A Mini App launch on /telegram/ without sign-in data (empty initData) used to
location.replace('/') — bouncing the visitor to the marketing landing. That
destroyed all diagnosability and, on some Android clients that reach the entry
with no initData, simply looked like the app refusing to open.
Replace the bounce with a compact, privacy-safe launch-error screen
(screens/TelegramLaunchError.svelte) that renders a one-screenshot diagnostic
snapshot captured at the moment of failure: SDK/WebApp presence, Telegram
platform/version, whether initData is empty, whether the URL fragment carried
tgWebAppData, the initData field NAMES present/missing (never the signed
values, never an IP), and OS/mobile/browser via User-Agent Client Hints plus
the full User-Agent. A Share button delivers it through the OS share sheet
(clipboard copy on desktop, reusing the GCG no-webview-strand guard); Retry
re-checks in place to recover a late initData without a reload (which would
discard the launch fragment).
This is the instrument to root-cause the Android empty-initData failure, which
is not reproducible in Playwright.
Tests: collectTelegramDiag + shareText/pickTextShare unit tests; the /telegram/
e2e now asserts the diagnostic screen, not a redirect. Docs: ARCHITECTURE.md +
UI_DESIGN.md updated.
On iOS WKWebView (the Telegram Mini App), cancelling the Web Share sheet fell
through to the Blob <a download> fallback. iOS ignores the download attribute,
so clicking the anchor navigated the webview to the blob: URL — replacing the
SPA with the raw GCG file, with no way back (force-quit only).
The share path no longer falls back to a download: Web Share is available on
that platform, so a cancelled or failed share is a no-op and the user can
retry. The Blob download stays the desktop-only path (no Web Share).
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.
