Implementation Notes

The commit message for this slice was:

Crew role selects now submit real role ids, stale or locked contract requests render clean player-facing errors, and the narration prefetch API returns structured JSON failures instead of 500s. Adds a no-dependency flow checker for the current player-facing forms, buttons, and JSON controls.

Files touched in this slice included:

• public/api/narrate-prefetch.php
• public/crew.php
• public/includes/Rules.php
• public/play.php
• tools/e2e-flow-check.py

Verification

• The change was committed to main and included in the running devlog timeline.
• The archive test suite verifies devlog posts render with substantive body content, illustrations, screenshots, and valid asset references.
• Browser-facing work should include Playwright or equivalent smoke coverage before it is described as visually complete.
