# JUGGERNAUT Fuel beta status

Updated November 11, 2026. This page describes implementation and verification status.

Implemented locally: NOMAD-04/DUNE starter, Fuel catalog and mastery gates, PvE workshop, three-bout AI cups, public 1v1 matchmaking, account snapshots, SQL transactions/RLS/receipts, legacy archive, browser integration and deployment configuration.

The online beta uses the Cloudflare Arena Worker and Supabase. Public matchmaking widens the compatible build range over 30 seconds, then deploys an AI opponent with equivalent equipment if a room is available. Human PvP awards no Fuel or XP. AI fallback uses standard verified PvE rules. Local bot modes, practice and test drives award no verified Fuel or XP. The Wrangler demo stores its own local test progress.

Fuel is an earned, non-transferable gameplay currency. It has no cash-out or token conversion. Gameplay creates no right to any future token or airdrop. Operators are cosmetic. PvE workshop upgrades are disabled in PvP. Items require ownership in competitive play.

Local verification passed 291 automated tests, native PostgreSQL concurrency/restart checks, typecheck, a frontend build and a Worker bundle dry-run. Wrangler and desktop Chromium checks covered human pairing, cancellation, reconnect, ready timeout and AI fallback. Human competitive balance still requires playtesting.

Desktop release gates include hosted persistence and recovery, free-tier capacity, hosted authentication, two-network PvP and outside playtesters. Collection pacing and human/cross-loadout balance remain playtest targets. Mobile is deferred. Matchmaking is currently verified in the local demo.
