A single tile that only extended a word perpendicular to the client-declared
direction was rejected: the UI always sent dir=H for one-tile plays (the
dirOverride/Controls toggle was orphaned in the Stage 7 game rework), so placing
"А" above "БАК" to form "АБАК" failed the solver's main-word-length check even
though the word is in the dictionary.
Make the backend infer a play's orientation from the placed tiles and the board
(internal/engine.resolveDirection): two or more tiles by the line they share, a
lone tile by the axis it abuts (longer word wins, horizontal on a tie). Direction
becomes an output, not an input: drop dir from the SubmitPlay/Eval wire requests
and add it to EvalResult. Journal replay keeps trusting the stored "H"/"V"
(SubmitPlayDir) so a rebuilt game matches the one committed.
UI: stop computing/sending direction; the preview now shows the words a move
forms with its total score (game.previewWords); the make-move control is disabled
until the play is confirmed legal; the "your turn" label hides while tiles are
pending. Delete the orphaned Controls.svelte.
Regenerate the FlatBuffers bindings (Go + TS) and update the gateway transcode
and the loadtest edge client to the new contract. Bake the decision into
ARCHITECTURE.md (§5/§9.1), FUNCTIONAL.md (+ _ru) and the backend README.
Squash the 12 goose migrations into one 00001_baseline.sql (there is no prod
data; verified schema-identical to the chain via a pg_dump diff + the green
integration suite) and rename the game-variant labels
english/russian_scrabble/erudit -> scrabble_en/scrabble_ru/erudit_ru across the
backend, the FlatBuffers wire values and the UI.
dawg filenames and the Go enum identifiers are unchanged; the i18n display keys
are kept. Adds PRERELEASE.md (the R1-R7 pre-release tracker), linked from
CLAUDE.md. Contour DB wipe and the scrabble-dictionary tidy are follow-ups.
PostMessage now rejects a chat sent on a finished game or when it is not the sender's
turn (ErrChatNotYourTurn -> 409 chat_not_your_turn), matching the UI where the message
field is hidden off-turn and only the nudge shows. Existing chat tests post on the
to-move seat and are unaffected; adds an off-turn-rejection integration test + the dto
mapping case + the UI error message.
- Resign on the opponent's turn: engine ResignSeat(seat) resigns a specific seat
(not just toMove); game.Resign bypasses the turn check and forfeits the actor's seat.
- Quick-match cancel was a UI no-op (only stopped polling): add the full path
(REST /lobby/cancel -> gateway lobby.cancel -> client) and clear the matchmaker's
pending result on Cancel, so a cancelled search is dequeued (no 'already queued', no
later robot-substituted game). NewGame dequeues on cancel and on abandon.
- Lobby win/loss: result.ts ranked by score, so a 0-0 resignation read as a win.
The winner now takes rank 1 and the viewer is placed from rank 2 — matching the
game-detail screen.
- Friend request to a robot: robots no longer block requests; the request stays
pending and expires (friendRequestTTL), mirroring a human who ignores it.
- Nudge cooldown: ErrNudgeTooSoon now maps to a distinct nudge_too_soon code with a
correct message; the chat nudge button disables during the hourly cooldown; the
nudge note reads 'Waiting for your move!' (button keeps the Nudge action label).
Tests: engine/service off-turn resign, matchmaker cancel-clears-result, friend-to-robot
inttest, result.ts 0-0 resignation, nudge_too_soon mapping.
Wire the deferred Stage 7 surfaces end-to-end (UI -> gateway transcode ->
backend REST -> existing domain services): friends (incl. one-time friend
codes), per-user blocks, friend-game invitations, profile editing + email
binding, the statistics screen, and the in-game history + GCG export.
Friends gain two add paths (interview decision, a deliberate plan change):
one-time 6-digit codes (friend_codes table, 12h TTL, single-use, rate-limited
redeem); and play-gated requests (shared game required) where an explicit
decline is permanent, an ignored request lapses after 30 days, and a code
bypasses a decline. Migration 00006 widens friendships_status_chk and adds
friend_codes.
Lobby notification badge is poll + push: a new generic `notify` event drives
it live; the client polls on open/focus. Language stays a single Settings
control that writes through to the durable account's preferred_language. GCG
export is finished-only (game.ErrGameActive) and shares/downloads the .gcg file.
Tests: backend unit + inttest (friend gate/decline/code, ListInvitations,
GetStats, GCG gate), gateway transcode round-trips + notify constructor, UI
vitest (codecs, win-rate, share choice) + Playwright social specs. Docs: PLAN
(Stage 8 done + refinements + TODO-5), ARCHITECTURE, FUNCTIONAL(+ru), UI_DESIGN,
TESTING, module READMEs.
