## Description:
- The lobby WebSocket broadcast (`/lobbies`) was re-sending the full
`PublicGames` snapshot — including each lobby's `gameConfig` — to every
connected client every 500ms. Almost nothing in that payload changes
tick-to-tick; only `numClients` moves.
- `WorkerLobbyService` now tracks the sorted set of `gameID`s it last
sent as a full snapshot. On each incoming broadcast it sends a `full`
only when that set changes; otherwise it sends a `counts` delta carrying
just `{gameID → numClients}`.
- This relies on the master-side coupling at
[MasterLobbyService.ts:140-159](src/server/MasterLobbyService.ts#L140-L159):
when master finds a lobby without `startsAt`, it both sets `startsAt`
AND schedules a fresh lobby on the same tick, so the gameID change
brings the `startsAt` (and `gameConfig`) along with it.
- New WS connections are primed with the worker's cached last `full` so
late joiners don't have to wait for the next structural change.
- `LobbySocket` parses the new discriminated union (`PublicLobbyMessage
= full | counts`), keeps the last full snapshot in memory, and merges
counts into it before invoking the existing callback. `GameModeSelector`
is unchanged.
- Master → worker IPC is unchanged — still sends the full snapshot every
500ms. The optimization only applies to the worker → WS-client boundary,
which is the fan-out point.

Adds map of the Caribbean sea and its islands. Archipelago map with lots
of islands, lots of water and a lot of trade.
This map has multiple large landmasses of similar size to prevent
steamrolls (the largest islands and landmasses are around 30%), and
many, many small islands where players can survive and trade. Players
will have to island hop in order to win. 34 nations of Caribbean
countries and territories, with an extra 28 AdditionalNations for a
total of 62 nations for crowded HvN.
Heavy Island maps are very popular in the broader community and we dont
have one for v32, so i figured it would be nice to have a very requested

570k land tiles, fairly small for a map, would be right placed before
World (600k tiles). Also adds some flags of caribbean regions.

## Description:
"A high-stakes naval theater where empires clash over narrow corridors,
bottleneck straits, and heavily fortified shorelines."
Modeled to the exact strategic proportions of the classic Black Sea map,
Yellow Sea shifts the focus of global conflict to East Asia. The map is
defined by its massive central body of water, making naval dominance
absolutely essential for survival. However, unlike wide-open oceans,
control of the Yellow Sea is entirely dictated by its unique coastal
geography.
The Shandong And Liaoning Peninsulas are The definitive feature of the
map. Two massive, opposing peninsulas project deep into the sea, acting
as natural, heavily contestable daggers. They create tight naval choke
points in the central waters while forcing land-based players into
brutal, linear frontlines where every pixel of territory is bought with
blood.
The Continental Rim: A sprawling mainland coast wraps around the
northern and western edges of the map, offering expansive land routes
for players who prefer sweeping land invasions over amphibious assaults.
Scale Class: Medium
Gameplay Style: Naval/Land Hybrid, Tactical Choke Points, Frontline

## Description:
Add image-based territory skins as a new cosmetic type, rendered
alongside the existing 1-bit patterns. Skins render a single PNG
centered on each player's spawn tile — opaque pixels show the skin
(multiplied by team color in team games, raw colors in FFA), transparent
pixels and tiles outside the image bounds fall through to the regular
player palette color.
**Cosmetic plumbing**
- `SkinSchema` in `CosmeticSchemas.ts`, optional `skins` map on
`CosmeticsSchema`
- `PlayerSkin`, `PlayerCosmetics.skin`, `PlayerCosmeticRefs.skinName` in
`Schemas.ts`
- Server-side resolution: `PrivilegeCheckerImpl.isSkinAllowed` (gated by
`skin:*` / `skin:<name>` flares)
- Client persistence: stored under `PATTERN_KEY` (`pattern:` and `skin:`
share one slot — they're mutually exclusive)
- `getPlayerCosmeticsRefs` only emits a `skinName` when cosmetics are
loaded, the skin exists in the catalog, and the user has the right flare
— otherwise drops the ref and clears storage
**Renderer**
- `SkinAtlasArray` — fixed `TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY`, 1024×1024 per layer,
exact layer count allocated once at game start from the locked-in player
set. No resize, no callbacks, no retained `HTMLImageElement`. Zero GPU
cost when no players have skins (1×1 placeholder).
- `skinLayerTex` (R8UI 4096×1) — per-player `layer + 1` (`0` = no skin)
- `skinAnchorTex` (RG16UI 4096×1) — per-player spawn tile, so the PNG
center anchors at each player's spawn (re-uploads when the player
re-picks during spawn phase)
- `WebGLFrameBuilder.syncPlayers` collects unique skin URLs on first
sync and calls `view.initSkinAtlas(urls)` once; `clearCaches()` resets
so seek/replay re-initializes
- `territory.frag.glsl`: skin branch is mutually exclusive with
patterns; bounds-checks UVs against `[0, 1]` so the image is a single
stamp, not tiled; alpha-blends against the player palette color so
transparent pixels and out-of-bounds tiles render as the regular player
color
**Hover highlight (global UX change, not skin-scoped)**
- Existing hover highlight changed from "brighten toward white" to
"saturation boost." Applies to all players regardless of
skin/pattern/flat-color — looks better across the board.
**UI**
- `CosmeticButton` renders skins as a single `<img>` (object-contain)
- `TerritoryPatternsModal` merges patterns + skins into one grid; single
"default" tile clears both
- Selecting a pattern clears the skin and vice versa (mutually
exclusive)
- `Store` pattern tab includes skin entries (purchasable, not-yet-owned)
- `PatternInput` lobby button previews the active skin when one is set
**Memory**
- 0 skin players → ~4 bytes (placeholder) + ~40 KB fixed per-player
tables
- 1 skin player → ~5.6 MB GPU
- 5 skin players → ~28 MB GPU
- 10 skin players → ~56 MB GPU
**Tests**
- `tests/Privilege.test.ts`: 13 new cases covering `isSkinAllowed`
(wildcard, exact-match, missing flare, missing skin, forged refs) and
`isAllowed` integration (allowed/forbidden paths, short-circuit when
invalid skin is paired with valid other cosmetics)

## Description:
This PR fixes a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in 1v1 matches
related to desync reporting. The `findOutOfSyncClients` logic previously
forced a game-ending desync if half or more players reported conflicting
hashes (`outOfSyncClients.length >= Math.floor(this.activeClients.length
/ 2)`). In a 1v1, this meant a single malicious player sending a bad
hash could trigger a global desync, crashing their opponent's game
session.
The logic has been corrected to require a **strict majority** (`>
Math.floor(this.activeClients.length / 2)`) to declare a lobby-wide
desync. In a 1v1 game, a single malicious actor will now simply be
flagged as the out-of-sync client and disconnected, allowing the honest
player to continue their session uninterrupted.

## Description:
Labyrinth is a maze type map. My attempt at making a more chess style
board for play. Games with bots appear stable at over 45min average run
times. The map has been setup for team spawn zones for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
and 7 teams. Some of the team spawns for odd numbers are experimental
and I would like to see how they play out with live players. Additional
nation names included. There are other design factors like each of the
large squares being within the blast radius of a hydro; small islands
are within the blast radius of nukes.
This is meant as a slower playing game. My intentions are to get some
sort of literal rotation of the map in the future if easily implemented.
That way every time players load the game there would be some
randomization.
As an additional note one of my last edit to the map was the "+" shape
to the islands to allow train passage. Zooming out I can see now that
the pattern is squares and + through out. Did not fully intend on that,
but it felt like good vibes.

## Description:
Adds `stale-if-error=86400` to the `Cache-Control` header set on the
rendered app shell (`/`) in
[src/server/RenderHtml.ts](src/server/RenderHtml.ts). This lets shared
caches (CloudFlare, nginx `proxy_cache`) keep serving the last good
`index.html` for up to 24h if origin returns a 5xx, alongside the
existing `stale-while-revalidate` window.
Pairs with enabling HTML caching for the `/` route on CloudFlare in
"respect origin headers" mode — it already honors `s-maxage` (5 min edge
TTL) and `stale-while-revalidate`; this just extends the same safety net
to origin-error cases.
No behavior change for successful responses; browsers still revalidate
every load via `max-age=0`.

The preview was calling assignTeams without friend data, so the
team layout shown in the lobby could differ from the layout the
game actually started with. Wire friends through ClientInfo so
the preview matches.
Extract the publicId→clientID translation used by both start()
and gameInfo() into buildFriendsLookup() to remove the duplicate.
Fixes#3911
## Description:
- Server captures `publicId` and `friends` from `getUserMe()` and
includes each player's in-game friend `clientID`s in `PlayerSchema` on
game start
- Team assignment treats friends as a **soft preference** (best-effort):
a non-clan player goes to the team where the most of their friends
already are; if that team is full they spill to the next-emptiest team
rather than getting kicked
- Clans remain strict (kick overflow) since clan membership is an
explicit opt-in; friends are implicit, so a friend-of-friend chain that
doesn't fit shouldn't bench anyone
- Friendship is symmetric — an edge from either direction counts, which
keeps things working when one side's `getUserMe` is stale
- Lobby preview unchanged — friend grouping only takes effect once the
game actually starts (avoids exposing friend lists in the lobby payload)

relates to #893
Replaces the canvas2D + Pixi.js map renderer with a pure WebGL2 pipeline.
Map-space visuals (terrain, names, structures, units, FX, selection
boxes, build ghosts, status icons, nuke trajectories, defense zones,
spawn glow, water-nuke terrain deltas) all render through dedicated
passes in src/client/render/gl/passes/. Controllers in
src/client/controllers/ push state directly to the WebGL view; no
relay events. Assets unified under resources/ + assetUrl(). Mode
toggle wired to the existing darkMode UserSetting (no more day/night
cycle). One input system (InputHandler + EventBus + TransformHandler).
Known regressions to address in follow-up work:
- [ ] webgl: highlight structures when hover on build menu
- [ ] webgl: custom flags, flag atlas
- [ ] webgl: territory patterns
- [ ] webgl: defense post outline
- [ ] webgl: territory expanse smoothing
resources/atlases/ wasn't in the manifest glob list, so the build
skipped hashing/copying it into static/_assets/ and the deploy
pipeline's R2 uploader had no keys for it — atlases 404'd on staging.

The catch block in sendStartGameMsg() re-throws the error, which means a
single client's WebSocket failure (e.g. disconnected during game start)
propagates up and can crash the entire game server. The start() method
calls sendStartGameMsg() in a forEach loop over all clients, so one bad
client kills the game for everyone.
Changes:
- Added readyState check before sending
- Replaced re-throw with structured error logging
- A single client failure now logs the error and continues gracefully

### 1. `SPECIAL_MODIFIER_POOL` rebalanced
Ticket weights adjusted to roughly track the community "favorite
modifier" poll
<img width="486" height="724" alt="Screenshot 2026-05-11 210740"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bb1d2461-beb3-41c0-8d7b-b604db5fc033"
/>
- `isRandomSpawn`: 2 to 4
- `goldMultiplier`: 4 to 6
- `isWaterNukes`: 3 to 4
- `startingGold25M`: 1 to 3
- `startingGold5M`: 5 to 4
- `startingGold1M`: 3 to 2
### 2. New `SPECIAL_TEAM_MAPS` config
Replaces the hardcoded per-map branches in `getTeamCount` and
`buildMapsList`. Each entry maps a `GameMapType` to its preferred
`TeamCountConfig`. Shared constants:
- `SPECIAL_TEAM_FORCE_CHANCE = 0.75` (probability of overriding the
random team weights roll)
- `SPECIAL_TEAM_FREQ_MULTIPLIER = 2` (frequency boost in the team
playlist)
Current entries: Baikal (2), FourIslands (4), Luna (2). Behavior
preserved for the existing maps, but adding another special team map is
now a one-line entry.
### 3. New `FULL_LAND_MAPS` config (TheBox, Alps)
- Water nukes forced on 75% of the time in the special rotation
(overrides `WATER_NUKES_BOOSTED_MAPS`, which still applies its 50% boost
to FourIslands, Baikal, Luna, ArchipelagoSea). Because they make a lot
of fun on these two maps.
- The `isPortsDisabled` modifier is excluded unless water nukes is
boosted on, since ports are pointless on full-land maps. Because this
happened:

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cd9ce31d-25d0-4b35-a8ba-bb3ec1c02b70"
/>
### 4. Misc
- Renamed `frequency` constant to `FREQUENCY` for consistency with other
module-level constants.
### 5. Exclude `isNukesDisabled` on special team maps in team mode
On `SPECIAL_TEAM_MAPS` (FourIslands, Baikal, Luna) in team mode, the
`isNukesDisabled` modifier is now excluded from the pool. Otherwise an
extreme warship spam will follow.

## Description:
This is a refactor to simplify config handling.
Replaces the per-environment DevConfig/PreprodConfig/ProdConfig class
hierarchy with two static classes: ClientEnv (browser main thread, reads
from window.BOOTSTRAP_CONFIG) and ServerEnv (Node server, reads from
process.env). The four config classes are deleted, the abstract
DefaultServerConfig is gone, and DefaultConfig is renamed to Config.
The values that flow server → client (gameEnv, numWorkers,
turnstileSiteKey, jwtAudience, instanceId) used to be baked into the
hardcoded per-env classes. They're now real env vars on the server,
embedded into a single window.BOOTSTRAP_CONFIG object in index.html at
request time (alongside the existing gitCommit/assetManifest/cdnBase
globals, which moved into the same object), and read back by ClientEnv
on the client. The dev defaults previously hidden inside DevServerConfig
are now explicit in start:server-dev (NUM_WORKERS=2,
TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY=1x..., JWT_AUDIENCE=localhost, etc.) and in
vite.config.ts's html plugin inject.data. Production deploys plumb
NUM_WORKERS and TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY through deploy.yml (GitHub vars) into
the remote env file; JWT_AUDIENCE is derived from DOMAIN in deploy.sh.
The dynamic /api/instance endpoint is gone — INSTANCE_ID rides along in
BOOTSTRAP_CONFIG now.
ServerEnv is the only thing server code touches; ClientEnv is
browser-only. The two classes have intentional overlap (env, numWorkers,
jwtIssuer, gameCreationRate, workerIndex, etc.) since they derive
identical logic from different sources — there's a TODO in each to
consolidate via a shared helper later. The game-logic Config no longer
stores a ServerConfig/ClientEnv reference and its serverConfig() getter
is gone; the one caller (MultiTabModal) now reads ClientEnv.env()
directly. Worker init no longer carries server-config values since
nothing in the worker actually reads them.

## Description:
**Adds "The Straits" map:**
A map located around Denmark and the many surrounding straits: Kattegat,
Skagerrak and the Danish straits (thus the name, meant to be a creative
name like "Between Two Seas" and "Gateway to the Atlantic"). This map is
themed in the early 1900s, the nations/NPCs are traditional and
historical regions of Sweden-Norway, Denmark and the Germany.
Relatively small map with ~700k land tiles, similar to World

## Description:
Only mentioning removals/major updates/notable changes below, not all
minor upgrades.
### Removed:
- "@aws-sdk/client-s3": not used anywhere (was used in Archive.ts
previously)
- chai, "@types/chai", sinon-chai: not used anywhere, probably leftover.
Vitest uses a bundled version of Chai for its expect asserations under
the hood too.
- protobufjs, "@types/google-protobuf": not used anywhere, probably left
from evan's experiment with it? Removed from vite.config.ts too.
- "@types/jquery": not used anywhere, probably leftover
- sinon, "@types/sinon": not used anywhere just like chai, probably
leftover. And Vitest provides us with the same functionality.
- "@types/systeminformation": dependency systeminformation was removed
last year, this is an unneeded, deprecated and unmaintained remainder.
- vite-tsconfig-paths: removed, and removed the import and usage in
vite.config.ts and replaced it by adding `tsconfigPaths: true` to the
`resolve` block. Because of this message displayed on running the tests:
"The plugin "vite-tsconfig-paths" is detected. Vite now supports
tsconfig paths resolution natively via the resolve.tsconfigPaths option.
You can remove the plugin and set resolve.tsconfigPaths: true in your
Vite config instead."
- vite-plugin-static-copy: removed, we don't use it anymore (was used in
our vite.config.ts once,, probably before Vite natively supported
copying static assets via its publicDir configuration)
### Updated:
- color.js: v0.5 > v0.6, no breaking change affecting us
- cross-env: v7 > v10. It's a publicly archived repo since Nov 2025. But
before that he got it up-to-date from June 2025, porting to TS, dropping
old Node versions, dependencies etc. Seems still good to use for some
amount of time to come.
- dotenv: v16 > v17, now logs an informational message by default when
it loads an environment file. Can be disabled by using
dotenv.config({quite: true}) if needed.
- ejs: v3 > v5: security patches mostly. Vite still uses v3 btw.
- eslint: v9 > v10. Newly enabled rules by default:
'no-unassigned-vars', 'no-useless-assignment' and
'preserve-caught-error'. Mostly faster and minimum support moved to
higher node versions, which shouldn't be a problem.
- "@eslint/compat": v1 > v2. Minimum supported Node versions, which
should not be a problem.
- intl-messageformat: v10 > v11 no breaking changes that affect us
- jdom: v27 > v29. Faster. Most notably minimum support moved to higher
node v22 version, which should not be a problem. Also, see types/node,
kind of expecting v24 to be installed now.
- nanoid: from v3 to v5, no breaking changes that affect us
- "@opentelemetry/sdk-logs": now that addLogRecordProcessor is removed,
changed Logger.ts to pass an (empty) provider array directly to the
LoggerProvider constructor. Follows the changes in
https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/pull/5588
- "@tailwindcss/vite": supports vite v8 from 4.2.2, and a fix for it in
4.2.4
- tailwindcss: supports vite v8 from 4.2.2
-- in 4.1.15 (we were already above this version) break-words was
deprecated in favor of wrap-break-word. But break-words, which we use in
15 places, will still work as expected
(https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/pull/19157). Same goes for
also deprecated "order-none".
- "@types/node": from v22 to v24, assuming most now use node 24
- vite v7 > v8:
-- is now on 8.0.10 so first bugs are out of it, while v8 itself also
fixed a big number of bugs.
-- in vite.config.ts, fixed Ts error/compilation issue by changing the
manualChunks option in build.rollupOptions.output to use the function
syntax, which is required by the updated types instead of the object
syntax.
- zod: no changes that affect us
### Prettier:
Updated only because of (new because of update?) Prettier errors for
files untouched in this PR originally:
- PathFinder.Parabola.ts
- WorkerMessages.ts
- ClanModal.handlers.test.ts
- ClanModal.rendering.test.ts
- CONTRIBUTING.md
- README.md
### ESLint:
Fixes needed to silence errors coming from newly enabled recommended
rules 'no-useless-assignment' and 'preserve-caught-error':
For 'no-useless-assignment' (default assignment never used because of
unreachable code or they are guaranteed to get a value, so they can be
undefinedat the start. Exception was AttackExecution, so made the
default value of 0 the default case in the switch statement):
- ClientGameRunner
- GameModeSelector
- NameBoxCalculator
- StructureDrawingUtils
- TerritoryLayer
- Diagnostics
- GameRunner
- ColorAllocator
- DefaultConfig
- AttackExecution
- AiAttackBehavior
- Worker.worker
- GamePreviewBuilder
For 'preserve-caught-error', disabled the rule here because the possible
fix `{cause: error}` was introduced in ES2022 while we're still on
target ES2020 currently:
- GameServer
- Privilege
_Error: The value assigned to 'gameMap' is not used in subsequent
statements. (no-useless-assignment)

statements. (no-useless-assignment)
Error: The value assigned to 'description' is not used in subsequent
statements. (no-useless-assignment)
Error: There is no `cause` attached to the symptom error being thrown.
(preserve-caught-error)
Error: There is no `cause` attached to the symptom error being thrown.
(preserve-caught-error)_
All tests pass. TypeScript and ESLint errors resolved.

## Description:
Starting v32 maps right now!
Adds map of the Middle East. Probably one of the most highly requested
maps.
Very large map (3.4M land pixels, similar to Two Lakes, would become the
2nd or 3rd largest map by land area) of the arabian peninsula and
surrounding regions.
This map has both huge areas of land without water access full of desert
terrain, and massive trade chokepoints, which combined will result in
crazy endgames.
The theme of this map are historical, based on the end of WW1.
Historical flags have been added for the nation NPCs to use.
(High map rotation of 8 since this is probably going to become one of
the most popular maps given the relevancy of the region in real life.)

## Description
Re-enables Turnstile verification (was temporarily disabled in v31 to
diagnose intermittent `invalid-input-response` rejections) and moves the
verification call off the game servers.
Game servers no longer hold `TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY` or hit
`challenges.cloudflare.com` directly. Instead they POST to
`${jwtIssuer}/turnstile` on the api-worker (authenticated with the
existing `apiKey`), which holds the secret and proxies to Cloudflare.
Shrinks blast radius and removes the secret from every game host + GH
Actions workflow.
Response from the api-worker is Zod-validated; null tokens short-circuit
to `rejected` locally.

## Description:
`MapLandTiles` was fetching map manifests via HTTP at
`http://localhost:3000/maps/<map>/manifest.json`. This stopped working
after PR #3494 moved all public assets from stable paths (e.g.
`/maps/...`) to content-hashed paths under `/_assets/...`. The master
server no longer serves `/maps/` -- requests fell through to the SPA
handler, returned `index.html`, failed JSON parsing, and silently fell
back to the default `1_000_000` land tile count.
With 1M tiles, `calculateMapPlayerCounts` produces `[50, 40, 25]`
instead of the real values (e.g. `[185, 140, 95]` for Alps), causing all
public lobbies to be capped at 25-50 players regardless of map.
Fixes this by reading map manifests directly from disk instead of via
HTTP:
- In production: resolves the source path through
`getRuntimeAssetManifest()` to the hashed file under `static/_assets/`,
then reads it with `fs.readFile`.
- In dev: falls back to `resources/maps/<name>/manifest.json` directly
(the Dockerfile removes `resources/maps` in production, so this branch
only runs locally).
Also adds an in-process cache so each map manifest is only read once per
server lifetime.
Verified that it works on
https://fix-map-land-tiles-asset-manifest.openfront.dev/ and locally.

Previously, winnerVotes was keyed only on winner, so a client could send the correct winner with spoofed allPlayersStats and have their vote count toward the majority. The key is now a SHA-256 hash of both winner and allPlayersStats together, so any stats divergence produces a distinct key that must independently reach majority.
When the winner is confirmed, the log now includes votesByKey — a summary of every distinct key, its vote count, and winner value — making stat manipulation visible in the logs.

ArchipelagoSea is a very "special" map with the extreme amount of tiny
