Extract the desktop simulator into a reusable headless Maven module, retain the desktop compatibility facade, and provide terminal, random, and zero controllers. Preserve current upstream seed and AI-profile options while fixing direct file-path deck loading. Test Results Summary: - mvn -pl forge-headless -am test: 11 tests passed (3 forge-game, 8 forge-headless), 0 failed - packaged headless assembly successfully - seeded two-game simulation repeated with identical normalized SHA-256 output - random-controller launcher smoke completed with a winner
Give the headless launcher conventional top-level help, readable simulation options and examples, clean terminal help, caller-relative deck paths, and quiet process replacement without shell timing noise. Test Results Summary: - mvn -pl forge-headless -am test: 13 tests passed (3 forge-game, 10 forge-headless), 0 failed - mvn -pl forge-headless -am package -DskipTests: passed - ./headless.sh --help, sim --help, and tui --help: passed

Summary
Forge can now run games without starting the desktop or mobile application. A new
forge-headlessMaven module provides automated AI simulation and interactive terminal gameplay, with a repository-levelheadless.shlauncher.The launcher provides top-level command discovery, command-specific help, examples, conventional exit codes, and deck paths resolved relative to the caller's working directory.
Capabilities
simruns one or more games between normal Forge AI players.tuilets a person play or observe a game from an interactive terminal..dckpaths are accepted.The random controller deliberately handles only its supported legal-action subset and skips spells that require targets. It is intended for benchmarks, not strategic play. Tournament mode continues to use normal Forge AI; random-controller mode cannot be combined with tournaments or AI profiles.
Compatibility
The existing desktop
forge.view.SimulateMatchentry point remains available as a deprecated facade and delegates to the new module. Existing simulation options for seeds, formats, tournaments, timeouts, AI profiles, quiet output, and match size remain available.Validation
mvn -pl forge-headless -am test: 13 tests passed (3forge-game, 10forge-headless), 0 failures.mvn -pl forge-headless -am package -DskipTests: passed and produced the assembled launcher JAR../headless.sh --help,sim --help, andtui --help: passed against the packaged JAR.
