- #6 align the UI variant id to the backend canonical 'russian_scrabble' (type, variants, Lobby, mock, tests) — fixes the New->Russian 400
- #11/#12 inside Telegram force the colour scheme from WebApp.colorScheme (over OS prefers-color-scheme, fixing the Telegram Desktop breakage) and hide the theme switcher
- #14/#15 nav bar takes Telegram's bg; announcement banner gets a dedicated subtle --ad-bg accent token
- #16 suppress the reconnect banner while backgrounded and silently reconnect the live stream on return to the foreground
- #17 hint zoom scrolls to the placement's bounding box, not the top-left
- #19/#20 players plaque: active seat raised with side shadows, others sunk; tap toggles history
- #21/#23 history: scrollbar-gutter:stable (no word jitter); fixed-height drawer pins the bottom shadow to the board
- #3 (UI) disable nudge on the player's own turn
- #18a directional screen slide transitions (forward in from the right, back reveals the lobby)
- #13 per-game in-memory cache: instant render on re-entry + background refresh
- e2e: openGame waits for the slide transition to settle
Live play now exchanges per-variant alphabet indices instead of concrete
letters (rack out; submit-play, evaluate, exchange, word-check in). The client
caches each variant's (index, letter, value) table behind
StateRequest.include_alphabet and renders the rack and blank chooser from it,
dropping the hardcoded value/alphabet tables. History, the durable journal and
GCG stay decoded concrete characters (ARCHITECTURE §9.1, unchanged).
- pkg/fbs: new AlphabetEntry + PlayTile; StateView.rack -> [ubyte] + alphabet;
StateRequest.include_alphabet; SubmitPlay/Eval tiles -> [PlayTile];
Exchange tiles + CheckWord word -> [ubyte] (committed Go + TS regenerated).
- engine: AlphabetTable + a cached per-variant codec (LetterForIndex/EncodeRack/
DecodeTiles/DecodeWord) + BlankIndex sentinel; Go parity test.
- backend server edge maps index<->letter (new thin game.Service.GameVariant);
game.Service domain methods, engine.Game and the robot keep one letter-based
play path. The gateway forwards indices verbatim (no alphabet table).
- ui: lib/alphabet.ts in-memory cache; codec encodes/decodes indices; premiums.ts
is geometry-only; the mock seeds a fixture table; the UI normalises display to
upper case (codec + cache), leaving placement/board/checkword unchanged.
Parity moved to the Go engine.AlphabetTable test; premiums.ts loses its value
tables. Discharges TODO-4.
