Backend README (GAME_CLOCK_MS), AGENTS.md notes, TODO items for the open points and the mobile release order; game-history R3.3 and R3.4 marked as replaced. Checked end to end in Chrome: moves, a backend restart, a timeout and the replay.
Both clocks next to the players, counting down in server time with the same running and low-time styles as the web app. The game screen now handles on_game_end, so a game that ends on time ends on the phone too and says why.
Both clocks sit next to the players' names and count down in server time; the running one is highlighted and turns red under 30 seconds. They replace the offline countdown, so core drops TURN_TIMEOUT_MS, INACTIVE_TIMEOUT_MS, offlineSince and its text. Long info texts wrap on phones.
Live game snapshots become version 2 with the clock and each move's time left. On restore the running clock goes on from the start of the turn, so downtime is not charged; version 1 snapshots get a new clock. Saved games keep the initial time (migration 002_clock) and each move's time left.
GameClockScheduler checks every live game once a second and ends those whose running clock has reached zero, whether or not anyone is connected. The clock replaces the offline turn timeout and the inactivity rule, so both are removed with the offline times they used.
Each player starts with GAME_CLOCK_MS (5 minutes). A move deducts the turn's time from the mover; a move that arrives after the time has run out is not played and the opponent wins on time. Every ending stops the clock, and clients get the clock and the server time with each game message.
GameClock and optional clock fields on live games, end messages, move records and finished games; getClockTimes, ClockSync, getClockAtMove and formatClock with tests.
Each player has 5 minutes; the server keeps the time and a scheduled service ends games whose running clock reaches zero. Replaces the offline turn and inactivity rules.
Requirements, design decisions and tasks for the Keycloak login, written
after the implementation; mobile login and turning off legacy userKey
login remain open.
- Backend README: DATABASE_URL, VALKEY_URL, the new routes and how the
backend behaves when Postgres or Valkey is down
- TODO: drop the fixed spectator and memory bugs, add game history on
mobile, a page with all games, single-instance limits, backups and the
new .env variables
- Spec marked as implemented, all tasks ticked
- Opening a finished game shows its final position, result, score, date
and duration, with Watch from start
- First / previous / play-pause / next / last, speed 1x, 2x, 4x, a
timeline, the move list and arrow keys and space
- Stepping forward animates the move like a live game; jumps show the
position directly
- ?move=n links to a move and follows the shown move
- Players see the board from their own side
- PitAnimator takes its step interval as a parameter
- Move list under the board with player, pit and what happened (extra
turn, capture, stones to the store, game over); collapsed on phones
- Selecting a move or using the arrow keys shows that position with a
banner and Back to live; pits are locked meanwhile and the banner says
when it is your turn
- Countdown while the opponent is offline on their turn
- on_game_end is handled, so games that end by timeout or inactivity end
on the page with the reason
- Banner for the user's game in progress with a Continue button
- Live games as cards with the real board, updated over WebSocket; the
most watched finished games when nothing is live
- The user's last 3 games, from their side of the board, with the result
as they would say it
- The lobby offers to continue the game in progress when a new one is
refused
- Spectators register once connected and identified, and again after a
reconnect, so they are counted
- The backend includes games that ended but are not saved yet in /game/:id
and the lists
Board components size themselves from a --board-unit CSS variable instead
of vw. By default it is 1vw, so the game page looks the same; with the new
width prop the same board renders small, e.g. in previews.
- GET /games/me/active and /games/me (Bearer token), /games/popular (live
games, or the most spectated finished ones), and /game/:id now also
returns saved records of finished games
- Lists are cached in Valkey for 10 seconds, cleared when a game is saved,
and empty instead of failing while the database is down
- Live game previews over WebSocket: subscribers get the top 5 on
subscribe and on change, at most once per second, without counting as
spectators; ids are public ids
- RTMT supports several connection listeners
- Games record start and move times, spectator peak and distinct count
- Games end as completed, left (the leaver loses), timeout (5 minutes
offline on your turn while the opponent is online) or inactive (both
offline for 30 minutes); everyone gets on_game_end
- Connection info carries offlineSince for the countdown
- A new game is rejected while the user has one in progress
- Live games are written to Valkey after every change and restored on
startup; finished games are saved to Postgres with public ids, and
saves that fail are kept and retried every 30 seconds
- Clients get a trimmed game without spectator ids
- Startup waits for Valkey, restores games, then accepts connections;
migrations are retried while Postgres is unreachable
- Valkey client that fails commands at once while Valkey is down instead
of queueing them, and logs connection errors once
- ValkeyLiveGameStore: live game snapshots and finished games waiting to
be saved, loaded with SCAN on startup
- ValkeyCache: JSON values with a TTL; errors count as cache misses
- Integration tests against a real Valkey, including an unreachable one
- Connection pool and a small migration runner (schema_migrations, one
transaction per migration, advisory lock)
- games and game_players tables with indexes for a user's games and for
popular games
- PostgresGameHistoryRepository: idempotent save, get, recent games of a
user, popular games
- Integration tests against a real Postgres via testcontainers; a custom
Jest environment gives tests Node's web globals, which Jest 27 leaves out
- GameRecord carries the number of distinct spectators
- Spectators are removed from games when they disconnect; the lookup
iterated an iterator with for...in and never found anything
- Finished and left games are removed from memory, not only from the
player mappings
- The connection info is sent once when a game starts
- PlayerSummary, MoveRecord, live and finished game summaries, GameRecord,
timeout constants, startedAt/moveTimes on Game and offlineSince on
UserConnectionInfo
- Channels for live game previews and for rejecting a new game while one
is in progress
- getInitialBoard, getBoardAfterMove, describeMove and createGameAtMove,
with tests against games played with the engine
- English and Turkish strings for the new screens
- postgres replaces keycloak-db and holds a keycloak and a mancala database,
each with its own user, created by apps/postgres/init
- valkey with an append-only file for live game state and caches
- backend gets DATABASE_URL and VALKEY_URL
