New Game's quick game gains an explicit opponent selector — 🤖 AI (default)
or 👤 Random player. AI starts a game seated with a pooled robot that joins
and moves at once: no per-move timeout (a 7-day inactivity loss reusing the
turn-timeout sweeper), chat/nudge disabled, no statistics, the opponent shown
as 🤖 everywhere. The random path (disguised robot) is unchanged.
Driven by one game flag (games.vs_ai), set only on AI-started games so the
disguised path is never revealed; Matchmaker.StartVsAI seats the robot
directly (no open pool); the robot replies event-driven via the game service's
after-commit/after-create hook. Wire: vs_ai on EnqueueRequest + GameView.
Enforce one chat message per turn on both ends. The backend rejects a
second message in the same turn (ErrChatAlreadySentThisTurn -> 409
chat_already_sent), keyed on the move-driven turn start (turn_started_at).
The UI derives "already wrote this turn" from the message list against
GameView.lastActivityUnix (no counter, survives reopening, resets on turn
change), hides the field behind a short caption once the limit is reached,
and now reloads the game state on turn/game-state events so the toggle and
the limit follow the live game. Enter is gated on !busy to avoid a
double-send in the in-flight window.
Backend: new game.TurnStartedAt; social GameReader gains it; PostMessage
enforces the limit reusing lastMessageAt. UI: new lib/chatlimit.ts pure
logic + unit tests; Chat/ChatScreen wiring; chat.sentThisTurn and
error.chat_already_sent i18n (en/ru); extended chat e2e. Docs: FUNCTIONAL
(+ru), ARCHITECTURE, UI_DESIGN.
Two owner-reported defects from a live contour game.
A. Frequency: the robot's proactive nudge fired hourly for 12h+ (a 12h idle threshold
then the 1h cooldown, uncapped). Replaced with a lengthening, randomized schedule
(proactiveNudgeGap): the first nudge ~60-90 min into the human's turn, each later gap
growing toward 1-6h (uniform sample in [60min, ceil], ceil ramping 90min->6h over 12h
of idle, measured from the previous nudge), so a long wait gets a handful of
increasingly-spaced reminders instead of a stream.
B. Language: out-of-app push routed by the recipient's GLOBAL service_language
(last-login-wins), so after re-logging via the RU bot an English game's nudges came
from the RU bot. Now a game push (your_turn, game_over, nudge, match_found) carries
the game's own language (engine.Variant.Language) on push.Event, and the gateway
routes by it (falling back to service_language for non-game pushes). The New-Game
variant-gating guarantees the game's bot is one the player has started, so delivery is
never blocked.
Tests: proactiveNudgeGap unit + retimed TestRobotProactiveNudge; TestVariantLanguage;
emit your_turn/game_over language; TestNudgeRoutedByGameLanguage integration. Docs:
ARCHITECTURE (§7 nudge, §10/§13 routing), FUNCTIONAL (+ _ru), PLAN tracker.
The hourly nudge cooldown now clears as soon as the sender has moved or posted a chat
since their last nudge — engagement lifts the 'don't spam' limit. Backend: Nudge checks
game.LastMoveAt + the sender's last non-nudge chat against the last nudge time
(GameReader gains LastMoveAt). UI: nudgeOnCooldown mirrors it — a chat reset is read from
the message list, a move is tracked client-side (lastActedAt on commit/pass/exchange; the
backend stays authoritative across a reload). Integration test covers the reset.
PostMessage now rejects a chat sent on a finished game or when it is not the sender's
turn (ErrChatNotYourTurn -> 409 chat_not_your_turn), matching the UI where the message
field is hidden off-turn and only the nudge shows. Existing chat tests post on the
to-move seat and are unaffected; adds an off-turn-rejection integration test + the dto
mapping case + the UI error message.
Engine: multi-player drop-out-and-continue with a per-game tile disposition (remove default / return), resigned seats skipped and excluded from the win, leaver rack never revealed; 2-player behaviour unchanged.
New domains (service/store, no HTTP yet): internal/social (friend request/accept graph, per-user blocks, per-game chat with nudge as a message kind, content filter via mvdan.cc/xurls/v2 + leet/separator normaliser + phone heuristic) and internal/lobby (in-memory variant-keyed matchmaking pool, friend-game invitations invite->accept with lazy 7-day expiry). account gains profile editing and the email confirm-code flow (Mailer seam: SMTP or log mailer).
Migration 00003_social.sql + regenerated jet. main wires the new services into the server (accessors for the Stage 6 handlers); robot substitution stays in Stage 5, REST/stream/push in Stage 6/8. Docs (PLAN, ARCHITECTURE, FUNCTIONAL+ru, TESTING, README) updated.
