fix(core): use the same win threshold in team games as FFA

[ryanbarlow97]

What

Team games required a side to hold 95% of the land to win, while FFA required 80%. No apparent reason for the split, so both now use one base of 80% (PERCENT_TILES_OWNED_TO_WIN in Config.ts). The overtime (anti-stalemate) decay consequently starts from a single base too.

Cleanup

• WinCheckExecution.checkWinnerFFA and checkWinnerTeam each carried their own copy of the same win condition. Extracted into one hasWon(tilesOwned): tile share over the threshold, the lobby max timer, or the 170 minute hard limit.
• hasWon() compares by integer cross-multiplication (tiles * 100 > land * pct) instead of float division — the threshold is always a whole percentage, so this is exact.

AI follow-up: MIRV victory denial

NationMIRVBehavior had a separate, higher team threshold ladder (0.9/0.8/0.7/0.6) tuned against the old 95% team bar. With both modes at 80%, the Easy rung sat above the win bar and could never fire, and the Medium rung coincided with it. Teams and lone players now share one ladder, expressed as whole percents (75/65/55/40) and compared by integer cross-multiplication; candidate ranking uses tile counts instead of float shares (same denominator, same ordering).

Bug fixed along the way

Extracting the shared win condition surfaced a real bug in it:

this.mg.config().gameConfig().maxTimerValue !== undefined &&
  timeElapsed - this.mg.config().gameConfig().maxTimerValue! * 60 >= 0

maxTimerValue is .nullable().optional(), and HostLobbyModal sends null when the max-timer toggle is off. The check only tested !== undefined, and null * 60 is 0, so timeElapsed - 0 >= 0 was always true — a host lobby with the timer off declared the leader the winner on the first check after the spawn phase. hasWon() now treats null as no timer.

Tests

• Team-base test updated to assert the shared 80% base and decay.
• New regression test for the null timer case (real Game.setWinner, asserts via getWinner()); verified it fails against the old check.
• Team MIRV victory-denial test lowered to a 70% share — above the shared Medium rung (65%), below the old team-only 80% — so it fails against the old ladder.
• Full suite: 4262 passed. Lint, format, tsc clean.

Walkthrough

The PR sets an 80% overtime base for all game modes, centralizes FFA and team win checks, treats null timers as disabled, and replaces floating-point MIRV threshold comparisons with exact integer math.

Changes

Unified win thresholds

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Unify overtime threshold configuration src/core/Schemas.ts, src/core/configuration/Config.ts, tests/core/executions/WinCheckExecution.test.ts	The configuration uses PERCENT_TILES_OWNED_TO_WIN with an 80% base for all game modes. Comments and team overtime tests use the shared threshold.
Share win-condition evaluation src/core/execution/WinCheckExecution.ts, tests/core/executions/WinCheckExecution.test.ts	FFA and team checks use hasWon. The shared logic handles timers, the hard limit, and exact tile-share comparisons. Null timers do not declare a winner.
Use exact MIRV denial thresholds src/core/execution/nation/NationMIRVBehavior.ts, tests/NationMIRV.test.ts	MIRV targeting uses whole-percent thresholds and tile counts instead of floating-point shares. Tests validate team targeting at 70% territory, above 0.65 and below 0.8.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to be7ca

The change unifies victory thresholds and fixes the disabled-timer win condition while updating the related AI behavior and tests; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Exercise the real Game state instead of a mock.

setup() creates the required full game, but replacing game.setWinner with vi.fn() makes part of the regression depend on a test double. Remove the mock and assert the winner or active state through the real Game API.

As per coding guidelines: tests under tests/**/*.ts must use setup() and exercise the core simulation directly, not mocks.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Solid, well-tested fix — the null-timer bug fix and the win-check dedup are correct — but the threshold unification leaves one stale, now-incorrect assumption in unrelated AI code. Findings: 1 medium.

src/core/execution/nation/NationMIRVBehavior.ts

[Medium] Team-mode AI "victory denial" thresholds were tuned against the old 95% team win bar and are now broken/dead on Easy and Medium difficulty

OpenFrontIO/src/core/execution/nation/NationMIRVBehavior.ts

Lines 54 to 69 in 83af531

	private get victoryDenialTeamThreshold(): number {
	const { difficulty } = this.game.config().gameConfig();
	switch (difficulty) {
	case Difficulty.Easy:
	return 0.9; // Only react right before the game ends (95%)
	case Difficulty.Medium:
	return 0.8;
	case Difficulty.Hard:
	return 0.7;
	case Difficulty.Impossible:
	return 0.6; // Reacts early
	default:
	assertNever(difficulty);
	}
	}

victoryDenialTeamThreshold returns 0.9 (Easy) / 0.8 (Medium) / 0.7 (Hard) / 0.6 (Impossible), explicitly derived (see the // (95%) comment on line 59) as "N points below a 95% team win bar" — mirroring victoryDenialIndividualThreshold (0.75/0.65/0.55/0.45), which is correctly tuned against the 80% FFA bar.

This PR changes percentageTilesOwnedToWin (src/core/configuration/Config.ts) so team games now also use an 80% base (PERCENT_TILES_OWNED_TO_WIN), but doesn't touch NationMIRVBehavior.ts. Since WinCheckExecution.hasWon() compares tile share against a denominator (numLandTiles() - numTilesWithFallout()) that is ≤ the AI's numLandTiles() denominator used for teamShare (NationMIRVBehavior.ts:168,181), the win check's percentage is always ≥ teamShare * 100. Concretely:

• Easy (0.9): the win check now fires once a team exceeds 80% share, before the AI's 0.9 threshold can ever be reached — this branch is effectively unreachable/dead code in team games.
• Medium (0.8): the AI's threshold and the win-check threshold now coincide, so the AI's reaction window (previously 15 points, 80–95%) has collapsed to essentially nothing.
• Hard (0.7) / Impossible (0.6): still functional, but the reaction window shrank from 25/35 points to 10/20 points below the win bar.

Suggested fix: derive victoryDenialTeamThreshold from percentageTilesOwnedToWin() (or simply reuse the victoryDenialIndividualThreshold ladder for both branches, since the win bar is now unified), and update the stale // (95%) comment on line 59.

No other issues found. The core refactor (hasWon() extraction), the null-vs-undefined maxTimerValue fix, and the accompanying tests are correct and consistent with CLAUDE.md (tests included for all src/core changes; no new non-determinism introduced).

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Approve — no issues found. Findings: 0 critical, 0 major, 0 minor.

Summary of what was checked

• src/core/execution/WinCheckExecution.ts — The new hasWon() correctly unifies checkWinnerFFA/checkWinnerTeam. The null-timer fix is real and correctly scoped: HostLobbyModal.ts:1404 sends maxTimerValue: null when the toggle is off, and the old check only tested !== undefined, so null * 60 === 0 made timeElapsed - 0 >= 0 always true (instant win after spawn phase). The new check explicitly excludes both undefined and null. This matches the pattern already used in GameRightSidebar.ts (maxTimerValue !== null && maxTimerValue !== undefined).
• Cross-multiplication instead of division (tilesOwned * 100 > numTilesWithoutFallout * threshold) — verified percentageTilesOwnedToWin() always returns a whole integer (base is a whole int; overtime decay steps by whole percentage points and is floored), so this is an exact, safe integer-math equivalent of the old floating-point comparison. Consistent with src/core's determinism requirement.
• src/core/configuration/Config.ts — GameMode import removal is safe; grepped for other usages in the file and confirmed the removed line was the only one.
• src/core/execution/nation/NationMIRVBehavior.ts — Merging victoryDenialTeamThreshold/victoryDenialIndividualThreshold into one victoryDenialThreshold ladder (0.75/0.65/0.55/0.4) matches the PR's stated rationale (the old 0.8/0.9 team ladder sat above or coincided with the new shared 80% win bar).
• Tests — tests/core/executions/WinCheckExecution.test.ts and tests/NationMIRV.test.ts updates are consistent with the new logic (verified the Medium-difficulty 0.65 threshold and the 0.7 team-share test target land strictly between the new 0.65 bar and the old 0.8 ladder, matching the added test comment).
• No stale references to the old "80% FFA / 95% team" split remain in code comments (Schemas.ts, Config.ts comments were updated; the comment containing "(95%)" was inside the deleted victoryDenialTeamThreshold getter).
• No CLAUDE.md violations: src/core changes are pure/deterministic and include tests, no user-facing text was added.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: No issues found — this is a clean, well-tested fix. Findings: 0 critical, 0 major, 0 minor.

Reviewed the diff for src/core determinism/CLAUDE.md compliance (two independent passes) and for bugs/logic/security issues (two independent passes), covering:

• src/core/configuration/Config.ts — unifies the win threshold via PERCENT_TILES_OWNED_TO_WIN
• src/core/execution/WinCheckExecution.ts — deduplicates FFA/team win checks into a shared hasWon(), converts float division to exact integer cross-multiplication, and fixes the null vs undefined maxTimerValue bug that previously caused instant wins when the timer toggle was off
• src/core/execution/nation/NationMIRVBehavior.ts — collapses the team/individual victory-denial ladders into one, converting float share comparisons to integer cross-multiplication
• src/core/Schemas.ts — comment-only update
• tests/NationMIRV.test.ts and tests/core/executions/WinCheckExecution.test.ts — updated thresholds plus a new regression test for the null-maxTimerValue fix

No compile/type errors, no logic errors, no CLAUDE.md violations (determinism improved, not regressed; all src/core changes are covered by tests; no new external dependencies). Edge cases (zero-denominator, overflow, ordering preservation in severity ranking, threshold ladder collapse) were traced and hold up.

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

Review notes

• Unifies the win threshold for Team and FFA games to a shared 80% base (PERCENT_TILES_OWNED_TO_WIN in src/core/configuration/Config.ts), removing the previously undocumented 95% team-specific threshold.
• Fixes a real bug in WinCheckExecution.ts: the old maxTimerValue !== undefined check let a null timer value (sent by HostLobbyModal when the max-timer toggle is off) coerce to 0 via null * 60, causing games to falsely end on the first win-check tick. The new guard (!== undefined && !== null) is correct and is covered by a new regression test.
• Converts floating-point share comparisons to exact integer cross-multiplication in both WinCheckExecution.ts and NationMIRVBehavior.ts — verified percentageTilesOwnedToWin() always returns a whole integer, so this is exact and does not introduce non-determinism, consistent with src/core's determinism requirements.
• Recalibrated MIRV victory-denial thresholds to match the unified 80% bar; the new ladder preserves roughly the same headroom below the win bar as before.
• All changed src/core logic (win-threshold unification, null-timer fix, MIRV threshold recalibration) has corresponding test coverage in tests/core/executions/WinCheckExecution.test.ts and tests/NationMIRV.test.ts.
• No CLAUDE.md violations, no floating-point regressions, no division-by-zero risk (fallout tiles are always unowned, so the new denominator can't be zero while tiles are owned), and no unresolved references or compile issues.

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

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

Review notes:

• The float→integer cross-multiplication refactor in WinCheckExecution.hasWon() and NationMIRVBehavior.selectVictoryDenialTarget() is algebraically equivalent to the prior float-division logic, and improves src/core determinism per this repo's CLAUDE.md (src/core must use no floating-point math).
• The maxTimerValue === null fix is verified correct: null !== undefined was true and null * 60 === 0, so the old check always returned true once spawn phase ended when a host lobby had its timer toggle off. The added !== null guard fixes this.
• All changed src/core files have corresponding test coverage, and the new test exercises the real Game/WinCheckExecution simulation directly rather than mocks, per this repo's testing conventions.
• No new external dependencies, no new user-visible strings requiring translateText(), and the now-unused GameMode import removal from Config.ts is confirmed correct (no other references remain in that file).
