A vs_ai hint is now unlimited and wallet-free, but idle-gated as an anti-frustration
aid: it unlocks only after the player has been stuck ~30 min on a turn (timed from the
robot's last move; the human's first move, before the robot has played, is exempt).
While gated the hint button carries a small lock badge and a tap shows the remaining
minutes ('Available in N min.'); the lock lifts live at the mark.
The gate is enforced CLIENT-SIDE against a MONOTONIC clock (performance.now()), never a
wall-clock timestamp: a device clock the player controls (or an auto-sync) must not be
able to open or freeze it. The wait is therefore session-scoped -- a reload restarts it
(there is no tamper-proof way to carry idle time across a relaunch without a wall clock).
An online vs_ai game will gate the same way but from the server's clock (a follow-up).
- lib/hints.ts: HINT_GATE_MS + pure hintGateRemainingMs (monotonic) + hintLockMinutes;
removed the wall-clock hintRemainingMs. Unit-tested red->green.
- Game.svelte: the monotonic gate (hintGateStart/monoNow, armed on the turn change), a
vs_ai hint button (plain: no confirm, no count; lock badge + gated tap -> toast), a
live 10s tick.
- localgame: removed the wall-clock hint gate and the now-dead robotLastMoveAtUnix field
from source.ts/serialize.ts (the client is authoritative); hint() just serves the top
move.
- i18n game.hintLockedIn.
- offline.spec.ts: assert the first move is un-gated and the lock arms after the robot moves.
- Docs FUNCTIONAL(+_ru) + ARCHITECTURE; bundle budget 114->115 (game-screen feature).
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
docs/ARCHITECTURE.md §13.
