fix(mp): stop hosting from doubling the engine's memory footprint - #7398
Conversation
Hosting a P2P game reloaded the page on memory-constrained devices (iOS), consistently and before any guest joined. The multiplayer page warms the shared engine worker's ~100MB card database on mount, then `P2PHostAdapter` constructed its own `WasmAdapter` — a second worker, a second WASM instance, and (once the AI-seat loop called `applySeatMutation`, which awaited `ensureCardDb`) a second resident copy of that database. On iOS the main thread and every worker share one web-content-process budget, so the second copy was not free headroom. Route the host through `getSharedAdapter()` when `isMemoryConstrainedDevice()` says the trade is worth it: one worker, slower under contention but not heavier. Everywhere else keeps its private adapter. Sharing an engine means two flows can install a game into it, so the claim has to be arbitrated. Doing that in the client would need a probe followed by an install — two worker round-trips with a window between them, and on a cold database both flows await the *same* `cardDbPromise`, so they rendezvous on one resolution and both post `initialize_game`. The loser's game is destroyed. So the engine arbitrates instead. `initialize_multiplayer_host_game` refuses an engine that already holds a game; `initialize_game` refuses one a host session owns; both run inside the same synchronous worker task as the install, so nothing can interleave. The multiplayer flag is claimed on the line after the state install (`claim_engine_for`), mirroring `resume_multiplayer_host_state` — so a failed init can never leave the flag set on an engine it never took. Because a refusal now leaves the engine byte-for-byte untouched, the client's compensating logic goes away: no probe, no `setMultiplayerMode(true)`, and no flag hand-back on the error path. The catch converts to `claimed: false` rather than disappearing, which keeps the private-adapter worker disposal and the typed "disposed during start" error. Refusals surface as `AdapterErrorCode.ENGINE_OCCUPIED` through a single `classifyInitFailure` authority, so a local-direction refusal cannot reach the user mislabeled as "Deck validation failed". Engine guard logic lives in `init_guard`/`claim_engine_for` — plain functions over the two thread-locals, covered by native tests in the `engine-wasm` package. Note that Tilt's `test-engine` runs `-p phase-engine` and does not execute them; CI's `--workspace` run does.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds atomic multiplayer host-game initialization across the WASM engine, worker protocol, and adapters. It tracks shared-engine ownership, classifies initialization failures, and makes host disposal claim-aware. Tests cover engine occupancy, lifecycle races, cleanup, and disposed-host behavior.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Use mockReset so an unconsumed mockRejectedValueOnce cannot leak.
Line 253 queues a one-shot rejection with mockRejectedValueOnce. mockClear clears call records but keeps queued one-shot implementations. If a test fails before it consumes that queued rejection, the next test starts with a rejecting host-start.
client/src/adapter/__tests__/p2p-adapter-multiplayer.test.ts at Line 322 already uses mockReset for this mock and documents the reason. Match it here. The mock is declared as vi.fn(impl), so mockReset restores the default implementation and the explicit re-implementation becomes unnecessary.
💚 Proposed fix
- mocks.initializeMultiplayerHostGame.mockClear();
- mocks.initializeMultiplayerHostGame.mockImplementation(async () => ({ events: [] }));
+ // `mockReset`, not `mockClear`: this mock carries per-test
+ // `mockRejectedValueOnce` overrides, and only `mockReset` drops an

Assert the propagated code, not only the message text.
This test constructs the fixture with AdapterErrorCode.ENGINE_OCCUPIED, then asserts only on the message with a regex. The assertion passes even if startPregameGameInner re-wraps the refusal and drops the code. The typed discriminator is the contract this PR adds, so pin it.

InitSessionKind is dispatched non-exhaustively in both new guard helpers. Neither helper lets the compiler catch a new variant: init_guard ends in _ => Ok(()) and claim_engine_for tests equality against one variant. A third session kind would compile, skip its install guard, and skip its claim, with no compiler signal.
