Summary

Phase 0 of a phased plan to make src/server/GameServer.ts (2,365 lines, 13 responsibilities) testable and then split it up. No production code changes — this PR is test infrastructure plus the plan itself, so later extraction PRs have a regression net.

  • docs/GameServerRefactor.md — the plan as a living checklist: diagnosis (≈150 (game as any) reach-ins, 6 files mocking the Schemas module, 13 copies of makeMockWs, hidden deps on archive/fetchCustomTribes/ServerEnv), principles, and six phases (harness → characterization tests → dependency injection → pure-module extraction → roster → ingress/lifecycle).
  • tests/util/GameServerHarness.ts — one mockLogger(), a drivable makeMockWs() (emit(ClientMessage), trigger("close"), sent(ctx)), makeClient(opts) with distinct-IP defaults, makeGame(opts), and startGame() that runs the real prestart()+start() instead of flipping _hasStarted. cid("p1")"p1000000" gives schema-valid ids.
  • Deleted every vi.mock("../../src/core/Schemas") (6 → 0). They existed only because fixture ids like "p1" failed the 8-char ID regex; with valid ids the real GameStartInfoSchema now runs in those tests.
  • Golden wire transcript (tests/server/GameServerWire.test.ts + snapshot): joins incl. a rejected 5th and a spectator, lobby edits, start, spawns, pause/unpause, hash agreement and a desync, socket drop + rejoin from turn 5, live-stats and winner consensus, archive, end. Every server frame per client, the HTTP lobby view, liveStats() and the archived record are snapshotted. A refactor that leaves this untouched cannot have changed client-visible behaviour.
  • tests/util/Wire.ts decode helpers take an optional zbin dictionary context so post-start (dictionary-encoded) frames decode. Several migrated tests now assert on the wire (spectate/winner messages, the start frame) instead of private state — reach-ins ≈150 → 82.

Two pre-existing quirks noticed and deliberately left alone: the desync message counts spectators in totalActiveClients, and end() doesn't await archive() so its try/catch can't see a rejected upload.

Test plan

  • npx vitest tests/server --run: 41 files / 403 tests green (was 40 / 402).
  • Full npm test: 30 failing files, identical to a pristine git archive HEAD run (all client tests hitting localStorage undefined in this environment — unrelated).
  • prettier, oxlint, eslint on changed files clean; tsc --noEmit clean.
  • Snapshot contents verified by hand: 1 desync frame (to the disagreeing client), 1 full-lobby error, 84 turn frames (21 turns × 4 sockets), old socket closed on rejoin, reconnect start frame carries turns from 5.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

…or plan

Phase 0 of docs/GameServerRefactor.md. No production code changes.

- tests/util/GameServerHarness.ts: shared mockLogger/makeMockWs/makeClient/
  makeGame/startGame and cid() for schema-valid 8-char ids, replacing 13
  per-file copies.
- Fixture ids are now schema-valid, so the six tests that mocked the Schemas
  module to get past GameStartInfoSchema no longer need to.
- tests/server/GameServerWire.test.ts: a scripted game whose per-client
  server frames, lobby view, live stats and archived record are snapshotted.
  A refactor that leaves the snapshot untouched has not changed the wire.
- Wire.ts decode helpers accept the zbin dictionary context so post-start
  frames can be read.
- Several tests assert on the wire (spectate/winner messages, start frame)
  instead of private state: (game as any) reach-ins ~150 -> 82.

Walkthrough

The PR adds shared GameServer test fixtures, migrates server tests to public behavior and socket events, adds a golden wire transcript, extends frame decoding, and documents a six-phase GameServer refactor plan.

Changes

GameServer test refactor

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared test foundation
tests/util/GameServerHarness.ts, tests/util/Wire.ts
Shared helpers now create valid clients, games, loggers, WebSockets, and lifecycle fixtures. Wire helpers accept optional dictionary context for server-frame decoding.
Golden wire transcript
tests/server/GameServerWire.test.ts
A scripted integration test snapshots lobby, gameplay, synchronization, consensus, shutdown, socket, and archive behavior.
Lifecycle and roster test migration
tests/server/AdminBotRoster.test.ts, tests/server/CreateNextLobby.test.ts, tests/server/GameLifecycle.test.ts, tests/server/GameServerTribes.test.ts, tests/server/HostedLobbyListing.test.ts
Tests use shared fixtures, public state, real lobby-to-game startup, and asynchronous WebSocket close events.
Join and admission test migration
tests/server/AllowlistJoin.test.ts, tests/server/KickPlayerAuthorization.test.ts, tests/server/MatchmakingCancel.test.ts, tests/server/SpectatorJoin.test.ts, tests/server/TurnstileReadmit.test.ts
Tests use shared harness clients and games. Assertions use public game data and protocol messages.
Identity and telemetry test migration
tests/server/AnonymizeNames.test.ts, tests/server/AnonymizeNamesTeammates.test.ts, tests/server/MatchTelemetryIntegration.test.ts
Tests replace local clients, WebSockets, and logger mocks with shared harness utilities.
Refactor plan
docs/GameServerRefactor.md
The document records current responsibilities, completed test infrastructure, constraints, and six planned refactor phases.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to bc105

This PR adds server test infrastructure and documentation without changing production behavior. Merge readiness is generally good, but owners should confirm that the documented verification command is accurate and that the shared harness preserves the intended map-backed simulation setup so the new regression coverage remains trustworthy.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Solid test-infrastructure PR with the right intent (real code paths over ad-hoc mocks/reach-ins), but the new shared harness has three issues worth fixing before other PRs build on top of it — one makes a test assertion vacuous, one bakes a mock-only artifact into the new golden snapshot, and one is a latent id-collision trap. Findings: 1 high, 1 medium, 1 low.


tests/server/GameServerTribes.test.ts

[High] Empty-pool test no longer tests anything (lines ~122-129)

The last test ("does not set tribes when the pool comes back empty") was changed from:

game.prestart();
await flushMicrotasks();
game.start();

to:

startGame(game);   // = game.prestart(); game.start();  — nothing awaited between them
await flushMicrotasks();
expect(startInfo(game).tribes).toBeUndefined();

startGame() (in tests/util/GameServerHarness.ts) runs prestart() then start() back-to-back with no await in between. In src/server/GameServer.ts, prestart() fires fetchTribes() fire-and-forget, which only assigns this.tribes inside a .then() callback (a microtask). start() synchronously reads this.tribes into the immutable gameStartInfo object before that microtask can ever run. So tribes is guaranteed undefined at start() time regardless of what the mocked tribe pool resolves to — the assertion would pass even if the pool came back non-empty. The if (used.length > 0) empty-pool branch this test claims to cover is now unverified. The other four tests in this same file were correctly left with the prestart(); await flushMicrotasks(); start(); ordering, confirming the flush placement is load-bearing and this one test regressed.

Suggested fix: keep the original explicit ordering for this test (game.prestart(); await flushMicrotasks(); game.start();) instead of startGame(game).


tests/util/GameServerHarness.ts

[Medium] makeMockWs()'s readyState never transitions, baking a phantom double-close into the new golden snapshot (lines ~77-78)

send: vi.fn(),
close: vi.fn(),
readyState: 1,
OPEN: 1,

readyState is hardcoded to 1 (OPEN) and is never mutated by close() or by a triggered "close" event. GameServer.end() (src/server/GameServer.ts ~1666-1670) only calls .close() on sockets still in this.websockets (a set that's never pruned on disconnect) when ws.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN. In the new tests/server/GameServerWire.test.ts golden test, p3's original socket is closed once via rejoinClient() (GameServer.ts ~916-917, a bare client.ws.close()), but since the mock's readyState stays 1, end() later sees it as still OPEN and closes it again with [1000, "game has ended"]. This is visible in the committed snapshot tests/server/__snapshots__/GameServerWire.test.ts.snap, where closes.p3 has two entries ([[], [1000, "game has ended"]]) while every other client has exactly one. A real ws.WebSocket could never produce this — its readyState transitions to CLOSING/CLOSED on close, so end()'s guard would skip it. This mock-only artifact is now pinned into the "regression net" snapshot; a future refactor that correctly avoids the double-close would show up as a snapshot diff that looks like a regression but isn't.

Suggested fix: have close() and trigger("close") set readyState = 3 (CLOSED) before invoking listeners/the spy, then re-record the snapshot.

[Low] cid() collides on tags differing only by trailing digits, contradicting its own doc comment (lines ~25-33, default usage at ~106-113)

// A schema-valid 8-char id from a readable tag: cid("p1") === "p1000000".
// Throws rather than silently mangling a tag that cannot be made valid, so a
// collision between two tags cannot hide in a fixture.
export function cid(tag: string): string {
  if (!/^[A-Za-z0-9]{1,8}$/.test(tag)) {
    throw new Error(`cid: "${tag}" must be 1-8 alphanumerics`);
  }
  return tag.padEnd(8, "0");
}

Because padding uses the literal character "0", tags differing only by trailing zeros alias: cid("c1") === cid("c10") === cid("c100") === ... === "c1000000". This directly contradicts the comment's claim that "a collision between two tags cannot hide in a fixture." makeClient()'s default clientID is cid(\c${n}`)off a module-level, never-resetnextClientcounter, so the 1st and 10thmakeClient()calls in a file that both omitclientIDwould silently get identicalclientID/persistentID/username. No test in this PR currently hits this (every call site in this PR passes an explicit clientID), so it's latent rather than actively broken — but it's shared infrastructure future test authors will rely on, and SpectatorJoin.test.tsalready callscid("c1")throughcid("c5")` in a loop, one step away from tripping it.

Suggested fix: pad with a non-digit filler that can't collide with alphanumeric tag content in a way that aliases (e.g. reject tags containing the filler, or assert uniqueness of generated ids in a module-level Set).


No other issues found. CLAUDE.md compliance was checked independently by two reviewers — no violations (the PR is test/doc-only, touches no src/core, adds no user-facing text, and doesn't touch tests/util/Setup.ts's conventions).

- GameServerTribes: restore prestart -> flush -> start ordering in the
  empty-pool test; startGame() ran start() before the fetch resolved, so the
  assertion could not fail.
- Harness mock ws: close() and a triggered "close" now set readyState to
  CLOSED like the real socket, so GameServer.end()'s readyState guard behaves
  the same. Re-recorded the golden snapshot: p3's old socket is no longer
  closed a second time.
- cid(): a second tag that pads to an already-issued id now throws instead of
  silently aliasing ("c1" vs "c10"); makeClient's default ids are left-padded
  so counter values never alias.

Review round 1 — all three findings fixed in ad5e3b3:

  • [High] Tribes empty-pool test vacuous — restored the prestart(); await flushMicrotasks(); start() ordering. Confirmed the reasoning: start() snapshots this.tribes synchronously, so the flush has to sit between the two calls.
  • [Medium] mock readyState never left OPENclose() and trigger("close") now set readyState = 3. Re-recorded the golden snapshot; the only diff is the phantom second [1000, "game has ended"] close on p3's old socket disappearing.
  • [Low] cid() aliasingcid keeps a per-module id→tag map and throws when a different tag pads to an already-issued id; makeClient defaults now use left-padded counters (c0000001) so they cannot alias.

tests/server: 41 files / 403 tests green; oxlint, eslint, tsc --noEmit clean.

Build the shared fixture through setup().

makeGame() constructs a private GameServer directly. Tests under tests/**/*.ts must use setup() from tests/util/Setup.ts, which creates a full game instance with map data. Delegate to setup() here, or preserve that setup contract in the harness, so migrated tests exercise the full simulation.

As per coding guidelines: tests under tests/**/*.ts must use setup() from tests/util/Setup.ts and exercise the core simulation directly, not mocks.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: No issues found — this is a solid test-infrastructure-only PR (no production code changes). Findings: 0 high, 0 medium, 0 low.

No issues found. Checked for bugs and CLAUDE.md compliance.

Reviewed the final state of the diff (both commits — the fix-up commit ad5e3b3 already addresses the three issues raised in the prior review round: the vacuous tribes-pool assertion, the mock readyState never transitioning to CLOSED, and the cid() id-aliasing collision). Four independent passes (two for CLAUDE.md compliance, two for logic/security bugs) turned up nothing that met the high-signal bar. All changed files are under tests/ and docs/; no src/core, src/client, or src/server production code was touched.

Prettier's markdown output for an inline code span that wraps inside a list
item was not idempotent: --write produced one indentation, --check wanted the
other, failing the Prettier and gen-maps CI jobs. Rephrase the two items so no
code span crosses a line.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: No issues found — solid, self-contained test-infrastructure PR with no production code changes.

Findings: 0 total (0 critical, 0 high, 0 medium, 0 low)

Four independent review passes were run against the PR at its latest commit (bc10589):

  • Two CLAUDE.md compliance audits — confirmed no src/ files are touched (matching the PR's "no production code changes" claim), the tests/util/Setup.ts/core-simulation testing-pattern rule doesn't apply to these server-layer tests, and no other CLAUDE.md rule is implicated.
  • Two bug/logic/security scans of the diff — verified makeClient()/makeGame() argument ordering against the real Client/GameServer constructors, the cid() collision guard, the async trigger()/emit() semantics in the new mock WebSocket, and that migrated assertions (e.g. in AllowlistJoin.test.ts, GameLifecycle.test.ts, SpectatorJoin.test.ts) are still load-bearing rather than vacuous.

No high-confidence issues surfaced. Two minor, non-blocking observations that didn't meet the bar to flag as issues:

  • .gitignore: node_modules/node_modules is incidental churn left over from a self-corrected symlink commit; harmless but outside the PR's stated scope.
  • tests/server/SpectatorJoin.test.ts: the test titled "does not put a spectator's disconnect into the turn log" now asserts on join-time behavior rather than an actual disconnect; the underlying invariant is still covered via the same code path, so this wasn't flagged as a bug.

## Summary

Phase 1 of `docs/GameServerRefactor.md` (Phase 0 landed in #5114).
**Test-only** — no production code changes. Before the refactor moves
these paths into their own modules, they need tests that pin what they
do today; none of them had any.

- **`tests/server/GameServerJoin.test.ts`** — the prod-only
duplicate-session kick (the *old* connection is the one told to go), the
three-connections-per-IP cap for public games outside dev (and that it
does not apply to private games or in dev), a socket that is already
closed when it joins, and an undecodable frame → `invalid_message` kick
+ ban.
- **`tests/server/GameServerRejoin.test.ts`** — socket hand-over (old
one closed, seat count unchanged), the pre-start identity update, the
verified badge dropped only when the *username* changes, update ignored
once started, turn replay from `lastTurn`, and a mid-game drop keeping
its reconnect mapping.
- **`tests/server/GameServerPhase.test.ts`** — Lobby → Active → Finished
transitions, the full-lobby early exit, the 3h maximum, the 60s ping
prune, and the `mark_disconnected` intents the turn loop injects every
five turns (both directions; never for a spectator).
- **`tests/server/GameServerDesync.test.ts`** — `findOutOfSyncClients`
tallies (majority, no majority → everyone, even split, unreported turn,
single client) and the turn loop's one-time desync notice,
`numDesyncedClients()`, and agreed-hash recording.

Everything goes through the public API and the wire (decoded frames) —
no `(game as any)`.

**Suspected bug, pinned as current behaviour rather than fixed**
(documented in the plan doc for its own PR): a prod duplicate-session
kick calls `kickClient()` on the old connection, which bans the *shared*
persistentID — so the surviving session can no longer be looked up
(`getClientIdForPersistentId`) or reconnect.

## Test plan

- `npx vitest tests/server --run`: 45 files / 438 tests green (was 41 /
403).
- Because characterization tests passing first try proves little, each
file was checked against a hand mutation of the branch it covers in
`GameServer.ts` (5-turn boundary → 6, strict-majority `>` → `>=`,
identity update allowed after start, dup-session kick removed). Each
mutation failed 1–4 of the new tests; all reverted.
- prettier, oxlint, eslint, `tsc --noEmit` clean.

## Summary

Phase 2 of `docs/GameServerRefactor.md` (Phases 0–1: #5114, #5116).
First PR in the series that touches production code, and it is a
signature change only — no behaviour change (the golden wire snapshot's
frames are byte-identical).

- **`new GameServer(opts, deps?)`** replaces the 10-positional-argument
constructor. `GameServerOptions` is what the game *is* (id, log,
createdAt, config, creator, startsAt, publicGameType, matchmakingTeams).
`GameServerDeps` is what it reaches *outside* itself for: `archive`,
`fetchTribes`, `env`, `turnIntervalMs`, `telemetry`,
`telemetryBuildHash`, with `defaultGameServerDeps()` wiring the real
modules. `env`/`turnIntervalMs` are thunks so `ServerEnv` is read at use
time (existing `vi.spyOn(ServerEnv, "env")` tests keep working).
- **`GameManager.createGame`** — the only production caller — passes
just telemetry.
- **`archive` takes the partial record**; the default does
`archive(finalizeGameRecord(record))`. This deviates from the plan doc
deliberately: `finalizeGameRecord` calls `ServerEnv.gitCommit()`, which
**throws when `GIT_COMMIT` is unset**. Once the module mock was gone,
that throw landed inside `handleWinner`'s `catch` and silently dropped
the archive in a test — precisely the hidden-dependency trap this phase
exists to remove. Keeping the deployment stamp in the default dep means
tests receive the record as the game built it and never need a
`ServerEnv` spy.
- `prestart()` logs a malformed prestart message through the game logger
instead of `console.error`.
- **Tests:** the harness `makeGame` builds the new shape and defaults
`archive`/`fetchTribes` to inert spies (`deps: { archive }` to read the
record); all 11 direct-constructor test files rewritten; every `vi.mock`
of `Archive`/`CustomTribes` removed (5 → 0).

Still open, documented in the plan: `archiveGame` remains spied in
`WinnerVoteRetally` and `ArchivePlayerRecord`, which assemble game state
by hand rather than joining/starting — they get rewritten with Phase 3's
`Consensus` extraction.

## Test plan

- `npx vitest tests/server --run`: 45 files / 438 tests green (same
count as `main`).
- Golden snapshot
(`tests/server/__snapshots__/GameServerWire.test.ts.snap`): every frame
unchanged; the only diff is the three deployment stamps
(`gitCommit`/`subdomain`/`domain`) leaving the `archived` object, since
the test now sees the record before `finalizeGameRecord`.
- Full `npm test`: 30 failing files / 365 tests, identical to the
pre-existing `localStorage` baseline on `main`; 36 more passing than
before.
- `tsc --noEmit`, prettier, oxlint, eslint clean.
