A guest host has no meaningful display name to seat, so the offline 'with friends' flow's
"do you take a seat?" prompt only produced a nameless seat. For a guest the prompt is skipped:
after the master PIN, the two empty player seats show directly. A durable host is still asked.
The offline native guest is now offered only Erudit (the profileless default
from the variants fix), so the specs that picked the English "Scrabble"
variant timed out. Play Erudit instead: the single `.variant` click both
selects it and asserts nothing else is offered; the vs_ai test plays НОЖ from
the pinned Erudit rack (ОЖЬЯНАО), and the bundled ru_erudit dawg drives the
robot reply.
Reword every code comment and doc that referenced ANDROID_PLAN.md or its stage anchors (§E, G-step-0, O1) so the living docs no longer depend on the plan file: .claude/CLAUDE.md, deploy/README.md, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/TESTING.md, ui/README.md, ui/android/.gitignore, ui/e2e/native.spec.ts, ui/src/lib/netstate.ts.
Re-enable the manual signed-APK workflow (android-build.yaml.disabled -> android-build.yaml; the CI host already has the Android SDK; workflow_dispatch-only, so it does not auto-run on this PR). Add docs/ICONS.md — the single-master icon/logo format reference (web, PWA, Android, future iOS, store listings).
Land the offline-model redesign (ANDROID_PLAN.md O1-O7): replace the explicit offline toggle with a single detected net-state machine, unify the lobby, and add a two-tier client-version gate. Contour-safe: both version vars empty => dormant, the wire change is additive, so web/pwa/vk/tg behaviour is unchanged unless the gate is deliberately configured.
O1 net-state reducer (test-first). O2 store + wiring (connection/offline shims; +@capacitor/network). O3 remove the offline toggle + migrate the pref. O4 two-tier gate: hard update_required degrades to an offline Update/Play-offline notice (not terminal); soft GATEWAY_RECOMMENDED_CLIENT_VERSION -> X-Update-Recommended nudge. O5 unified lobby (device-local + greyed-from-cache server games; self-set identity; closes G-step-0). O6 create flows (with-friends online/offline segment + offline dict guard). O7 docs.
Telegram/VK stay online-only (contour review): the offline model is channel-gated via offlineCapable() (native + plain web; false in the mini-apps). offlineMode.active is hard-gated on it, so the whole model (blue chrome, unified/greyed lobby, transport kill switch, device-local vs_ai/hotseat create) stays inert in Telegram/VK regardless of the detected net state (closing a version-lock path that could have flipped them offline); and New Game's with-friends hides the online/offline segment there, leaving the remote invite alone. ARCHITECTURE already declared "Telegram/VK are exempt" - this makes the code match.
Deploy/CI: wire the version gate through the deploy (GATEWAY_MIN_CLIENT_VERSION + GATEWAY_RECOMMENDED_CLIENT_VERSION as plain unprefixed vars via compose + ci.yaml + prod-deploy.yaml + write-prod-env.sh + .env.example) so the gate is live when set (test-contour commit-hash version fails open; empty => dormant). Disable the manual android-build CI workflow for now (rename .disabled). Bump the app bundle budget 127->130 KB for the added always-loaded wiring. Fix the UI Docker stage (gateway/Dockerfile): install --ignore-scripts so the Alpine/musl SPA build no longer tries to native-build sharp (a local android:assets tool, unused in the image); esbuild's binary is an optional dep so Vite still builds.
Tests: gateway go green (two-tier gate over a real HTTP handler); docker build of the landing + gateway targets green locally; compose --no-interpolate confirms the gateway env; two new telegram.spec.ts e2e (offline signal keeps the chrome online + quick-match opponent choice visible => server enqueue; with-friends shows no pass-and-play), RED-verified; svelte-check 0/0, vitest 617, e2e 248 (chromium + webkit), build + bundle-size 127.8/130.
The native (Capacitor) sign-in surface is guest + email only: VK ID
web-login is a full-page redirect to id.vk.com that cannot return into the
WebView, and the Telegram Login Widget is unreliable there. Profile now
gates telegramLinkable/vkLinkable on !nativeShell (clientChannel android/
ios), hiding both LINK buttons on native; email and account management —
including an existing link's redirect-free UNLINK — stay. Native tg/vk
login (native SDKs / deep-link OAuth) is a separate later stage.
Covered by e2e/native.spec.ts (the reconcile test opens Profile and asserts
no Link Telegram / Link VK buttons, email present).
Native (Capacitor) cold boot with no cached session now enters as a
device-local guest in auto-offline mode and lands straight in the lobby
(never /login), so the app opens and plays local vs_ai / hotseat with the
APK's bundled dictionaries and zero network. When the gateway becomes
reachable, reconcileServerGuest silently mints + adopts a server guest and
clears the auto-offline, lighting up online features. Web / PWA / Telegram /
VK are byte-for-byte unchanged.
- transport: exec gains { silent, allowOffline } so background reconciliation
bypasses the offline kill switch (like the reachability probe) and never
raises the terminal update overlay (a too-old client stays a local guest);
new authGuestSilent on the client interface, the real transport and the mock.
- app: native no-session boot branch; reconcileServerGuest fired at boot, by
the recovery poll and the online event; the poll routes the session-less
guest through reconciliation, since checkReachable needs a token it lacks.
- native: initNativeShell tolerates a missing Capacitor bridge.
- e2e: new native.spec.ts (inject window.androidBridge; boot -> offline lobby,
local vs_ai move, reconcile -> online, hotseat start) + playwright.config
bundles the dawgs into dist-e2e/dict for the loader's bundled tier.
