The in-game hint badge re-fetched on entry and, for a game where it was the
player's turn, showed a too-high count that "reset" (e.g. back to 11) — the
wallet hint spent in another game was not reflected.
Root cause: the server sends one hints_remaining = per-game allowance + global
wallet, and the client cached that combined number per game. The wallet is
global, so spending a wallet hint in one game left every other game's cached
count stale (a my-turn game holds the stalest value: the opponent-moved delta
preserves the old number, whereas a game you just moved in re-cached a fresh
one). The backend allowance-then-wallet spend order was already correct.
Fix: split the two. StateView/HintResult gain a trailing wallet_balance field
(the global wallet alone); the client derives the per-game allowance as
hints_remaining - wallet_balance (stable, cacheable) and reads the wallet live
from the profile, refreshing it from every state/hint response. The badge is
allowance + live wallet, so a wallet hint anywhere updates every game at once.

Replace the single "best move" number on the statistics screen with a
full-width per-variant breakdown: the highest-scoring play in each variant
the player has played, drawn as game tiles (a wildcard shows its letter but
no value), with the words and scores right-aligned to shared edges.
- backend: new account_best_move table (PK account_id+variant) keeping the
main word as JSON tiles {letter,value,blank}; captured at game finish in
buildStats (blank flags taken from every placed blank — equivalent to the
final board), upserted in the finish transaction and replaced only by a
strictly higher-scoring play. Guest/honest-AI games still record nothing.

drops the maxWord card and adds the full-width best-move card (catalogue

A vs_ai game is throwaway practice, so its finished history header no longer
offers the 📤 GCG export (an empty slot keeps the comms icon pinned right).
Docs note the AI exclusion; UI_DESIGN also records that confirming a resign
reveals the full board (closes the history drawer, zooms out).
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).
After the player confirms a resign, close the move-history drawer (portrait;
the landscape dock is unaffected) and zoom the board out if it was magnified,
so the resigned game shows its full final board.
A finished honest-AI (vs_ai) game the player left — by resigning or by
abandoning it to the 7-day inactivity timeout (end_reason 'resign'/'timeout')
— no longer appears in that player's own lobby finished list.
The new game.Service.ListForLobby filters ListForAccount for the lobby
endpoint only; the admin console and the account-merge count keep the full
set. The filter keys on the game's end reason, not on which seat left, so it
extends to any player should the robot ever resign.
The ad banner lives inside the grown game header (`.nav.grow`, portrait
game only). That rule carried `flex: 1 1 auto`, so on a short viewport the
flex algorithm shrank the header — clipping the banner (`.ad` is
`overflow:hidden`) — *and* the board's scroll area at the same time. The
banner and the board ended up splitting the vertical squeeze.
Drop the shrink (`flex: 1 0 auto`): the header still grows into spare height
(banner under the title, board pinned to the bottom), but on a short viewport
it holds its natural height and the board's own scroll (`.stage`) absorbs the
whole squeeze. The banner now keeps a constant height.
Portrait-only: in landscape and on every other screen `.nav` is already
`flex: 0 0 auto`, so the banner never shrank there.
Verified in the mock UI (portrait, live banner): at 440px tall the banner
held 30px (was clipped to 14px) while the board scrolled; the tall-viewport
layout is unchanged. Full UI suite green locally (check, 272 unit, build,
bundle-size, 140 e2e).
Visualises the chat read-receipt metrics added with the read-receipt feature
(the dashboard was deferred there per the owner): posted rate by kind, the
unread backlog (chat_unread_messages gauge), and the publish-to-read latency
(chat_read_duration — average by kind plus overall p50/p95). Mirrors the
game-domain dashboard's structure; the file provider auto-discovers it.
A pooled robot substituted into an ordinary (non-AI) game never opens the
chat, so a text message to it would linger unread forever — skewing the unread
count and the publish-to-read metric. Clear its recipient bit at PostMessage
time (robotRecipients via account.IsRobot), so the message is born read. The
human sender never had their own message unread, so this is invisible to them;
a nudge to a robot already self-clears when the robot answers by moving.
Persist per-message read state as a chat_messages.unread_seats bitmask
(migration 00008): a text message seeds every recipient seat's bit, a nudge
only the awaited seat's. A seat's bit clears when the player opens the move
history or chat (POST /games/:id/chat/read, sent only when something is
unread), and a nudge additionally clears when its recipient answers by moving
(a wired game NudgeClearer, dependency-inverted so game keeps off social).
UI shows a per-viewer unread dot in the lobby (next to the opponent) and the
game score bar — the unread_chat game-view flag seeds it from authoritative
REST views, live chat/nudge events raise it. Opening the move history counts
as reading (even without entering chat): the 💬 fade-blinks twice and the
client acks. Admin Messages gains an unread-only filter, a read/unread column,
and a per-message card with the per-seat read breakdown. Observability:
chat_read_duration histogram + chat_unread_messages gauge + social tracing.
Limit a player to 10 active quick games (auto-match + AI); friend games created
by invitation are not counted. At the cap the backend refuses both new-game
entry points — quick enqueue and invitation creation — with 409
game_limit_reached, while accepting an incoming invitation stays allowed, so
friend games are capped from the other end. The lobby disables "New Game" and
shows a low-emphasis notice, driven by a new at_game_limit flag on games.list
(no per-event payload: a turn change does not move the count, and the lobby
already re-fetches games.list on entry and every game event).

The lobby refetched /user/games on every stream event, including the 10s
keep-alive heartbeat, turning it into a 10s poll. That poll's REST view of a
just-committed opponent move could flip a card (and now blink it) seconds before
the matching your_turn event — and its toast — arrived over the slower live
stream, so the new lobby-card blink appeared to lead the toast by 5-7s (variable
with stream delivery; in sync when prompt).
Gate the refetch to real events (kind !== 'heartbeat'): the card, its blink and
the toast now ride the same event (opponent_moved + your_turn are published
together), and the constant 10s full-lobby poll per client is gone.
The "waiting for your move" popup was the nudge (chat.nudge), shown without a
sender name. Resolve the nudger's per-game seat name server-side and carry it on
a new NudgeEvent.sender_name field, so:
- the in-app toast reads "<opponent>: Waiting for your move 🤭" (chat.nudgeBy);
- the out-of-app Telegram push names the sender too (render nudgeBy);
falling back to the plain phrase when the name is absent (RU mirrored). The
your_turn toast already named the opponent and is unchanged.
Lobby: when a card transitions into "your turn" or "finished" while the lobby is
open, its status emoji blinks twice (two 1s fades); the opponent's-turn change
stays in place. Blink state is keyed by game id (SvelteSet + per-id nonce/timer)
so overlapping events animate in isolation; suppressed under reduce-motion.
Toast: a per-message seq re-keys Toast.svelte, so the freshest toast cancels the
previous one and replays its entrance, uniformly on every screen.
Tests: notify.Nudge round-trip + render named/fallback (Go), game.Service.SeatName
(integration), codec/i18n/gamePhase/shouldBlink (UI). Docs (FUNCTIONAL +_ru,
UI_DESIGN) + PLAN TODO-7 (deferred FLIP card-relocation animation) updated.
A handle joining two meaningful words with a dot ("Тихий.Воин", "Hidden.Hunter")
reads as machine-generated — people use "_" there, a dot only rarely. assembleHandle
now picks "_" about nine times in ten and "." only about one in ten for the
separator-joined form; the camelCase and bare-noun forms are unchanged.
Cyrillic adjective+noun handles paired a masculine adjective with any noun, so a
feminine noun read ungrammatically ("Вольный Комета"). Carry masculine + feminine
adjective forms (cyrAdjective) and tag each noun's gender (cyrNoun); cyrillicNick
now renders the adjective in the agreeing form ("Рыжая Комета", "Дикий Волк"), and a
few feminine nouns (Комета/Звезда/Молния/Пантера/Рысь/Буря/Сова/Акула) are added for variety.
The seat display-name snapshot only reached the live-event path (seatNames);
the REST DTO layer still resolved seat names from the account store
(fillSeatNames), so the game screen and lobby list showed the robot's seeded
account name ("Женя") while the your_turn toast showed its per-game name
("Звёздный_Барс2"). Carry the snapshot into gameDTOFromGame and have
fillSeatNames fall back to the account only for a seat with no snapshot (a
pre-snapshot legacy row). Friends and invitations keep account names (the
persistent identity, not a per-game disguise).
Decouple the displayed opponent name from the small pool of durable robot
accounts: the disguised auto-match robot now gets a freshly composed name each
game, stamped on a new game_players.display_name seat snapshot. The snapshot
also captures humans' names, freezing what an opponent sees for the life of a
game (a later rename no longer rewrites past games); readers fall back to the
account's current name for pre-migration rows.
Names come from a wide composed corpus (internal/robot/namevariety.go): Western
locales (EN/DE/ES/IT/FR/PT), native Japanese/Chinese names, a gender-agreed
Russian pool, and human-style handles. Routing keeps Pick's spirit -- a Russian
game draws Cyrillic + <=20% Latin and never a CJK script; an English game the
full corpus -- via robot.PickNamed.
Loosen account.ValidateDisplayName (and the UI mirror) to admit a trailing run
of up to five digits, so "Player2007"-style handles are valid for humans too
and the disguised robot stays indistinguishable.
Migration 00007 adds game_players.display_name (additive, NOT NULL DEFAULT '');
jet regenerated. Docs (ARCHITECTURE 7, FUNCTIONAL + _ru, PLAN, README) updated.
The banner UX evolved across the PR2 polish iterations past what UI_DESIGN
described. Bring the section in line with the shipped behaviour:
- a lone message pulses (fades out and back in) instead of sitting frozen;
- a long message's scroll rewind fades (out → rewind hidden → fade the same
message back in) instead of every-message-only fades;
- the scroll position carries across a navigation (resumeScroll), rather than
restarting at the left;
- the strip reserves a constant line height (invisible spacer + absolute
message layer) so it does not jump while the message is gone during the gap.
ARCHITECTURE §10 already deferred these client-fade details to UI_DESIGN, so
this is the only doc that drifted. Docs-only, no code change.
Two polish fixes (owner feedback):
- Scroll loop: a long message that scrolled to its right edge rewound with a hard
jump (no fade). It now runs the same fade as a message change at each rewind:
fade out at the edge, reset the scroll while hidden, fade the same message back
in, then scroll again.
- Strip height: during the fade gap the message layer is removed, which let the
strip collapse by ~1-2px. An always-present invisible spacer now reserves one
line of height and the message is overlaid absolutely, so the strip height is
constant whether or not the message is showing.
Verified live: opacity sampling shows a full fade-out → gap → fade-in at each
scroll rewind (~every 6s), and the .ad height stays a single constant value
(30.31px) across the whole cycle including the gap. Loop-fade unit-tested.
A single campaign message (e.g. the default campaign's one message) faded in once
on load and then sat frozen — the rotator only ran the fade/advance cycle when
more than one message existed, so with one message there were no further fades.
Drop the `total > 1` guards: every message now runs the full hold → fade-out →
gap → fade-in cycle, so a lone message pulses (the same message fades back in)
and a lone long message fades at each scroll-loop boundary. Multi-message
rotation is unchanged. Verified by opacity sampling (single message pulses
1→0→gap→0→1 without navigation); the single-message test now asserts the pulse.
Per the owner's idea: instead of moving the banner out of the per-screen header
(which would change its position), remember the banner's "life stage" and resume
it on the next screen. The engine already keeps the message + rotation timing;
this adds the scroll offset:
- bannerEngine tracks the in-flight scroll (target, duration, start). On attach,
if a scroll is still running, it computes the current offset and calls the new
host's resumeScroll(fromTx, toPx, remaining) — the view jumps to the carried
offset and continues to the end over the remaining time, instead of restarting
at the left.
- A finished scroll is left at its end; the rotator's own loop then takes over.
Verified: spot-checked in the browser (a long message at offset -785 resumes at
-788 on the next screen, not 0) and unit-tested (attach mid-scroll calls
resumeScroll with a partial offset and the remaining duration).
Two regressions from the previous banner pass:
- Fade (#2): the manual-opacity fade could paint opacity 0 and 1 in one frame and
skip the transition — most visible for a single (default) campaign message,
whose only fade is the first show. Revert the fade to Svelte transition:fade
(which forces the from-state, so even the first/only message fades), keeping it
on its own {#if} layer independent of the scroll. A freshly-mounted view onto a
running cycle still renders the live message instantly (inFade duration 0 once),
so navigation does not replay the fade. Verified by opacity sampling: advances
fade, navigation stays at opacity 1.
- Profile update (#3): the banner block was attached only to GET /profile, so a
profile.update (e.g. a language switch) returned a profile without it and the
banner vanished until reload. A shared profileResponse() now attaches the banner
to GET, PUT and the link/merge profile responses. Regression test added
(TestBannerSurvivesProfileUpdate).
Still open: the scroll position is not preserved across navigation (the view
remounts); discussed separately.
The previous engine kept the scheduler running but the view re-`show()`-ed the
current message on every (re)mount, replaying the fade on each navigation — which
looked like the cycle restarting (especially for a single message). Now:
- A mounted AdBanner reads the engine's live message (bannerCurrent) and renders
it immediately, with no fade; attach no longer re-shows. Only a real advance
fades. Verified: opacity stays 1.0 across a navigation, message preserved.
- The fade is manual opacity on a .fadewrap layer (not transition:fade), kept
independent of the scroll (inner track transform), so a long message still
fades at both ends and a {#key} remount cannot force an intro fade.
- A viewport size change (portrait↔landscape) re-measures the current message
(remeasureBanner on resize/orientationchange, debounced) so the scroll
re-evaluates for the new width — the owner accepts the restart on resize.
Rotator gains restart(); engine gains bannerCurrent()/remeasureBanner().
Engine continuity + remeasure unit-tested.
Banner UX refinements (owner feedback):
- Position: render the banner inside Header (under the title) instead of in
Screen, so it sits in the same place on every screen. In the game the grown
nav's spare height now falls below the banner (banner under title, board
pinned to the bottom) — it no longer jumps to the game area.
- Continuity: move the rotation into a persistent module engine
(lib/bannerEngine) — the scheduler + timer live outside the components, so a
navigation (which remounts the view) continues the cycle instead of restarting
it. Each AdBanner only attaches as the DOM host and resyncs to the live message.
- Fades: a long, scrolling message now fades at both ends. The fade is a
{#if} transition:fade layer, independent of the scroll (the inner track's
transform), so the two no longer interfere.
Verified live (mock + Playwright): same position in lobby and game; the cycle
continues across lobby↔game; opacity sampling shows fade-out + fade-in for the
long message. Engine continuity unit-tested.
Admin campaign editor polish:
- move the link-formatting help aside to the top of the Messages section,
beside the intro note (~40% width), so it no longer drops below and stretches
the form fields.
- make the English/Russian message fields 3-row, vertically resizable textareas
(was single-line inputs) so long text wraps instead of scrolling off to the
right. The strip is white-space:nowrap, so a stray newline collapses to a space
on display.
On the campaign detail page, beside the "Add message" form, a static aside
explains the message markdown: plain text is escaped, `[text](url)` becomes a
link, and only http(s)/root-relative targets are linkified (others show as
plain text). New .form-help (flex row) + .help (muted aside) console styles;
wraps below the form on a narrow viewport.
Consume the server-driven banner block (PR1) in the UI and retire the gate.
- banner.ts: createScheduler — a smooth weighted round-robin over campaigns (each
appears its weight share per cycle, evenly interleaved) with round-robin over a
campaign's messages; the rotator drives fade-in -> hold/scroll -> fade-out -> gap
-> fade-in, a lone message stays put, reduce-motion swaps instantly without scroll.
- model.ts/codec.ts: Profile.banner (Banner/BannerCampaign/BannerTimings) decoded
from the fbs block.
- Screen.svelte: drop the compile-time SHOW_AD_BANNER; render AdBanner from
app.profile.banner (campaigns + timings + reduceMotion).
- AdBanner.svelte: opacity-driven fades + scroll host; the rotator is recreated when
the campaigns/timings change (a `banner` notify re-fetch swaps them in place).
- app.svelte.ts: on the `notify` `banner` sub-kind, refreshProfile() so the banner
shows/hides in place.
- tests: scheduler distribution + round-robin, the fade sequence, single-message,
reduce-motion, stop(); codec banner decode. UI_DESIGN.md + trackers updated.
