jheapsandClaude Opus 5 f966d8c340 Pay somebody out and keep the chair, the cash and the record straight
The most ordinary thing that happens at a home game after midnight — somebody
counts up and goes home — and the tool had nothing for it. Freeing the chair
meant wiping the seat by hand, and the bank check then declared their whole stack
missing: "someone has paid for chips they haven't been given", for the rest of
the night. Measured on a balanced table, cashing a player out with $350 in front
of them left the check $350 short. Wiping their buy-in as well silenced it, at
the price of losing their entire night from the standings and from the file the
dealer hands over at the end.

Cashing out is two facts, and both have to survive the empty chair: the box took
their cash, and the box handed their chips back. Both are kept now, so the chair
opens and the money still adds up.

Cash out… is in the seat menu. It says what to count — "$350 — 3×$100, 2×$25" —
what they bought in for, and whether they leave up or down, because that is the
sentence the dealer says while their hands are moving. The bank check gains a
Paid out line and reads "balanced ... once the $350 paid out to players who have
left is counted", alongside the discards and the house's cut. The standings keep
them with a stripe and the words "· paid out", so nobody counts money out to them
twice at 2am, and the export marks them the same way.

It refuses to pay anybody with money still in the middle: taking chips out of a
pot other people can win, or handing the same chips over twice, are both worse
than waiting for the hand to finish. The chair gets a fresh id, because the
person who had it has gone and the next player to sit down is not them.

Two things this turned up. The first draft worked out what a seat was holding by
itself, read `Number(null)` as a perfectly good zero, and offered to pay a player
with no stack set nothing at all — it asks Betting now, which owns that rule.
The second was mine and the audit caught it: marking the departed row with
opacity took the In and Won cells to 3.83:1, under AA, on the very list a dealer
settles from. It is a stripe instead.

19 new tests, with the departed buy-in dropped from the check and the pot guard
disabled on purpose to confirm they fail. Walked through in the browser: menu,
confirm, payout, bank, standings, undo, and the refusal.
