WebSocket server:
- WS auth via Better Auth session on upgrade request
- Router with discriminated union dispatch and two-layer error handling
- In-memory connections map with broadcastToLobby
- Lobby handlers: join, leave, start
- Game handlers: answer, resolve round, end game, game:ready for state sync
- Shared game state store (LobbyGameStore interface + InMemory impl)
- Timer map separate from store for Valkey-readiness
REST API:
- POST /api/v1/lobbies — create lobby + add host as first player
- POST /api/v1/lobbies/:code/join — atomic join with capacity/status checks
- getLobbyWithPlayers added to model for id-based lookup
Frontend:
- WsClient class with typed on/off, connect/disconnect, isConnected
- WsProvider owns connection lifecycle (connect/disconnect/isConnected state)
- WsConnector component triggers connection at multiplayer layout mount
- Lobby waiting room: live player list, copyable code, host Start button
- Game view: reuses QuestionCard, game:ready on mount, round results
- MultiplayerScoreScreen: sorted scores, winner highlight, tie handling
- Vite proxy: /ws and /api proxied to localhost:3000 for dev cookie fix
Tests:
- lobbyService.test.ts: create, join, retry, idempotency, full lobby
- auth.test.ts: 401 reject, upgrade success, 500 on error
- router.test.ts: dispatch all message types, error handling
- vitest.config.ts: exclude dist folder
Fixes:
- server.ts: server.listen() instead of app.listen() for WS support
- StrictMode removed from main.tsx (incompatible with WS lifecycle)
- getLobbyWithPlayers(id) added for handleLobbyStart lookup
- Add Vite proxy for /api → localhost:3000 (no CORS needed in dev)
- Create /play route with hardcoded game settings (en→it, nouns, easy)
- Three-phase state machine: loading → playing → finished
- Show prompt, optional gloss, and 4 answer buttons per question
- Submit answers to /api/v1/game/answer, show correct/wrong feedback
- Manual Next button to advance after answering
- Score screen on completion
- Add selectedOptionId to AnswerResult schema (discovered during
frontend work that the result needs to be self-contained for
rendering feedback without separate client state)
Intentionally unstyled — component extraction and polish come next.
