Drop what nothing uses any more: the --max-syllables flag with its
sourceSpec field, meta row and reject reason; the store's clearRejection;
the --gap CSS token; three orphaned i18n strings; two exports with no
importer; the preview npm script; the proto.yml "baseline exists" step
that has been unconditionally true since the schema landed on main; and
two root-level .gitignore entries for paths Playwright never writes.
Correct text that outlived its subject: NOTICE named a tools/ directory
that never existed, the README still pointed at the first plan and
carried a migration note for retired sources, and a few comments still
said "release" for an upstream that is a weekly export. The pin test
header now says three copies and also holds README and ATTRIBUTION to
the same URL; the Make-targets table lists clean and help.
Wire fixtures regenerated so client_hello uses the ProtocolVersion
constant and server_game_started carries the 30s turn limit.
builder_version becomes 4 for the dropped meta row.
A room holds up to four people and needs two to start. Both numbers are
server constants sent to the client in RoomState, so the lobby draws
whatever the server allows and widening a room is a server change alone.
Failing a turn eliminates that player rather than ending the game. The
syllable and the used words survive them, the turn passes to whoever is
next, and the last player standing wins. Two seats is that same rule seen
from close up, which is why there is one implementation of it and not two.
A dead end still costs the first player to face it their own clock, as
before: they get their turn, and lose it. Everyone behind them has already
seen that board, so they go out together rather than each sitting out a turn
limit they cannot use — which leaves the player who closed the position
standing, the same outcome two players get.
A player who is knocked out keeps their seat. They watch the rest of the
game, chat included, with only the word input gone, and everybody lands back
in the same lobby when it ends. The result screen is the whole table, ranked
by who outlasted whom, with each score reported beside the place rather than
deciding it.
The turn clock is deliberately not paused for a seat that has dropped, so a
player who loses their connection on their own turn loses it the way anybody
else would. Their reconnect window decides only whether they are still in the
game afterwards. Any number of windows can be open at once, settled by one
timer armed for the nearest of them.
Starting waits for every guest, not merely the first: a room of four that
began on one yes would have dealt three people a turn they never agreed to.
Kicking names a seat and is still refused on a player who is ready, and on
the owner's own — leaving is what an owner who wants out does, and it hands
the room on. Joining stays a lobby thing: a room with a game running turns a
latecomer away even with seats going spare, because there is no way to hand
somebody a game already in progress.
BREAKING CHANGE: RoomState, TurnUpdate and GameOver lose the fields that
could only ever describe a second player, OpponentLeft is retired in favour
of presence on RoomState, and suggestions move to the new PlayerEliminated —
they describe the position that beat a player, which by the end of a longer
game is nobody else's position. ProtocolVersion goes to 2, so a client built
against 1 is refused with a readable error rather than decoding a frame that
now means something else.
proto/noitu/v1/game.proto is the single source of truth for every WebSocket
message. buf generates Go types into server/gen and JavaScript types into
web/src/lib/proto; both trees are committed so building needs no codegen
toolchain.
The Go suite emits binary fixtures into proto/testdata and the JavaScript suite
decodes the same bytes, so the two generated clients are checked against one
artifact rather than against each other's assumptions. CI lints the schema,
rejects breaking changes against main, and fails when the committed generated
trees drift from the schema.
game.NumRejectReasons and game.NumEndReasons let the mapping tests prove every
engine reason has a wire value without guessing where the enum ends.
