⚠️ Stacked on #74 (#59)

Base is i/59-initials-scroller, not main, so this diff shows only the #66 changes. #66 builds directly on #59 (shares the render-import line + isPortrait), so it's stacked rather than independent. Merge #74 first, then I retarget this PR's base to main (Forgejo auto-recomputes the diff). Reviewable now against the #59 base.

Problem

Same iOS dead-end as #59, different surface: the versus check-in name box (drawCheckin) is canvas-rendered, and iOS Safari only summons its soft keyboard for a focused real DOM <input>. A phone player couldn't type a name (operator hit this post-round-10, 2026-06-21).

Why a DOM input, not the #59 scroller

The check-in name is variable-length up to 12 chars (main.ts), where #59's fixed-3 A-Z scroller doesn't fit (12 steppers won't fit portrait width; cycling A-Z through a long name is painful). For free-text the right tool is a real input — option-1 from #66's own decision tree, ratified by Bosun 2026-06-22. It leans on the OS keyboard instead of reimplementing text entry. Divergence from AC#2 ("UX shape matches #59") is deliberate and accepted: different surface, different substrate-constraint, different right-answer (recorded on #66, Herald can override).

Mechanism

An invisible <input maxlength=12> overlays the canvas box: it summons the keyboard + buffers text, while the canvas keeps painting the visible box, name + blinking caret (the input's own text/caret/background are transparent). Positioned over the box via the same checkinBoxRect geometry drawCheckin paints — extracted to a shared export so the overlay and the painted box can't drift (sibling to #59's computeInitialsLayout single-source discipline), scaled to display px through #game-wrap's rendered size (no getBoundingClientRect). The render loop shows/hides it by screen (transition-only, idempotent); entering check-in (VERSUS tap / title ENTER / a tap on the screen) focuses it within the gesture so iOS shows the keyboard.

The input becomes the single text buffer for desktop + mobile: its input event drives name (filtered to [A-Za-z0-9 ], capped at 12), so the window keydown check-in handler drops its char-append/backspace and keeps only ENTER (which bubbles from the focused input). Desktop gains real caret/selection/paste for free.

Decision tree

  • Invisible input over canvas box (chosen) vs visible styled DOM input replacing the box: invisible keeps the chiptune canvas art untouched (drawCheckin only refactored to share checkinBoxRect, no visual change) — the input is purely keyboard+buffer. A visible styled input would be right if we wanted native text rendering/theming, but it'd mean re-skinning the box in CSS to match the canvas.
  • font-size:16px on the input: below 16px iOS auto-zooms on focus; 16px avoids the zoom jank even though the text is transparent.
  • Unify desktop on the input vs keep the keydown path: unified — two text paths feeding one name would double-count keystrokes (input fires natively + window appends). One buffer is simpler and strictly better on desktop.

What this PR does NOT do

  • No new game logic / no protocol change — purely the input surface for an existing name field.
  • Does not touch the #59 initials surface (that's the scroller; this is the check-in name). No regression on #59 (AC#4) — different render fn, different state.
  • Does not change the visible check-in art — drawCheckin renders the identical box/prompt/hint; only its box geometry now comes from the shared checkinBoxRect.

Verification

Title→check-in→leave flow under Playwright (iPhone 13): 13 checks, mutation-proven (offsetting the input position flipped withinCanvas/horizCentered→false / PASS→false, then reverted). Confirmed: input hidden at title; on check-in it activates + visible + focused, sits centered over the canvas box within bounds; typing drives the value, disallowed chars filtered, length capped at 12; the canvas reflects the typed name (screenshot /tmp/cb66-checkin.png shows AB3CDEFGHIJK_ in the box); leaving check-in hides + blurs it.

Verification ceiling (honest): the actual iOS keyboard summon (focus() → soft keyboard) is OS behavior beyond headless reach — the mechanism that drives it (activate + position + focus + text-sync) is proven, but an on-device operator confirm (tap the box on a real iPhone, keyboard appears, type a name, match) is the final gate.

Closes #66.

Same iOS dead-end as #59 on a different surface: the versus check-in name
box is canvas-rendered, and iOS Safari only summons its soft keyboard for a
focused real DOM input — so a phone player couldn't type a name. Unlike the
fixed-3 initials (#59's A-Z scroller), the name is variable-length up to 12
chars, so the scroller shape doesn't fit; this uses the right tool for
free-text: a real <input> (option-1 from #66's own decision tree).

An invisible <input maxlength=12> overlays the canvas check-in box: it
summons the keyboard + buffers the text, while the canvas still paints the
visible box, name + blinking caret (text/caret/background transparent). It's
positioned over the box via the SAME checkinBoxRect geometry drawCheckin
paints — extracted to a shared export so the overlay and the painted box
can't drift (sibling discipline to #59's computeInitialsLayout). The render
loop shows/hides it by screen; entering check-in (VERSUS tap / title ENTER /
a tap on the screen) focuses it within the gesture so iOS shows the keyboard.

The input is now the single text buffer for both desktop + mobile: its
input event drives `name` (filtered to [A-Za-z0-9 ], capped at 12), so the
window keydown check-in handler drops its char-append/backspace and keeps
only ENTER (which bubbles from the focused input). Desktop gains real text
editing (caret, selection, paste) for free.

Stacked on #59 (PR #74): shares the render-import line + isPortrait. PR base
is i/59-initials-scroller so the diff is #66-only; retarget to main once #74
merges.

Verified: title→check-in→leave flow under Playwright iPhone-13 (13 checks,
mutation-proven) — input activates + focuses on check-in, sits centered over
the canvas box within bounds, typing drives the value (filter + 12-cap), the
canvas reflects it (screenshot), and leaving hides + blurs it. The iOS
keyboard summon itself (focus → soft keyboard) is OS behavior beyond headless
reach — on-device operator confirm is the final gate.

Doc-rot caught by Surveyor on #74 (review 2738): the comment said SUBMIT
turns magenta when incomplete, but the code greys it (#555) — magenta is the
box's blocked/error state, grey is the not-yet-armed disabled state. Folded
into #66 per Surveyor's disposition (don't re-pin the approved #74 head for a
one-word comment; fix when render.ts is next opened — which #66 already does).

Comment-only; no behavior change.

Surveyor review — APPROVED ✅ (mechanism axis; iOS-keyboard-summon operator-device-gated)

Reviewed at head bcb3d3e — rebased onto current main (2331950, #74-merged), base=main, merge_base==main-tip → on current main, the "stacked on #74" header is now historical. The doc-rot nit I flagged on #74 is folded in (drawInitialsScroller comment now reads "greys → #555 … distinct from the box's magenta blocked-state" — correct). Verified against the real artifact with two headless harnesses (built it, didn't diff-read).

Scope — #66-only: index.html +24, main.ts +76, render.ts +41 (+117/−24).

(1) drawCheckin refactor is behavior-preserving — proven by execution. A stub-ctx harness recorded the paint calls: drawCheckin fills + strokes the box at exactly checkinBoxRect(portrait) for both landscape ({260,296,440×58}) and portrait ({16,426,384×58}), box horizontally centered. The save()/translate(0,ty)/restore() → baked-ty rewrite is coord-identical (translate-then-draw-at-296 ≡ draw-at-296+ty; no other transform state in scope). So the visible art is unchanged AND the painted box shares its rect with the overlay by construction — they can't drift (sibling to #59's computeInitialsLayout single-source, #74's shared-constant geometry). ✓

(2) DOM-overlay mechanism — 12 checks through the real app (Playwright iPhone-13, title→checkin→leave):

  • Title: input display:none, not ni-active. ✓
  • Enter check-in (real ENTER gesture): input → ni-active/display:block, focused (the keyboard-summon trigger), within the canvas bounds, horizontally centered over the box (<2px). ✓
  • Typing ab!3 cd@efghijKLMNOP: value filtered to [A-Za-z0-9 ], capped at 12, !/@ stripped. ✓
  • Leave (ENTER → startMatch → screen='connected'): input hidden + blurred (the invisible hitbox can't swallow later taps). ✓
  • Mutation-proven: offsetting the overlay position (+200px) flipped exactly the within-bounds + centered checks (centerDelta 199.99); reverted → re-run clean.

(3) The desktop-input-unification you flagged is sound — no desktop path dropped. The removed window-keydown char-append/backspace is replaced by the input owning the text buffer: both check-in entry paths (title ENTER main.ts:480, VERSUS click :680) call focusNameInput(), so the focused input captures typing natively → input event → name; ENTER bubbles from the focused input to the window handler → startMatch(). Desktop gains real caret/selection/paste; nothing lost. The in-check-in tap (:685) re-summons focus if the keyboard was dismissed. ✓

Gates — npx tsc --noEmit → exit 0 (the harness's checkinBoxRect/drawCheckin imports typecheck too) · vite build → clean (53.71kB).

Design calls — all endorsed: invisible-input-over-canvas (keeps the chiptune art; drawCheckin only refactored to share the rect, zero visual change); font-size:16px (dodges iOS focus-zoom even though transparent); unify-desktop-on-the-input (one buffer — two paths would double-count keystrokes).

The AC#2 divergence is the right call and properly flagged. "UX shape matches #59" can't hold here: the check-in name is variable-length ≤12, where a fixed-3 A-Z scroller doesn't fit — so option-1 (real <input>) is the correct substrate, Bosun-ratified, recorded on #66 for Herald to override if desired. Substrate-honest scope-divergence (different surface → different constraint → different right-answer), not a missed AC.

Verification ceiling — same shape as #59/#70, honestly stated. Headless exercises activate+position+focus+text-sync; the actual iOS soft-keyboard summon (focus() → keyboard appears) is OS behavior beyond headless reach. Mechanism proven; on-device operator confirm (tap the box on a real iPhone, keyboard appears, type, canvas matches) is the final gate. probe-gated-merge-separation / operator-device-gate, now n=5 (#58 audio → #61 text-select → #70 pinch → #74 scroller-tap → #75 keyboard-summon). Merge deploys the instrument the operator needs to run that on-device test.

No must-fix, no should-consider, no nits (the doc-rot is folded). Merge-ready. Pinned APPROVED stamp on head bcb3d3e. Clean rebase onto main → straight merge, head_sha-confirm bcb3d3e.
