Fixes #7836.

What

Three mechanisms, all causal — no polling loop anywhere:

  1. P2P host adapter: the local stateChanged emit moves BEFORE the fallible AI-loop/persistence steps (case "action" / case "interaction"). The guests are already served at that point; a throw in a later step must not cost the host its own update — that asymmetry (guest plays on, host frozen on the mulligan-wait overlay) is the reported incident.
  2. Delivery sites (2× multiplayerDraftStore, 3× GameProvider): a rejected processRemoteUpdate is logged and answered with ONE immediate adapter re-sync instead of being swallowed — a caught rejection is positive knowledge that exactly one update was lost.
  3. staleStateWatchdog: every committed snapshot arms ONE deferred check (10 s); the next commit replaces it; a check that finds screen and adapter in agreement disarms — nothing runs again until the next commit. A persistent divergence re-commits the adapter snapshot through the ordinary dispatch pipeline (mutex and the seq commit gate still apply). Steady state costs nothing.

The adapter is always the newest state the client holds (a host asks its own engine, a guest holds the last inbound state), so recovery needs no wire traffic.

Evidence

new vitest 5 — heal-after-delay, no-polling pin (a silent divergence after a clean check must NOT be picked up), arm-replacement (no stacking), immediate resync, empty-store no-op
counter-probes 3 — each mechanism removed fails exactly its own test; a smuggled-in re-arm poller fails exactly the no-polling pin
full client suite 3188 pass / 0 fail (node 22, matching CI)

Not proven

The original live incident end-to-end (it needs a real P2P match; the healing mechanism is proven through the real dispatch pipeline in the tests instead). A guest whose wire delivery never ARRIVES stays the reconnect machinery's job (#7725) — this PR heals deliveries that reached the client and were then lost.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added improved multiplayer draft recovery, including guest resumption and clearer recovery outcomes.
    • Draft picks can support multiple cards, and Commander decks can designate commanders before launching a multiplayer game.
    • Added automatic recovery for stale or divergent game states across supported modes.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved multiplayer synchronization when updates are delayed, rejected, or missed.
    • Host screens now remain updated even when guest delivery fails.
    • Improved reconnect validation and error details for peer-to-peer sessions.
  • Tests
    • Added comprehensive coverage for stale-state detection, recovery, and watchdog behavior.

…s#7836)

A delivery whose processing rejects is gone — nothing retries it — so the
screen freezes on the previous state while the engine and every other
client move on (observed: pod-draft match host stuck on the mulligan-wait
overlay while the guest played on).

- p2p host: emit the local stateChanged BEFORE the fallible AI-loop and
  persistence steps — the guests are already served at that point, so a
  throw in either step must not cost the host its own update.
- delivery sites (draft store, GameProvider): surface a rejected
  processRemoteUpdate via debugLog and re-sync immediately from the
  adapter's snapshot instead of swallowing it.
- staleStateWatchdog: event-armed one-shot divergence check. Every commit
  arms ONE deferred check (10s); the next commit replaces it; a clean
  check disarms. No polling — steady state runs nothing, pinned by test.

Not covered: a guest whose wire delivery never arrives (that remains the
reconnect machinery's job), and the original incident end-to-end (needs a
live P2P match — the healing mechanism is proven through the real
dispatch pipeline in the tests instead).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The client adds stale-state recovery, ordered P2P state delivery, and guarded multiplayer draft lifecycle handling. Remote update failures now log and trigger safe resynchronization.

Changes

State Delivery Recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Watchdog and dispatch coordination
client/src/game/dispatch.ts, client/src/game/staleStateWatchdog.ts
The watchdog waits for idle dispatch, compares state fingerprints, recommits adapter snapshots, and guards checks during teardown.
Watchdog integration and delivery recovery
client/src/game/controllers/gameLoopController.ts, client/src/providers/GameProvider.tsx, client/src/game/__tests__/staleStateWatchdog.test.ts
The game loop manages the watchdog. Providers catch rejected updates. Tests cover recovery, failure logging, lifecycle invalidation, and no-op conditions.
P2P snapshot ordering and rejection handling
client/src/adapter/p2p-adapter.ts, client/src/adapter/__tests__/p2p-adapter-multiplayer.test.ts
P2P paths publish the host snapshot before guest fan-out. Engine rejections remain action failures, while post-apply delivery failures are logged without reporting the applied action as failed.

Multiplayer Draft Lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Adapter ownership and draft resumption
client/src/stores/multiplayerDraftStore.ts
Draft setup and teardown use abort signals, adapter epochs, ownership checks, persisted guest resumption, and explicit recovery outcomes.
Draft submission and Commander launch
client/src/stores/multiplayerDraftStore.ts
Draft picks support multiple card IDs, deck submission records commanders, and Commander pods stage generated decks before navigation.
Draft state and rejection handling
client/src/stores/multiplayerDraftStore.ts
Structured intergame rejections update the command ledger. Authoritative views control phase changes. Remote delivery failures trigger safe resynchronization.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3af72

The PR adds recovery for missed state updates and moves host publication earlier, but an applied guest action can still leave that guest stale when post-apply delivery fails, while concurrent host mutations may pair events with a newer snapshot. These multiplayer consistency risks require explicit resolution or owner acceptance before merge; one reconnect rejection path also still exposes unlocalized text.

2501-2518: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Emit the host snapshot before guest fan-out.

The new local emit still follows await this.broadcastStateUpdate(...) at Line 2500 and Line 2545. If guest fan-out or a viewer snapshot read rejects after the engine action succeeds, control reaches the surrounding catch before the host receives stateChanged. The host can remain on the previous screen, and the acting guest can receive action_rejected for an applied action. Capture the host snapshot and emit it immediately after the engine submission. Run guest fan-out as a separate delivery step.

- resyncFromAdapter recommits unconditionally on positive knowledge: the
  lost update may change only state outside the coarse fingerprint (a
  land play alters just a hand and the battlefield), and the display
  layer must not judge game-state equality. The store's commit gate
  still orders the commit.
- a rejected deferred check now logs and re-arms (only while active) —
  before, `void check().finally` dropped the rejection, so the watchdog
  stayed disarmed on exactly the screen it exists to heal.
- the five delivery-failure sites route through resyncFromAdapterSafely,
  which logs a rejected resync instead of leaking an unhandled rejection.

Known gap (unchanged): the deferred check still detects divergence via
the coarse fingerprint; the complete detector is an engine-owned state
revision surfaced through every transport — an engine + protocol
follow-up.

- resyncFromAdapter captures the adapter before its await and drops the
  snapshot when the store swapped games meanwhile — the same guard the
  deferred check already carries; without it a slow old-adapter read
  could commit its state over the new game.
- a lifecycle generation: stop() bumps it, an in-flight check re-reads
  it after its await — a check that outlives its watchdog neither
  recommits nor re-arms, even when the adapter identity is unchanged.

Extend the typed reasonCode to the remaining reconnect rejections.

The new switch localizes four reasons. The undefined arm returns message.reason verbatim.

The host still sends raw reasons on these paths: "Wrong P2P session" (Line 2767), "Player kicked" (Line 2772), "Unknown token" (Line 2784), "No grace window active for this seat" (Line 2790), "Reconnect already in progress" (Line 2798), and the failPendingReconnect strings (Line 2915). Each is frontend-authored text and reaches the user unlocalized.

Add a reasonCode for each of these in the reconnect_rejected arm of P2PMessage, then add the matching i18n.t arms here. The undefined arm can then remain only as the compatibility path for an older host.

This also removes the documented raw-string exception at Lines 1619-1627, because the version reasons already carry typed codes and version metadata.

As per path instructions, frontend-authored user-facing text must route through t().

Extract the duplicated delivery-rejection handler.

Lines 1211-1216 and 1302-1307 are identical, including the comment. The PR adds the same block at further delivery sites, so the reason string and the log text can drift between copies.

Add one module-level helper and call it from both handlers. Each site then also merges into the existing stateChanged branch instead of opening a second if on the same condition.

♻️ Proposed helper
/**
 * A rejected delivery is otherwise gone and the screen freezes on the previous
 * state — surface it and re-sync immediately. `resyncFromAdapterSafely`
 * absorbs its own rejection, so this never escapes as an unhandled rejection.
 */
function commitMatchUpdate(
  snapshot: EngineSnapshot,
  events: GameEvent[],
  logEntries?: GameLogEntry[],
): void {
  processRemoteUpdate(snapshot, events, logEntries).catch((err) => {
    debugLog(`draft-match remote update failed: ${err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err)}`);
    void resyncFromAdapterSafely("delivery rejected");
  });
}

Then at each site:

           if (event.type === "stateChanged") {
-            processRemoteUpdate(event.snapshot, event.events, event.logEntries).catch((err) => {
-              // A rejected delivery is otherwise gone and the screen freezes
-              // on the previous state — surface it and re-sync immediately.
-              debugLog(`draft-match remote update failed: ${err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err)}`);
-              resyncFromAdapterSafely("delivery rejected");
-            });
-          }
-          if (event.type === "stateChanged") {
+            commitMatchUpdate(event.snapshot, event.events, event.logEntries);
             const wf = event.snapshot.state?.waiting_for;

As per coding guidelines, reuse existing watchdog, dispatch, adapter, and remote-update helpers rather than duplicating recovery logic.

Why it matters: after submitAction / submitInteraction has applied, a guest fan-out failure reaches the surrounding catch before the host emits its snapshot, so the host remains stale and the acting guest receives an action failure for an already-applied action. Suggested fix: capture and emit the host snapshot immediately after the successful engine submission, before the broadcast in both branches, and add an adapter-level regression that makes guest broadcast fail while asserting the host receives stateChanged and no applied action is reported as failed.

[MED] The added tests do not exercise the reported P2P host failure path. Evidence: client/src/game/__tests__/staleStateWatchdog.test.ts:39-44 explicitly says the original incident is not covered; its fixtures mock processRemoteUpdate, while the faulty ordering is in P2PHostAdapter. Why it matters: the watchdog tests can all pass with both host branches still ordered after broadcastStateUpdate. Suggested fix: cover the adapter event sequence above; it should fail if the pre-broadcast host emission is reverted.

`broadcastStateUpdate` awaits `wasm.getViewerSnapshot(pid)` per guest and
closes on `commitTerminalIfComplete`, and every caller runs it inside a
`try`. With the host's own `stateChanged` emitted after it, either rejection
left the host on a board its own engine had already advanced, and the acting
guest was told an applied action had failed.

`publishHostSnapshot` carries that ordering once and runs before the fan-out
at all four paired sites, not only the two reported: both guest branches, the
AI loop, and `concedePlayer` — whose `playerConceded`/`playerKicked` notice
moves with it, since the concession has applied by then too. The two guest
branches also split their `try`: only an engine refusal reaches the guest as
an action failure, because past a successful submission the action HAS
applied and a delivery error is not a rejection.

Precise about the failure that is not in that set: a dead guest channel is
not one. `trySend` resolves `false` for a closed channel, an encode error, or
a throwing `conn.send` (`network/peer.ts:69-106`), so a broken link degrades
the fan-out silently rather than rejecting it. The ordering matters for the
per-viewer snapshot and the terminal commit.

Not covered: the host's own `submitAction` / `submitInteraction` /
`submitAiActionProposal` keep the old order — they reject into the local
dispatch chain, where this PR's watchdog is the stated recovery, and changing
their contract to swallow a fan-out failure is a separate decision. And if
`getSnapshot` itself throws, guests stay on their last delivered state until
the next successful delivery; the watchdog does not close that gap, because a
guest whose adapter cache and screen hold the same stale state shows no
divergence.

Regression: `P2PHostAdapter — host emission precedes the guest fan-out`, one
case per guest branch. Each scripts a `getViewerSnapshot` rejection and
asserts the host still emits `stateChanged` while the guest receives neither
`action_rejected` nor `action_failed`. Counter-probe: moving either emission
back after the fan-out turns both red.

`tsc --noEmit` clean, ESLint clean, full vitest 3548 passed / 0 failed
(container, Node 22). Verified in a live two-machine P2P game.

Both findings addressed at f4a624b51. One correction to my own premise below, because the reordering is right for a different reason than the PR text claimed.

[HIGH] — host emission before the fan-out. publishHostSnapshot now carries the ordering once and runs before broadcastStateUpdate. Not at the two sites reported, at four: both guest branches (p2p-adapter.ts:2682, :2733), the AI loop (:1468), and concedePlayer (:3121, whose playerConceded/playerKicked notice moves with it — the concession has applied by then too).

The two guest branches also split their try. Only an engine refusal answers the guest with actionFailureFrame; past a successful submission the action HAS applied, so a delivery error is logged, not reported as a rejection.

Correction to the premise. The PR text said a dead guest link makes the fan-out reject. It does not: trySend resolves false for a closed channel, an encode error, or a throwing conn.send (network/peer.ts:69-106), so a broken link degrades the fan-out silently. The two real rejection sources are wasm.getViewerSnapshot(pid) per guest and the closing commitTerminalIfComplete — which is what the regressions script.

[MED] — adversarial regression. P2PHostAdapter — host emission precedes the guest fan-out, one case per guest branch. Each scripts a getViewerSnapshot rejection and asserts the host still emits stateChanged while the guest receives neither action_rejected nor action_failed. Counter-probe: moving either emission back after the fan-out turns both red (expected false to be true on the stateChanged assertion).

Not covered

  • The host's own submitAction / submitInteraction / submitAiActionProposal keep the old order. They reject into the local dispatch chain, where this PR's watchdog is the stated recovery; changing their contract to swallow a fan-out failure is a separate decision.
  • If getSnapshot itself throws, guests stay on their last delivered state until the next successful delivery. The watchdog does not close that gap: a guest whose adapter cache and screen hold the same stale state shows no divergence.
  • handleNativeRevision still emits after its fan-out, but only send can fail there and send never rejects — no reachable consequence.

Verification. tsc --noEmit clean, ESLint clean, full vitest 4090 passed / 0 failed (Node 22). Verified in a live two-machine P2P game: host and guest stayed in step across land plays, casts, priority passes, and a concession.

The head also merges current origin/main; the previous push was rejected by the coverage gate because the branch trailed main by 38 commits, not from any change here — this PR touches only client/src/**.

Blocked — the guest-action ordering fix is sound, but the new local publication step can now suppress the required guest delivery.

🔴 Blocker

[HIGH] A failed host snapshot read prevents every guest from receiving an already-applied action. Evidence: client/src/adapter/p2p-adapter.ts:2355-2362 awaits wasm.getSnapshot() before emitting, and both successful guest submission paths call it before broadcastStateUpdate at :2671-2673 and :2708-2712. The outer catches at :2679-2681 / :2714-2716 then stop before any fan-out. The guest watchdog cannot recover because its adapter cache never received the state (client/src/game/staleStateWatchdog.ts:55-63,75-85). Catch and log local publication failure inside publishHostSnapshot, then continue fan-out; add the regression where getSnapshot rejects while getViewerSnapshot succeeds and assert a guest state_update.

Recommendation: request changes on f4a624b5154528d4ecb6327f3972cda61e43bf82 for that failure isolation and regression.

…an-out

Moving the host emission ahead of the fan-out put a second failure in front
of it: `publishHostSnapshot` awaits `wasm.getSnapshot()`, and its rejection
reached the caller's `catch` before `broadcastStateUpdate` ever ran. Every
guest then missed an action the engine had already applied, and their
watchdog cannot recover a state their adapter cache never held —
`staleStateWatchdog` compares screen against that cache, and an undelivered
update leaves both equally stale.

The publication now catches and logs its own failure. It never rejects, so
the caller always reaches the fan-out. Neither side can starve the other on
this path.

Regression: `still serves the guests when the host's own snapshot read
fails` — `getSnapshot` rejects while `getViewerSnapshot` succeeds; the guest
must receive `state_update` and no failure frame. Counter-probe: removing the
`try` turns it red.

All three tests in this group gained a reach guard: the injected rejection
sets a flag and each test asserts it was consumed. Without it, the assertions
are also the picture of a completely healthy run, so an injection that stopped
being reached would leave the tests green and measuring nothing.

Not covered, and now named in the code rather than implied: the symmetry stops
at the guest-message paths. The host's own `submitAction` / `submitInteraction`
still await the fan-out without a `try`, so a rejection there aborts before the
host commits its own applied action and leaves the remaining guests unserved.
Changing that means changing a public adapter contract, which is a separate
decision from this PR.

Fixed at 3af729e69. The blocker was real and it was mine: moving the emission ahead of the fan-out put a second failure in front of it, and the PR text named that as a known gap instead of closing it.

[HIGH] — failure isolation. publishHostSnapshot now wraps its read and emission in a try and logs on failure (p2p-adapter.ts:2355-2372). It never rejects, so every caller reaches broadcastStateUpdate regardless. Your reasoning about the watchdog is what settles it: the guest's adapter cache and its screen are the same stale state when a delivery never arrives, so there is nothing for the divergence check to find.

Regression. still serves the guests when the host's own snapshot read failsgetSnapshot rejects while getViewerSnapshot succeeds; the guest must receive state_update and no failure frame. Counter-probe: removing the try turns it red on the state_update assertion.

Reach guards added to all three tests in the group. Without one, every assertion in the new test is also the picture of a completely healthy run: an injection that stopped being reached would leave it green and measuring nothing. The injected rejection now sets a flag and each test asserts injection.consumed(). This applies to the two tests from the previous round as well, not only the new one.

Named rather than fixed — the symmetry stops at the guest-message paths. The host's own submitAction / submitInteraction (p2p-adapter.ts:2065, :2089) still await the fan-out without a try. A rejection there propagates into the local dispatch chain and returns before its commit step, so the host never commits its own already-applied action and the remaining guests go unserved — the same shape you flagged, on the path this PR does not touch. Isolating it means changing what those public adapter methods promise their caller, which I did not want to decide inside this PR. The contract note on publishHostSnapshot now states this limit instead of claiming symmetry it does not have.

Verification. tsc --noEmit clean, ESLint clean, full vitest 4091 passed / 0 failed (Node 22). The head also merges current origin/main.

2691-2693: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Recover a guest after post-apply fan-out failure.

If broadcastStateUpdate rejects after the engine applies a guest action or interaction, these catches only log the error. A rejected getViewerSnapshot(pid) stops fan-out before that guest receives state_update. The guest adapter then retains the old snapshot, so the watchdog cannot detect or repair the stale screen.

Schedule an idempotent current-snapshot recovery for affected guests. Add a regression test that injects getViewerSnapshot failure and verifies eventual guest recovery without sending action_failed.

  • client/src/adapter/p2p-adapter.ts#L2691-L2693: recover the affected guest after an applied action delivery failure.
  • client/src/adapter/p2p-adapter.ts#L2726-L2728: use the same recovery path after an applied interaction delivery failure.

Blocked — local host publication now recovers, but a viewer-snapshot/fan-out failure can still strand guests after an applied action.

🔴 Blocker

[HIGH] An already-applied guest action or interaction can leave a guest permanently stale after delivery fails. Evidence: client/src/adapter/p2p-adapter.ts:2313-2326 awaits wasm.getViewerSnapshot(pid) serially for each guest, while post-apply paths at :2683-2693 and :2720-2728 only log a rejected broadcastStateUpdate. A rejection aborts the remaining fan-out; the watchdog compares against the guest’s unchanged adapter cache and cannot discover the missed update. Add idempotent host-side retry/recovery (or revision/ack-based delivery) and an adapter regression where getViewerSnapshot fails yet the guest eventually receives state_update without action_failed.

Recommendation: repair the post-apply delivery contract, settle the detector scope, and re-run on a current base.
