# 2024-12-18 - Fix Combat Skip Logic
## Problem
The user could not "Skip Combat" (Move past Declare Attackers). The button action `DECLARE_ATTACKERS` with 0 attackers was working server-side (resetting priority to AP), but the client UI (`SmartButton`) remained stuck on "Skip Combat". This created a loop where the user clicked, action processed, priority returned, and the UI still asked them to declare attackers.
## Root Cause
The `SmartButton` logic relied solely on `gameState.step === 'declare_attackers'`. It did not differentiate between "Need to Declare" (Start of Step) and "After Declaration / Priority Window" (Middle of Step).
Strict Rules State did not have a flag to indicate if the Turn-Based Action of declaring attackers had already occurred for the current step.
## Solution
1. **Updated `Types`**: Added optional `attackersDeclared` (and `blockersDeclared`) boolean flags to `StrictGameState` (Server + Client).
2. **Updated `RulesEngine`**: In `declareAttackers()`, set `attackersDeclared = true`. In `cleanupStep()`, reset these flags to `false`.
3. **Updated `SmartButton`**: Added a check. If `step === 'declare_attackers'` AND `attackersDeclared` is true, display "Pass (to Blockers)" with `PASS_PRIORITY` action instead of "Skip Combat" / `DECLARE_ATTACKERS`.
## Outcome
When a user clicks "Skip Combat" (declares 0 attackers), the server updates the state flag. The UI then updates to show a "Pass" button, allowing the user to proceed to the next step.
