 ## Summary
 
-Inter-player trade EXISTS but is **luxury-for-luxury swaps only**
-(`mc-trade/src/lib.rs:139 evaluate_trades`; AI-driven, relation-gated, can't trade
-your last copy). You **cannot trade gold or strategic resources** with opponents,
-and the `tribute.rs` path is deferred to Game 2. That makes diplomacy/economy
-thinner than the resource model implies (strategic resources gate units and are
-tradeable in concept, but no exchange path exists).
+> **DISCOVERY (2026-06-25, verify-first):** the original premise was wrong. The
+> inter-player trade turn-integration is **DISABLED in the played game**, not
+> "luxury-only". `turn_manager.gd:287` has `Diplomacy.process_turn()` commented out
+> with a stale "empty stub module" note (diplomacy.gd was rebuilt but never
+> re-enabled). The *only* writer of `GameState.trade_ledger_json` is diplomacy.gd:32
+> inside that disabled call, so **no inter-player trades run at all** (luxury, strategic,
+> or gold). Worse, the `diplomacy.gd ↔ GdTrade.process_trades` contract has drifted
+> in 3 places: (1) `_serialize_players` emits `{index, traded_luxuries, personality}`
+> but `process_trades` deserializes `Vec<PlayerTradeInput>` (`player_index`,
+> `tile_luxuries`, `tile_strategics`, `trade_willingness`); (2) `process_trades`
+> returns `{ledger}` but diplomacy.gd reads `result["trade_ledger_json"]`,
+> `["relation_changes"]`, `["new_trades"]`, `["broken_trades"]`; (3) relations
+> advancement isn't returned. So enabling is NOT a one-line uncomment.

+The **simulation logic is complete + cargo-tested** (luxury/strategic swaps + gold
+sales in `mc-trade`, 66/0) and the gold-flow application is wired (part A) — but it
+is all **inert in-game until the diplomacy turn-integration is revived**. The
+`tribute.rs` path stays Game-2 deferred.
