Purpose

Describe the interactive Create workflow, variant selection, Elo targeting, and deterministic seed behavior.

Requirements

Requirement: Create Uses Variants And Elo

The Create screen SHALL present selectable variant leaves, require a valid target Elo from 0 through 3000, and spawn the selected variant using Elo generation.

Scenario: Generate from one checked variant

• WHEN exactly one variant leaf is checked and the user generates
• THEN PuzzleTea uses that variant, the entered Elo, and the optional seed if supplied

Scenario: Generate from multiple checked variants

• WHEN multiple variant leaves are checked
• THEN PuzzleTea chooses one checked leaf uniformly and disables deterministic seed entry for that intentionally random selection

Requirement: Seeded Create Resume

The Create workflow MUST resume an existing deterministic save when the same seed, game, variant, and Elo identify a prior record.

Scenario: Reuse create seed

• WHEN a single selected variant has a nonblank seed matching an existing deterministic record
• THEN PuzzleTea imports and resumes that record instead of creating a duplicate

Requirement: Global Seed Selection

The --set-seed flow SHALL deterministically select game, legacy seeded mode, name, and puzzle content from a seed string.

Scenario: Launch by global seed

• WHEN the user runs puzzletea new --set-seed <seed>
• THEN PuzzleTea rejects explicit game arguments and resumes or creates the deterministic puzzle for that seed
