Board notes 5 details
Layout
The 9x9 opening has green across the upper center, mauve in the upper-right pockets, pink along the left, orange at r2c2-r3c2, brown at the upper-right center, light-green at r5c8-r5c9, yellow through the lower-left, blue-gray in the lower-right, and teal across the bottom.
Goal
Place nine cats in the verified source order r5c9, r1c8, r3c6, r2c2, r6c1, r7c4, r8c7, r9c5, and r4c3, using each territory once.
Opening
The first decoded frame has no seeded cat and no opening X. The first accepted r5c9 placement starts the white X propagation; later accepted cells add row, column, territory, and adjacent-cell exclusions.
Danger Zone
Red r3c7 is a failed brown probe before r3c6, and red r4c1 is a failed pink probe before r6c1. Neither is a propagated white X.
Mechanics
This is an unseeded nine-cat 9x9 board with two visible red probes; the final capture shows Excellent, nine cats, and the one-heart remaining HUD state.
