## 1. Project Overview
A vocabulary trainer for EnglishItalian words. The quiz format is Duolingo-style: one word is shown as a prompt, and the user picks the correct translation from four choices (1 correct + 3 distractors of the same part-of-speech). The long-term vision is a multiplayer competitive game, but the MVP is a polished singleplayer experience.

Show word → pick answer → see result → next word → final score

**Goal:** A working, presentable singleplayer quiz that can be shown to real people.

### What is IN the MVP

- Clean, mobile-friendly UI (Tailwind + shadcn/ui)
- Global error handler with typed error classes
- Unit + integration tests for the API
- Local dev only (no deployment for MVP)
- Authentication via Better Auth (Google + GitHub)
- Multiplayer lobby + game over WebSockets
- Production deployment (Docker Compose + Caddy + Hetzner) and CI/CD (Forgejo Actions)
### What is CUT from the MVP
| Feature | Why cut |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Authentication (Better Auth) | No user accounts needed for a demo |
| Multiplayer (WebSockets, rooms) | Core quiz works without it |
| Valkey / Redis cache | Only needed for multiplayer room state |
| Deployment to Hetzner | Ship to people locally first |
| User stats / profiles | Needs auth |
These are not deleted from the plan — they are deferred. The architecture is already designed to support them. See Section 11 (Post-MVP Ladder).

### Multiplayer Architecture (deferred)
### Multiplayer Architecture (current + deferred)
- WebSocket protocol: `ws` library, Zod discriminated union for message types
- Room model: human-readable codes (e.g. `WOLF-42`), not matchmaking queue
- Game mechanic: simultaneous answers, 15-second server timer, all players see same question
- Valkey for ephemeral room state, PostgreSQL for durable records
**Implemented now:**
- WebSocket protocol uses the `ws` library with a Zod discriminated union for message types (defined in `packages/shared`)
- Room model uses human-readable codes (no matchmaking queue)
- Lobby flow (create/join/leave) is real-time over WS, backed by PostgreSQL for durable membership/state
- Multiplayer game flow is real-time: host starts, all players see the same question, answers are collected simultaneously, with a server-enforced 15s timer and live scoring
- WebSocket connections are authenticated (Better Auth session validation on upgrade)
**Deferred / hardening:**
- Valkey-backed ephemeral state (room/game/session store) where in-memory state becomes a bottleneck
- Graceful reconnect/resume flows and more robust failure handling (tracked in Phase 7)
