## Description:
This reworks asset delivery and cacheability across the app and moves
non-bundled public resources onto immutable, content-hashed URLs.
Vite bundle outputs continue to live under `/assets/**` and remain
content-hashed by Vite. Public resources that were previously fetched
from stable paths in `resources/` now go through a custom hashed
namespace under `/_assets/**`, backed by a generated asset manifest that
is available to the server, browser, and worker runtime.
In parallel, the root app shell is now cacheable shared HTML instead of
request-time `no-store` HTML. Dynamic and live routes remain explicitly
uncached.
## Why
- Improve browser and Cloudflare cacheability for static assets.
- Remove query-string and release-version cache busting for
runtime-fetched assets.
- Allow unchanged public assets to keep the same URL across releases.
- Reduce avoidable work on `/` by serving a shared app shell instead of
rendering HTML on every request.
- Make cache behavior explicit instead of relying on mixed framework
defaults and file-extension heuristics.
## What Changed
### 1. Content-hashed public asset pipeline
- Added a build-time public asset manifest and hashing pipeline for
non-Vite resources.
- Production now emits hashed public assets under `/_assets/**`.
- Added runtime manifest loading for Node so server-rendered paths
resolve against built hashed files instead of rebuilding from source at
runtime.
- Emitted the runtime asset manifest as an ESM module for server
consumption.
Result:
- `/assets/**` = Vite-managed hashed bundle outputs
- `/_assets/**` = custom content-hashed public resources
### 2. Runtime asset URL migration
- Added a shared `assetUrl(...)` resolution path.
- Migrated runtime references away from query-string versioning and
stable source paths.
- Updated browser, worker, and server-side rendering paths to resolve
through the asset manifest.
- Moved map manifests, map binaries, thumbnails, sprites, sounds, fonts,
flags, icons, screenshots, and other runtime-fetched resources onto
hashed URLs.
### 3. Map and preview fixes
- Fixed directory and per-file map asset resolution so map manifest and
binary fetches resolve to the correct hashed URLs.
- Updated preview metadata and map thumbnail paths to use the hashed
asset namespace.
- Fixed runtime manifest loading in prod after deployment.
### 4. Explicit cache policies
- Added explicit immutable cache headers for:
- `/assets/**`
- `/_assets/**`
- worker-prefixed equivalents under `/wN/...`
- Added explicit `no-store` headers for live and dynamic APIs.
- Removed the old `/api/env` bootstrap request and baked `gameEnv` into
the HTML bootstrap instead.
### 5. Cacheable root app shell
- Refactored the root HTML path to serve a shared app shell with:
- `Cache-Control: public, max-age=0, s-maxage=300,
stale-while-revalidate=86400`
- `/` and the SPA fallback now serve shared cacheable HTML instead of
request-time `no-store` rendering.
- `/game/:id` remains dynamic and `no-store`, but now reuses the shared
shell before injecting preview tags.
### 6. Matchmaking instance handling
- Because the app shell is now cacheable, `INSTANCE_ID` was removed from
shared HTML.
- Added `/api/instance` as a temporary `no-store` runtime lookup used
only by matchmaking.
- This preserves correctness with the current random-per-boot
`INSTANCE_ID` model while keeping `/` cacheable, but it is not the
intended long-term design.
## Behavior Changes
### Asset URL contract
Production URLs for non-Vite public resources now change from stable
paths such as:
- `/maps/...`
- `/images/...`
- `/manifest.json`
to content-hashed paths under:
- `/_assets/...`
Examples:
- `/_assets/maps/<map>/manifest.<hash>.json`
- `/_assets/images/Favicon.<hash>.svg`
### Bootstrap/config
- `/api/env` is removed.
- `gameEnv` is now bootstrapped from HTML.
### HTML caching
- `/` and the SPA fallback are now cacheable shared HTML.
- `/game/:id` remains dynamic.
## Cache Matrix After This Branch
- `/_assets/**`: `public, max-age=31536000, immutable`
- `/assets/**`: `public, max-age=31536000, immutable`
- live `/api/**`: explicit `no-store`
- `/api/health`: explicit `no-store`
- `/api/instance`: explicit `no-store`
- `/game/:id`: explicit `no-store`
- `/` and SPA fallback: `public, max-age=0, s-maxage=300,
stale-while-revalidate=86400`
## Notes / Tradeoffs
- `/api/instance` is a temporary compromise. It exists because
`INSTANCE_ID` is currently random per boot, which is not safe to embed
into cacheable shared HTML.
- The current matchmaking flow still asks the client to provide
`instance_id` during `matchmaking/join`. That is functional, but it is
the wrong ownership boundary: instance selection should be handled by
the matchmaking service, not by the browser.
- The cleaner end-state would be:
- make `matchmaking/join` stop requiring `instance_id` from the client,
and let the matchmaking service select a healthy instance from worker
check-ins
- This branch makes the origin behavior edge-cache-friendly, but
Cloudflare still needs matching cache rules if HTML itself should be
cached at the edge.
## Validation
Verified during development with:
- `npx tsc --noEmit`
- `node node_modules\\vite\\bin\\vite.js build`
- `node node_modules\\vitest\\vitest.mjs run
tests/server/RenderHtml.test.ts tests/server/NoStoreHeaders.test.ts
tests/server/StaticAssetCache.test.ts
tests/core/configuration/ConfigLoader.test.ts`
Additional targeted tests added:
- `tests/AssetUrls.test.ts`
- `tests/core/game/FetchGameMapLoader.test.ts`
- `tests/core/configuration/ConfigLoader.test.ts`
- `tests/server/NoStoreHeaders.test.ts`
- `tests/server/StaticAssetCache.test.ts`
- `tests/server/RenderHtml.test.ts`
## Known Existing Warnings
The production build still reports pre-existing warnings that are not
addressed by this branch:
- inconsistent JSON import attributes for `resources/countries.json`
- inconsistent JSON import attributes for `resources/QuickChat.json`
- large chunk warnings from Vite
## Rollout Notes
- Cache rules should treat `/_assets/**` and `/assets/**` as immutable.
- Cloudflare will still classify HTML as dynamic after deploy unless
matching edge cache rules are configured for it.
## Follow-ups
- Remove `/api/instance` by changing `matchmaking/join` so the server
selects the target instance, or by making `INSTANCE_ID` deploy-stable if
the current contract must remain.

## Description:
Should fix the broken 1v1 on staging. The issue was that we had multiple
staging environments, and the matchmaker would often route a player to a
game on a different staging server, so the client couldn't find the
game.
So now each deployment has a unique id, and the matchmaker only connects
players & servers that have the same instance id.
