Part of #87 (server slice — not a close-keyword; the client slice closes it too). Built from the source-grounded verify-flag answer (tracker comment 72197), ratified by the operator.

The server half of Esc-aborts-running-game: a deliberate quit of an active match.

Mechanism (full reuse, no parallel mechanism)

• New {type:"forfeit"} client→server message → a readPump case → thin Lobby.Forfeit(p) → endMatch(1-p.idx, "forfeit", …).
• Reuses the existing explicit-winner path (TopOut already uses endMatch). MatchEndMessage.Reason already exists → no new wire field, no protocol break.

The two load-bearing semantic calls (please scrutinise)

1. endMatch, not endMatchDisconnect — recipient-semantics. The forfeiter stays connected (pressed Esc, didn't drop), so they must receive the matchEnd to transition their own UI → result/lobby. endMatch notifies both peers; endMatchDisconnect notifies only the survivor. Two paths with the same functional outcome ("opponent wins") but different recipients — the recipient difference is the deciding factor. TestForfeit_VersusOpponentWinsAndNotifiesBOTH pins that the forfeiter receives it.

2. Explicit message, not a raw WS-close. A raw close routes through the #12 grace window (the leaver could resume — breaks the forfeit semantic) and leaves them unnotified. A forfeit is a deliberate signal. (Independently converged on with Shipwright from the client side.)

Solo (defensive)

A solo match has no opponent seat to award the win to, so endMatch(1-p.idx, …) would deref the nil seat-1. Forfeit branches: solo → endSoloAbandoned (clean no-winner end, reused). This is defensive server cleanup so a solo run can't linger if a forfeit arrives without the socket dropping. Seam note for Shipwright: the solo-abort UX is client-side "back to yard" (#87) — confirm whether the client sends {type:"forfeit"} on solo-abort or just navigates + closes the WS. Either is safe here; this guard just ensures no leak/panic if it does send.

Stats + metric

• Stats zeroed — consistent with the disconnect-win path (endMatchDisconnect also ends without live stats; the run loop owns them and a quit doesn't surface them). Real stats would require routing through the loop; deferred as not worth the machinery for a quit (matches disconnect precedent).
• New cellblock_matches_ended_total{outcome="forfeit"} — the "optional metric" the dispatch left to my judgment; a forfeit/rage-quit rate is a genuine first-class product signal, consistent with the existing distinct outcomes (solo/disconnect/bothDisconnected). endMatch derives the outcome from reason (forfeit → forfeit metric; else → win), so TopOut is unchanged.

Verification

• cd server && go test ./... (exact CI) — green; go test -race — green; gofmt -l/vet clean; zero new lint findings (the main.go/metrics.go errcheck findings all pre-date this change).
• Mutation-verified: flipped the winner 1-p.idx → p.idx →

  --- FAIL: TestForfeit_VersusOpponentWinsAndNotifiesBOTH
      forfeit_test.go:49: forfeiter p0 matchEnd Winner = …, want seat 1
  

  reverted by re-edit, suite green.
• Tests: opponent-wins-and-both-notified, solo-ends-cleanly-no-panic, no-match no-op, idempotent (double-forfeit no-double-count), forfeit metric +1.

What this PR does NOT do

• No client UX (forfeit-frame send, double-Esc confirm, overlay, solo back-to-yard) — Shipwright's client slice. Both land → #87 closes.
• No true pause/unpause protocol — overlay-only per the ratified design (lean #1).
• No live match stats on the forfeit matchEnd — zeroed, per the disconnect precedent.
• Safe to merge independently: server-only is additive-dormant (no client sends forfeit yet → the case is inert for existing clients).

feat(server): versus forfeit endpoint — opponent wins, both notified (#87) ... 59ead9fcf5

Server slice of the Esc-aborts-running-game feature. A deliberate quit
of an active match.

New {type:"forfeit"} client→server message (readPump case) → thin
Lobby.Forfeit(p) → endMatch(1-p.idx, "forfeit"). Reuses the existing
explicit-winner path (TopOut already uses it); MatchEndMessage.Reason
already exists, so NO new wire field.

Why endMatch, not endMatchDisconnect: the forfeiter STAYS CONNECTED
(pressed Esc, didn't drop), so they must RECEIVE the matchEnd to
transition their own UI to the result/lobby screen. endMatch notifies
BOTH peers; endMatchDisconnect notifies only the survivor. And why an
explicit message, not a raw WS-close: a close routes through the #12
grace window (the leaver could resume) and leaves them unnotified — a
forfeit is a deliberate signal, not a disconnect.

Solo has no opponent to award the win to, so a forfeit there is a clean
abandon (reuses endSoloAbandoned) — defensive against a nil opponent
seat + a lingering run loop.

Stats zeroed, consistent with the disconnect-win path (the run loop owns
live stats; a quit doesn't surface them). New metric outcome
cellblock_matches_ended_total{outcome="forfeit"} so the forfeit/rage-quit
rate is a first-class signal.

Part of #87 (server slice). Client slice (forfeit-frame + double-Esc
confirm + overlay + solo back-to-yard) is Shipwright's; #87 closes when
both land.

Surveyor review — APPROVED ✅ (independently verified, head 59ead9f)

Clean, full-reuse server slice. Both load-bearing semantic calls verified at source (not just trusted to the test names), mutation-proven, gates reproduced green, behind-main composition checked. No must-fix, no should-consider.

The two semantic calls — both verified at source

1. endMatch (both-notify), not endMatchDisconnect (survivor-only) — correct. Confirmed in the actual send-loops, not just the test name:

• endMatch (lobby.go:396-398): for _, p := range m.players { sendCritical(p, end) } — sends the matchEnd to both seats. The forfeiter is in m.players, so they genuinely receive it.
• endMatchDisconnect (lobby.go:359-362): sends only to survivor.
• So the recipient difference is real and exactly as described — the forfeiter (still connected) gets the matchEnd and can transition their own UI. TestForfeit_…NotifiesBOTH pins it on both p0 and p1 (not just the winner), which is the right shape for this property.

2. Explicit message, not raw WS-close — correct. Forfeit → endMatch, which sends the explicit MatchEndMessage + close(m.done); it does not close the player WS. So the forfeiter is notified and the leave never routes through the #12 grace window (no resume-after-forfeit). The deliberate-signal semantic holds.

Solo guard — sound

Forfeit takes the m.solo branch (lobby.go:311) before any endMatch, calling the reused endSoloAbandoned (solo.go:166, also used by reconnect.go) — clean no-winner end, own matchEnded idempotency guard, metricMatchesEndedSolo+1, l.mu requirement satisfied. No nil-seat deref; TestForfeit_SoloEndsCleanlyNoPanic (players [p, nil]) confirms.

Idempotency + a small positive

• endMatch's select { case <-m.done: return; default: close(m.done) } under l.mu makes a double-forfeit (or forfeit-after-topOut) a safe no-op — no double-close panic, no double-count. TestForfeit_Idempotent confirms.
• Minor positive: Forfeit captures m := p.match then nil-checks before the lock — actually safer than TopOut, which re-reads p.match under the lock and would nil-deref if it raced to nil between its check and use. The captured-m pattern closes that window. (Pre-existing TopOut latent, not in scope here — just noting the new code is on the better side of it.)

Metric — clean

endMatch derives outcome from reason (forfeit → metricMatchesEndedForfeit; else → win), so TopOut is untouched. metrics.go adds the counter + the {outcome="forfeit"} line + the .Load() arg in matching positional order (verified format-string ↔ args alignment). A forfeit/rage-quit rate is a reasonable first-class signal alongside the existing distinct outcomes.

What I ran

• gofmt -l clean · go vet ./... exit 0 · go test ./... ok · go test -race ./... green.
• Mutation-proven: flipped Forfeit's winner 1-p.idx → p.idx → forfeit_test.go:49 reds for both recipients (winner=0, want seat 1); reverted, suite green. Matches the cited mutation.
• Behind-main composition (PR merge_base ef58614 ≠ current main bac6b70 — behind by the #94 merge): verified file-disjoint — the merge of current main touches only client/main.ts+nav.spec.ts (#94, client-only), zero conflicts, the Go server package is unchanged (vet 0, tests stable). Safe onto current main.

Conscious lines — affirmed

• Zeroed stats on the forfeit matchEnd: accept-as-conscious-line — consistent with the endMatchDisconnect precedent (run loop owns live stats; a quit doesn't surface them), deferred-with-rationale rather than building loop-routing machinery for a quit. Defensible.
• Additive-dormant: server-only, no client sends {type:"forfeit"} yet → the readPump case is inert for existing clients. Genuinely safe to merge independently of the client slice.
• The seam note to Shipwright (does the client send forfeit on solo-abort or just close the WS?) is the right adjacency-brief — and the server is defensive either way (solo forfeit → endSoloAbandoned; or socket-drop → existing grace path).

---

Disposition: APPROVED. Part of #87 (correctly not a close-keyword — the client slice closes it). Merge-ready on its own axis → routing to you, then Bosun's gate. The recipient-semantics reasoning (endMatch-vs-endMatchDisconnect by who receives, not just outcome) is exactly the right axis to have surfaced. 🔧

docs(server): lead solo-forfeit guard comment with untrusted-input framing (#87)

docs(server): lead solo-forfeit guard comment with untrusted-input framing (#87) ... a873450d31

Comment-only. The solo branch in Lobby.Forfeit is primarily untrusted-input
hardening — a network-facing readPump case must not nil-deref-panic if
{type:"forfeit"} arrives on a solo connection from any client, regardless of
what the official client sends (its solo-abort closes the WS, no forfeit
frame). Lead with that panic-vector framing so the guard isn't later deleted
as "dead on the live path"; keep the lingering-run rationale as secondary.
Surfaced by the Shipwright seam-confirm + Surveyor review of #95.

Surveyor re-stamp — APPROVED ✅ (re-pinned to a873450)

Bounded-delta re-confirm of my prior APPROVED (59ead9f) after the solo-guard comment-sharpen. A commit moved the head, so that stamp is superseded by this one; all prior verification (both-notify at source, explicit-vs-raw-close, solo guard, idempotency, gates, winner mutation forfeit_test.go:49, behind-main composition) carries forward unchanged because the code is byte-identical.

Delta verified 59ead9f..a873450 — genuinely comment-only:

• Only server/lobby.go's Lobby.Forfeit doc-comment changed (+10/−5); function signature + body byte-identical (non-comment changed lines = 0, checked).
• The comment now leads with the load-bearing framing: the solo branch is untrusted-input hardening — a network-facing readPump case must not nil-deref-panic on {type:"forfeit"} arriving on a solo connection from any client (future/reconnect-edge/hand-crafted), independent of the official client (whose solo-abort closes the WS with no forfeit frame). "Can't linger" is kept as the secondary reason, and the comment explicitly notes the framing exists so the guard "isn't later deleted as dead on the live path."
• gofmt clean · go test ./... green on the new head (necessarily identical — comments don't affect compilation).

This is exactly the sharpen we agreed: it corrects my own review's under-framing (I'd called it "defensive cleanup") and makes the guard self-documenting against future removal — good catch-and-fold. The doc gap this exchange surfaced is now closed at the code.

Disposition: APPROVED, merge-ready. Part of #87 (client slice closes it). → routing to you, then Bosun's gate. 🔧
