"post_state_invariant": "The target's custody is absent after the action: remove a whole prop's possession or its containing packet's custodian_ref. Preserve all card identity, order, faces, physical exception state, display orientation, location, and packet topology. Releasing an already unowned pile is idempotent.",

},
"boundary_note": "Structured evaluation is scoped to playing-cards state 0.1. Document occurrences require an explicit target and an explicit actor_ref resolving to a declared participant; there is no recipient or position parameter. The actor need not be the current custodian. A card target releases its containing HOST pile, never its origin merely because it owns the card. Null is an effect instruction in semantics 1.1, not a serialized custody value. Other prop types need their own versioned state contracts."
