Summary

Phase 3 of docs/GameServerRefactor.md, fourth of six module extractions (previous: #5114, #5116, #5117, #5122, #5124, #5126). A pure move with no behaviour change — the golden wire snapshot is untouched.

  • src/server/Consensus.ts (new): the two IP-weighted majority votes the game runs over client claims. WinnerVotecast(msg, ip) keys the vote (a cancelled match's missing winner as "null"), tally(electorate) / tallyAmong(activeIPs) decide and remember it. LiveStatsVotecast(clientID, ip, stats, electorate) takes one vote per client per turn, ignores turns at or before the latest settled one, keeps at most twenty pending rounds, and reports whether the turn settled.
  • GameServer keeps what is the game's business, in the original order: the desync / kick guards, reportedWinner, the electorate (votingUniqueIPs, and the plain active-IP set for the shrink re-tally — preserved as-is), the logging and archiveGame. Net −50 lines.
  • Tests — the point of this PR: the last two archiveGame spies are gone. WinnerVoteRetally.test.ts, the GameServer half of LiveStats.test.ts, and ArchivePlayerRecord.test.ts no longer poke activeClients / allClients / gameStartInfo / _hasStarted into the server; they join real clients, start, vote over the wire (or go quiet, or desync via real hash reports) and read the record off the injected archive. Consensus.test.ts covers both votes directly, including the twenty-round window. Repo-wide (game as any) reach-ins 68 → 36 (from ~150 when this series began).

Test plan

  • npx vitest tests/server --run: 50 files / 509 tests green (was 47 / 487).
  • Golden snapshot (GameServerWire.test.ts.snap): unchanged.
  • Mutation checks: dropping the live-stats one-vote-per-client guard fails 3 tests; making the shrink re-tally count departed voters (result instead of resultAmong) fails 2, including the Security: 1v1 ranked winner consensus spoofing vulnerability #4136 cheater case. Both restored.
  • Full npm test: 31 failing files / 379 tests — identical to a pristine origin/main run (the pre-existing localStorage client failures); +12 passing.
  • tsc --noEmit, prettier, oxlint, eslint clean.

…Server

Phase 3 of docs/GameServerRefactor.md, fourth module. The two IP-weighted
majority votes the game runs over client claims move into
src/server/Consensus.ts:

- WinnerVote: cast(msg, ip) keys the vote (a cancelled match's missing
  winner as "null"), tally(electorate) and tallyAmong(activeIPs) decide it
  and remember the decision;
- LiveStatsVote: cast(clientID, ip, stats, electorate) takes one vote per
  client per turn, ignores turns at or before the latest settled one, keeps
  at most twenty pending rounds, and reports whether the turn settled.

GameServer keeps what is the game's business — the desync and kick guards,
reportedWinner, the electorate (votingUniqueIPs, and the plain active-IP set
for the shrink re-tally), the logging and archiveGame — in the original
order. No behaviour change: the golden wire snapshot is untouched.

Tests: Consensus.test.ts covers both votes directly. The last two archiveGame
spies are gone — WinnerVoteRetally.test.ts, the GameServer half of
LiveStats.test.ts and ArchivePlayerRecord.test.ts now join real clients,
start the game, vote over the wire (or go quiet, or desync) and read the
record off the injected archive instead of poking activeClients,
gameStartInfo, _hasStarted and friends into the server.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change extracts winner and live-stat consensus into Consensus.ts, wires both managers into GameServer, and replaces direct test internals with real lifecycle and WebSocket flows. The refactor plan documents Phase 3 completion.

Changes

Consensus extraction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Consensus managers and unit coverage
src/server/Consensus.ts, tests/server/Consensus.test.ts
Adds WinnerVote and LiveStatsVote with majority settlement, duplicate handling, retallying, stale-turn rejection, and bounded pending-round retention.
GameServer consensus wiring
src/server/GameServer.ts
Replaces local vote state with consensus managers for winner handling, live-stat handling, electorate changes, retrieval, and archive construction.
Wire-level lifecycle validation and refactor status
tests/server/ArchivePlayerRecord.test.ts, tests/server/LiveStats.test.ts, tests/server/WinnerVoteRetally.test.ts, docs/GameServerRefactor.md
Updates tests to use joined clients, game starts, WebSocket messages, timers, and archive records. Marks the consensus refactor phase complete.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6a01a

This refactor preserves the existing consensus flow overall, but delayed lower-numbered turns can currently displace newer pending rounds and publish stale live statistics; the bounded issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: No issues found — findings: 0 critical, 0 major, 0 minor.

This PR is a faithful, behavior-preserving extraction of WinnerVote and LiveStatsVote out of GameServer into the new src/server/Consensus.ts. Two independent CLAUDE.md compliance passes and two independent bug/security passes (diff-only and introduced-code-focused) were run in parallel; none surfaced a confirmed issue.

Checks performed:

  • CLAUDE.md compliance: No violations. No src/core files touched (test-coverage rule N/A). No user-facing strings added (only server-side log messages, which aren't UI text under the i18n rule). The rewritten tests (ArchivePlayerRecord.test.ts, LiveStats.test.ts, WinnerVoteRetally.test.ts) now drive the game through the real tests/util/GameServerHarness.ts helpers (real clients, real socket messages) instead of (game as any) reach-ins, consistent with this repo's testing guidance.
  • Correctness: Verified Consensus.ts line-by-line against the code it replaces — key derivation, majority-tally logic (tally/tallyAmong vs. the original result/resultAmong), the electorate-shrink re-tally path, the LiveStatsVote per-turn/per-client vote guard, and the 20-round pruning window all match the original semantics exactly. No stale references to removed fields (winnerVotes, liveStatsVotes, latestLiveStats, etc.) remain anywhere in src/ or tests/.
  • A couple of pre-existing quirks (e.g. checkWinnerAfterElectorateShrink's active-IP set including spectators, unlike votingUniqueIPs()) were noted but are carried over unchanged from main, not introduced by this diff, so they aren't flagged as findings here.

No changes requested.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Prune pending rounds by numeric turn, not arrival order.

Map preserves insertion order. It does not preserve turn order across client sockets. If turns 1 through 20 arrive first and a delayed turn 0 arrives later, prune() removes turn 1 and retains turn 0. A majority for turn 0 can then replace the current live stats with stale data.

  • src/server/Consensus.ts#L99-L104: reject a turn below the retained numeric window, or remove the lowest numeric turn. Do not continue with a newly created entry if pruning removed it.
  • tests/server/Consensus.test.ts#L130-L142: add a delayed lower-turn case after newer turns are pending. Verify that it cannot evict a newer round or settle stale live stats.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Use setup() for these server tests.

These tests bypass the required map-backed setup() fixture. tests/server/WinnerVoteRetally.test.ts also drives mocked WebSockets through GameServerHarness.

  • tests/server/Consensus.test.ts#L17-L67: exercise winner consensus through the configured simulation fixture instead of constructing WinnerVote directly.
  • tests/server/Consensus.test.ts#L69-L155: exercise live-stat consensus through the configured simulation fixture instead of constructing LiveStatsVote directly.
  • tests/server/WinnerVoteRetally.test.ts#L40-L55: replace the GameServerHarness and mock WebSocket fixture with setup() and real simulation interactions.

As per coding guidelines: “Tests use a setup() helper from tests/util/Setup.ts” and must “exercise the core simulation directly — not mocks.”

## Summary

Phase 3 of `docs/GameServerRefactor.md`, fifth of six module extractions
(previous: #5114, #5116, #5117, #5122, #5124, #5126, #5142). A pure move
with no behaviour change — the golden wire snapshot is untouched and
`HostedLobbyListing.test.ts` (1,055 lines) passes unmodified.

- **`src/server/ListingState.ts`** (new): a private lobby's presence in
the public lobby browser — `listed` / `listedAt` / `label` / `accent` /
`featured` — together with the two rules that live on those fields: a
repeated listing must not push the auto-start deadline back, and a
featured lobby gets the longer deadline. Label sanitisation stays at
this boundary, so no unsanitised text can exist on a game.
- **`GameServer`** keeps thin public delegates (`isListed`, `setListed`,
`autoStartAt`, `isFeatured`, `lobbyLabel`, `lobbyAccent`, `setFeatured`)
since Worker, AdminBotRoutes and WorkerLobbyService call them, and
`maybeAutoStartListed`, which is lifecycle. Three read sites re-pointed:
`updateGameConfig`'s whitelist → delist check, the wire start info's
`listed`, and `gameInfo`. Net −31 lines; three imports pruned.
- **`tests/server/ListingState.test.ts`** (new, 7 tests): deadline dated
from the moment of listing, repeat listing doesn't extend it,
delist/relist restarts it, featured deadline, label sanitised at the
boundary (control characters stripped, whitespace collapsed; the label
renders as text so markup-looking characters are kept), empty label
stored as absent.

## Test plan

- `npx vitest tests/server --run`: 51 files / 516 tests green (was 50 /
509).
- Golden snapshot (`GameServerWire.test.ts.snap`): unchanged.
- Mutation check: removing the duplicate-toggle guard in `setListed`
fails 2 tests (`ListingState` and `HostedLobbyListing`); restored.
- Full `npm test`: 31 failing files / 379 tests — identical to the
pristine `origin/main` baseline (the pre-existing `localStorage` client
failures); +7 passing.
- `tsc --noEmit`, prettier, oxlint, eslint clean.

## Summary

Phase 3 of `docs/GameServerRefactor.md`, sixth and last module
extraction (previous: #5114, #5116, #5117, #5122, #5124, #5126, #5142,
#5143). A pure move with no behaviour change — the golden wire snapshot
is untouched and `MatchTelemetryIntegration.test.ts` passes unmodified.

- **`src/server/MatchTelemetryRecorder.ts`** (new): one match's view of
the telemetry stream. `emit` builds the envelope (`schemaVersion`,
`matchId`, per-match `sequence`, `observedAt`, `serverTick`); a throwing
emitter counts as a drop and still consumes a sequence number, so gaps
mark drops. `intentObserved` / `takeTickCounts` keep the per-tick
counters `turn_committed` reports; `noteArchiveAttempted` and
`matchFinished` (once, however many times `end()` runs) cover the end of
the match. `identityFor`, which keeps `persistentID` out of telemetry,
is an exported function.
- **`GameServer`**: four fields and four private methods gone; every
emit site passes `turns.length` explicitly where the old `emitTelemetry`
default applied. Net −68 lines.
- **`tests/server/MatchTelemetryRecorder.test.ts`** (new, 7 tests):
envelope/sequence/tick, the sequence gap a drop leaves, per-tick
counters split by verdict, zero counts and clearing on take,
finished-once with the archive flag, `identityFor` never carrying the
persistentID.

With this, Phase 3 is complete: six modules in six PRs, golden snapshot
unchanged throughout. `GameServer.ts` is 1,944 lines (from 2,365) and
test reach-ins are 36 (from ~150), none of them spies on private
methods; what remains is lifecycle and ingress state, which Phases 5–6
own.

## Test plan

- `npx vitest tests/server --run`: 52 files / 522 tests green (was 51 /
516).
- Golden snapshot (`GameServerWire.test.ts.snap`): unchanged.
- Mutation check: removing the finished-once guard in `matchFinished`
fails 1 test; restored.
- Full `npm test`: 31 failing files / 379 tests — identical to the
pristine `origin/main` baseline (the pre-existing `localStorage` client
failures); +6 passing.
- `tsc --noEmit`, prettier, oxlint, eslint clean.
