// FlatBuffers payloads for the client <-> gateway edge transport.

// Every request and response that rides inside the Connect envelope
// (gateway/proto/edge) `payload` field, and every push Event payload, is one of
// these tables. They are the binary wire contract shared with the UI, which
// generates TypeScript from this same schema. A single namespace keeps
// nested tables (GameView inside MoveResult / MatchResult) free of
// cross-namespace imports. Keep this schema and the backend JSON DTOs in lockstep
// — the gateway transcodes one to the other.
//
// Generate Go with `make fbs` (flatc, version-pinned). The committed output lives
// in fbs/scrabblefb/.
