A Mini App launch on /telegram/ without sign-in data (empty initData) used to
location.replace('/') — bouncing the visitor to the marketing landing. That
destroyed all diagnosability and, on some Android clients that reach the entry
with no initData, simply looked like the app refusing to open.
Replace the bounce with a compact, privacy-safe launch-error screen
(screens/TelegramLaunchError.svelte) that renders a one-screenshot diagnostic
snapshot captured at the moment of failure: SDK/WebApp presence, Telegram
platform/version, whether initData is empty, whether the URL fragment carried
tgWebAppData, the initData field NAMES present/missing (never the signed
values, never an IP), and OS/mobile/browser via User-Agent Client Hints plus
the full User-Agent. A Share button delivers it through the OS share sheet
(clipboard copy on desktop, reusing the GCG no-webview-strand guard); Retry
re-checks in place to recover a late initData without a reload (which would
discard the launch fragment).
This is the instrument to root-cause the Android empty-initData failure, which
is not reproducible in Playwright.
Tests: collectTelegramDiag + shareText/pickTextShare unit tests; the /telegram/
e2e now asserts the diagnostic screen, not a redirect. Docs: ARCHITECTURE.md +
UI_DESIGN.md updated.
scrabble-game
Multiplatform Scrabble game. Players arrive from a platform (Telegram first; later VK/MAX/iOS/Android) or from standalone web (email / guest). The game supports English Scrabble, Russian Scrabble and Эрудит.
Components
gateway— the only public ingress: anti-abuse, platform authentication (resolves the player and injectsX-User-ID), routing tobackend, and an admin surface behind Basic Auth.backend— internal-only service that owns every domain concern and embeds thescrabble-solverengine library in-process.ui— pure-HTML5 client (plain Svelte 5 + TypeScript + Vite) over Connect-RPC- FlatBuffers, embeddable in platform webviews and packageable to native via
Capacitor. See
ui/README.md.
- FlatBuffers, embeddable in platform webviews and packageable to native via
Capacitor. See
platform/*— per-platform side-services (e.g. the Telegram bot).

Build & test
go build ./backend/... ./pkg/... ./gateway/... # per module (the workspace spans several)
go vet ./backend/... ./pkg/... ./gateway/...
gofmt -l . # must print nothing
go test -count=1 ./backend/... ./pkg/... ./gateway/... # unit tests
go test -tags=integration -count=1 -p=1 ./backend/... # + Postgres (needs Docker)
The integration-tagged tests start a throwaway postgres:17-alpine container
via testcontainers-go and require a reachable Docker daemon; they live in the
backend module. The wire contracts in pkg and the Connect edge in gateway
have committed generated code (regenerate dev-time with make -C pkg gen /
make -C gateway gen).
Run the backend locally
The backend now owns persistence, so it needs Postgres and applies its embedded migrations at startup:
docker run -d --name scrabble-pg -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=dev -p 5432:5432 postgres:17-alpine
BACKEND_POSTGRES_DSN='postgres://postgres:dev@localhost:5432/postgres?search_path=backend&sslmode=disable' \
go run ./backend/cmd/backend # HTTP API + probes on :8080, push gRPC on :9090
Run the gateway locally
The gateway is the public edge; point it at a running backend:
GATEWAY_BACKEND_HTTP_URL=http://localhost:8080 \
GATEWAY_BACKEND_GRPC_ADDR=localhost:9090 \
go run ./gateway/cmd/gateway # Connect/h2c edge on :8081
Key environment: BACKEND_HTTP_ADDR (default :8080), BACKEND_LOG_LEVEL
(debug|info|warn|error, default info), BACKEND_POSTGRES_DSN (required).
The full configuration surface and the go-jet regeneration step live in
backend/README.md.
Run the UI locally
cd ui && pnpm install
pnpm start # mock mode: lobby -> game with no backend, on http://localhost:5173
pnpm dev # against a running gateway (Vite proxies the RPC path to :8081)
pnpm check (type-check), pnpm test:unit (Vitest), pnpm test:e2e (Playwright
smoke vs the mock), pnpm build (static bundle). Details — including the committed
edge codegen (pnpm codegen) — are in ui/README.md.
Deploy (deploy/)
The full contour is deploy/docker-compose.yml:
backend + gateway (with the UI embedded via go:embed, baked in by its node
build stage) + Postgres + the Telegram connector (with a VPN sidecar) + an
observability stack (OTel Collector → Prometheus + Tempo → Grafana) + a front
caddy that owns a single /_gm Basic-Auth (admin console + Grafana). The Go
services build from multi-stage distroless */Dockerfile.
docker build --build-arg DICT_VERSION=v1.3.0 -f backend/Dockerfile -t scrabble-backend . # DICT_VERSION required; pulls that DAWG release artifact
docker build -f gateway/Dockerfile -t scrabble-gateway . # node stage builds + embeds the UI
docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml config # validate (needs the TEST_/PROD_ env)
CI auto-deploys the test contour on a PR into — or push to — development
(.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml); the prod contour is a manual deploy after
development → master. Env reference: deploy/.env.example;
the topology and the two-contour model are in
