Summary

Blue/green deploys sit behind a Cloudflare load balancer. When the balancer flips, a player mid-game on the old deployment whose WebSocket drops reconnects through the balancer to the new deployment, where their game does not exist. This PR fixes that and folds in #4672.

  • Pin tabs to the deployment that served them. The server now injects serverHost = SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN (blue.openfront.io) into index.html. The client already honours serverHost (desktop path), so its WebSocket and game-API calls go straight to that host, reconnects included. The balancer only decides who serves the page; a tab stays on its color for life. Dev (no SUBDOMAIN) is unchanged (same-origin).
  • Drain mode for the inactive deployment. New optional SITE_HOST env (the balancer host, openfront.io). When set and different from the deployment's own host, the master polls https://SITE_HOST/api/health — which now reports instanceId — every 30 s and stops scheduling public lobbies when the answer is not itself. This stops people farming empty games on the retired color. Fail-open: an unreachable/unparseable answer never flips a deployment inactive. SITE_HOST is wired through deploy.sh and set only for the blue/green release jobs; beta/staging stay standalone.
  • CORS: the game API additionally allows https://SITE_HOST as an origin, since the page (openfront.io) is now cross-origin with its game server (blue.openfront.io).
  • Reject version-mismatched joins and prompt refresh on homepage after deploys #4672, ported to the binary wire: join/rejoin carry the bundle's gitCommit; the worker rejects mismatches with a typed version_mismatch error the client answers by reloading; the lobby feed's full snapshot advertises the server commit so stale homepage tabs refresh between games. With pinning, a mid-game rejoin lands on the same deployment, so the gate only fires for genuinely stale bundles. Reject version-mismatched joins and prompt refresh on homepage after deploys #4672's JSON-over-WebSocket e2e test is dropped rather than ported.

Deploy notes

  • Requires an infra change to take effect: blue.openfront.io / green.openfront.io currently redirect to openfront.io. That redirect must be limited to HTML routes (/, /index.html); /wN/* (WebSocket upgrades and /wN/api/*) and /api/* must pass through, including OPTIONS preflights. Until then the injected serverHost would be followed by a redirect and things get worse, not better — so land this only together with that change.
  • The old deployment must stay running until its games finish. It stops making lobbies on its own; "inactive + zero games" is the signal it's safe to redeploy onto.
  • The app shell is CDN-cached for up to 5 min (s-maxage=300), so a few new tabs may still land on the old color briefly after a flip. Harmless: that color is still up and only stops scheduling lobbies.
  • Same caveat as Reject version-mismatched joins and prompt refresh on homepage after deploys #4672: the first deploy carrying the join gate hard-cuts pre-feature tabs (they lack the reload handler).

Test plan

  • New tests: ActiveDeployment (health parsing, fail-open on 503/non-JSON/network error), MasterLobbyServiceActive (no createGame when inactive, resumes when active), ServerEnv.publicHost/siteHost, RenderHtml serverHost injection, GameApiCors site-origin allow/deny, ClientVersionSchemas (from Reject version-mismatched joins and prompt refresh on homepage after deploys #4672).
  • npx tsc --noEmit, npm run lint, full npm test: 337 + 59 test files pass.
  • Not exercised: real Cloudflare redirect/CORS behaviour — needs the infra change above.

Behind the blue/green load balancer a mid-game reconnect used to go through
the balancer to whichever deployment is now active, where the game does not
exist. The page now carries serverHost (SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN) so the client
talks to its own deployment directly, reconnects included.

The inactive deployment learns it is inactive by polling the site host's
/api/health (which now reports instanceId) and stops scheduling public
lobbies, so it cannot be farmed for empty games while it drains.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c984d

This PR pins sessions to deployments, drains inactive colors, and rejects incompatible clients. At the current head, active games may not recover from a version mismatch, and an in-flight scheduler operation may still publish a lobby after its deployment becomes inactive, potentially stranding players or creating work on a retired deployment. These bounded rollout-consistency issues and related test-harness gaps should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: No issues found. 0 blocking, 0 high, 0 medium, 0 low.

Reviewed for CLAUDE.md compliance (two independent passes) and for bugs/security issues (two independent passes, plus a validation pass on the one candidate finding).

Notes:

  • src/core/Schemas.ts changes (new optional gitCommit fields) are pure Zod additions — deterministic, no new deps, and covered by new tests in tests/ClientVersionSchemas.test.ts, satisfying the CLAUDE.md rule that all src/core changes include tests.
  • The new user-facing string (update_available.message) is routed through translateText() and added only to resources/lang/en.json, per the i18n rule.
  • One candidate issue was investigated and rejected after validation: adding the optional gitCommit field to ClientRejoinMessageSchema shifts that schema's zbin header from 0 to 1 byte, so a pre-feature client's rejoin frame won't cleanly hit the new version_mismatch gate on the first deploy. This turned out to be the documented, accepted zbin cross-version tradeoff (zbin/README.md: client and server ship together, no wire versioning), and the PR description already explicitly calls out "pre-feature tabs breaking on first deploy" as a known, accepted regression — so it isn't a new defect introduced by this PR.

No CLAUDE.md violations or high-confidence bugs identified in the reviewed diff.

1060-1069: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Handle version_mismatch after the game starts.

At Line 1116, Transport.updateCallback replaces the initial joinLobby handler. The new branch at Lines 342-347 then no longer handles active-game messages. The error branch at Lines 1060-1069 sends version_mismatch to the generic, non-closable showErrorModal, so a player reconnecting after a deployment does not receive the update alert or reload path.

Add the same update handling to the active-game error branch. Use one shared helper if possible.

This follows the handler replacement at Line 1116 and the version_mismatch contract for this cohort.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Recheck deployment activity after the config lookup.

If setActive(false) runs while await this.playlist.gameConfig(type) is pending, this invocation has already passed line 261 and still sends createGame when the promise resolves. This schedules a public lobby after drain mode starts.

Store the config, then check this.active again before sendMessageToWorker. Add a deferred-config test that changes activity to false before resolving the lookup.

Proposed fix
-      this.sendMessageToWorker({
+      const gameConfig = await this.playlist.gameConfig(type);
+      if (!this.active) return;
+
+      this.sendMessageToWorker({
         type: "createGame",
         gameID: generateID(),

The desktop shell serves the bundle from a local overlay and updates it
itself (download, stage, reload button). A page reload there only re-runs
the old overlay, reconnects, and trips the homepage version check again
until the download finishes — a reload loop for every Steam player during
each deploy's prefetch. Web keeps the reload.

Follow-up: the homepage/join version check now only reloads on the web. On the desktop (Steam) shell the bundle comes from a local overlay the shell updates itself, so a page reload would re-run the old bundle and re-trigger the check until the prefetch finished. Desktop now defers to the shell's own update bar (homepage: no-op; join rejection: informational alert, no reload).

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Needs changes — the gitCommit compatibility gate itself breaks wire compatibility for the exact clients it's meant to handle gracefully. Findings: 2 high, 1 medium, 1 low.

src/core/Schemas.ts

[High] Line 1053 — ClientRejoinMessageSchema.gitCommit shifts the zbin wire layout, so a pre-PR tab's rejoin fails to decode instead of hitting the new version_mismatch gate.
Per zbin/README.md and zbin/zb.ts's presenceCodec, an object's header is Math.ceil(bits/8) bytes, where bits counts only that object's own optional/nullable/boolean fields — this is exactly the class of edit the README calls out as wire-breaking: "making a field optional/nullable... (the presence-bit layout moves)." ClientRejoinMessageSchema previously had zero such fields (gameID, lastTurn, token are all required) → zero header bytes. Adding gitCommit: z.string().max(64).optional() gives it one presence bit → one new leading header byte that didn't exist in pre-PR bundles.
Concretely: a tab still running the pre-PR bundle rejoins mid-game against the post-PR server (the deploy that ships this very PR). The old client encodes the frame with no header byte; the new server's decoder reads the first body byte (part of gameID) as the presence header, then misreads the rest — decodeClientMessage throws, and the connection is closed with a raw decode error rather than the intended version_mismatch message. The comment on this field — "missing counts as a mismatch — pre-feature bundles are by definition stale" — assumes the message decodes far enough to reach the clientMsg.gitCommit !== ServerEnv.gitCommit() check in Worker.ts:414, which it won't for rejoin.
Suggested fix: reserve a presence bit on ClientRejoinMessageSchema ahead of time (so this deploy doesn't change its header-byte count), or avoid using an optional zbin field for version detection on this message entirely (e.g. carry it out-of-band).

[High] Line 315 — PublicLobbyFullSchema.gitCommit has the same problem for the public lobby feed's full message.
Same mechanism: type, serverTime, and games are all required fields, so this schema also had zero header bytes pre-PR. Adding the optional gitCommit field introduces one. A pre-PR homepage tab talking to a post-PR server (or a post-PR tab that's still connected to a not-yet-rolled server during a staggered deploy) will misdecode the full broadcast — LobbySocket.handleMessage will throw, the socket gets closed, and after maxWsAttempts the lobby list simply stops updating for that tab with no update prompt. This is the opposite of the intended effect ("Optional so clients tolerate older servers" — they don't, they fail to decode).
Suggested fix: same as above — pad the header ahead of time, or don't rely on the zbin-optional trick for cross-build compatibility signaling.

src/server/MasterLobbyService.ts

[Medium] Line 261 — if (!this.active) return; at the top of maybeScheduleLobby also skips assigning startsAt to an already-queued lobby, not just skipping new-lobby creation.
maybeScheduleLobby does two things: (1) give the next queued lobby a startsAt if it doesn't have one yet, and (2) create a replacement lobby up to QUEUED_LOBBIES_PER_TYPE. The new early return skips both. Since a freshly created lobby doesn't get a startsAt until the next scheduling pass (this is deliberate, per the comment above it, to avoid a race where two lobbies are created before either gets a startsAt), if the deployment flips to inactive in the window between a lobby's creation and its next scheduling pass, that lobby is stuck with startsAt === undefined forever — it stays listed and joinable on the pinned deployment (the one this whole PR is designed to keep serving), but never starts a countdown and never begins.
Suggested fix: move the !this.active guard to wrap only the createGame branch, leaving the startsAt-assignment branch unconditional (or explicitly delist/timeout queued-but-unstarted lobbies when going inactive).

src/server/Worker.ts / src/client/Transport.ts

[Low] Worker.ts:428 — closing with code 1002 on version_mismatch triggers a second, contradictory alert from the client's generic close handler.
Transport.ts:443-448 already shows error_modal.connection_refused (with the raw close reason) for any WebSocket close with code 1002. Worker.ts:428 closes with ws.close(1002, "Version mismatch") right after sending the explicit version_mismatch error message that ClientGameRunner.ts turns into its own "new version available" alert. The result is two stacked dialogs — "a new version is available, reloading" followed by "connection refused: Version mismatch" — and on desktop, where nothing else happens, the leftover "connection refused" dialog is the last thing the player sees instead of the intended update messaging.
Suggested fix: use a different close code (or a reason the 1002 handler special-cases) for the version-mismatch path so it doesn't also fire the generic connection-refused alert.


No CLAUDE.md violations found (i18n usage, src/core determinism/test-coverage, and Schemas.ts as the wire-format source of truth were all checked and are compliant).

…lose 1000 on version mismatch

- An inactive deployment still assigns countdowns to lobbies it already
  queued; it only stops creating new ones. Otherwise a lobby created just
  before the flip stayed listed forever without a start time.
- Close the socket with 1000 after a version_mismatch error so the client
  does not stack a generic connection-refused alert on the typed one.
- Correct the PublicLobbyFullSchema.gitCommit comment: optional does not
  make pre-field bundles tolerate the frame (zbin presence header shifts).

Review round 2 triage (8eeea10):

Fixed

  • [Medium] maybeScheduleLobby inactive guard skipped startsAt assignment — now only lobby creation is skipped; queued lobbies still get their countdown. Test added.
  • [Low] 1002 close on version_mismatch stacked a second "connection refused" alert — now closes with 1000 (client neither alerts nor reconnects).

Declined

  • [High ×2] zbin presence-header shift on ClientRejoinMessageSchema / PublicLobbyFullSchema. The mechanism is right, but it is the documented zbin ship-together tradeoff: any schema change breaks pre-PR frames, and reserving a bit now cannot help bundles that already shipped without one. Same candidate was investigated and rejected in round 1; the PR body already calls out the first-deploy hard cut. After this deploy, origin pinning keeps tab and server matched. The misleading "optional so clients tolerate older servers" comment was corrected.

Use the repository test setup instead of a mocked service fixture.

This test constructs MasterLobbyService with a mocked playlist and a fake worker. It does not use setup() from tests/util/Setup.ts or exercise the core simulation. Rewrite the test to use setup() and the real game instance. Keep the drain-mode assertion in that flow.

As per coding guidelines: tests/**/*.ts tests use a setup() helper from tests/util/Setup.ts that creates a full game instance with map data from tests/testdata/maps/; tests exercise the core simulation directly, not mocks.

Verdict: Solid, well-tested implementation of deployment pinning and version-mismatch detection; one medium-severity gap where the new reload-on-mismatch flow can loop for several minutes after a deploy because of pre-existing CDN caching on the app shell.

src/client/ClientGameRunner.ts:343-356 (and the same pattern in src/client/GameModeSelector.ts:75-83 / src/client/LobbySocket.ts:147-156) — Reload does not reliably pick up the new version because the app shell HTML is CDN-cached.

The new version_mismatch handler assumes "on the web a reload picks up the new version" and just calls window.location.reload(). But the client's own gitCommit isn't a build-time constant in the JS bundle — it's read from window.BOOTSTRAP_CONFIG.gitCommit, which is baked into index.html server-side (src/server/RenderHtml.ts:19, index.html:119). That HTML is served with Cache-Control: public, max-age=0, s-maxage=300, stale-while-revalidate=86400, ... (src/server/RenderHtml.ts:9-10, pre-existing and untouched by this PR, applied to both / and the SPA fallback route). Neither deploy.sh nor .github/workflows/release.yml purges the CDN on deploy.

Concretely: for up to 5 minutes after a deployment redeploys in place (the exact scenario this PR's drain logic sets up — "inactive + zero games is the signal it's safe to redeploy onto", and also any standalone beta/staging redeploy), the shared cache keeps serving the same stale HTML with the old gitCommit baked in. A client that hits version_mismatch (or the idle-tab update_available path) will reload, get the same stale cached shell again, reconnect, get flagged as mismatched again, and repeat — an alert/reload loop that doesn't actually resolve until the cache naturally expires. (Note: a genuine blue⇄green routing flip alone is fine, since the target host there hasn't itself redeployed — the problem is specific to a host being redeployed while the CDN still has its old shell cached.)

Suggested fix: bypass the shared cache on the reload — e.g. append a cache-busting query param (?v=<serverCommit-from-the-mismatch-message>) before calling window.location.reload(), or have the deploy pipeline purge/invalidate the app-shell CDN cache entry as part of the release job.


No other issues found. Two independent CLAUDE.md-compliance passes found no violations (i18n strings are routed through translateText() with matching en.json entries, the src/core/Schemas.ts additions are covered by new tests and introduce no determinism/dependency concerns, no other translation files were touched). Two independent bug-focused passes over the diff found no compile errors, unresolved references, or unconditional logic errors; the CORS origin-matching, fail-open health-polling, and version-mismatch rejection ordering in src/server/Worker.ts all check out correctly.

The shell is served with s-maxage=300, so a plain reload can return the
same stale HTML (old gitCommit baked in) for minutes after an in-place
redeploy and the version check would loop. Reload with a unique query
string so the origin renders the current shell. Addresses Claude review.

Review round 3 triage (c984df2):

Fixed

  • [Medium] reload could re-fetch the CDN-cached app shell (s-maxage=300) and loop until expiry. Both update reloads now go through reloadForUpdate(), which appends a unique ?v= so the shared cache is missed and the origin renders the current shell. (On prod blue/green this loop could not actually occur — the cached shell always names a host still running that commit — but it is real for beta/staging redeployed in place, and the fix is cheap.)

That is the third review round; further findings are left for the human reviewer.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: One confirmed high-severity behavioral regression found; no CLAUDE.md violations. Findings: 1 high, 0 medium, 0 low.

src/server/RenderHtml.ts / src/client/LobbySocket.ts / src/client/ClientEnv.ts / src/server/MasterLobbyService.ts / src/client/GameModeSelector.ts

Homepage tabs pinned to the retiring deployment silently lose all public lobbies, with no update/reload prompt.

This PR pins every tab's serverHost to whichever deployment rendered its index.html (src/server/RenderHtml.ts, injecting ServerEnv.publicHost()), and ClientEnv.serverWsBase()/resolveServerOrigin() honor that pin for all WebSocket connections — including the homepage's public-lobby socket (src/client/LobbySocket.ts:64), not just in-game reconnects. That pin was previously desktop-shell-only; extending it to web homepage tabs is a new behavior this PR introduces.

Combined with the new version-mismatch check, this produces a dead end for tabs loaded just before a blue/green flip:

  1. A tab loaded from openfront.io before the flip is pinned to, say, blue.openfront.io.
  2. The client's gitCommit version check compares the page's commit against the commit reported by its pinned server (blue) — but blue is still running the same old build as the page, so they always match, and onUpdateAvailable/the reload prompt never fires for this tab.
  3. Meanwhile MasterLobbyService.setActive(false) (drain mode) makes blue stop enqueuing new public lobbies (src/server/MasterLobbyService.ts:281).
  4. GameModeSelector.ts renders nothing once the lobby list is empty (no "no games / please reload" messaging) — the public game list on the homepage silently drains to zero with no indication the user should refresh to reach the active (green) deployment.

Before this PR, the homepage's lobby socket had no host pin and would naturally follow the load balancer to whichever deployment was actually active. This PR's pinning logic regresses that for exactly the tabs it's meant to protect from a different failure mode (mid-game reconnects), while leaving idle homepage tabs stranded on a dying deployment with no self-healing path (no periodic re-check, no HTTP fallback — LobbySocketOptions.pollIntervalMs is declared but unused).

Suggested fix: Don't extend serverHost pinning to the homepage/lobby-browsing socket — only pin it once a player has actually joined a game (where the reconnect-to-wrong-deployment problem this PR targets actually applies). Alternatively, have the homepage's version check compare against the load-balancer's current commit (via SITE_HOST//api/health), not the pinned server's own commit, so a stale pinned deployment can still be detected as stale.


Other areas considered and ruled out during review

  • CORS (GameApiCors.ts isAllowedOrigin()) — verified as an exact-match https://${siteHost} comparison, not a suffix/regex check; no subdomain-confusion or origin-spoofing bypass found.
  • Drain-mode "stuck inactive" concern — a transient health-probe failure to SITE_HOST only delays re-evaluation by one poll interval (~30–40s) because PollingLoop's .finally() unconditionally reschedules; this self-heals and does not contradict the documented fail-open contract.
  • zbin presence-header layout change on ClientRejoinMessageSchema — adding the optional gitCommit field does shift the wire format's presence-header size for old clients, but this is zbin's explicitly documented "all peers must run the same build" contract, already called out in the PR's own code comments as an accepted one-time tradeoff on deploy — not a new defect introduced by this PR.
  • CLAUDE.md compliance — the sole src/core change (Schemas.ts) is covered by tests/ClientVersionSchemas.test.ts; the two new user-visible strings correctly go through translateText() with matching entries in resources/lang/en.json; no other translation files were touched.
