The move preview (EvaluatePlay) validated under standard rules — it called
ValidatePlay without the game's play options — so under the single-word
rule it rejected a play whose only flaw was incidental invalid perpendicular
cross-words, even though SubmitPlay accepts it. The UI gates the submit
button on the preview, so such a play (e.g. КРАН bridging an existing Р on
the test contour) could not be made.
Pass g.playOpts() via ValidatePlayOpts, mirroring Play, so the preview's
legality and score match submission. Robots are unaffected — they search
via GenerateMovesOpts and submit via Play, both already opts-aware — and a
regression test asserts that too.
Add a per-game rule chosen on New Game for Russian variants (default off = the
single-word rule; on = standard Scrabble). Off, only the main word along the play
direction is validated and scored; perpendicular cross-words are ignored,
including in robot move generation. The rule rides every create and enqueue
request and joins the matchmaking key, so games and auto-match stay one uniform
path; "Russian-only" is a UI affordance (English always sends standard and shows
no toggle).
- Engine: consume scrabble-solver v1.1.0's PlayOptions{IgnoreCrossWords}, threaded
through engine.Options.MultipleWordsPerTurn -> playOpts() into validate, score
and generate.
- Backend: thread the flag through game CreateParams/Game + store (games column),
lobby InvitationSettings + invitation row, and the matchmaker queue key (variant
+ rule); persisted, so a rebuilt-from-journal game keeps it. Baseline migration
gains multiple_words_per_turn (DB not versioned); jet regenerated.
- Edge: multiple_words_per_turn added to the EnqueueRequest / CreateInvitationRequest
FlatBuffers tables (Go + TS regenerated) and threaded through the gateway.
- UI: a "Multiple words per turn" toggle on New Game, shown for Russian variants
only (auto-match and friend invite), default off; English silently sends standard.
- Tests: backend engine/matchmaker; UI unit (gating) + Playwright e2e (solver
corner-case + GCG fixtures ship in v1.1.0). Docs + PRERELEASE tracker updated.
