Shelved PR 403 wildcard deck transparency

Shelved: PR #403 — Wildcard deck transparency (show players the card list + next-draw timing)

State: Ray-shelved 2026-07-03 (Build 89 pick round). PR #403 was closed without merging; nothing from it is in Build 88/89.

WHAT

Exposes the previously-hidden wildcard system to players: it publishes a client-readable manifest of the AI-commander and GUER wildcard cards, publishes an approximate per-side "next wildcard draw" timestamp (with JIP catch-up on connect), and adds a new Wildcards help page describing the deck. Players would be able to read what cards exist and roughly when the next wildcard fires, instead of the deck being an opaque surprise. No card weights, eligibility, draw, marker, checkpoint, or reward behavior changes — this is purely making the existing deck legible.

WHERE

• PR: #403 — "Lane 156: expose wildcard deck timing".
• Branch / head commit: codex/lane156-wildcard-deck-transparency @ e21ae06b53fc572f5d6dc1b8207c0893cefba1b2.
• Flag (if any): No gating flag — instead adds client-readable data constants WFBE_C_AI_COMMANDER_WILDCARD_DECK_INFO and WFBE_C_GUER_WILDCARD_DECK_INFO (display manifests) in Init_CommonConstants.sqf.
• Files touched: Common/Init/Init_CommonConstants.sqf (deck-info manifest constants), the conventional + GUER wildcard worker scripts (publish WFBE_WILDCARD_NEXT_WEST/_EAST/_GUER approximate next-draw stamps), Server_OnPlayerConnected.sqf (JIP catch-up of those stamps), and the Help menu scripts Client/GUI/GUI_Menu_Help.sqf (Chernarus new Wildcards page; Takistan/Zargabad get the same content added as a section to their older map-specific Help menu). ~15 SQF files across all three maps.

WHY SHELVED

Ray's reason (2026-07-03): "no" — declined exposing wildcard deck data and draw timing to players. The wildcard deck is intended to stay a surprise; revealing the card list and next-draw clock removes that.

HOW TO REVIVE

• Recover from codex/lane156-wildcard-deck-transparency @ e21ae06b53fc572f5d6dc1b8207c0893cefba1b2.
• Touches CLIENT Help menus + client-readable data, so revival must bump the mission pbo filename and repoint the cfg (client changes cache by filename).
• Design change needed if revived: to keep the surprise Ray wants, gate it behind a flag (e.g. default-off) or trim it to the static card LIST only while dropping the WFBE_WILDCARD_NEXT_* timing publish — the timing reveal is the part Ray objected to.
• Re-check the wildcard worker script paths and the Help-menu structure against Build 88+ before rebasing (the deck and Help menus have moved since).
