When it is not the viewer's turn in an online PvP or vs_ai game, the under-board status
now reads the generic 'Opponent's turn' (game.opponentsTurn) rather than the opponent's
display name or the robot mark, so whose turn it is reads uniformly. The hotseat branch
still names the seat to move (whose device-turn it is matters there), and the seat row
below continues to name each player.
When a guest links an identity (email/TG/VK) that already belongs to a durable account,
the guest-primary rule already made the durable account the survivor and switched the
session — but the client still showed an irreversible 'merge two accounts?' confirmation,
which is nonsense from the user's side (they are simply signing into their account). The
confirm step now merges inline for a GUEST initiator and returns the completed merge (the
switched token); a durable initiator still gets the explicit confirmation (consolidating
two real accounts is consequential). The active-game guard still refuses, surfaced as the
clear error.merge_active_game_conflict message rather than swallowed.
Also fixes the merged-away device-local games: their human/host seat was recorded under
the retired account id, so after the switch the lobby and game header could not identify
'me' and showed every seat as an opponent (the game still played — turn logic is
seat-index based). applyLinkResult now re-points local game seats from the retired id to
the survivor (repointLocalGameSeats).

The dictionary lives on a persistent volume seeded from the image once and never
re-seeded, so a redeploy that bumped BACKEND_DICT_VERSION left the new DAWGs
unreachable (the volume mount shadows the image copy) and the active version stuck
at whatever the admin console last installed — a native offline-first client then
fetched the server's older pinned version over the network instead of using its
bundled dict.
On boot the backend now DELIVERS the build version onto the volume add-only, from a
second unshadowed image copy at BACKEND_DICT_SEED_DIR, into DICT_DIR/<version>/ when
absent (the flat seed and prior uploads untouched, so in-flight games keep theirs),
and InitActiveVersion makes the build version active — except a console-installed
version NEWER than the build (compared numerically) is not downgraded by a restart.
The .seed_version guard still protects the flat seed's label (a bump is a new
subdirectory, never a relabel). The console stays for out-of-band updates.
Docs: ARCHITECTURE.md §5, deploy/README.md, seedmarker.go. Tests: engine.DeliverVersion
(add-only, idempotent, flat-seed skip), compareDictVersions, and the dictionary-update
integration test's deploy-delivers path.
A guest was provisioned with only its detected time zone; its PreferredLanguage
fell to the 'en' column default. The client already sends its locale in the guest
login (GuestLoginRequest.locale), but the gateway dropped it and ProvisionGuest
took no language — so a Russian user's brand-new native guest got English
language-dependent server content (the ad banner, bot messages) until the client's
later language reconcile. Read the locale in the gateway guest handler, thread it
through GuestAuth -> ProvisionGuest, and seed PreferredLanguage from it (validated;
an unsupported/absent value keeps the 'en' default). Wire field already present —
no schema change.
