The Erudit variant's blank is the "звёздочка", so render it with a star.
An empty rack blank (and its drag ghost) shows ✻ centred; a placed blank
keeps its designated letter and carries ✻ where the (absent) point value
sits — on the board and in the Stats best-move tiles. The Scrabble variants
are unchanged. Gated by usesStarBlank() in lib/variants.ts.
- Lobby friend-invitation card: icon-only checkmark/cross actions stacked in a
min-width right column; the middle column (From <name> + flag + variant rules,
like New Game) grows and wraps. The cross now opens a decline-confirmation modal
(mirroring the in-game resign confirm) instead of declining on first tap.
- New Game with a friend: a lone offered variant is pre-selected and its picker
disabled (nothing else to choose); relabel 'Тип игры' -> 'Вариант' and
'Подсказок на игрока' -> 'Подсказки'.
- Quick game: pin the Start button to the bottom of the screen, mirroring the
friend-game Send-invitation button.
Inside Telegram, a failed initData authentication (e.g. the backend down
during a deploy) dropped the user onto the web login screen — the /app/
experience, which has no place inside the Mini App. bootstrap now retries the
launch a few times in silence and then renders a dedicated boot-error screen
with a Retry button (new BootError.svelte, app.bootError), never falling back
to the web sign-in. A blocked account is still terminal and goes straight to
the blocked screen.
The profile "Link an account" section (email + Telegram link) is hidden while
sign-in is provider-only; the anonymous /app/ guest whose upgrade path this is
comes later. The flow is kept wired (`hidden` on .emailbox) and its two e2e
specs are skipped, both to be re-enabled together.
Adds i18n boot.* copy (en/ru), a mock authTelegram failure hook plus an e2e
covering the retry screen, and bakes both behaviours into FUNCTIONAL(.md/_ru).
- Bake the final default-allow + mute-the-ineligible strategy into
docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/FUNCTIONAL.md (+_ru), platform/telegram/README.md,
the deploy compose comment and the PRERELEASE tracker. The live test proved a
per-user grant cannot exceed a deny-by-default group (Telegram intersects the
chat default with the per-user permission), so the chat allows sending by
default and the bot restricts the ineligible instead of granting the eligible.
- Lower the per-event chat_member trace and eligibility evaluation to Debug;
keep the actual mute/unmute actions, the startup self-check and warnings at
Info, so prod logs only what the bot did.
- Update game.searchingForOpponent (Searching -> Waiting for opponent / Поиск ->
Ждём соперника) and the quickmatch e2e assertions to match.
The dismiss check fired at the instant a word finished laying, so a word
was never held: ЭРУДИТ fell straight into the lobby (too fast) and
ЗАГРУЗКА got no readable pause. The pause was a *leading* gap before the
next word, not a hold after the current one.
Move the hold to after each word and run the check after it: every word
(ЭРУДИТ included) now stays up for PAUSE_MS before the splash either
dismisses or lays the next word. prefixMs = WORD_MS + PAUSE_MS,
cycleMs = 2*(WORD_MS + PAUSE_MS).
On a cold app open the lobby's game list arrives over the network; on a
slow link the empty "no games yet" line flashed before the games loaded.
Add a full-screen tile splash that lays a Scrabble crossword of ЭРУДИТ /
ЗАГРУЗКА / ОЖИДАНИЕ (Эрудит point values, hardcoded since the alphabet
table is not cached at boot) until the lobby's first load settles, then
removes itself to reveal the populated list.
- lib/splash.ts: pure layout + reveal schedule (unit-tested).
- components/Splash.svelte: App-level overlay; per-tile drop-in; loops
ЗАГРУЗКА → ОЖИДАНИЕ until ready, dismisses on a word boundary. Static
ЭРУДИТ under reduced motion / the mock build.
- app state: lobbyReady (set by Lobby on first settle) + splashDone,
reset on logout.
- App.svelte: overlay while routeIsLobby && !splashDone; the plain text
splash now only covers non-lobby deep-links during bootstrap.
- docs: UI_DESIGN + FUNCTIONAL (+ _ru).
The lobby tinted only the viewer's own number, and a tie counted as
"leading" — so an even score showed only the viewer's number green,
reading as if the viewer were ahead. A fresh 0:0 board did the same,
accenting the start of a game where nobody has scored.
scoreStanding is now per-seat: the viewer's seat stays green when
leading or tied and red when trailing; an opponent's seat greens only
when it ties the viewer for the lead, so an equal non-zero score paints
both numbers green. When the top score is 0 (nobody has moved) every
number is left muted, like a finished game.
Collapse the two per-language Telegram bots into one unified bot and
replace language-based variant gating with explicit per-user variant
preferences.
- Telegram: one bot; drop service_language and the supported_languages
set everywhere (DB, account, auth, FlatBuffers Session wire, gateway,
connector proto). The single bot renders chat and out-of-app push in
the recipient's preferred_language; remove the game-language push
routing override (notify Intent.Language / push Event.language).
- Preferences: new accounts.variant_preferences (text[], DB default
{erudit_ru}, CHECK non-empty + subset of the three variants). Gates
the New Game picker, vs-AI and the friend invitation the player
creates, enforced server-side (HTTP 400 otherwise); an invited friend
may still accept any variant. Edited on the Settings screen; variants
are Erudit-first everywhere.
- Admin: drop the per-bot language selectors (broadcast / send-to-user)
and the feedback channel_lang column/field.
- Env/CI: collapse TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN_{EN,RU}, TELEGRAM_GAME_CHANNEL_ID_{EN,RU},
VITE_TELEGRAM_LINK{,_EN,_RU} and VITE_TELEGRAM_GAME_CHANNEL_NAME_{EN,RU}
to single unsuffixed names; drop GATEWAY_DEFAULT_SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES.
- Docs updated (ARCHITECTURE, FUNCTIONAL + _ru, platform/telegram, gateway,
backend, ui, UI_DESIGN, PRERELEASE).
The migration squash is deferred to a follow-up PR.
Svelte trims leading/trailing whitespace inside an element, so the literal
`<span class="sep"> : </span>` rendered as a bare ":" ("123:123"). Emit the
separator as a string expression `{' : '}`, which Svelte preserves, restoring
"123 : 123".
Per owner follow-up: the whole lobby score line is now bold (font-weight 700,
matching the over-the-board score plaques) and a hair smaller (0.8rem) to offset
the heavier weight. The viewer's own number keeps its green/red standing tint.
Functional: the in-game add-friend handshake aimed at an auto-match opponent who is
secretly a pooled robot now records the request per (game, seat) in a new
robot_friend_requests table -- never against the shared robot account -- mirroring the
robot_blocks pattern. The shared account stays out of friendships, the "requested" state
is pinned to the seat (not leaked across the player's other games), the robot ignores it,
and a background reaper drops the row 7 days after its game finishes. The outgoing-requests
list carries these per-game rows so the seat control stays disabled across reloads. No
withdraw UI, per owner decision.
Cosmetics:
- Lobby: an in-progress game tints the viewer's own score number green when leading or
tied, red when trailing (reusing --ok/--danger); scores now render in seat-number order,
matching the over-the-board scoreboard.
- Stats: the per-variant best move is laid out on two lines -- the variant label, then the
score (right-aligned in its column) and the word tiles (left-aligned) below it.
- Dark theme: the played-tile background is a touch darker so a player-placed tile reads
with more contrast (light theme unchanged).
Docs (ARCHITECTURE, FUNCTIONAL + _ru mirror, backend README, UI_DESIGN) updated in the
same change.
Three owner-requested polish changes:
- robot: replace the lengthening 60-90 min -> 6 h proactive-nudge ramp with a
flat uniform 9-12 h wait before every nudge; the existing sleep-window gate
still skips and defers a nudge that would land in the robot's night.
- ui: colour the lobby/in-game unread dot by type -- the regular danger colour
when a chat message is unread, a softer amber (--warn) when only nudges are.
Adds a per-viewer unread_messages flag (chat_messages.kind='message') across
the backend DTO, FlatBuffers wire, gateway transcode and the UI store.
- ui: float games with any unread notification to the top of the lobby's
your-turn and opponent-turn sections (finished keeps its order), reusing the
existing unread_chat flag.
Docs (ARCHITECTURE 7, FUNCTIONAL + _ru) updated. No DB migration; the new wire
field is backward-compatible.
A hint's MoveRecord words are upper-cased on decode (for the move-history view),
whereas an EvalResult keeps the backend's lower case. Seeding the move preview
from the hint verbatim flipped the score caption to upper case and nudged its
height. Lower-case the words in previewFromHint so the caption reads the same
as the evaluate path it replaces.
Taking a hint auto-placed the suggested tiles and then called recompute(),
which round-trips a debounced evaluate for that exact placement. The hint is
the engine's own top-ranked, fully scored legal move, so its move already
carries the score, words and direction an evaluate would return — the second
call was pure duplicate work and added a visible disabled->enabled flicker on
the submit button over slow links.
Seed the move preview directly from the hint move via previewFromHint and
cancel any pending evaluate timer so a stale one cannot clobber it. A later
manual edit re-arms recompute() as before, so rearranged tiles are re-evaluated
normally. Client-only; no backend, wire or schema change.
- The rack now animates the opening drop gap for a board-tile recall drag too
(the reorder transition was gated on a rack-source drag only).
- While a board tile is dragged over the rack (a recall, gap shown), the ✅
confirm and its preview caption are hidden so they don't sit over the gap;
they return if the tile is dragged back out over the board.
- A recall drop lands off the boardwrap, so its pointerup never reached the
boardwrap handler and left a stale id in the active-pointer set — the next
board swipe then read as multi-touch and the shuffle / history pull went dead.
Reconcile the pointer when a drag ends or cancels. Regression e2e added.
- vs-AI: the comms hub drops the Chat tab (Dictionary only); a finished AI
game has no comms at all, so its 💬 history-header entry is hidden too.
- Confirm-move ✅: redone as an absolute overlay pinned to the right edge (its
right edge sits under the preview caption), so the rack keeps a fixed tile
size — this reverts the tile-shrink that resized the letters at 6 tiles.
- Recall: dragging a placed tile back to the rack now drops it at the slot the
pointer is over (drag-to-position, a gap opens), instead of snapping to its
original slot; double-tap still recalls to the origin. New pure recallToSlot.
Tests: placement recallToSlot units; e2e recall-to-position; vs-AI comms e2e
updated. Docs: UI_DESIGN + FUNCTIONAL (+ru).
The ✅ box already ended at var(--pad) from the screen edge, but place-items:
center centred the glyph inside the 56px box, so it sat ~14px left of the green
preview caption (.scores, text-align:right at the same var(--pad)). Right-align
the glyph (place-items: center end) so its right edge lands under the caption's.
- admin dashboard "Users" count excludes robots (CountUsers, humans only)
- lobby finished-game delete reveal: background matches header/tab-bar (--bg-elev)
- mobile: swipe up on the zoom-out board (no staged tiles) shuffles the rack
- lobby: status icons -25%, game-row top/bottom padding halved
- toast: info tier drifts up ~a tab-bar height while fading over 2s and dismisses
on tap; error tier unchanged
- game: confirm-move button stays pinned at the right edge; rack tiles shrink to
fit so a full rack never overflows onto it
- telegram: a successful invite-link redeem shows a welcome window pointing at the bot
- settings: remove the grid-lines toggle; the board is always a gapless checkerboard
- settings/comms hubs: the selected tab highlight wraps icon + label as a pill
Docs: UI_DESIGN (toast, board surface, selected tab), PLAN; e2e updated for the
removed grid-lines toggle.
Blocking an auto-match opponent who is secretly a pooled robot is recorded instead in a separate `robot_blocks` table.
Now blocking behaves the same in that game (struck name, hidden composer) and lists the blocked opponent under the name you saw, but is recorded only against that game — the disguise holds, the shared robot is never globally blocked, and the matchmaker keeps pairing you with robots (so you can never block yourself out of opponents).
- the shared robot account is never put in `blocks`
- the matchmaker keeps it free and it is not blocked under its other per-game names
- the blocked list and the in-game card still show it by joining that table; an unblock deletes the row
Make a per-user block one-directional and non-destructive: the blocker stops
receiving everything from the blocked user (chat, nudge, friend requests,
invitations) and the matchmaker never pairs them, while the blocked user
notices nothing — their sends still persist by the normal rules but are never
delivered or surfaced (born-read). A block no longer deletes the friendship
(an unblock cleanly restores it) and instant-reads any unread the blocked user
had left for the blocker.
- backend: a directional blockExists guard across chat/nudge/friends/invitations
(store-but-hide for the blocked->blocker direction, refuse blocker->blocked);
the matchmaker excludes a block-related pair (both directions) from auto-match;
user_blocked/user_unblocked notifications to the blocker only (in-app only).
- ui: the opponent score card gains a block ✖️ control mirroring add-friend
(red "Block?" confirm, mutual-hide while confirming, struck name, hidden chat
composer when blocked); optimistic apply + event confirm + rollback for both.
- admin: the user card gains cross-linked blocks / blocked-by / friends lists.
- docs: FUNCTIONAL(+ru), ARCHITECTURE §10 + decision record, UI_DESIGN, PRERELEASE.
The statistics screen gains real depth, plus a hint-count bug fix found along the way.
- Best move per variant: the screen shows the actual best-move word (drawn as game
tiles; a wildcard shows its letter but no value), broken down by game variant, empty
variants omitted. New account_best_move table, written at game finish.
- Moves & hint share: two new lifetime tiles — the player's play count and the share of
plays that used a hint — from summed account_stats counters (moves, hints_used).
Honest-AI games are excluded, like the rest of the stats.
- Hint-count fix: the in-game hint badge no longer goes stale across games. The global
wallet now rides the wire apart from the per-game allowance (wallet_balance on
StateView/HintResult/StatsView), so the client reads the live wallet rather than a
per-game snapshot; game_players.hints_used now counts every hint (allowance + wallet),
its true per-game total.
- Account merge: sums the new moves/hints_used counters and merges the per-variant best
moves (higher score kept), which it previously dropped.
- Admin: the user card shows Moves and Hints used.
- UI polish: tab/label wording, game-over text, and e2e selectors hardened against label
changes.
All wire additions are trailing (backward-compatible). Docs (ARCHITECTURE, FUNCTIONAL +ru,
UISN_DESIGN) updated in step.
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.
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).
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).
- game.MaxActiveQuickGames + Store/Service.CountActiveQuickGames (active/open
seats, no game_invitations row; hidden games still count -> dedicated count)
- Server.ensureUnderGameLimit gating handleEnqueue + handleCreateInvitation;
game.ErrGameLimitReached -> 409 game_limit_reached
- FB GameList.at_game_limit (regenerated Go + TS) through the gateway transcode
and UI codec; gameListDTO + lobbycache snapshot + Lobby.svelte + i18n
- tests: integration count rule + HTTP gate + accept bypass; server error map;
gateway transcode round-trip; UI codec + lobbycache unit; e2e gamelimit
- docs: PRERELEASE (GL), FUNCTIONAL(+ru), ARCHITECTURE 8, UI_DESIGN, backend README
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.
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.
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.
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.
Turn the gated-off mock banner into a real advertising subsystem (backend +
admin half; the UI rotation lands in PR2).
- internal/ads: campaigns (percent weight + validity window; a perpetual,
undeletable default that fills the remainder up to 100%), 1..N bilingual
messages (en+ru), global display timings; ActiveSet computes the
window-filtered, default-remainder, GCD-reduced, language-resolved rotation
feed. Smooth-weighted-round-robin math is unit-tested.
- migration 00006 (+ jetgen): ad_campaigns / ad_messages / ad_settings, seeded
default campaign + house message + default timings.
- eligibility = !paid_account && hint_balance==0 && !no_banner role (new role;
guests qualify). The resolved feed rides the profile.get response (no new RPC,
works for guests, nothing distinct to filter); language by service_language.
- live update: a notify `banner` sub-kind (re-poll signal) published when an
operator grants hints or grants/revokes no_banner, so the client shows/hides
in place.
- admin console /_gm/banners (+ /_gm/banner-settings): campaign + message CRUD
with reorder, default protection, clamped timings.
- wire: fbs BannerInfo/BannerCampaign on Profile; gateway transcode forwards it.

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.
Extend the openLink routing from the dictionary lookup to every external
link shown inside the Mini App, so none triggers the WebView's 'open this
link?' confirmation. A shared onExternalLinkClick handler resolves the anchor
via closest() (so it also works delegated on {@html} content), backed by a
pure routeExternalLinkInTelegram decision: only inside Telegram, only an
external http(s) target=_blank link, excluding same-origin/in-app and t.me
links (t.me keeps openTelegramLink). Applied to the word-check lookup, the
About rules link, the Feedback operator-reply links, and the feature-gated
announcement banner.
Outside Telegram every anchor keeps its native target=_blank.
When a checked word is found, show a 'look it up' text link beside the
complaint button that opens an external reference dictionary in a new tab:
gramota.ru for the Russian variants, scrabblewordfinder.org for English
(word lower-cased and percent-encoded). The link hides for a word that is
not found. Inside Telegram it routes through the Mini App SDK's openLink, so
Telegram opens it directly instead of the WebView's 'open this link?'
confirmation; in a browser the anchor's own target=_blank handles it.
Relabel the complaint button to 'Возражаю' (ru); English stays 'Disagree'.
Replace the shared-link &mode=fullscreen (which would also force fullscreen on
desktop) with an imperative requestFullscreen() on launch, gated to mobile
clients (ios/android/android_x) — mirroring how Telegram's own Mini Apps go
immersive on phones while desktop keeps the bot's full-size window. It triggers
the existing fullscreenChanged -> safe-area resync; a no-op on clients predating
Bot API 8.0.
- Shared invite links open the Mini App fullscreen (mode=fullscreen), so a
shared link matches the bot's own fullscreen launch.
- A used or expired invite deep-link now lands the visitor in the lobby with a
gentle notice pointing at the right bot (@<username>, by service language),
instead of a red "code invalid/expired" error on the Friends screen.
- The in-game close confirmation is armed only on Telegram mobile clients; on
desktop (tdesktop/macOS/web) it is skipped, where the "changes may not be
saved" dialog is just noise (drafts auto-save).
- The share caption is now in the bot's language: 'Давай играть в Эрудит!' (ru bot),
"Let's play Scrabble!" (en bot) — picked by the session service language, not the
interface language.
- Redeeming your own invite (deep link or manual) no longer shows the scary
'can't do that to yourself' error; it shows a friendly neutral note instead.
The friend-code 'share' was an <a> that just opened the bot. Make it a real share:
Telegram's native share-to-chat picker inside the Mini App (openTelegramLink +
t.me/share/url), the system share sheet (navigator.share) on the web, else copy the
link. The shared deep link points at the same bot the player is in — it picks
VITE_TELEGRAM_LINK_EN/_RU by the session's service language, falling back to the
single VITE_TELEGRAM_LINK. Adds the per-bot build args across Dockerfile / compose /
ci.yaml / .env / docs; PLAN TODO-5 updated.
Thread the Telegram bot's service language (en/ru) from the session mint response
through the gateway into the FlatBuffers Session, so the UI knows which bot the
player signed in through. handleTelegramAuth refreshes the account's service
language onto the response before minting (it was set after the fetched copy).
Empty for a non-Telegram login.
The edge swipe-back armed on the first finger and fired on release even when a
second finger had joined (a pinch-zoom — the board is not .zoomed yet at the first
touch, so the hit-test could not skip it). Track the live pointer count in the
capture phase and cancel the swipe the moment a second pointer joins; the back
navigation fires only for a lone finger. Synthetic-PointerEvent e2e covers both.
On login the UI no longer overrides the interface language from the account's
preferred_language. The live interface follows the device — the explicit local
choice (saved, locked) or the system-language guess — so opening the mini-app via
the ru-bot on an English system keeps the interface English (it was forced to
Russian by the account seed). preferred_language is still written from Settings and
used for out-of-app push routing; it just no longer dictates the UI on launch.
