Closes #7541. The face-down half of the arm #7540 repaired.

Defect

face_down: Some(true) set the flag and nothing else, so the permanent kept its name, printed P/T and abilities while claiming to be face down — and back_face stayed empty, which meant the face-up path repaired by #7540 could never bring it back.

CR 708.2a: a permanent turned face down "becomes a 2/2 face-down creature with no text, no name, no subtypes, and no mana cost". Those are characteristics to install over a snapshot, not a flag to raise.

Fix

Routes through zone_pipeline::apply_face_down_entry_profile, the authority the manifest, cloak and face-down-cast paths all run through, stamped FaceDownCause::TurnedFaceDown so the marker art added by #7535 names the right keyword action.

CR 708.2b — "A face-down permanent can't be turned face down … nothing happens and that effect doesn't change any of its characteristics" — falls out of the was_face_down guard rather than being re-asserted.

Coverage

row asserts
…_snapshots_the_real_face_and_the_round_trip_closes face down → nameless 2/2 with the real face stashed; face up → the real card back
a_second_turn_face_down_leaves_the_stored_face_alone CR 708.2b — the stored face survives a second write

The second row is a pin, not a discriminator: it stays green with the new arm removed, because the flag-only fallback is harmless there too. It turns red if a future rewrite drops was_face_down from the pattern, and its doc comment says so.

Counter-probe

With the arm disabled, the round-trip row fails on left: "Open Bear" right: "".

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved debug controls for turning battlefield permanents face down using standard face-down behavior.
    • Restoring a face-down permanent now correctly returns its original characteristics.
    • Repeated face-down requests no longer overwrite the stored original state.
    • Face-down transitions now preserve flipped-face information and use printed base characteristics.
    • Unsupported melded and double-faced permanents are rejected safely without changing the object.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for face-down transitions, restoration, repeated requests, preserved state, and invalid targets.

…rs#7541)

The face-down half of the arm phase-rs#7540 repaired. `face_down: Some(true)` set
the flag and nothing else, so the permanent kept its name, printed P/T and

which meant the repaired face-up path could never bring it back.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

DebugAction::SetFaceState now uses shared face-down processing for battlefield permanents. The change snapshots restoration data, applies face-down characteristics, emits TurnedFaceDown, rejects unsupported permanents, and adds regression coverage.

Changes

Debug face-state transitions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Centralize face-down processing
crates/engine/src/game/effects/turn_face_down.rs
The shared helper validates eligibility, preserves printed or flipped-face data, applies the face-down profile, records the cause, emits TurnedFaceDown, and re-derives layers.
Wire debug actions and validate restoration
crates/engine/src/game/engine_debug.rs, crates/engine/tests/integration/issue_7539_debug_turn_face_up.rs
Debug face-down requests use the shared helper. The zone-change request uses silent chain-referent intent. Tests cover restoration, repeated requests, modified characteristics, flipped permanents, and melded permanents.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5e397

The PR now snapshots and restores the real face when a permanent is turned face down, but merge readiness remains moderate because tests do not verify every required face-down characteristic or cause and do not exercise the merged-permanent refusal path, leaving concrete regressions unguarded.

Assert the complete face-down profile.

This fixture has a printed mana cost, but the test does not assert that the face-down permanent loses it. The blank creature also cannot detect retained text or subtypes. CR 708.2a requires no text, no subtypes, and no mana cost in addition to the asserted name and 2/2 values. (media.wizards.com)

Use a fixture with a nonempty subtype and ability. Assert that all three characteristics are removed. Also assert FaceDownCause::TurnedFaceDown, so an entry-only cause cannot satisfy this regression test. As per path instructions, “A test must exercise the FAILURE path the fix prevents.”

[HIGH] Route the debug turn-face-down action through reusable direct-turn authority, not the battlefield-entry profile. Evidence: crates/engine/src/game/engine_debug.rs:356 calls zone_pipeline::apply_face_down_entry_profile, but that function is explicitly limited to battlefield entry and snapshots live characteristics with snapshot_object_face at zone_pipeline.rs:3157-3176. In contrast, effects/turn_face_down.rs:44-97 is the existing authority for a permanent already on the battlefield: it rejects DFC/meld through transform::is_double_faced_permanent, preserves a flipped permanent's stashed normal face, snapshots snapshot_object_base_face, installs the specified profile/cause, emits GameEvent::TurnedFaceDown, and marks layers. Why it matters: the current debug path can restore live layer-modified characteristics as base after a face-down/face-up round trip, overwrite the flip stash, and turn ineligible DFC/meld permanents face down. Adding only the missing event from CodeRabbit's comment would leave those rules errors intact. Suggested fix: extract/reuse a direct permanent-turn-face-down authority from the existing resolver and call it from the debug action (do not fabricate a resolved ability there); cover layered base restoration, flipped stash and DFC/meld eligibility as applicable, the emitted event, and the complete face-down profile/cause.

…authority

The sandbox arm ran `zone_pipeline::apply_face_down_entry_profile`, which
serves battlefield ENTRY: it snapshots the live face, so a permanent carrying
continuous modifications came back from the round trip with them baked into
its base (and then re-applied on top); it overwrote a flipped permanent's
stashed normal half; and it accepted double-faced and melded permanents.

The eligible authority already existed in the Ixidron / Cyber Conversion
resolver. Its per-object body is now extracted as
`effects::turn_face_down::turn_permanent_face_down` — base-face snapshot,
flip-stash preservation, CR 712.16 / CR 730.2j refusal, cause stamping,
`TurnedFaceDown` event, layer re-derive — shared by the resolver loop and
the sandbox arm, which converts a refusal into an error (mirroring the
face-up arm) instead of staying silent.

Three discriminating rows: a +1/+1-countered 4/4 round-trips to base 4/4
with the counter applying exactly once; a flipped permanent's stashed normal
half survives; a melded permanent is refused unchanged. All three fail on
the pre-fix entry-profile path; the four existing rows and the resolver's
seven unit rows stay green either way.

Fixed in ba539b9 — the arm now runs the direct-turn authority, extracted from the resolver you named.

Extraction. The per-object body of effects/turn_face_down.rs::resolve is now turn_permanent_face_down (same file): CR 708.2b / CR 712.16 / CR 730.2j eligibility, base-face snapshot vs. flip-stash preservation (CR 710.4), profile + cause stamping, TurnedFaceDown emission, layer re-derive. The resolver loops over it; the debug arm calls it directly — no fabricated resolved ability. A refusal in the debug arm becomes an error (mirroring the face-up arm), since the was_face_down guard leaves only the DFC/meld class.

Rows (issue_7539_debug_turn_face_up.rs):

Row Pre-fix failure
a 4/4 with a +1/+1 counter round-trips to base 4/4, counter applies once stash held live 5/5 → base 5/5 + counter
a flipped permanent's stashed normal half survives the turn-down stash overwritten with the flipped half
a melded permanent is refused, unchanged silently turned face down

All three fail on the pre-fix apply_face_down_entry_profile path; the four existing rows and the resolver's seven unit rows stay green either way.

Exercise the merged-double-faced refusal path.

This fixture sets MergeKind::Meld directly on an otherwise ordinary creature. It covers the meld restriction, but it does not prove the CR 730.2j case for a face-up merged permanent that contains a double-faced component. Add a regression that creates that component shape through the production merge path. Capture the protected face state before the rejected action and assert that it is unchanged afterward. CR 712.16 and CR 730.2j define separate refusal cases. (media.wizards.com)

Maintainer update completed for current head 5e397374f6164afd37379127b9e7adec591b2fa7. The earlier formal review was attached to ba539b9f9aba93cdde63b80d1ab27a941caa88c1 and is not being carried across this new merge-main commit. CI, the parse-diff artifact, and CodeRabbit are regenerating for this exact head; once that current-head evidence is available, maintainer review will resume.
