Resolves #5141, #5211, #1757

Description

Close codes and reason strings were hardcoded across client and server
Application rejections used 1002, which RFC 6455 reserves for protocol errors, and reason strings were free-form English, so the client had to parse them to tell a terminal close from a retryable one
Also there was a bug as described in #5141

Changes

Implemented src/core/CloseCodes.ts
The module holding is holding all codes, reasons and a function to check if the code is terminal

Code Name Class Sent for
1000 Normal terminal game ended, kick, no heartbeat for 60s
1002 ProtocolError retryable WS_ERR_UNEXPECTED_RSV_1
1011 InternalError retryable unhandled server error, lobby socket error, token verify failure, account lookup failure
1013 TryAgainLater retryable server-initiated backoff, not used yet
4000 BadRequest terminal join message failed to decode
4001 Unauthorized terminal turnstile rejected, login required on a flare-gated server
4002 Forbidden terminal flare not allowed, cosmetic not owned, not allowlisted, not a trusted account
4003 Banned terminal account is banned
4004 GameNotFound terminal game missing on join or rejoin
4005 GameClosed terminal previously kicked from this game
4006 LobbyFull terminal lobby full
4100 RankedLimitReached terminal out of free ranked matches
4101 InvalidClan terminal selected clan no longer valid
4102 ClanVerificationFailed terminal clan membership unverifiable

4000 - 4099 reserved for the game server
4100 - 4199 to matchmaking service
Any unassigned code is treated as terminal

All reason strings are snake_case with close_reason.* entries in localization

Reconnect attemps are now limited to 10 attemps with 5 seconds delay between them

Bug from #5141 was fixed, modals aren't stacking anymore and player can quit the game or stay if needed

Notes

Rolling this out requires changing the close codes in matchmaking service
Discussed there

1008 "ranked_limit_reached" -> 4100 "close_reason.ranked_limit_reached"
1008 "invalid_clan" -> 4101 "close_reason.invalid_clan"
1011 "clan_verification_failed" -> 4102 "close_reason.clan_verification_failed"

Please complete the following:

  • I have added screenshots for all UI updates
  • I process any text displayed to the user through translateText() and I've added it to the en.json file
  • I have added relevant tests to the test directory

Implemented proper handling of the 1002 (Connection Refused) error code
The lack of this handler was causing a retry loop when a player lost connection during the game and reconnected after the server had already terminated the session
The Close button in the Connection Refused modal now redirects to the main page
Added tests for the new handler and the modal

Walkthrough

The server centralizes WebSocket close codes and reasons. Transport now separates terminal refusals from retryable disconnects, limits retries, and translates refusal reasons. Matchmaking stops on terminal rejection codes. Tests cover the new close handling.

Changes

WebSocket close handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Centralized close-code contract
src/core/CloseCodes.ts, src/core/Schemas.ts
Defines typed close codes, rejection bounds, terminal-close detection, and standardized close reasons.
Server close paths
src/server/GameServer.ts, src/server/Roster.ts, src/server/Worker.ts, src/server/SocketIngress.ts, src/server/WorkerLobbyService.ts
Server shutdown, validation, authorization, join, lookup, lobby, and protocol-error paths use shared close codes and reasons.
Client refusal and retry flows
src/client/Transport.ts, src/client/Matchmaking.ts, src/client/components/ConfirmDialog.ts, resources/lang/en.json
Transport handles terminal refusals, bounded retries, translated reasons, and cancelled timers. Matchmaking stops on terminal rejection. Dialogs support custom cancel text.
Close handling validation
tests/CloseCodes.test.ts, tests/client/*, tests/server/*, tests/matchmaking/fakeServer.mjs
Tests cover close-code contracts, refusal dialogs, matchmaking rejection, retry timing and limits, attempt resets, cleanup, and server close arguments.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e35e7

The PR centralizes WebSocket close handling and limits retries, but the current behavior can still reconnect after normal game completion, retry invalid or unknown close outcomes, and report ended games as full lobbies. This can leave players in reconnect loops, create avoidable server load, and show the wrong message, so the PR is not ready to merge until these mappings and retry controls are corrected.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Needs changes — 1 high-severity logic issue found; no CLAUDE.md violations.

Findings by severity: High: 1 · Medium: 0 · Low: 0

src/client/Transport.ts

[High] connectionRefused latches on any 1002 close, which can permanently eject a player from a recoverable live game — src/client/Transport.ts:231, :390-392, :457-469

Whats wrong: handleConnectionRefused sets connectionRefused = true on every WebSocket close with code 1002, and the new guard at the top of connectRemote() then permanently refuses to reconnect for the lifetime of the Transport instance (nothing ever resets the flag). The fixs premise — "1002 means the server already terminated the session" — is true for some close reasons but not all. The server also uses 1002 for transient conditions on an already-joined, live game connection:

  • src/server/SocketIngress.ts:76ws.close(1002, "WS_ERR_UNEXPECTED_RSV_1"), fired from a ws.on("error", ...) handler installed on already-joined/rejoined sockets (a transient frame-corruption error, e.g. caused by a proxy/middlebox mangling a frame).
  • src/server/Worker.ts:587ws.close(1002, "Unauthorized: user me fetch failed"), fired on a transient upstream API failure during a mid-game rejoin attempt.

Before this PR, ClientGameRunner.onConnectionCheck (src/client/ClientGameRunner.ts:1479-1491) kept calling transport.reconnect() every ~5s of silence regardless of why the connection died, so a transient 1002 like the ones above could self-heal via automatic rejoin (reconnect() -> connect() -> connectRemote() -> rejoinGame()). After this PR, the very first such transient 1002 latches connectionRefused forever, and once the player dismisses the alert they are redirected to /, discarding a live, otherwise-recoverable game session.

Suggested fix: only latch connectionRefused (and redirect home) for close reasons that are genuinely terminal — e.g. "Game not found", "Account Banned", "Lobby full", "Cannot join game", "Trusted account required", "You are not whitelisted", "Unauthorized: invalid token", "Forbidden" — and let transient/infra errors (WS_ERR_UNEXPECTED_RSV_1, "Unauthorized: user me fetch failed") continue to fall through to the existing reconnect path instead of being treated as final.


No other issues found. CLAUDE.md compliance looks correct: the error_modal.connection_refused translation key already exists in resources/lang/en.json (unchanged by this diff, already used pre-PR), and the new test file tests/client/TransportConnectionRefused.test.ts covers the new handler and modal behavior.

feat: add custon cancel text to confirm dialog

Terminal rejections now close with 1003 instead of 1002
The client only stops reconnecting on 1003
The refused dialog offers Return to menu or Close instead of always redirecting home

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Needs changes — the 1002/1003 close-code split introduces two classification/regression issues that can strand or hammer clients during transient failures.

Findings by severity: 1 High, 1 Medium, 0 Low


src/server/Worker.ts

[High] src/server/Worker.ts:421 — Transient token-verification failures are now permanently latched as "connection refused" instead of retried.

ws.close(1003, \Unauthorized: invalid token`)fires wheneververifyClientToken()returns{type: "error"}. That result isn't limited to genuinely invalid/forged tokens — verifyClientToken (src/server/jwt.ts) also returns the same "error"type whenServerEnv.jwkPublicKey() fails a live JWKS fetch (network blip or non-2xx; the key is only cached after a first success, so this is especially likely right after a worker restart) or when the prod-only "persistent ID not allowed in production" branch is hit due to a transient client-side auth refresh failure. Since the client (src/client/Transport.ts) treats any 1003 close as permanent — it sets a connectionRefusedlatch that is never cleared and blocks all futurereconnect()calls, including the silence-check recovery inClientGameRunner` — a player who hits this during a brief JWKS/auth blip is now permanently ejected and shown a "connection refused" dialog, even though retrying moments later would have succeeded.

Notably, this PR already applies the correct discrimination for the analogous getUserMe() failure at src/server/Worker.ts:587 (ws.close(1002, "Unauthorized: user me fetch failed"), deliberately left retryable, and covered by this PR's own test). verifyClientToken's infrastructure-failure paths should get the same treatment.

Suggested fix: Have verifyClientToken distinguish infrastructure/transient failures (JWKS fetch error, network error) from genuine token rejection (bad signature, expired, malformed claims) — e.g. a transient: boolean flag on the error result — and close with 1002 for the transient case, reserving 1003 for deterministic rejections.


src/client/Transport.ts (combined with src/server/Worker.ts:587)

[Medium] src/client/Transport.ts:450-454 — Code 1002 now falls through to an immediate, unthrottled reconnect() with no backoff, where before this PR it did not reconnect at all from onclose.

Before this PR, event.code === 1002 was handled by the if branch (showed an alert only); now that branch checks === 1003, so 1002 closes fall into the else if (event.code !== 1000) branch and call this.reconnect() unconditionally. reconnect()connect()connectRemote() has no backoff, delay, jitter, or attempt cap — it opens a new WebSocket immediately on every close. Combined with the one remaining 1002 site at src/server/Worker.ts:587 ("Unauthorized: user me fetch failed", triggered by an uncached upstream /users/@me call in getUserMe()), a client hitting this during an account-API outage now retries at socket/handshake RTT speed indefinitely, hammering the already-degraded auth API on every attempt. This is also now silent to the user — the old showInGameAlert call for 1002 was removed, so nothing indicates the retry loop is happening.

Suggested fix: Add capped exponential backoff with jitter (and ideally a max-attempt cap that eventually surfaces handleConnectionRefused or a distinct "still trying to reconnect" indicator) inside reconnect()/connectRemote(), rather than relying on an immediate retry for the 1002 bucket.


Everything else checked out: the connectionRefused latch/guard placement is otherwise correct and leak-free, the event.reason string flows through Lit's escaped text binding (no XSS), the redirect target is a hardcoded / (no open redirect), all new/changed UI strings reuse existing translateText() keys already present in resources/lang/en.json, and the src/core/Schemas.ts change is comment-only. The Worker.ts:392 ClientJoinMessageSchema decode-failure site was also checked against the same "should this be 1002 or 1003" question — that one decodes a fully-parsed, schema-validated message and fails deterministically for the same input, so 1003 there is correct.

rolled back new error code 1003 in verifyClientToken due to potential JWKS/network blip causing player to receive connection refused modal

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Approve — no issues found.

Findings by severity: Critical: 0 · High: 0 · Medium: 0 · Low: 0

Reviewed src/client/Transport.ts, src/client/components/ConfirmDialog.ts, src/core/Schemas.ts, src/server/Worker.ts, and the new tests/client/TransportConnectionRefused.test.ts for bugs and CLAUDE.md compliance.

Notes from review (not blocking):

  • The 1002/1003 split is applied consistently: all server-side terminal refusals (ban, lobby full, unauthorized, forbidden, game not found, cosmetic rejection, etc.) were moved to 1003, while genuinely transient closes (WS_ERR_UNEXPECTED_RSV_1, user me fetch failed, invalid token) were deliberately left at 1002 and are explicitly covered by the new parametrized test cases.
  • The new connectionRefused latch in Transport is checked at the top of connectRemote, which is the single funnel used by reconnect() and the sendMsg re-open path, so it correctly blocks all reconnection attempts after a terminal refusal.
  • All new/changed user-visible text goes through translateText() using pre-existing keys in resources/lang/en.json (error_modal.connection_refused, win_modal.exit, common.close); no other translation files were touched.
  • Minor: the PR description says the Close button redirects home, but in the implementation it's the Exit Game (confirm) button that navigates to /, while Close (cancel) dismisses and stays on the page. The code and tests are internally consistent — this is just a description wording nit, not a code issue.

No issues found. Checked for bugs and CLAUDE.md compliance.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Needs changes — 1 high-severity issue found (0 critical, 1 high, 0 medium, 0 low).

src/server/Worker.ts:421, src/server/Worker.ts:587 (High)

What's wrong: This PR reclassifies WebSocket close code semantics: code 1003 is now the terminal "connection refused" signal (client shows a dialog and stops retrying), while 1002 is treated as retryable and routes into Transport.reconnect(), which has no backoff and no attempt cap. However, two 1002 close sites in Worker.ts were left unchanged even though they represent permanent, non-self-healing rejections rather than transient ones:

  • Worker.ts:421ws.close(1002, "Unauthorized: invalid token")
  • Worker.ts:587ws.close(1002, "Unauthorized: user me fetch failed")

verifyClientToken/getUserMe return these errors for deterministic conditions (e.g. a persistent-ID token rejected in production when JWT refresh has failed, a sustained account-API outage, bad signature/iss/aud) — conditions that do not resolve themselves on retry. Since Transport's onclose handler now sends any non-1000/1003 code (including these two 1002 cases) straight into reconnect() with no delay or cap, a client hitting either condition will loop connect → join → close(1002) → reconnect indefinitely at network-RTT speed, with no user-visible dialog and no backoff — hammering the server. Before this PR, the same close reasons triggered a "connection refused" alert and stopped. The PR's own new test (tests/client/TransportConnectionRefused.test.ts, the it.each case covering [1002, "Unauthorized: invalid token"] and [1002, "Unauthorized: user me fetch failed"]) explicitly locks in "still reconnects after a retryable close" for these two cases, confirming this is the code as written, not a misreading of the diff.

Suggested fix: Change Worker.ts:421 and Worker.ts:587 to close with 1003 instead of 1002 (consistent with the other 13 sites already converted in this PR), so these permanent auth/account rejections surface the "connection refused" dialog instead of looping. Alternatively, if reconnect() is meant to remain the catch-all for 1002, add backoff and an attempt cap so a permanently-refused client eventually falls back to a user-visible error instead of looping forever.


No other issues found. CLAUDE.md compliance (translateText()/en.json usage, src/core determinism, test coverage for core changes) was checked and no violations were found.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Prevent reconnect after a normal terminal close.

isTerminalClose() includes CloseCode.Normal, but this branch returns without setting the terminal latch or stopping ping. After a CloseReason.GameEnded close, reconnect() and the closed-socket path can open a new WebSocket. Stop ping and block reconnects for normal terminal closes without showing the refusal dialog. Add a regression test for this case.

Proposed fix
 if (isTerminalClose(event.code)) {
-  if (event.code !== CloseCode.Normal) {
+  if (event.code === CloseCode.Normal) {
+    this.connectionRefused = true;
+    this.stopPing();
+  } else {
     this.handleConnectionRefused(event.reason);
   }
   return;

Use a terminal code for invalid tokens.

CloseCode.InternalError is 1011, and isTerminalClose() does not classify 1011 as terminal. The client therefore treats an invalid token as a retryable disconnect instead of a refusal. Use CloseCode.Unauthorized (4001) with CloseReason.InvalidToken. Reserve CloseCode.InternalError for transient verifier failures.

Keep ended games distinct from full lobbies.

GameServer.joinClient() returns "rejected" for both ended games and full lobbies. GameManager.joinClient() forwards that value, so Worker.ts sends CloseCode.LobbyFull for an ended game. Return a distinct ended result or check ended before mapping "rejected".

Use the required integration test setup.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Solid refactor overall (close-code registry, i18n coverage, and CLAUDE.md compliance all check out), but the reconnect-cap rework has two bugs that undermine the PR's own stated goal of stopping unbounded/stacking reconnect loops. Findings: 2 High, 0 Medium, 0 Low.

src/client/Transport.ts

1. (High) Give-up branch has no latch — reconnect cap is bypassable and the fixed modal-stacking bug re-appears on the retryable-close pathsrc/client/Transport.ts:464-468

if (this.reconnectAttempts >= MAX_RECONNECT_ATTEMPTS) {
  console.log(`giving up after ${this.reconnectAttempts} attempts`);
  showInGameAlert(translateText("error_modal.connection_lost"));
  return;
}

Unlike the terminal-close path (handleConnectionRefused, which sets this.connectionRefused = true and is idempotent), this branch sets no flag. connectRemote's only guard is if (this.connectionRefused) return;, so once the cap is hit, anything that calls transport.reconnect()/connectRemote() externally can still reopen the socket — notably ClientGameRunner's silence-check (onConnectionCheck, ~1s interval, fires transport.reconnect() whenever the server has been quiet >5s) and Transport.sendMsg's own connectRemote(...) call when the socket is CLOSED. If that reopened socket also fails, onclose re-enters this same branch (since reconnectAttempts is still ≥ 10) and calls showInGameAlert again. showInGameAlert/showDialog (src/client/InGameModal.ts) creates a new <confirm-dialog> and appends it to document.body on every call with no dedupe/removal of a prior instance — so dialogs stack on top of each other roughly every 5 seconds, indefinitely. This is the exact stacked-error-modal symptom from #5141 that this PR sets out to fix, just relocated from the terminal-close path to the retryable-close path.

Suggested fix: add a one-shot latch (e.g. reuse/extend connectionRefused, or a new gaveUp flag) in the give-up branch that both (a) prevents showInGameAlert from firing more than once, and (b) blocks connectRemote from reopening the socket afterward — mirroring what handleConnectionRefused already does.

2. (High) reconnectAttempts resets on WebSocket handshake, not on confirmed join — defeats the cap for any retryable close that occurs after the socket openssrc/client/Transport.ts:414

this.socket.onopen = () => {
  console.log("Connected to game server!");
  this.reconnectAttempts = 0;

reconnectAttempts is reset as soon as the TCP/WS handshake completes, before any join is confirmed by the server. Several server-side rejections are only sent after the socket is already open and a join message has been processed — e.g. src/server/Worker.ts closes with CloseCode.InternalError (1011, retryable per isTerminalClose in src/core/CloseCodes.ts) on JWKS/account-lookup blips and on the generic catch-all around join handling, and ProtocolError (1002) is used similarly. In that scenario: connect → onopenreconnectAttempts = 0 → server closes with a retryable code → delay = reconnectAttempts === 0 ? 0 : RECONNECT_DELAY_MS evaluates to 0ms → immediate reconnect → onopen fires again → reset to 0 again. The counter never advances past 1, so MAX_RECONNECT_ATTEMPTS is never reached for this class of failure, producing a tight 0ms hot-reconnect loop that the cap was specifically introduced to prevent (it does correctly cap the "server unreachable, onopen never fires" case — just not this one).

Suggested fix: reset reconnectAttempts on the first successful post-join server message (or a join-confirmation signal) rather than on raw socket onopen, and/or drop the reconnectAttempts === 0 ? 0 : RECONNECT_DELAY_MS special-case so every retry has a non-zero floor delay.


Also considered, not flagged:

  • src/client/Matchmaking.ts switching from 1008/reason-string matching to dedicated CloseCode.RankedLimitReached/InvalidClan/ClanVerificationFailed (4100-4102) requires the separate closed-source matchmaking worker to be updated in lockstep. This is explicitly called out and planned for in the PR's "Notes" section (with the exact code migration table), so it's a known, coordinated rollout dependency rather than an unacknowledged regression.
  • src/server/Worker.ts classifying invalid-token/account-lookup failures as CloseCode.InternalError (retryable) rather than a terminal Unauthorized code — this is deliberate per the added code comment ("1xxx stays retryable (mangled frames, account-API / JWKS blips)"), since that code path can't distinguish a forged token from a transient JWKS fetch failure, and retries are bounded by the (mostly-working) reconnect cap.
  • CLAUDE.md compliance: verified independently by two reviewers — src/core/CloseCodes.ts is pure/deterministic and has dedicated tests (tests/CloseCodes.test.ts), all user-facing close_reason.* strings that are actually rendered via translateText() have en.json entries, and no other translation files were touched. No violations found.
