fix(client): let a face-down marker request pass the empty-name guard (#7549)

[cuinhellcat]

Fixes #7549.

The #7535 marker request deliberately carries no card name and no oracle id — only tokenImageRef names the printing (CardImage.tsx, ArtCropCard.tsx). useCardImage short-circuited on exactly that shape — in the effect guard AND the first-render snapshot — so fetchTokenImageByRef was unreachable and every face-down permanent fell back to the generic card back. The merged marker feature never worked in the live client.

Both guards now let a present tokenImageRef through (the effect reads the stable identity already in its dependency array).

Regression: exercises the REAL hook — service layer stubbed at fetch, hook logic live. The shipped component tests stubbed the hook itself, which is how a dead feature stayed green; only a real-hook row can hold this line. Red-first verified: the row fails on the pre-fix guards (src stays null), passes with them widened.

The marker art data was present and correct all along — scryfall-token-images.json carries all three oracle keys (morph, manifest, a mysterious creature) with usable normal/art_crop URLs.

Found by live playtest (the human half of this account).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

useCardImage now validates tokenImageRef before resolving images when cardName and oracleId are empty. Tests cover valid morph token resolution and empty-reference rejection.

Changes

Token image loading

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Token reference validation and loading client/src/hooks/useCardImage.ts, client/src/hooks/__tests__/useCardImage.test.tsx	The hook accepts references with a printing ID or oracle ID, applies the check to asynchronous and synchronous guards, tracks the validated reference, and tests valid and empty references.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b7f86

This localized change allows face-down marker images to load while adding regression coverage; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Deferred by maintainer intake policy — not ignored.

This current head (1f4c55cf82dff3162e103ce80d57a991d7b3a2a2) was triaged as a frontend-only change (client/src/hooks/__tests__/useCardImage.test.tsx, client/src/hooks/useCardImage.ts) by cuinhellcat. The local frontend-review allowlist does not include this author, so this route does not perform an implementation-diff review or approve the PR.

A maintainer must explicitly take this PR or add a local frontend-review exception before it can receive substantive review. The defer label is a routing marker only, not a verdict on the change.

[matthewevans]

Approved: current-head regression covers the real hook path for oracle-only marker refs and the all-empty-ref guard.
