This PR changes the ranked 1vs1 config to use the original format
(tournaments and openfront 1vs1 club):
https://discord.com/channels/1359946986937258015/1463178945108246757
(Reasoning in the discord thread)
But I still think we need a **1vs1 "party mode"**. With nations, ALL our
small maps, and sometimes compact maps. Maybe even sometimes with 5M
starting gold.
- Offering it to all 1vs1 players below a specific ELO count is probably
not the best idea: Some people will avoid getting too much ELO, others
will hate it until they have enough ELO.
- Offering another matchmaking queue might be an idea, but might cause
too much complexity (needs its own ELO system and its own leaderboard).
- A solution could be: Offer 1vs1 party games without ELO in the
upcoming new "special" rotation (Collect 20 players and put them into 10
games)

## Description:
Adds 30 seconds of PVP immunity to 5M starting gold modifier games.
So you cannot insta-nuke other players.
Because I'm sure people would be confused "I cannot attack!!!!" I added
a HeadsUpMessage which informs about the PVP immunity.
We already have a ImmunityTimer progress bar but I don't think its
enough.

I had a second count in the HeadsUpMessage (seconds until PVP immunity
is over) but it felt too busy. So I removed it. You can tell when PVP
immunity is over by looking at the progress bar.

## Description:
**3 problems:**
* Nation difficulty steps in `DefaultConfig` don't look good (max
troops: 0.5 → 1 → 1.125 → 1.25).
* We previously reduced the difficulty of easy nations for singleplayer,
but now they are too easy for public FFAs.
* In Discord we discussed HvN difficulty and concluded that a 50% human
win rate (my previous target) is too low; nations should be easier.
This PR addresses all of them:
* Difficulty steps in `DefaultConfig` are now cleaner (max troops: 0.5 →
0.75 → 1 → 1.25).
* Nation difficulty in public-game FFAs is restored to *medium* (0.75
max troops - still weaker than humans, but not too weak).
* HvN difficulty (medium) is now easier.
Regarding singleplayer:
These rebalances make nation difficulties more beginner-friendly, while
experts still have their challenge at *Impossible*.

So I thought why not make another one, this time a bit focused on
traders (tiny islands to trademaxx)
And two big islands (about 50% of the map land tiles). So its big
islands vs small islands.

## Description:
Currently only the master process sends public lobby updates to clients.
This is not scalable since it could overload the master process.
In this PR, the master uses IPC to send public lobby info to all
workers. Then clients connect to a random worker to get public lobby
updates via websocket. This way clients never connect directly to the
master websocket.
The flow looks like this:
Every 100ms:
1. Master schedules a public game on a random worker if new games are
needed
2. Master broadcasts public lobby info to all workers (all public games
& num clients connected to each game)
3. Each worker responds to that update with the number of clients
connected to its own public games
4. Master then updates its public lobby state so it knows how many
clients are connected to each public game

To increase variety a bit more I present: The "crowded" public game
modifier :)
It basically simulates a crazy youtuber lobby. Cramp a lot of players on
a small map 😄
I think its fun, exciting and you actually need skill to manage the
chaos.
5% of public games get this modifier, but because we remove the modifier
for big maps its more like 2.5% (should be something special)

In GameManager.tick(), when a game becomes active but hasn't started, a
setTimeout for game.start() is scheduled with a 2-second delay. If the
game finishes or is cancelled within those 2 seconds, game.end() is
called, which clears the existing interval. However:
1.The 2-second timeout still fires. game.start() executes.
2. A NEW setInterval is created for turn execution.
3.Since the game is already ending/finished, it's removed from
GameManager.games, but the interval continues to run forever in the
background

## Description:
1. In JoinPrivateLobbyModal the nation count loading was missing. That
caused the team preview UI to show different player counts compared to
the HostLobbyModal. For example it showed 0/0 nations for the
HumansVsNations team mode (instead of 2/2):

2. Turn down HvN difficulty from Impossible to Hard.
We steamrolled over Hard nations in the playtest (at least in two of the
three games) because we donated lots of troops to each other.
But after some API data research I noticed that only 33% of players in
public team games ever use the donate functionality.
And we probably have less skilled players in public games than in the
playtest.
So its probably better to use the Hard difficulty to ensure balanced
gameplay.
I know, I'm overthinking this 😂

## Description:
We might want to add this to v29 to have a third possible public game
modifier from the beginning on 😄 Would be fun
- Add starting gold option (0 to 1_000_000_000 allowed, also applies to
nations)
- Add gold multiplier option (0.1 to 1000 allowed, also applies to
nations and bots)
- Add third public game modifier (3% chance of starting with 5M gold)
- Why 5M? It's enough gold to massively change the game start but not
enough to insta-hydro someone (launcher + hydro is 6M)

Resolves#2868
## Description:
This PR addresses a critical memory leak in the Master server process
(causing ~30GB RAM usage).
The issue was caused by `setInterval` calling `fetchLobbies()` every
100ms. When `fetchLobbies` took longer than 100ms to complete (due to
network latency or load), requests would pile up indefinitely, creating
a massive queue of pending Promises and open sockets.
I have refactored the polling logic into a generic `startPolling`
utility (in `src/server/PollingLoop.ts`) that uses a recursive
`setTimeout` pattern. This ensures that the next `fetchLobbies` call is
only scheduled *after* the previous one has completed (successfully or
failed), preventing any request pile-up.

## Description:
Changes URL embeds within other platforms, e.g. Discord, WhatsApp & X.
Updates game URLs to `/game/<code>` instead of `/#join=<code>` (required
for embedded URLs). An added benefit of this is that you would be able
to change a url from `openfront.io/game/RQDUy8nP?replay` to
`api.openfront.io/game/RQDUy8nP?replay` (add api. In front) and be in
the right place for the API data.
Updates URLs when joining/leaving private lobbies
Appends a random string to the end of the URL when inside a private
lobby and options change - this is to force discord to update the
embedded details.
Updates URL in different game states to ?lobby / ?live and ?replay.
These do nothing other than being used as a _cache-busting_ solution.

## 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.

## Description:
The calculation is based on: 50 players per 1_000_000 land tiles,
limited at 125 players because of performance
Second number is 75% of that, third one 50%
That way, the player counts are staying mostly the same
Look at the "Dynamic Config" column, these are the new player counts:
(The 125 players limit is missing in that column, only relevant for the
twolakes map)

Discussed that with Lewis.
Fuze liked the Didier map without the real france more...
So here it is. It won't get added to the playlist, the france version
stays in the playlist.
(Unrelated: Also quickly changed "Europe (classic)" to Europe (Classic)"
to match with "Britannia (Classic)")

- Added `generateUniqueNationName()` to `NationCreation` because I saw a
duplicate name while spawning 300 nations on Pangaea 😄
- Switched HumansVsNations public game difficulty from hard to

humans are (in an enzo HVN stream).
Maybe I have to make nations donate troops to each other, we will see...
Playtests won't tell the truth because the players attending these are
probably better than the usual OF player. I will try to check the HVN
winrate via API after launch

## Description:
Added a public game modifier system. It causes that
5% of public games are played on the compact version of the map
10% of public games have "Random Spawn" activated
Percentages can easily get changed via `DefaultConfig`.
We can also easily add more modifiers.
Modifiers can stack, so in rare cases you will play on a compact map
with random spawn 😄
More variety!
### "Compact Map" modifier implementation
- With the "Compact Map" modifier the lobby max player count gets
reduced to 25% and only 25% of the regular bots and only 25% of the
regular nations will spawn (because the map has only 25% of its regular
size)
- In private lobbies and singleplayer the nation reduction happens too
(When "Compact Map" is enabled).
### Restrictions
- Duos/Trios/Quads team modes do not get Random Spawn (defeats the
purpose)
- Maps with smallest player count < 50 do not get Compact Map in team
games (not enough players after the reduction to 25%). I have calculated
all the possible max player counts.
### How it looks like
Random Spawn modifier:
<img width="528" height="183" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-06 194959"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2f729da9-80c3-4548-8205-71129da2a76a"
/>
Very rare case: Two modifiers at the same time and only 10 max players
have been chosen from `[GameMapType.FaroeIslands]: [20, 15, 10]`.
Because of the 75% reduction in player count only 3 players are allowed
(3 is the minimum). I think its funny that you can play a 1v1v1 in rare
occasions 😄
<img width="526" height="184" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-06 194938"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/834326eb-df03-41b7-b1db-1efa3f1013b5"
/>
### Funny side-effect
Team games with random spawn. That will be interesting. No more "Who is
better in donating troops to the frontline". Instead you have to heavily
coordinate with your teammates.
