v0.27: the table answers a Departure

A report from a table: a player on the Slow Boat held a Tip-Off, a rival booked a Private Jet, and the round of turns went past before the Tip-Off was ever offered. The rules were fine (a Tip-Off on a Departure is an anytime play) but with computer players taking their turns in seconds, anytime was a few seconds and nothing on screen said now.

From v0.27 the online table opens a departure window the moment a Departure is booked, the same way it does for a crime: every other player is asked at once, on a twenty-second clock, to play a Tip-Off, a Leak, or let the leaver go. The answers are revealed together and land in seat order, each one answerable as before with Shred, Deny or the trickster's own Favor. Computer players use the same window. The round of turns still follows; the window makes the first chance to answer a real, visible moment. The paper rules are unchanged.

Also today: the how-to-play tour has a step for the window, every page of this site shares one header and footer, the trailer has captions, and the site publishes an llms.txt for the language models that read it.
