My understanding was that Party's "deck" was constantly being shuffled inbetween cards. This answer from support suggests that the shuffling ends when the first cards are dealt. Anybody know which is right?

not trying to cast aspersions as to the validity of the op's email, but you are correct on this fact.
as has been reported by party many times, the "next" cards are "realtime" generated.
they use a number of factors for the randomization such as "thermal noise," which includes mouse activity, among other things, to ensure that the ensuing cards cannot be known ahead of time, because they aren't even generated until needed.
this prevents a plantepoker type of hack from ever being possible.

It also allows the software to deal the "necessary" cards if needed....
