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.
display_name validation gains a rule: at most 5 special characters — the '.' / '_'
punctuation (spaces, which separate words, don't count) — so a still-well-formed name
can't be mostly punctuation. Mirrored in the Go ValidateDisplayName and the UI
validDisplayName; both unit-tested (5 ok, 6 rejected, 'J. R. R. Tolkien' ok). Docs:
FUNCTIONAL (+ _ru).
- #4 bag label: '{n} in the bag' / 'Bag is empty' (was 'Bag {n}')
- #6 allow a single trailing dot in display names (backend + UI regex + tests)
- #1 double-tap zooms toward the tapped cell, not the top-left
- #8 shuffle fires a short multi-pulse haptic
- #11 highlighted/flashing tiles darken their bottom edge too (shadow joins the flash)
- #13 toast slides up from the bottom and fades out
- #7 hide the logout button (kept wired behind `hidden`)
- #16 admin game seats: left-align numeric columns, clarify the 'Hints used' header
Owner-review follow-up on the Stage 8 branch:
- Friend code is copyable (📋 + toast). The lobby notification badge is fixed —
it had inherited the hamburger-bar style — into a proper round count dot.
- Safari: min-width:0 on flex text inputs (friend code, profile, chat) so they
shrink instead of pushing the adjacent button off-screen.
- Profile editing is validated on both the UI and the backend: display-name format
(letters joined by single space/./_ separators, no leading/trailing/adjacent
separators, <=32 runes), a UTC-offset timezone picker (account.ResolveZone parses
±HH:MM or a legacy IANA name), a 10-minute away grid capped at 12h (wrap-aware),
and email format; Save is disabled and invalid fields red-bordered until valid.
Language stays in Settings.
- In a game, an "add to friends" menu item flips to a disabled "request sent"; chat
send/nudge became ⬆️/🛎️ icon buttons.
- A finished game drops its last-word highlight, hides Check word / Drop game,
disables zoom, and draws an inert (greyed) footer instead of hiding it.
Tests: account validators (name/away/zone), UI profileValidation, e2e for the
finished-game footer/menu and the copy control. Docs (PLAN, ARCHITECTURE,
FUNCTIONAL +ru, UI_DESIGN) updated for the display-name rule, UTC-offset timezone
and the 12h away window.
