+
+No package rule counts a book's rows or blocks any more: a threshold like
+"four blocks or fewer" or "12 rows or more" only holds for the content it was
+measured on, so it belongs in that book's own sheet.
+
+### Removed
+
+- **The 1.7.1 long-choose-table rule** (`.dc-section-choose > table:has(> tbody
+  > tr:nth-child(12))`). Tables are kept whole again, as in 1.7.0. A book with a
+  table taller than the page under its heading lets that one split from its own
+  sheet, e.g. `.dc-flaws > table { break-inside: auto; }` for the Field Guide's
+  Flaw table.
+- **The panel break rules that counted blocks** (`components/section.css`,
+  "Where a panel may break"): a panel of four blocks or fewer kept whole, and a
+  panel of five or more keeping its 2nd block with its 3rd and its last block
+  with the one above. A panel now splits where the page ends; its heading still
+  stays with the block under it, and text still keeps 3 orphans and 3 widows.
+  A book that wants the 1.7.1 behaviour copies the three rules into its own
+  sheet; the design guide does (`design-guide/styles/guide.css` §7).
+
+### Changed
+
+- **A skill card's opening** is written `:first-child, :first-child + *`
+  instead of `:nth-child(-n+2)`. Same rule: the flavor line and the block
+  after it stay with what follows.
+
+## [1.7.1] - 2026-10-15
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **A long table of choices splits between rows.** A table of 12 rows or more
+  in a `choose` section (`@flaws`, `@ideals`, `@section choose`) may now break
+  between rows; each row is a whole option and the header repeats. At the 10pt
+  floor the Field Guide's 19-row Flaw table no longer fit under its heading,
+  so the whole table jumped to the next page, left the opening page empty and
+  pushed the section's last two lines onto a third page. Shorter tables, and
+  tables outside `choose` sections, still stay whole.

 /* ── Where a panel may break ────────────────────────────────────────────────
-   A panel is a heading bar and a few blocks. Left alone it splits wherever the
-   page ends, and the split leaves a heading bar with one line under it at a
-   page foot, or a two-line tail alone at the top of the next page (the stubs a
-   reader notices first). Three rules keep the splits clean; none needs a class,
-   and `.dc-avoid-split` / `--dc-section-break-inside` still win (a book's own
-   token, a class on the panel).
-
-   1. A SHORT panel stays whole. Four blocks or fewer (the heading bar counts)
-      is a third of a page at most, so it moves to the next page rather than
-      splitting 3 + 1. One with a column run or a table in it is left alone: it
-      is the tall kind, and keeping it whole leaves the page before it empty.
-   2. A LONG panel (five blocks or more) never opens with its heading and a single
-      block: the second block stays with the third (the heading bar already stays
-      with the second), so a panel does not start at a page foot with a bar and
-      one line.
-   3. A long panel never ends with one block alone: its last block stays with the
-      block above it, so a continuation is never a lone paragraph. (Not for a
-      heading: `break-after: avoid` on headings is core's.)
+   A panel splits wherever the page ends; its heading bar stays with the block
+   under it (`break-after: avoid` on headings is core's). Which panels a book

    Text in a panel or a callout keeps 3 orphans and 3 widows (the body's are 2): at 2
    Chromium still splits a three-line paragraph 2 + 1, and the one-line tail opens
    the next page. At 3 a paragraph of five lines or fewer moves whole. */
