Server-side slice of #28 (solo leaderboard). Not a close — Pilot's UI (both surfaces + client-side initials entry), the comprehensive shared wordlist, and the authenticated admin-redact endpoint are separate slices. See Coordination + What this does NOT do.

What this does

A server-persisted shared top-10 solo score board — the operator's classical online leaderboard, not localStorage. New server/leaderboard.go: the store, the content filter, and two HTTP endpoints.

It's the first persistent state in an otherwise-stateless server, so it's deliberately conservative: a JSON file behind a small interface (swappable to SQLite later without touching callers), atomic temp+rename writes so a crash mid-write can't corrupt the board, and it degrades to in-memory when no path is configured (dev + tests need no file). A corrupt/unreadable file logs and starts empty rather than crashing the game server. Thread-safe (one mutex).

API contract (for Pilot's client wiring)

GET /leaderboard
  → 200 { "entries": [ {initials, score, lines, durationMs}, ... ] }   // top-10, highest first

POST /leaderboard/submit
  body: { "initials": "ABC", "score": 1234, "lines": 40, "durationMs": 60000 }
  → 200 { "placed": true, "rank": 1, "entries": [...] }                 // rank is 1-based; placed=false/rank=0 if off-board
  → 400 "those initials aren't allowed" | "initials must be exactly 3 letters" | ...   // filter/validation reject
  → 405 (non-POST)

Submit is client-driven — the client collects the 3-char initials after placement (arcade pattern, Herald's shape) and POSTs. The server is decoupled from the game loop (it does NOT auto-submit from endSolo).

Moderation (Herald's MUST — defense in depth)

Server-authoritative initials filter (validateInitials): exactly 3 chars, A–Z, normalised upper, rejected if in blockedInitials. The client's pre-filter is a UX courtesy; the server is the gate (a client can't be trusted to filter its own submission).
Lean over-block per Herald: on a guest-demo'd public board a false-positive is cheap, a false-negative costly. The 3-char A–Z space is finite, so exact-match blocking suffices. The list in this PR is a starter — the comprehensive set is the shared source of truth coordinated with Pilot (the client pre-warns the same set).
Store-level Redact op backs the operator's admin moderation. This PR ships no public redact route — an unauthenticated one would be a moderation-bypass hole; the authenticated admin endpoint is Pilot+QM's cellblock-admin slice, which calls this op.

Trust model

Jam-scope: the score is self-reported and accepted as-is — this is a celebration board, not stakes-ranked, so there's no anti-cheat. Stated explicitly rather than pretending it's verified (Herald-affirmed).

Mutation-verification (closed loop)

The load-bearing guard is the server-authoritative filter:

State	`go test -run 'TestValidateInitials_Rejects\|...RejectsBlockedInitials'`
as written	`ok`
mutation: `if false && blockedInitials[s]` (filter disabled)	`FAIL` — `validateInitials("FUK") = nil error, want rejection` + handler `status 200, want 400` + `a blocked submission still landed on the board` (exit 1)
reverted by re-edit	`ok` — no residue

Gates

Exact CI cd server && go test ./...: ok ✅
go test ./. -race -count=3: ok ✅ (concurrent handlers over the mutex store)
gofmt -l: clean ✅ · go vet: clean ✅ · golangci-lint: no new findings ✅

Tests (`leaderboard_test.go`, 13)

Store: ranks-highest-first · caps-at-top-N · off-board-not-placed · ties-rank-below-existing · persist-reload (tempdir) · in-memory-no-path · redact. Filter: valid (incl. lowercase/trim normalise) · rejects (length/non-alpha/blocklist, case-insensitive). Handlers: places+returns · rejects-blocked (400) · method-not-allowed (405) · get-returns-entries.

Coordination flags

QM — DEPLOY: set CELLBLOCK_LEADERBOARD_PATH to a path on a writable volume in the Docker compose, else scores don't survive a container restart (this is the first persistent store; Herald's watching it land). I'll bus you.
Pilot — (a) the shared wordlist (extend blockedInitials, comprehensive, lean over-block; client pre-warns the same set); (b) client wiring against the API contract above (collect initials post-placement → POST; fetch for the HIGH SCORES view); (c) the authenticated admin-redact endpoint calling scoreboard.redact(i).

What this does NOT do

Does not add the client UI (both display surfaces + initials entry) — Pilot's slice.
Does not ship the authenticated admin-redact HTTP route (security: no unauthenticated redact) — Pilot+QM's slice; the store op is here for them.
Does not auto-submit from the game loop — submission is client-driven by design.
Does not wire the Docker volume — QM's deploy slice.

Server-persisted shared top-10 solo score board — the operator's classical
online leaderboard, not localStorage. This is the FIRST persistent state in an
otherwise-stateless server: a JSON file behind a small interface (swappable to
SQLite later) with atomic temp+rename writes, degrading to in-memory when
CELLBLOCK_LEADERBOARD_PATH is unset. Thread-safe (mutex).

Endpoints: GET /leaderboard (top-N) + POST /leaderboard/submit
{initials,score,lines,durationMs}. Submit is jam-trust — the score is self-
reported and accepted as-is (a celebration board, not stakes-ranked; no anti-
cheat). The one server-authoritative guard is the 3-char initials content
filter (wordlist, lean over-block per Herald — false-positive cheap, false-
negative costly on a public board); the client's pre-filter is UX only. A
store-level Redact op backs the operator's admin moderation (the authenticated
admin endpoint is Pilot+QM's slice — no unauthenticated public redact route).

DEPLOY: the Docker deploy must point CELLBLOCK_LEADERBOARD_PATH at a writable
VOLUME for persistence to survive a container restart (flagged for QM).

Surveyor review — APPROVE ✅

Verified against head 7154af1 in a fresh checkout. This got the careful pass — first persistent server state + a security-sensitive moderation gate are exactly the substrate-care surfaces worth slow review.

Moderation filter (the load-bearing guard) — verified closed-loop

validateInitials normalizes before it blocks (ToUpper(TrimSpace) at :182, blocklist at :191), so case can't bypass it; the A–Z-only check shrinks the attack surface to the finite 17,576-combo space exact-match handles. The handler rejects (400) before submit, so a client that skips its own pre-filter still can't land a blocked entry — server-authoritative as designed.

I reproduced your mutation (if false && blockedInitials[s]) — both guards go red, matching your claim:

TestValidateInitials_Rejects:  validateInitials("ASS"/"ass"/"FUK"/"nig") = nil error, want rejection
TestLeaderboardSubmitHandler_RejectsBlockedInitials:  status 200, want 400  +  a blocked submission still landed on the board

The lowercase cases ("ass", "nig") confirm the normalize-before-block path is actually exercised, not just the already-uppercase one. Reverted clean, no residue. Not placebo.

Security boundary — no moderation-bypass hole

redact() is a store method with no public HTTP route — main.go registers only GET /leaderboard and POST /leaderboard/submit. The authenticated admin-redact endpoint (Pilot+QM's cellblock-admin slice) is the only intended caller. Correct call: an unauthenticated redact route would be the hole. ✓

Store correctness

submit: sort.Search for Score < e.Score on the desc-sorted slice is monotonic (false→true), and because the predicate is strict <, equal scores stay ahead → ties rank below existing equal scores, exactly as documented. Insert-at-idx + cap-to-10 correct; off-a-full-board returns (false, 0).
top() / redact lock-guarded; top() copies out (no internal-slice alias leak).
load: missing file → silent empty; unreadable/corrupt → log + empty (defensive re-sort + cap). A bad board never crashes the game server. ✓
persist: correctly atomic — tmp is path+".tmp" (same dir → os.Rename is atomic on one filesystem), called under the caller's lock, errors logged-not-fatal. ✓

Gates (re-run locally on head)

go test ./... ok · go test ./. -race -count=3 ok · gofmt/vet clean.
golangci-lint: I verified your "no new findings" claim — all 18 issues (errcheck×17 + one staticcheck De Morgan in metrics_test.go) live in pre-existing untouched files (lobby_test, main, metrics*, solo_test); leaderboard.go / leaderboard_test.go contribute zero. The _ = json…Encode() explicit-ignore in the new handlers is what keeps them clean. ✓
Test-merged onto current main 51dedfc (you're behind 02fd0aa, but the behind-delta doesn't touch your files) → clean, go build + go test ./... green on the merged tree.

Should-consider (none blocking — jam-scope is fine, but these matter once it's public-facing)

No body-size cap on the public POST. json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode reads an unbounded body — a minor DoS vector on an internet-reachable endpoint (the ws handler caps at SetReadLimit(2048) for comparison). A one-liner r.Body = http.MaxBytesReader(w, r.Body, 1<<16) closes it. Cheap defensive hardening for the first public write-endpoint.
GET /leaderboard has no method check — a POST to it returns the board (harmless, read-only), asymmetric with submit's 405. Nit.
persist has no fsync before rename — atomicity protects the existing file (rename is atomic), so worst case is losing the last write on a crash, never corruption. Jam-acceptable; noting for the SQLite-swap-later horizon.
Lines/DurationMs unvalidated (negatives possible) — cosmetic display fields, accepted-as-is per the stated jam-trust model. Fine; flagging for completeness.

Clean, conservative first-persistent-state design — the swappable interface + atomic writes + degrade-to-memory + corrupt-file-survives are all the right instincts. Merge is Bosun's gate.

Moderation gate verified closed-loop (filter-disable mutation reproduced both reds incl. the lowercase normalize-path, then reverted); no moderation-bypass route (redact is store-only, no public HTTP); store semantics correct (ties-rank-below via strict-< sort.Search, cap, copy-out); load degrades-not-crashes; persist correctly atomic (same-dir tmp + rename under lock). Gates green; "no new golangci findings" verified (all 18 pre-existing in untouched files). Composes clean onto current main 51dedfc.

The submit endpoint is the first internet-reachable write endpoint on cellblock
and the body decode was unbounded. Wrap r.Body in http.MaxBytesReader(64 KiB)
so an oversized body is rejected before buffering — closes a memory-exhaustion
DoS vector (the ws path caps reads at SetReadLimit(2048) for comparison). An
over-cap read fails the existing decode → 400. Per Surveyor review 2702.

Folded review note 1 in 5f72838 — the submit handler wraps r.Body in http.MaxBytesReader(w, r.Body, 1<<16) before decode, plus TestLeaderboardSubmitHandler_BodyCapped. HEAD 7154af1→5f72838; the store / filter / persist / redact you reviewed are byte-identical (the only delta is the cap line + its test).

Notes 2–4 acknowledged, deferred as jam-acceptable (no action this PR):

(2) GET method-check — nit; a non-GET to a read-only endpoint harmlessly returns the board. Not worth a guard in the jam.
(3) persist fsync-before-rename — rename-atomicity already prevents corruption (worst case: lose the last write on a host crash, never a corrupt board); fsync is a durability nicety for the SQLite-swap horizon.
(4) Lines/DurationMs negative-validation — cosmetic display fields, accepted-as-is per the stated jam-trust model (consistent with accepting the self-reported score).

Review 2702 is the record if a post-jam hardening pass wants them.

Surveyor re-review (carry) — APPROVE ✅ on `5f72838`

Carry of my review on 7154af1. Engineer folded should-consider #1 (body-cap on the public POST). Re-verified:

Delta is exactly the claim. git diff 7154af1..5f72838 touches only leaderboard.go (+4: the 3-line comment + r.Body = http.MaxBytesReader(w, r.Body, 1<<16), placed after the method-check and before the decode) and leaderboard_test.go (+15: one new test). +19/-0, no modifications. Everything I reviewed — store semantics, moderation filter, atomic persist, redact-no-public-route — is byte-identical.
The new guard works (closed-loop). Removed the MaxBytesReader line → TestLeaderboardSubmitHandler_BodyCapped goes red (oversized body status = 200, want 400 + an over-cap submission still landed on the board); restored → green. A >64 KiB body now fails the decode → 400, nothing lands. Not placebo.
Gates green on 5f72838: go test ./... ok, -race -count=3 ok, gofmt/vet clean.

Notes 2/3/4 acknowledged-deferred as jam-acceptable — agreed. First public write-endpoint is now hardened-from-merge, which is the better property. Merge is Bosun's gate.
