Research-led. The tool handles the money; the other half of dealing is the calls. A home-game dealer who is not a pro has to rule on a misdeal or a prematurely turned board card with a table watching, and the usual outcome is an argument settled by whoever is loudest.
A Common rulings link under the table opens a reference covering exactly the situations that come up:
What counts as a misdeal — first card to the wrong seat, a seat dealt out or dealt in wrongly, two or more boxed cards, either of the first two cards exposed by dealer error.
A board card turned too early — it is out of play for the round; finish the betting, then burn and turn what would have been the fifth card in its place.
Acting out of turn — backed up if nobody has acted behind, penalised when repeated.
It follows the Tournament Directors Association rules and says plainly that house rules win, and that a dispute is settled between hands rather than during one. I kept the content to what the sources actually state rather than filling in from memory, since a confidently wrong ruling is worse than no ruling.
It is a sheet rather than a sixth sidebar panel — a dealer consults this rarely and needs it immediately, which is the opposite of what a panel is for, and last round took the sidebar down to four on purpose.
Validation (Playwright, headed)
Opens from the link; closes via Done, Escape, and backdrop click; stays open when you click inside it (a reference you dismiss by accident while reading is useless).
The keyboard guard was extended to cover it: pressing f with the sheet open folded nobody and left the sheet up. That was the specific regression risk in adding a new overlay after last rounds shortcuts work.
Renders correctly at 390px and 1280px, fits the viewport, no page overflow, no console errors.
Based on feature/casino-holdem-bet-chips (PR #29) — merge order #22 → #23 → #24 → #25 → #26 → #27 → #28 → #29 → this.

The tool handles the money; the other half of dealing is the calls. A home-game
dealer who isn't a pro has to rule on a misdeal or a prematurely turned board
card with a table watching, and the usual outcome is an argument settled by
whoever is loudest.
A "Common rulings" link under the table opens a reference for exactly the
situations that come up: what counts as a misdeal, what to do when the fourth
board card gets turned before the betting is finished, and how acting out of
turn is normally treated. It follows the Tournament Directors Association
rules, and says plainly that house rules win and that a dispute gets settled
between hands rather than during one.
It's a sheet rather than a sixth sidebar panel — a dealer consults this rarely
and needs it immediately, which is the opposite of what a panel is for.
