Summary

Audit P0 "Ratings with explicit pools". Rated results now update both players durably, atomically and exactly once in an explicit variant × speed pool. Ratings are applied from the committed event log. Before this, ratings was keyed (user_id, variant) and nothing at runtime ever wrote it. Design and owner decisions: docs/adr/0150-durable-ratings.md. Handover: docs/PROJECT_STATE.md, Increment 75.

Owner decisions applied (2026-09-27)

  • Pools: variant × {ultrabullet, bullet, blitz, rapid, classical, correspondence}, unmerged. Unlimited games go to correspondence.
  • Rated: played seek, tournament and direct human-vs-human games whose durable GameCreated.rated is true, for every ordinary ending (checkmate, resignation, timeout, stalemate, agreement, insufficient material, fifty-move, threefold, variant).
  • Never rated: engine or bot-flagged accounts, casual games, aborts, seek no-shows, tournament one-player no-shows, double forfeits, any * result.
  • Glicko model: one Glicko-2 update per game, each game its own rating period. No inactivity RD decay.
  • Consumers: no silent speed fallback anywhere.
  • Legacy data: variant-only rows make the migration fail closed with operator instructions.

Design

  • Order: PgRatingsApplier reads committed GameEnded rows in (xact_id, server_ts, game_id) order, and only below pg_snapshot_xmin. This is ADR-0147's committed prefix, so live processing, restarts, backfill and replay all apply one identical order.
  • Atomicity: each batch is one transaction under the checkpoint's FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED. Per game:
    1. Both pool rows are created if missing and locked in player-id order.
    2. Both new ratings are computed from the pre-game rows.
    3. The rating_applications row (primary key game_id, the exactly-once guard), both updates and the checkpoint commit together.
  • Eligibility is folded from the event stream only; the games projection is never read. Account checks run under FOR KEY SHARE.
  • Failures: a stream that can't be proven rateable is recorded in rating_blocked_games and never rated automatically. Any transient error aborts the batch with nothing changed.
  • Discovery: no pub/sub wake is involved. Each poll re-reads the log, so a lost notification, crash or restart only delays ratings. The first run backfills history.
  • Migrations: 0044 (schema, ledger, checkpoint, blocked table, fail-closed guard, pinned in the variant-parity procedural allowlist) and 0045 (online index).

Consumer contract changes

  • GET /v1/leaderboard/:variant/:speed replaces /v1/leaderboard/:variant. The old route returns 404, and an invalid speed returns 422.
  • RatingView and LeaderboardEntry gain speed. openapi.json is regenerated.
  • Profile and /v1/users/:handle/ratings list every pool separately.
  • Seek rating ranges use the seek's own (variant, classifySpeed(timeControl)) pool, starting at 1500 when the player has no row there.
  • The web leaderboard adds a time-control selector. It opens on a prompt and loads nothing until a speed is chosen. Profile rows read Variant · Speed.
  • Gateway metrics: ratings_games_total{outcome} and ratings_batch_failures_total.

Test plan

  • npm run build, npm run lint
  • npm test (hermetic): 3,581 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped
  • Persistence against PostgreSQL 16 (pgvector): 163 passed, 0 skipped. This includes 16 rating-applier and 2 migration tests covering concurrency, exactly-once, atomic failure, deadlock-free lock order, first-row races, backfill/restart, rebuild-equals-live, late-commit ordering, blocked streams, and account deletion mid-rating.
  • API against PostgreSQL: 64 passed, 0 skipped
  • Gateway against real Redis and PostgreSQL: 81 passed, 0 skipped
  • Script guards: 309 passed. Load harness: 86 passed. All check:* guards pass.
  • Playwright e2e: 161 of 161 passed. Two unrelated specs (analysis, auth-responsive) passed only on retry under parallel load.
  • 16 mutation probes, each caught and restored (listed in PROJECT_STATE)
  • CI green on this HEAD
  • Qodo 0 / 0 / 0
  • Greptile exact-final-head review

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Ratings are maintained separately for each game variant and time control, across six time-control categories.
    • Leaderboards include a time-control selector and load results only after one is selected. Profile ratings show their variant and time control.
    • Eligible completed games update ratings automatically, with safeguards against duplicate applications; casual games, games without a result, and games without two human players do not affect ratings.
  • Changes
    • Leaderboard requests now require both a variant and time control. Invalid values return a validation error.
    • Existing ratings without a time-control assignment must be resolved before the database update can proceed.

…ls (P0)

Ratings were keyed by (user, variant) and never written at runtime. Rated
results now update both players exactly once in their variant x speed pool,
applied from the committed event log.

- Migration 0044: speed joins the ratings key with finite-value checks,
  a leaderboard index, the rating checkpoint, the rating_applications
  ledger (primary key game_id) and rating_blocked_games; it fails closed
  with operator instructions if legacy variant-only rows exist. 0045
  builds the ordered GameEnded index online.
- PgRatingsApplier walks GameEnded rows in (xact_id, server_ts, game_id)
  order below pg_snapshot_xmin (the ADR-0147 committed prefix), so live
  processing and replay apply one order. Per game: both pool rows are
  locked in player-id order, both new ratings come from the pre-game rows,
  and ledger, updates and checkpoint commit together.
- Eligibility is folded from the stream only; bot, casual, aborted and
  every no-show ending are never rated; unprovable streams are blocked.
- Consumers: GET /v1/leaderboard/:variant/:speed (no default speed),
  profiles list every pool, seek ranges read the seek's own pool, and the
  web leaderboard asks for a time control before loading.

ADR-0150 records the owner decisions and design.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to bd877

Ratings now use separate variant-and-speed pools and are applied from committed game endings through a checkpointed worker. API and web consumers select the matching pool. Earlier concerns about permanently blocking valid games, and about unsupported variants stalling rating processing, are resolved. No outstanding issue was found that should block merge.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to bd877

Validated game results and transactional safeguards constrain rating changes to the appropriate players and pool. No introduced security vulnerability was established in the inspected paths. Deployment and database recovery require coordinated handling.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — A rated result modifies the two seated accounts in one variant-and-speed pool. Processing order and checkpoint ownership are database-wide, so a batch-aborting failure can delay all pools served by that database, while transactional rollback prevents a partially committed two-player update.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The public leaderboard remains read-only and adds enum-validated speed selection while retaining bounded limits. Seek acceptance retains authenticated identity and uses persisted seek dimensions. These caller-controlled reads do not become a direct route to rating writes.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Application, blocked and ineligible decisions are mutually exclusive through transaction-scoped game locks and insert guards. Combined with sticky decision lookup, this preserves decision identity across repetition, checkpoint rewind and account changes rather than silently inserting historical games after later ratings.

High-Level Assessment

The committed-event-log applier with a transactional ledger and checkpoint is the strongest approach for order-dependent ratings. Projection consumption and pub/sub delivery were appropriately rejected because they cannot guarantee replay-stable ordering or lossless exactly-once application; pool-partitioned processing would add unnecessary coordination at current volumes.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

[Critical risk] Rebuilds ratings storage, API contract, and application logic.

The PR appears safe to merge based on the reviewed changes.

Summary

The PR adds durable, exactly-once ratings in separate variant × speed pools, updates API and web consumers to select explicit pools, and adds operational alerts. The changes since the previous review address the first-scrape blocked-game alert and prevent non-string variants from stalling rating batches.

1. Corrupt endings can alter ratings ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
decideRating maps result to a score and independently accepts any member of

as 1-0 with stalemate or with Black as winner therefore reaches applyRatedGame as a White win,
is written to the exactly-once ledger, and moves the checkpoint.

The eligibility function validates only whether the termination and result independently belong to

3. Malformed games bypass blocking ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness

projectGameStream does not validate that GameCreated.rated is boolean, and isTimeControlShaped
accepts any finite-valued non-unlimited kind before classifySpeed. A malformed creation is

time-control kind is unknown, so rateOne advances past it without recording the promised
blocked-game entry.

Review findings on PR #76:
- Qodo: decideRating now takes the committed stream and blocks any ending
  the authority could not have written: a result that termination cannot
  have (e.g. a decisive stalemate), a winner contradicting the result, a
  non-boolean rated flag, or an unknown time-control kind.
- Qodo: the k6 API baseline and load README use the pooled leaderboard
  route; FEATURE_PARITY_AUDIT describes it.
- Greptile: test that endings sharing one transaction id (the migration
  0040 upgrade case) apply in ending-time order across pages.

@greptileai review — exact final head 4fc652b

Brings in #77 (message send during session restoration) and #78 (RTL layout
reliability). The only textual conflict was docs/PROJECT_STATE.md: main's
history is kept verbatim, including its Increments 75 and 76, and the branch's
unmerged "Increment 75" ratings drafts are replaced by one appended
Increment 77. style.css auto-merged (disjoint hunks). Every #77/#78 file is
byte-identical to origin/main.
PR #76 loads no leaderboard until a time control is chosen, so #78's RTL
containment fixture waited for rows that never mounted. The fixture now
selects blitz after navigation and serves only /v1/leaderboard/standard/blitz
with speed-bearing entries, so rows prove the real pool load.

Falsified: removing the selection, or choosing bullet, fails all four
leaderboard viewports; the fixed spec passes 4/4 and the RTL suite 36/36.
…ackfill

The decision-exclusion trigger takes one advisory lock per inserted row. With
it installed before the pre_upgrade backfill, a database with many historical
unrated endings could exhaust max_locks_per_transaction during the upgrade.
0046 is unpublished, so it now backfills first and installs the trigger after.
The backfill needs no guard: its NOT EXISTS clauses exclude every other
decision and the held checkpoint row lock keeps appliers out.

The new migration test backfills 40 earlier skips inside a rolled-back run of
0046 and requires zero advisory locks (the old order held 40), then migrates
for real and requires every skip frozen, the pending ending untouched, and
the guard installed. Removing the trigger fails it.
…runbook

A ratings batch that fails on anything other than stream data rolls back
without advancing the single checkpoint and retries with backoff, so a
repeating failure stops every pool. Only the backlog-age alert noticed, and
no runbook said what to do.

GambitRatingsBatchFailing fires when ratings_batch_failures_total keeps
increasing for ten minutes. The new "Ratings batch failures" runbook section
separates transient database errors from a repeating one, gives a read-only
query for the ending being retried, forbids hand edits and forced decisions,
and escalates to the owner. No skip or mark-ineligible command is added.

scripts/test/alert-runbooks.test.mjs requires every alert's runbook link to
resolve to a RUNBOOKS.md heading and the failure counter to have an alert.
Renaming the heading or repointing the expression fails it; promtool check
passes, and a scratch promtool unit test confirmed a failure every 30 s fires
by 16 min while a single failure never fires.
Incorporates PR #79 (553751c). The only conflict was docs/PROJECT_STATE.md:
main's Increment 77 is kept verbatim and this PR's entry is appended as
Increment 78.

Description
requireCatalogVariant checks String(game.variant) against the catalog but passes the original

Evidence
The stream fold copies created.variant without runtime type validation, and eligibility passes it
to the new guard. JavaScript stringifies the example array as standard, but node-postgres converts
the original array parameter to a PostgreSQL array representation. The subsequent rating insert uses
that original value, so its catalog foreign key rejects it outside the corrupt-stream catch; the
batch transaction rolls back.

Remediation recommended

2. Concurrent workers replay old ratings ✓ Resolved
Description
runBatch samples the committed-transaction horizon before locking the checkpoint, then compares
the locked checkpoint with that potentially stale horizon. If another replica advances the
checkpoint between those statements, the first replica can mistake a normal position for a restore,
reset it to the origin, and replay all earlier endings; the application ledger prevents duplicate
rating changes but not the replay work.
Code

packages/persistence/src/pg/ratings-applier.ts[R117-118]

+      const rewound = BigInt(row.xact_id) >= BigInt(horizon);
+      const cursor: Position = rewound ? ORIGIN : { xactId: row.xact_id, serverTs: row.server_ts, gameId: row.game_id };
Relevance

●● Moderate

Concurrency and replay correctness concerns are often accepted, but no close precedent confirms this
specific horizon-lock interleaving.

PR-#71

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The applier reads horizon before FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED, but the transaction helper defaults to
READ COMMITTED, so the later lock can see a checkpoint another worker has just committed. The stale
comparison selects ORIGIN, and an empty page writes that position back; every gateway replica runs a
worker, making this interleaving reachable.

rateOne returns the same { kind: 'blocked' } result for an existing rating_blocked_games row
as for a newly blocked game, so runBatch adds it to batch.blocked again. After a checkpoint
rewind replays history, the gateway logs and counts every earlier block again, so operators cannot
tell new corrupt streams from ones already handled.
Code

packages/persistence/src/pg/ratings-applier.ts[R156-159]

+  const priorBlock = await client.query<{ error: string }>(
+    'SELECT error FROM rating_blocked_games WHERE game_id = $1', [gameId],
+  );
+  if (priorBlock.rows[0]) return { kind: 'blocked', error: priorBlock.rows[0].error };

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
A game that was already blocked is reported with the same `blocked` result as a newly blocked one. It is logged and counted again on every replay, including after a checkpoint rewind from the origin.

## Fix Focus Areas
- packages/persistence/src/pg/ratings-applier.ts[129-133]
- packages/persistence/src/pg/ratings-applier.ts[156-159]
- services/gateway/src/serve.ts[490-518]

## Recommended Fix
Return a separate outcome such as `already_blocked` when the prior-block lookup finds a row. Add it to `RatingOutcome` and to the gateway's `outcomes` list. Only push into `batch.blocked`, and count as `blocked`, when this run actually inserted the `rating_blocked_games` row.

1. Corrupt endings can alter ratings ✓ Resolved
Description
decideRating maps result to a score and independently accepts any member of
PLAYED_TERMINATIONS, while projectGameStream discards GameEnded.winner. A stored ending such
as 1-0 with stalemate or with Black as winner therefore reaches applyRatedGame as a White win,
is written to the exactly-once ledger, and moves the checkpoint.

Evidence
The eligibility function validates only whether the termination and result independently belong to
known sets, then derives the score solely from the result. The authoritative game implementation
emits stalemate and several other terminations only as draws and emits checkmate with a result
matching its winner, while the applier permanently claims accepted decisions in the rating ledger.

## Recommended Fix
Preserve the terminal event's winner in the folded projection and validate that winner, result, and termination form a combination the authority can emit. Throw `PersistenceError` for inconsistent combinations so the applier rolls back the savepoint and records the game in `rating_blocked_games`; add tests for decisive draw-only terminations and winners that contradict the result.

2. Malformed games bypass blocking ✓ Resolved
Description
projectGameStream does not validate that GameCreated.rated is boolean, and isTimeControlShaped
accepts any finite-valued non-unlimited kind before classifySpeed. A malformed creation is
consequently treated as casual when rated is absent or can be rated in a derived pool when its
time-control kind is unknown, so rateOne advances past it without recording the promised
blocked-game entry.
Code

packages/persistence/src/pg/ratings-applier.ts[R129-132]

+    const decision = decideRating(projectGameStream(gameId, await loadStream(client, gameId)));

Evidence
The fold checks player strings and a partial time-control shape but returns created.rated without
a runtime type check; its time-control predicate accepts every unknown kind when the numeric fields
are finite. Eligibility interprets falsy rated values as ordinary casual games, and the applier
records blocked games only when projection or eligibility throws.

Agent prompt

## Recommended Fix
Strengthen the creation-event fold to require a boolean `rated` value and a recognized, fully valid time-control shape before calling `classifySpeed`. Throw `PersistenceError` for malformed metadata so `rateOne` records the game as blocked, and add coverage for missing or non-boolean rated values and unknown time-control kinds.

3. Load baselines fail every read run ✓ Resolved

readPath in the API baseline scenario still requests /v1/leaderboard/standard?limit=20, while

Remediation recommended
1. Concurrent workers replay old ratings ✓ Resolved
Description
runBatch samples the committed-transaction horizon before locking the checkpoint, then compares
the locked checkpoint with that potentially stale horizon. If another replica advances the
checkpoint between those statements, the first replica can mistake a normal position for a restore,
reset it to the origin, and replay all earlier endings; the application ledger prevents duplicate
rating changes but not the replay work.
Code

packages/persistence/src/pg/ratings-applier.ts[R117-118]

+      const rewound = BigInt(row.xact_id) >= BigInt(horizon);
+      const cursor: Position = rewound ? ORIGIN : { xactId: row.xact_id, serverTs: row.server_ts, gameId: row.game_id };
Relevance

●● Moderate

Concurrency and replay correctness concerns are often accepted, but no close precedent confirms this
specific horizon-lock interleaving.

PR-#71

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The applier reads horizon before FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED, but the transaction helper defaults to
READ COMMITTED, so the later lock can see a checkpoint another worker has just committed. The stale
comparison selects ORIGIN, and an empty page writes that position back; every gateway replica runs a
worker, making this interleaving reachable.

…stic

Four review findings on the ratings applier (Qodo 1 and 3, CodeRabbit 1
and 2), each with a regression test that fails on the old code:

- Judge a checkpoint rewind by a horizon read after the checkpoint lock.
  A checkpoint another applier committed while this one waited looked
  like a logical restore and replayed history from the origin.
- Report a block found from before as already_blocked, so a replay is
  not counted, listed or logged as a new block.
- Load the stream outside the block decision and block only on the new
  CorruptGameStreamError. An unreadable event version, or any loader,
  database or runtime failure, now aborts the batch for retry instead of
  permanently blocking a valid game.
- Block a game whose variant is not in the variants catalog before any
  rating write, instead of failing ratings_variant_fkey on every retry.
GambitRatingsGameBlocked fires on increase(ratings_games_total
{outcome="blocked"}[15m]), so a new block fires it and an old counter
value or a restart reset does not. A promtool rule test proves both and
now runs in CI; the runbook guard pins the metric, label and anchor.

requireCatalogVariant looked up String(game.variant), so ['standard']
passed while the array itself reached ratings.variant, failed
ratings_variant_fkey outside the block path and stalled every pool.
A non-string variant is now a CorruptGameStreamError, and the lookup
uses the string itself.
…t scrape

increase() needs two samples, so a block written during a gateway's
startup backfill, before Prometheus first scraped it, never fired
GambitRatingsGameBlocked. A second term fires for a blocked series first
seen non-zero within 15 minutes; promtool cases cover it, a new series
at zero, a reset of an existing series and a flat counter. The drift
guard now strips offset durations as it does range selectors.
