feat: autonomous server-authoritative in-play flag expiry (P0) - #73
Conversation
Once a timed game's first move has started its clock, the side to move now loses on time when that clock runs out, with nobody connected and nobody claiming: - Game.flagDeadline / clock.flagDeadline state the first instant hasFlagged holds; Game.timeoutDue(at) applies it only after a first move. - The owner records the timeout for any player command it applies at or after the flag (a late move, resignation, draw acceptance, readiness), so the outcome depends on the authoritative time, not on arrival order. - expireFlag is issued only by the reserved FLAG_ACTOR and refused unless due on the owner's clock and freshest copy; it records exactly what claimFlag records, including the insufficient-material draw. - Migration 0043 adds flag_deadlines, kept by a game_events trigger in the same transaction as every append (each move replaces the deadline, an ending removes it), with an exact integer due_ms, and backfills running games. - FlagExpiryWorker on every gateway with DATABASE_URL re-decides each due game from the log, corrects or dismisses rows the log disagrees with (guarded by the log head), and routes expireFlag to the owner. The PR #72 worker loop and routed expiry are shared through deadline-expiry.ts.
The PR #72 test asserted that upgrading a pre-0042 database applies exactly one migration, which stopped holding once 0043 exists. It now upgrades to exactly 0042, keeping its original claim.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to Timed games now end automatically when the side to move runs out of time, even if no player is connected. No merge-blocking defect was found. The remaining note is a small efficiency improvement to the one-time migration backfill, and the PR already plans to run that backfill in a quiet window. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Expiry decisions remain with the game owner, and the new worker rechecks games before ending them. The main risk is deployment coordination: expiry depends on a new database migration, and older gateway replicas cannot apply the new timeout rule consistently during a rolling replacement.

CodeRabbit on 5448ab7: the 0043 backfill evaluated flag_deadline_ms twice per game while CREATE TRIGGER's lock holds appends. It now computes it once in a subquery and filters on the result.

…warded expiries Qodo on 1bed08a: a failed candidate query was logged but not counted, and logged errors kept only their message. Both handlers now count the failure and log the stack. CI on 1bed08a: when two replicas expire one game at once, the loser's forwarded expiry reached the owner's consumer after the owner had evicted the ended game, and the consumer's reload left an unwatched copy cached. The consumer now evicts a copy it loaded only to answer a server expiry once the game is over, before replying. Player commands and resident copies are untouched. A deterministic real-Redis test forwards the late expiry directly.

… is watching Qodo on 9e3db89: the consumer decided the copy was expiry-only before loading it, so a local join completing during the load or apply could lose its game. The consumer now also requires that nobody on this node is in the game's room, through the gateway's room check (wired in serve.ts; until wired, every game counts as watched). The real-Redis test covers a watcher present when the late expiry arrives.

Summary
Closes the remaining P0 timed-game lifecycle defect: a live timed game whose side to move has flagged now ends on time autonomously, with nobody connected and nobody claiming. Builds on PR #72 (durable readiness, first-move clock start, no-show). ADR-0149.
Verified on
mainat5036d68: a game ended on time only through a late move or a player'sclaimFlag. Nothing on the server watched a running clock, and a resignation or draw acceptance that reached the owner after the flag beat the timeout if it arrived first.Policy (from the current architecture)
Tand the owner's clocktwhen it applies a command: att < Ta legal move is played and replaces the deadline. Att ≥ T, any player command (a move, resignation, draw offer or acceptance, abort, readiness) or the server's expiry records the sameGameEndedthatclaimFlagrecords, including the per-variant insufficient-material draw.Design

All decisions still go throughhasFlaggedandclaimFlag.expireFlagcommand, accepted only from the reservedFLAG_ACTORand refused unless due on the owner's clock and current copy. It carries no time or deadline. The late-command rule sits beside PR feat: durable player readiness, first-move clock start and source-specific no-show (P0) #72's no-show rule.flag_deadlines (game_id PK, seq, due_ms BIGINT)with index(due_ms, game_id)for the worker's keyset query. Agame_eventsinsert trigger maintains it in the append's own transaction: eachMovePlayedupserts the new side to move's deadline and eachGameEndeddeletes the row.flag_deadline_msuses the domain's float8 arithmetic plusceil, which gives an exact integer millisecond (atimestamptzcould read back a millisecond early). Malformed values never raise. The migration backfills games already running.FlagExpiryWorkerruns on every gateway withDATABASE_URL(FLAG_SCAN_MS, default 1000). It re-decides each due game from the event log with the domain and routesexpireFlagto the owner. It corrects early rows and dismisses rows with no running clock, and both corrections are guarded by theseqof the log head it read, so a newer move's row is never touched. PR feat: durable player readiness, first-move clock start and source-specific no-show (P0) #72's pass loop, backoff, graceful stop and routed expiry (lease release and eviction only for expiry-only claims with nobody watching) moved unchanged intodeadline-expiry.tsand are shared. The no-show API is unchanged. The pregame and in-play rules keep separate tables, commands and actors.expectedSeqon every append, and a reload on conflict or takeover. Two workers produce one ending, and a stale owner cannot overwrite a newer move.GameEnded, so terminal recovery (ADR-0144), the tournament reporter, the games projection (ADR-0147), history, search, achievements and the seek-receipt guards need no change.Tests (no skips)
