## What is Decoction?

Practice Table lets you rehearse a fictional case, pin a baseline and compare another formula with the same base scoring rules used in a tour. Save your experiments in a local practice notebook.

HOW TO USE THE UPGRADE
1. Open Practice Table from the main menu. Choose a fictional case, a diagnosis guess and two to four distinct ingredient cards.
2. Evaluate the trial and pin it as the baseline. Explore one-card alternatives from the starter-card pool.
3. Try a swap and read the difference in target distance and score.
4. Save a trial, revisit it later or share its text report. This practice spends and awards no tour resources.

The seven-day deck-building tour, ingredient catalog, patient cases, reference material, achievements and Casebook tools remain available.

WHAT TO KNOW
This is historical-fiction gameplay, not real medical guidance or a usable recipe. Base scoring excludes tools, archetypes and Rigour. Alternatives search one-card substitutions from the starter pool, not every deck. The local notebook holds up to 100 trials and 4 MB; deleting a trial does not affect tour progress.

iPhone and iPad. No account required.

### 3.0 — 2026-07-12

Decoction 3.0 - Reproducible Tours:

• Every campaign now has a shareable, checksum-validated replay code. Re-enter it to reproduce the village, patient sequence, hands, events, and market offers for the same school and Rigour.

• Resume integrity checks safely repair reconstructible legacy state. Save failures are no longer silent: an in-app recovery notice explains the risk and offers Retry Save.

• The Tour Journal now carries replay codes alongside case history, making campaign decisions easier to revisit and share.

• Historical source and safety framing is clearer throughout ingredient and formulation screens, with a direct link to the public-domain Project Gutenberg Culpeper source (eBook 49513) and explicit non-medical boundaries.

• Improved Dynamic Type and VoiceOver labeling in touched campaign screens. No new permissions, network services, tracking, or analytics.

### 2.0.1 — 2026-06-24

This update sharpens the interface: the iPad layout now uses a centered, comfortable reading width instead of stretching edge to edge. iPhone is unchanged; still fully on-device.
