New Game opened on a single variant for everyone, which reads poorly on VK
where Russian Scrabble is the familiar game. A registered account now starts
with both Russian-alphabet games, so the picker offers a real choice with no
pre-selection.
A guest stays on Erudit alone and is invited to register for the rest: the
device-local guest has no profile at all, so the client-side fallback has to
keep matching the server. Registering promotes the set, but only while the
guest still carries the untouched guest default. Existing accounts are not
backfilled — the set they carry may be a deliberate choice.
The Telegram promo start-param becomes additive rather than a replacement,
with English Scrabble withheld from a Russian-speaking arrival; otherwise the
English campaign link would have taken Russian Scrabble away from every
account it onboarded.
Design/continuity doc for the from-scratch SwiftUI iPhone+iPad app: Mac
build model, engineering decisions (min iOS 18, apple/ dir, XcodeGen+SPM,
@Observable, Swift 6 strict concurrency, SF Symbols, runtime-vector tiles),
the five determining optimizations, storage/audio/testing/crash choices,
region-aware payment seam with tracked App Store risks, and the full A-L
+ game-screen UX inventory. Delivery staged; several items tracked for
follow-up sessions.
