Following the in-game bar, the Connecting indicator now also visually disables the
other proactive (server-sending) controls while offline: chat send + nudge, profile
save / link email|telegram / merge-confirm, friends (redeem, get-code, accept/decline,
unfriend, block, unblock), New Game (auto-match variant + send-invitation) and the
lobby hide ❌. Purely local controls (board/rack/reset, menus, navigation, settings,
copy-code) stay live. Each reads the global connection.online signal; full e2e + check
green.
Owner review: the '>' on an active game row should be a real tap target that opens
the game, like the rest of the row — not inert. The chevron now navigates (kept out
of the tab order / a11y tree since the row's main button already does the same), and
active-row swipes no longer suppress the tap. Adds an e2e for the chevron navigation.
A player can remove a finished game from their own 'my games' list. The action is
per-account, finished-only and irreversible (the game stays for the other players;
there is no un-hide).
- backend: migration 00012 game_hidden(account_id, game_id); store HideGame +
hiddenGameIDs + ListGamesForAccount filtering; service HideGame (seat + finished
checks, reusing ErrNotAPlayer / ErrGameActive); POST /api/v1/user/games/:id/hide.
- gateway: game.hide edge op (reuses GameActionRequest -> Ack) + backendclient.HideGame.
- ui: finished rows reveal a delete via swipe-left (touch) or a kebab tap (desktop),
active rows get an inert chevron for icon alignment; optimistic removal + lobby-cache
sync; mock + transport + client wiring; lobby.hideGame label (en/ru).
- tests: integration (active->ErrGameActive, outsider->ErrNotAPlayer, per-account,
idempotent), gateway transcode round-trip, mock e2e (kebab -> delete); hardened a
pre-existing chat-screen .back transition flake surfaced by the new test's timing.
- docs: ARCHITECTURE persistence list, FUNCTIONAL (+ _ru) lobby story, PLAN tracker.
Lobby: group the my-games list into your-turn / opponent-turn / finished
(empty sections hidden), ordered by last activity (your-turn oldest-first,
the other two newest-first), as a compact line-separated list. gameDTO and
FB GameView gain last_activity_unix (turn start while active, finish time
once finished); a pure lib/lobbysort.ts holds the grouping/ordering.
Friends: the in-game 'add to friends' item is now server-derived via a new
GET /user/friends/outgoing (+ friends.outgoing op), returning addressees with
a pending OR declined request (both read as 'request sent'), so it is correct
across reloads; it shows a disabled '✓ in friends' once accepted. It
live-updates when the opponent answers: RespondFriendRequest now publishes
friend_added (accept) / friend_declined (new notify sub-kind, decline) to the
original requester, whose open game re-derives its friend state.
Tests: lobbysort unit test; gateway outgoing + last_activity transcode tests;
backend integration ListOutgoingRequests + respond-publishes-to-requester;
e2e updated for the new lobby section labels + a non-friend active opponent.

Each auto-match variant is now a lobby-style plaque: the display name with a flag on the
right (🇺🇸 / 🇷🇺; Erudit uses a bundled minimalist USSR flag SVG) and a one-line rules
summary below — bag size, the ё rule, and bonus differences, sourced from the engine
rulesets (Scrabble 100 · Скрэббл 104, ё a letter · Эрудит 131, ё=е, no centre ×2, +15).
The move-time limit (24h auto-match clock) is shown under the buttons. e2e locks it.
(Multiple-words-per-move is the same for every variant, so it is described in About/landing
rather than repeated on each button.)
- About screen: prominent localized title (Scrabble / Эрудит (Скрэббл)), a rules link
(en/ru Wikipedia), and the Random-game / Game-with-friends sections; copy lives in a
shared aboutContent module (the landing will reuse it). The random-game move limit
inlines the 24h auto-match clock.
- App version: Vite define __APP_VERSION__ from VITE_APP_VERSION (default 'dev'), wired as
a Docker build-arg sourced from `git describe --tags --always` in the deploy step — no
manual version bumps. The fallback keeps a plain/local build working.
- Profile: drop the hint-balance line.
- Board: no mobile tap flash on a cell tap (-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent),
matching the web click; the only intentional cell animation stays the last-word flash.
- Variant names keyed by the game's alphabet, not the UI language: english -> Scrabble
always, russian_scrabble -> Скрэббл always (unlocalized, never collide), erudit localized.
- Chat/nudge are mutually exclusive by turn: the message field + Send show on your turn,
the nudge replaces them on the opponent's turn; while the nudge cooldown is active the
button is disabled with a grey 'awaiting reply' caption to its left.
- Resign on the opponent's turn: engine ResignSeat(seat) resigns a specific seat
(not just toMove); game.Resign bypasses the turn check and forfeits the actor's seat.
- Quick-match cancel was a UI no-op (only stopped polling): add the full path
(REST /lobby/cancel -> gateway lobby.cancel -> client) and clear the matchmaker's
pending result on Cancel, so a cancelled search is dequeued (no 'already queued', no
later robot-substituted game). NewGame dequeues on cancel and on abandon.
- Lobby win/loss: result.ts ranked by score, so a 0-0 resignation read as a win.
The winner now takes rank 1 and the viewer is placed from rank 2 — matching the
game-detail screen.
- Friend request to a robot: robots no longer block requests; the request stays
pending and expires (friendRequestTTL), mirroring a human who ignores it.
- Nudge cooldown: ErrNudgeTooSoon now maps to a distinct nudge_too_soon code with a
correct message; the chat nudge button disables during the hourly cooldown; the
nudge note reads 'Waiting for your move!' (button keeps the Nudge action label).
Tests: engine/service off-turn resign, matchmaker cancel-clears-result, friend-to-robot
inttest, result.ts 0-0 resignation, nudge_too_soon mapping.
Add a 'Grid lines' preference (default off): when off the board drops the 1px grid
gaps for a gapless checkerboard (plain cells alternate shades; tiles get rounded
corners and a soft right-side shadow so adjacent gapless tiles still read apart),
saving ~14px of width. When on, the classic lined grid returns. Persisted with the
other board-style prefs; wired through Board's new lines prop. e2e locks the default
and the toggle.
- Board drag now auto-zooms toward a cell after holding the tile over it ~1s (#3).
- Profile is inline-editable: drop the Edit/Cancel toggle, form is always shown
for durable accounts; hint balance stays read-only; re-populate after link/merge (#5).
- A pending tile recalls by double-tap (same cell) or by dragging it back onto the
rack (unzoomed board); a single tap no longer recalls (#10).
- e2e: lock double-tap recall + single-tap no-op; drop the removed Edit-profile click.
- #4 bag label: '{n} in the bag' / 'Bag is empty' (was 'Bag {n}')
- #6 allow a single trailing dot in display names (backend + UI regex + tests)
- #1 double-tap zooms toward the tapped cell, not the top-left
- #8 shuffle fires a short multi-pulse haptic
- #11 highlighted/flashing tiles darken their bottom edge too (shadow joins the flash)
- #13 toast slides up from the bottom and fades out
- #7 hide the logout button (kept wired behind `hidden`)
- #16 admin game seats: left-align numeric columns, clarify the 'Hints used' header
- #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
Service-agnostic refinement of the owner's idea: the sign-in service returns a
set of supported game languages with the user identity, and the lobby gates the
New Game variant choice by it (en -> English; ru -> Russian + Эрудит).
- Connector hosts two bots in one container (one per service language, each its
own token + game channel; the same telegram_id spans both). ValidateInitData
tries each token and returns the validating bot's service_language +
supported_languages. Per-language config (TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN_EN/_RU, channels).
- supported_languages rides the Session (fbs, session-scoped, not persisted); the
UI offers only the matching variants on New Game — gating only the START of a
new game (auto-match + friend invite), not accept/open/play; backend does not
enforce.
- service_language persisted (accounts.service_language, migration 00010, written
every login, last-login-wins) and routes the user-facing Notify push back
through the right bot (push-target coalesces with preferred_language).
- Admin SendToUser/SendToGameChannel gain an operator-chosen language selector in
the console (unrelated to ValidateInitData).
- Non-Telegram logins carry the gateway default set
(GATEWAY_DEFAULT_SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES, all variants).
Wire (committed regen): ValidateInitDataResponse +service_language
+supported_languages; Session +supported_languages; SendToUser/SendToGameChannel
+language. Docs (ARCHITECTURE/FUNCTIONAL/_ru/READMEs) + PLAN updated; stage marked done.
New platform/telegram connector (own container, bot token only there):
- go-telegram/bot long-poll loop: /start deep-links + Mini App launch button.
- gRPC API pkg/proto/telegram/v1 (Telegram service): ValidateInitData, Notify
(renders a localized message + deep-link button), SendToUser/SendToGameChannel
(admin, wired in Stage 10). Generic methods are platform-agnostic (external_id).
- Bot API base override for Telegram's test environment; Dockerfile + compose
(VPN sidecar, no public ingress); README.
Gateway:
- initData validation relocated from the gateway into the connector; the gateway
calls ValidateInitData over gRPC (GATEWAY_CONNECTOR_ADDR), drops the bot token,
and deletes internal/auth.
- Out-of-app push: runPushPump routes events whose recipient has no live in-app
stream to connector.Notify, gated by /internal/push-target + the in-app-only
flag (race-free de-dup); HasSubscribers added to the push hub.
Backend:
- Migration 00007 accounts.notifications_in_app_only (default true) + jetgen.
- ProvisionTelegram seeds a new account's language/display name from the launch
fields; IdentityExternalID reverse lookup; /internal/push-target handler.
UI:
- Telegram Mini App launch: detect initData, apply themeParams, authTelegram,
route the deep-link start_param (g/i/f); /telegram/ guard redirects outside
Telegram. Vite relative base + telegram-web-app.js. In-app-only profile toggle;
share-to-Telegram link for a friend code. Vitest + Playwright coverage.
Wire/docs/CI: fbs Profile/UpdateProfileRequest gain notifications_in_app_only
(Go + TS); go.work uses ./platform/telegram; go-unit.yaml covers it; PLAN,
ARCHITECTURE, FUNCTIONAL (+ru), UI_DESIGN, READMEs updated.
Third owner-review pass (iPhone):
- Modals (and the chat) size their backdrop to window.visualViewport, so they stay
fully above the software keyboard (dvh alone left the sheet partly behind it).
- On the owner's call, every profile / new-game picker is a native <select> for
consistent cross-platform behaviour: the away window returns to hour + 10-minute
selects (which also avoids the iOS time-wheel "clear" button), alongside the offset
timezone and the game-type / move-time / hints selects. Native time/wheel inputs
render differently per OS and cannot be forced to match.
- New-game "play with friends" has no preselected game type — an explicit, required
pick (empty placeholder); Send invitation stays disabled until both a type and a
friend are chosen. A smart default (from play history / language) is TODO-6.
Second owner-review pass (iPhone simulator):
- Chat (and the modal) are sized in dvh so they shrink above the software keyboard,
keeping the start of the conversation on screen instead of pushed off the top.
- The profile away window returns to a native <input type="time" step="600"> (the iOS
wheel with 10-minute steps) instead of separate dropdowns; the timezone stays a
native offset <select>.
- A finished game reserves the rack's height (min-height) so the footer no longer
collapses when the final rack is empty — no layout jump versus an active game.
- New-game "play with friends" is made compact: a searchable, bounded-scroll friend
list, the game-type / move-time / hints controls as native selects in one row
(labels above), and Send invitation pinned at the bottom — it scales to many friends.
Owner-review follow-up on the Stage 8 branch:
- Friend code is copyable (📋 + toast). The lobby notification badge is fixed —
it had inherited the hamburger-bar style — into a proper round count dot.
- Safari: min-width:0 on flex text inputs (friend code, profile, chat) so they
shrink instead of pushing the adjacent button off-screen.
- Profile editing is validated on both the UI and the backend: display-name format
(letters joined by single space/./_ separators, no leading/trailing/adjacent
separators, <=32 runes), a UTC-offset timezone picker (account.ResolveZone parses
±HH:MM or a legacy IANA name), a 10-minute away grid capped at 12h (wrap-aware),
and email format; Save is disabled and invalid fields red-bordered until valid.
Language stays in Settings.
- In a game, an "add to friends" menu item flips to a disabled "request sent"; chat
send/nudge became ⬆️/🛎️ icon buttons.
- A finished game drops its last-word highlight, hides Check word / Drop game,
disables zoom, and draws an inert (greyed) footer instead of hiding it.
Tests: account validators (name/away/zone), UI profileValidation, e2e for the
finished-game footer/menu and the copy control. Docs (PLAN, ARCHITECTURE,
FUNCTIONAL +ru, UI_DESIGN) updated for the display-name rule, UTC-offset timezone
and the 12h away window.
Wire the deferred Stage 7 surfaces end-to-end (UI -> gateway transcode ->
backend REST -> existing domain services): friends (incl. one-time friend
codes), per-user blocks, friend-game invitations, profile editing + email
binding, the statistics screen, and the in-game history + GCG export.
Friends gain two add paths (interview decision, a deliberate plan change):
one-time 6-digit codes (friend_codes table, 12h TTL, single-use, rate-limited
redeem); and play-gated requests (shared game required) where an explicit
decline is permanent, an ignored request lapses after 30 days, and a code
bypasses a decline. Migration 00006 widens friendships_status_chk and adds
friend_codes.
Lobby notification badge is poll + push: a new generic `notify` event drives
it live; the client polls on open/focus. Language stays a single Settings
control that writes through to the durable account's preferred_language. GCG
export is finished-only (game.ErrGameActive) and shares/downloads the .gcg file.
Tests: backend unit + inttest (friend gate/decline/code, ListInvitations,
GetStats, GCG gate), gateway transcode round-trips + notify constructor, UI
vitest (codecs, win-rate, share choice) + Playwright social specs. Docs: PLAN
(Stage 8 done + refinements + TODO-5), ARCHITECTURE, FUNCTIONAL(+ru), UI_DESIGN,
TESTING, module READMEs.
