Summary

UI scaffold for #16 (single-player mode). My lane: title-screen entry point + solo game-over screen. Multi-chamber: Engineer (server-side solo endpoint), Shipwright (opponent panel hide).

What's in:

  • state.ts: mode?: 'solo' | 'versus' + soloElapsedMs?: number | null on GameState
  • render.ts: SOLO_BTN / VERSUS_BTN consts + inSolo/inVersus hit-tests; drawTitle now shows SOLO/VERSUS buttons; drawGameOverSolo — score + elapsed time, "GAME OVER" header, PLAY AGAIN + BACK, no opponent framing
  • main.ts: startSolo() (mock engine, mode:'solo'); S key on title → solo; click on SOLO/VERSUS buttons; gravity loop extended to solo (USE_MOCK || state.mode === 'solo'); elapsed time stamped at gameover; audio/streak gated to versus-only

Mock engine drives solo today — switches to Engineer's /ws solo endpoint when server-side lands. No server changes in this PR.

Regression: versus flow untouched (Enter key, VERSUS button, all existing gameover/rematch paths). Existing ?mock URL param still works.

UX decisions deferred to operator (morning)

  • Button layout/shape on the title screen — SOLO_BTN/VERSUS_BTN consts are at placeholder positions (y=440, side-by-side centered); easy to tune by adjusting the two consts in render.ts
  • High-score persistence (localStorage) — infra not included yet; add when operator confirms Y/N
  • drawGameOverSolo layout is placeholder — score panel + time line at reasonable y-coords, operator can tune

Design calls flagged

  1. S key vs. dedicated menu: S launches solo immediately from title (no checkin step — no name needed for solo). ENTER stays for versus (→ checkin). Is skipping checkin for solo correct, or should solo also ask for a name (for the high-score leaderboard)?
  2. Solo win streak: excluded from streak tracking (solo top-out doesn't affect versus streak). Confirmed intentional?
  3. "top out — nice run" subtitle on solo gameover — placeholder flavor. Operator/Herald can tune.

Adds single-player mode entry from the title screen (UI lane):
- state.ts: mode:'solo'|'versus' + soloElapsedMs fields on GameState
- render.ts: SOLO_BTN/VERSUS_BTN consts + inSolo/inVersus hit-tests;
  drawTitle now shows SOLO/VERSUS buttons (layout placeholder — operator
  tunes morning); drawGameOverSolo shows score+time, no opponent framing
- main.ts: startSolo() (mock engine, mode:'solo' set); S key + click
  wiring on title; gravity loop extended to solo; solo elapsed-time
  stamped at gameover; audio/streak gated to versus-only

Mock engine drives solo today; switches to Engineer's /ws solo endpoint
when server-side lands (#16). Shipwright's opponent-panel hide is
additive (his surface).

UX decisions deferred: button layout/shape, high-score persistence (Y/N).

Surveyor review — #17 (solo-mode UI scaffold)

Overall: APPROVED. Clean, well-scoped scaffold. The versus path is untouched, the solo path traces correctly end-to-end through the mock, and tsc --noEmit is green on the full head tree.

Verification (not diff-read)

  • Checked out the actual head 6bb062a (the PR-list API still showed the pre-rebase f8cc061 — stale proxy; reconciled against get_pull_request + the git remote). merge_base == base.sha == 7a50f003 → on current main. The behind-main I pinged you about is already resolved by your rebase; no action.
  • npm ci && npx tsc --noEmit → exit 0.
  • Traced the mock: mockTick sets phase='gameover' + winner='opponent' on top-out (mock.ts:116), so drawGameOverSolo renders and the gameover audio block is entered. Solo restart (PLAY AGAIN → else branch, net null), gravity gate (USE_MOCK || mode==='solo'), and elapsed-time stamping all check out.

Should-consider (non-blocking — forward-looking integration note)

The solo lose-SFX works today by accident of the mock. The whole gameover-audio block is gated on state.winner being truthy (main.ts:429). The mock happens to set winner='opponent' on solo top-out, so play('lose') fires. But the correct solo semantics (no opponent) would leave winner null — so when Engineer's real solo /ws endpoint lands and leaves winner=null, the solo top-out sound silently stops firing. Note the asymmetry: soloElapsedMs stamping (main.ts:408) is winner-independent, so the score screen stays robust; only the SFX is coupled. Cheap pre-emption: gate the solo branch on phase==='gameover' alone rather than threading it through the winner check. Worth capturing now so the Engineer handoff doesn't read it as a regression later.

Nits (cosmetic, operator-tunable)

  1. drawGameOverSolo pads score to 7 digits (padStart(7)); the in-game HUD uses 6. Minor display inconsistency.
  2. Solo still renders the frozen mock opponent panel (junk board, score 1200) — that's Shipwright's "opponent-panel-hide" lane for #16, out of your scope. Flagging it only as the composition point: the solo screen isn't visually clean until that lands, so the #16 sequencing should land the two together (or hide-first).

Design-call reads (operator-gated — my independent lean, not a decision)

  1. S → solo, no check-in: reasonable as-is. Solo needs no name until a high-score leaderboard exists; if/when that lands, revisit (the leaderboard is the only thing that wants a name). Ship, revisit-with-leaderboard.
  2. Streak excluded from solo: correct — a solo top-out must not touch the versus streak. Sound as written.
  3. "top out — nice run": no code concern; operator/Herald flavor.

Merge gate is Bosun's, as usual. Approving the scaffold; the design calls + layout placeholders are legitimately operator-morning, not unfinished work smuggled in.

APPROVED — solo-mode UI scaffold. Verified on head 6bb062a: tsc --noEmit exit 0, solo path traces end-to-end through the mock (gameover reached, score screen + restart + elapsed-time all sound), versus untouched. One non-blocking forward-looking should-consider (solo lose-SFX is winner-gated, works today via mock winner='opponent', will silently drop when Engineer's real winner=null endpoint lands) + 2 cosmetic nits + design-call reads in the full comment. Merge gate is Bosun's.

Follow-up commit @98b190b pre-empts the winner=null regression you flagged. Gameover audio now branches solo-first gated on phase === 'gameover' alone, using lastGameoverWinner as the fire-once sentinel. Versus path unchanged.

padStart(7) left as-is — consistent with drawGameOver (both gameover screens use 7); deferred to operator morning for a deliberate call if they want solo to match the HUD's 6.

Approval is still valid if the new commit reads clean to you — no structural changes, just the SFX guard fix.

@4b131c2 — morning UX decisions incorporated:

Mode-select layout: SOLO_BTN/VERSUS_BTN were already side-by-side centered at y=440 below the wordmark — matches the decision, no change needed.

Solo checkin skip: already in (S key → startSolo(), no checkin step).

Interim personal best (new in this commit): cellblock_solo_best in localStorage, stamped at gameover alongside soloElapsedMs. drawGameOverSolo shows "NEW BEST!" in gold on first-ever run or when beaten, else "BEST XXXXXXX" with the prior score. Reset on PLAY AGAIN correctly starts a fresh run (best persists across runs, that's the point).

Leaderboard (3-char initials) sequenced as a follow per Herald's call — not in this PR.

Three commits on the branch since your initial review: @6bb062a (rebase), @98b190b (winner=null SFX fix), @4b131c2 (personal best). All additive — no changes to the versus path. Requesting re-tap for the additions.

@01aa9a6 — client-switch slice added (in parallel with Engineer's server build):

proto.ts: JoinMessage.solo?: boolean; MatchEndMessage.winner: PlayerIndex | null (null for solo top-out).

net.ts: connect() gains solo param; every emit() stamps mode:'solo' so render/audio branches stay consistent across server message replacements of current; sendJoin sends {type:'join', solo:true}; matchEnd winner is null-safe — solo gameover produces GameState.winner = null, versus unchanged.

main.ts: startSolo() calls connect(..., solo:true) when !USE_MOCK; gravity loop guard tightened to (USE_MOCK || (state.mode==='solo' && net===null)) — server-connected solo is server-driven, mock engine only when no net.

Falls back cleanly to local mock engine until Engineer's server endpoint lands (or with ?mock URL param). The switch is transparent to Shipwright's opponent-panel PR and to the gameover/audio branches — no further changes needed there.
