expvar counters for connections, rooms, games, submissions by rejection
reason, eliminations, chat, joins and bot moves, served on a separate
debug address so they never sit on the public mux, plus one structured
word_rejected log line per refused word carrying the normalized word and
its link. GET /readyz flips to 503 while draining; SIGTERM stops new
rooms, waits up to NOITU_DRAIN_TIMEOUT for live games, then shuts down.
GET /version and the startup log carry the build's git describe.
Fuzz targets for the frame decoder, the text sanitizer and Vietnamese
normalization; the last one found that composing before lowercasing
could leave a non-NFC result, now recomposed after lowering.
CI runs on dev as well as main, gates gofmt and golangci-lint, tracks the
buf major instead of an exact pin, and dependabot watches every
ecosystem. The lint findings that had been hidden by the default
per-issue cap are fixed.
Reduce the 179 MB minhqnd/dictionary SQLite release to a ~3 MB game
wordlist: 48,216 Vietnamese words of two or more syllables, indexed by
first and last syllable with an out-degree table for dead-end detection.
Source schema is auto-detected rather than hardcoded, since it is someone
else's release artifact; explicit flags override it and are validated
against the real tables, because SQLite silently reads an unknown
double-quoted column as a string literal.
Accept a word only if every syllable fits Vietnamese phonotactics. An
alphabet check is not enough: "credit card" and "come out" use only
letters Vietnamese has, and the multilingual source tags them as
Vietnamese. Onset matching backtracks so the gi digraph does not swallow
the nucleus of common words like "gi", "gin" and "gi" (rust).
Record accepted spelling variants in an alias table rather than solving
tone placement at runtime. Tone shifting applies only to open oa/oe/uy
syllables, since "hoan" and "hoai" have a single correct spelling, and
"qu" is a consonant onset. The i/y alternation uses an onset allowlist
plus explicit pairs, because it is lexical rather than productive.
Variants are generated as a cross product over syllables so a word with
two variable syllables still offers the fully modern spelling.
Build to a temporary file and rename only after commit, so a failed run
cannot leave an empty database where a good one was, then re-open the
result and verify its invariants on disk.
