## What The API now returns an explicit `canCreatePublicLobbies` boolean on `/users/@me` (player) and on each subscription tier in `cosmetics.json`. This PR gates public lobby listing on that entitlement instead of inferring it from subscription status (`active`/`trialing`), and advertises the perk on the store's subscription tiles. ## Changes **Entitlement check** - `UserMeResponseSchema` gains a required `canCreatePublicLobbies` boolean (same pattern as `unlimitedRanked`) - The worker's listing endpoint and `HostLobbyModal`'s Public toggle both check the boolean directly; the Dev bypass is unchanged - `hasActiveSubscription()` is removed — these were its only call sites - The server error stays `subscription_required` (subscribing is still how you get the entitlement; renaming would ripple through i18n for no behavior change) **Store** - `SubscriptionSchema` (cosmetics catalog) gains a required `canCreatePublicLobbies` boolean - Subscription tiles show a "Create public lobbies" badge below "Unlimited ranked" when the tier grants it (`cosmetics.public_lobbies` added to en.json) **Tests** - Schema tests for both new fields (accepts true, rejects missing, rejects non-boolean); `UserMeResponse` fixtures updated ## Deploy ordering Both new schema fields are required, so this client must deploy after the API serves them (same constraint as `unlimitedRanked` / infra#427). The API already returns both fields. ## Verified Typecheck, ESLint, and the affected test files pass (165 tests). Confirmed the live payloads against a local API: `/users/@me` returns `player.canCreatePublicLobbies` and both subscription tiers in `cosmetics.json` carry the field. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Install dependencies
npm run instDo NOT use

🎮 Running the Game
Development Mode
Run both the client and server in development mode with live reloading:
npm run dev
This will:
- Start the webpack dev server for the client
- Launch the game server with development settings
- Open the game in your default browser (to disable this behavior, set
SKIP_BROWSER_OPEN=truein your environment)
Client Only
To run just the client with hot reloading:
npm run start:client
Server Only
To run just the server with development settings:
npm run start:server-dev
Connecting to staging or production backends
Sometimes it's useful to connect to production servers when replaying a game, testing user profiles, purchases, or login flow.
To replay a production game, make sure you're on the same commit that the game you want to replay was executed on, you can find the
gitCommitvalue viahttps://api.openfront.io/game/[gameId]. Unfinished games cannot be replayed on localhost.
To connect to staging api servers:
npm run dev:staging
To connect to production api servers:
npm run dev:prod
