# Plundered Hearts (Infocom Release 26, serial 870730, Z-machine V3)
# VERIFIED COMPLETE SOLVE: 25/25, won=True, died=False -- best ending,
# "Happily Ever After" (father rescued AND away with Jamison).
#
# Reproduce with the RNG-pinned replay harness (free, no API):
#   cd ~/src/zwalker
#   python3 scripts/replay_solve.py games/zcode/plundered.z3 walkthroughs/plundered_verified_25.txt --seeds 4
#   => plundered_verified_25.txt: VERIFIED 25/25 at seed 1 | 186 cmds | died=False | won=True
#
# the bare substring "you are dead" -- Lafond's mandatory pre-duel taunt on the
# beach ("You will have no need of her when you are dead.", extras.zil:2168 in
# the official source) false-positives on it, turning this clean win into
# died=True. Refining that marker to the Zork-style kill phrasing
# "afraid you are dead" fixes it; all previously verified solves reproduce
# their documented results with the refined marker.
#
# Ending: the full-score "Happily Ever After" finale. Papa is freed from the
# dungeon cell and slips out the library window; the crew storms the mansion on
# the tray signal; Nicholas Jamison runs Lafond through in the duel on the
# beach; the heroine loads Lafond's dropped pistol from the powder horn and
# shoots Crulley off the cliff ("earning the title, 'Happily Ever After'"),
# then sails for America with Nicholas at 25/25 in 192 game turns.
#
# Why a pinned seed: this route is deterministic in practice -- it scores
# 25/25 with the identical 192-turn timeline at every RNG seed tested (1-8);
# seed 1 is pinned only so the replay is bit-stable. What actually gates the
# game is scripted timing, which this route satisfies: the anchor is lowered
# before the tide turns (else the ship drifts onto the reefs near move 100),
# the wet rag lands on the powder-magazine fuse (else the ship explodes near
# move 130), the butler must drink the drugged goblet and collapse BEFORE the
# tray is waved (signalling first summons the crew while he is awake -- he
# drags you to the dragoons and you die), the exact phrasing "wave tray in
# moonlight" is required for the signal point (plain "wave tray" is a no-op),
# and Cookie -- who only shows up because of that signal -- wrestles the
# re-woken crocodile so you can reach the dungeon. The two leading "z" lines
# flush the prologue's two [Press RETURN or ENTER] pauses.
#
# Route facts (which commands, not their expression here) cross-checked from
# community walkthroughs (J. Gunness's solution, eristic.net, and
# walkthroughking.com) and the historicalsource/plunderedhearts ZIL; every
# step machine-played and validated against the binary through the GameWalker
# pathway. Header prose is original.
