Stage 5: robot opponent (pool, seed-derived strategy, move driver, matchmaker substitution)
- internal/robot: durable kind='robot' account pool (migration 00004); every
per-game and per-turn choice derived deterministically from the game seed
(restart-stable FNV mix); a background move driver; margin targeting (band
1-30, closest-to-band); right-skewed [2,90]min delays (median ~10m);
opponent-anchored sleep with +/-3h drift; daytime nudge reply + proactive
12h nudge; friend/chat blocked via profile toggles.
- engine.Candidates (decoded ranked plays); game.Candidates + RobotTurns;
social.LastNudgeAt.
- matchmaker: 10s wait then robot substitution (reaper) + Poll delivery seam.
- config (BACKEND_ROBOT_DRIVE_INTERVAL, BACKEND_LOBBY_ROBOT_WAIT,
BACKEND_LOBBY_REAPER_INTERVAL); main wiring + boot-time pool provisioning.
- metrics: robot account_stats (authoritative balance) + robot_games_finished_total
OTel counter + per-finish log.
- docs: PLAN, ARCHITECTURE, FUNCTIONAL(+ru), TESTING, README; account.go comment.
- tests: robot strategy units, matchmaker reaper/Poll, engine.Candidates; inttest
robot full-game / substitution / proactive-nudge.
