77-88) land
#    GEORGE-SEARCH in-window so he is caught with the safe OPEN (papers
#    reachable), not still dialing (too early) or already gone (too late).
