Resolves #6374

Description:

Flashes the browser tab's title and icon while a player has switched to another tab and the game is starting ot they need to choose a spawn location, this is so that people don't miss the spawn phase while waiting.
-While the tab is in the background the title alternated between the normal title and Game starting! / Choose your spawn! and the favicon alternated between the normal icon and the same icon with a white background (same size and everything)
-Flashing stops as soon as the tab is reopened or a spawn position is chosen, or after 2 minutes as a precaution.
-Adds a Flash Tab When Game Starts option in Settings, and is ON by default and takes effect immediately when switched.
-new strings are in "en.json" and go through "translateText()".
-Logic lives in a new "src/client/TabAttention.ts", wired into "Main.ts" (game starting) and "ClientGameRunner.ts" (spawn phase).
-Testing: added tests/client/TabAttention.test.ts (10 tests). I also checked it by hand in the browser: started a singleplayer game, switched to another tab before spawning and confirmed the title and icon flashed, confirmed it stopped when returning to the tab and after spawning, and confirmed nothing flashed with the setting turned off.

Please complete the following:

  • I have added screenshots for all UI updates
  • I process any text displayed to the user through translateText() and I've added it to the en.json file
  • I have added relevant tests to the test directory

Walkthrough

The client flashes the page title and favicon in a hidden tab when a game is starting or the player still needs to spawn. A Gameplay setting controls the feature. The controller restores the original title and favicon when attention ends or the two-minute limit expires.

Changes

Tab Attention

Layer / File(s) Summary
Attention setting
src/client/UserSettings.ts, src/client/UserSettingModal.ts, resources/lang/en.json
The setting defaults to enabled and can be changed in the Gameplay modal. English strings label the setting and describe its behavior.
Attention controller
src/client/TabAttention.ts, tests/client/TabAttention.test.ts, resources/lang/en.json
TabAttention flashes the title and favicon while the tab is hidden. It handles visibility and focus changes, setting changes, restoration, and the two-minute timeout. Tests cover these behaviors.
Game lifecycle requests
src/client/Main.ts, src/client/ClientGameRunner.ts
Main requests attention at prestart. ClientGameRunner requests attention during eligible spawn phases and releases it when the condition ends or the runner stops. The runner also handles pending game loads and repeated stops.

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

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 13676

The tab flash is added behind a default-on setting. In a rare case where a player rapidly switches local lobbies, a stale join can cancel the new lobby's "starting" flash. The failure is cosmetic and recovers at the spawn phase, so the PR is mergeable with this small fix pending.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: the tab title and icon flash when the game starts or a spawn is needed. It matches the TabAttention feature in the changeset. It is short and specific, and it does not use vague terms.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue [#6374] objectives, checked against the whole-PR diff and src/client/TabAttention.ts at the reviewed head:

  • [#6374] Background-only flashing: sync() and startFlashing() run only when document.hidden is true. Nothing changes in a visible tab.
  • [#6374] Title and icon alternation: flash() and apply() alternate document.title between translateText("tab_attention.starting") and translateText("tab_attention.pick_spawn"). They alternate the favicon between the original link[rel~="icon"] href and an inline white-tile ship SVG (PNG via canvas when available). FLASH_INTERVAL_MS = 250 gives the requested rate.
  • [#6374] Starting and spawn phases: Main.ts requests "starting". ClientGameRunner requests "spawn" during the spawn phase and releases on spawn or stop.
  • [#6374] Restore and stop rules: apply(false) restores the saved title and icon on visibility change, release, disable, and expiry. MAX_FLASH_MS is 2 minutes of hidden flashing time.
  • [#6374] Setting: settings.tabAttention defaults to on via UserSettings. isEnabled() is checked on each request, sync, and blink. The toggle is in UserSettingModal.ts. The English keys are in en.json.
  • [#6374] Existing favicon asset: not changed. The alert icon is generated in code.
  • [#6374] Tests: tests/client/TabAttention.test.ts is present (per diff summary, 224 lines). I did not read or run it in this pass.

Residual ambiguity: after the 2-minute expiry, expiredKind blocks further flashing for the same kind until release. A later visibilitychange to hidden does not restart flashing in that case. The issue says alerting resumes when the player leaves the tab again while still needing to act. The issue also says the timeout gives up the alert. The code follows the timeout reading. This is a design interpretation, not a clear unmet requirement.

No concrete unmet coding requirement is shown.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed areas relate to the tab alert in [#6374]:

  • TabAttention.ts, the settings accessors and toggle, the en.json keys, and the test file implement the requested feature.
  • Main.ts and ClientGameRunner.ts wire requests into the starting and spawn phases.
  • The lobbyStopped guard and tabAttention.release() calls in joinLobby, and the stop(releaseTabAttention) flag, prevent a stale lobby from clearing a newer lobby's alert. This directly supports the alert lifecycle.
  • ClientGameRunner.stop() now calls worker.cleanup() before the inactive early return. This is a small change to worker cleanup that the alert does not strictly require. The inline comment ties it to alert cleanup, and it does not appear unrelated. Its idempotency was not verified in this pass.

No change is shown to be unrelated to [#6374].

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: One small logic issue to fix before merging. Findings: 0 high, 1 medium, 0 low.

src/client/ClientGameRunner.ts

[Medium] Spectators are told "Choose your spawn!" (ClientGameRunner.ts#L1241-L1249)

needsSpawn is inSpawnPhase() && !this.gameView.myPlayer()?.hasSpawned(). A client with no player (spectator: true lobbies, where GameView.myPlayer() stays null) gets !undefined === true. So a spectator who switches tabs sees the title flash "Choose your spawn!" for the whole spawn phase, even though they can't spawn.

Suggested fix: require a player before asking them to spawn, for example:

const me = this.gameView.myPlayer();
const needsSpawn = this.gameView.inSpawnPhase() && me !== null && !me.hasSpawned();

(During the first ticks, before the player appears in the view, this would release the "starting" flash slightly early. If that matters, keep the "starting" request alive while myPlayer() is still null and the client isn't a spectator.)


Checked for bugs and CLAUDE.md compliance (i18n via translateText/en.json, homepage import rules, jsdom test placement). No other issues found.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Avoid creating a UserSettings instance on every enabled check.

The isEnabled callback runs on every game tick through request, and on every blink. Each call creates a new UserSettings. The class reads from a static cache, so this is cheap. Still, keep one instance and reuse it.

Proposed fix

-export const tabAttention = new TabAttention(() =>
-  new UserSettings().tabAttention(),
-);
+const userSettings = new UserSettings();
+export const tabAttention = new TabAttention(() => userSettings.tabAttention());

Do not start a runner after its lobby stops.

If a replay is stopped while game creation is pending, the local server can return queued turns to the stale runner. An update can then clear a newer lobby’s tab alert. Check lobbyStopped before starting the runner, and dispose its resources without releasing the newer alert.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Reviewed range: 30fb97c..4b2dff8 (incremental since the last Claude review).

Verdict: The spectator finding from the last review is fixed (canPickSpawn now checks isIntentionalSpectator()). This round adds two small regressions. Findings: 0 high, 1 medium, 1 low.

src/client/TabAttention.ts

[Medium] Once the "starting" flash expires, the spawn alert can never be shown (TabAttention.ts#L60-L62)

The new expired latch applies to every kind of request, and only release() clears it. When the tab is hidden, Main.ts requests "starting" on prestart. If loading takes more than 2 minutes of hidden flashing, expire() sets expired = true. In single-player, loading has no fixed limit: the terrain fetch has no timeout and worker.initialize() can take up to 60s. When the game starts, updateTabAttention() calls request("spawn") on the first tick without calling release() first, so if (this.expired) return; drops the request. Single-player's spawn phase waits until the human spawns, so a player who is tabbed away is never told to pick a spawn, which is the case this feature is meant to cover. Switching tabs back and forth doesn't help, because visibility changes don't clear expired either.

This is a regression. At 30fb97c, expire set kind = null, and request() reset startedAt when kind === null, so "spawn" got a fresh 2 minutes.

Suggested fix: scope the latch to the kind that expired. For example, store expiredKind in expire() and use if (kind === this.expiredKind) return; in request(). Alternatively, clear expired when a different kind is requested. A test for "starting expires, then spawn is requested" would cover this.

src/client/ClientGameRunner.ts

[Low] Stopping a superseded lobby handle can still clear a newer lobby's flash (ClientGameRunner.ts#L465-L476)

The new alreadyStopped guard only stops a second stop() on the same handle from releasing again. The comment says "A repeated stop must not clear a newer lobby's flash", but a stale handle's first stop() still clears it. In Main.handleJoinLobby, an older join that is still waiting (most often on getTurnstileToken) creates its handle, sees mostRecentJoinEvent !== event.timeStamp, and calls newLobbyHandle.stop(true). That handle has no runner and lobbyStopped === false, so the else branch calls tabAttention.release() on the shared singleton.

Concrete case: a player joins a multiplayer lobby while Turnstile is slow, backs out, and starts a single-player game. Single-player reaches prestart right away and requests "starting". When the old join resumes, it clears that request, so a player who tabs away during loading gets no "Game starting!" flash. A random-spawn game never gets a later spawn request to bring the alert back.

Suggested fix: only release if this handle's own prestart resolved, since that is when Main requested the flash (for example, track a prestarted flag next to lobbyStopped). Or have Main skip the release on the superseded path.


Checked for bugs and CLAUDE.md compliance (i18n, homepage import rules, jsdom test placement). The per-run reset of the 2-minute limit (startedAt in startFlashing()) matches the new comments and tests, so it is not flagged.

Reviewed range: 4b2dff8..6251d9e (incremental since the last Claude review).

Verdict: No issues found. Findings: 0 high, 0 medium, 0 low.

Both findings from the last review are fixed:

  • "starting" expiry blocking the spawn alert: TabAttention now stores expiredKind. Only repeat requests for the kind that timed out are ignored, so "spawn" still gets its own two-minute run after "starting" expires. A new test covers this case.
  • A stale lobby handle clearing a newer lobby's flash: joinLobby now sets prestarted inside the prestart resolver, and stop() only releases when prestarted && !alreadyStopped. A superseded join that never reached prestart no longer clears the newer lobby's flash.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Reviewed range: 27d13d4..faab402 (incremental since the last Claude review).

Verdict: No issues found. Findings: 0 high, 0 medium, 0 low.

TabAttention.request() now restarts startedAt only when the kind changes. A "spawn" request that replaces a nearly finished "starting" run gets its own two minutes. Repeating the same kind keeps the existing deadline. The new line runs after the expiredKind check, so a kind that already expired still cannot restart its limit. startFlashing() resets startedAt when flashing actually begins, so the "only count time spent flashing in a hidden tab" rule still holds. The two new tests in tests/client/TabAttention.test.ts cover both cases.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Reviewed range: faab402..1367645 (incremental since the last Claude review).

Verdict: No issues found. Findings: 0 high, 0 medium, 0 low.

This range only merges main into the branch. None of the PR's own code changed: TabAttention.ts, UserSettings.ts, UserSettingModal.ts and TabAttention.test.ts are not in the diff. Main's changes in the files this PR also touches leave the tab-flash feature working:

  • ClientGameRunner.ts: main adds GameHealth wiring around the PR's hooks without breaking them.
    • this.updateTabAttention() still runs once per update after renderer.tick().
    • stop(releaseTabAttention) still releases the flash first, and only when asked.
    • Main's new visibilitychange listener is registered on its own and only feeds the health check.
  • Main.ts: main switches some isDesktopShell() checks to isSteamShell(). These cover Turnstile, the Steam notice and the join gate, none of which are on the prestart path that requests the "starting" flash.
  • en.json: the merge removes no key this PR relies on.
  • index.html: main adds only an apple-touch-icon link, placed after the existing favicon <link rel="icon">. The existing title and favicon elements are unchanged.

Review comments at @src/client/ClientGameRunner.ts:
- Line 486: Update Main’s join flow to check whether the lobby has been
superseded after resolving awaited inputs and before calling joinLobby(), so a
stale local join cannot start or release another lobby’s attention;
alternatively, track attention ownership and release it only when it belongs to
that lobby. Add a regression case where a superseded local join completes after
the current lobby requests attention.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Reviewed range: 1367645..fd531ac (incremental since the last Claude review).

Verdict: No issues found. Findings: 0 high, 0 medium, 0 low.

This range only merges main into the branch, bringing in #6426 (sign in and link Google through the Android app's native sheet). None of the PR's own files changed. TabAttention.ts, Main.ts, ClientGameRunner.ts, UserSettings.ts, UserSettingModal.ts and TabAttention.test.ts are not in the diff.

  • en.json: the merge only adds four account_modal.google_sign_in_* keys. It removes nothing, so the tab_attention.* and user_setting.tab_attention_* keys are still there, and no key names clash.
  • Auth.ts, DesktopShell.ts, AccountModal.ts: the new Google sign-in flow doesn't touch document.title, the favicon, visibility handling or the prestart/spawn path, so the tab flash is unaffected.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Reviewed range: fd531ac..2782f37 (incremental since the last Claude review).

Verdict: The merge from main left unresolved conflict markers in ClientGameRunner.ts, so this commit doesn't build. Findings: 1 high, 0 medium, 0 low.

src/client/ClientGameRunner.ts

[High] Merge conflict markers committed in stop(), so the client doesn't compile (ClientGameRunner.ts#L1316-L1352)

The conflict between this PR's updateTabAttention() / stop(releaseTabAttention) and main's new health-check cleanup in stop() was never resolved. The file now contains <<<<<<< HEAD (around L1317), ======= (around L1343) and >>>>>>> upstream/main (around L1351), plus two public stop( declarations. That isn't valid TypeScript, so npm run typecheck, npm run build-prod, the dev server and any test that imports ClientGameRunner all fail on this commit.

Picking only one side won't fix it:

  • Keep only HEAD: the health interval, the visibilitychange listener and the health indicators leak after every game.
  • Keep only main: r.stop(false) in joinLobby stops compiling, and leaving mid-spawn no longer releases the tab flash.

Suggested fix: delete the markers and merge both sides into one method:

public stop(releaseTabAttention: boolean = true) {
  if (releaseTabAttention) tabAttention.release();
  if (this.healthTimer !== null) clearInterval(this.healthTimer);
  this.healthTimer = null;
  document.removeEventListener("visibilitychange", this.updateHealth);
  this.healthIndicators?.remove();
  this.healthIndicators = null;
  this.health.reset(performance.now());
  this.soundManager.dispose();
  // ...rest unchanged

Then run npm run typecheck and npx vitest tests/client/TabAttention.test.ts --run.


Everything else in this range comes from main: the "new" map category in info.json, manifest.json and Maps.gen.ts. It doesn't affect the tab-flash feature. Checked for bugs and CLAUDE.md compliance.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Reviewed range: 2782f37..91308ea (incremental since the last Claude review).

Verdict: No new issues found. Findings: 0 high, 0 medium, 0 low.

The only commit in this range is 91308ea ("Restart github actions"). It is empty and changes no files.

Still open from the last review: the unresolved merge conflict markers in src/client/ClientGameRunner.ts stop() (<<<<<<< HEAD / ======= / >>>>>>> upstream/main) are still in the PR diff. The client will not compile until both sides are merged into one stop(releaseTabAttention = true) method, as described in the previous review comment.

Checked for bugs and CLAUDE.md compliance.

A superseded local join still reaches prestart inside joinLobby(), so the
prestarted/lobbyStopped flags treated it as owning a flash it never asked
for, and stopping it cleared the current lobby's flash.

Give each lobby a token (LobbyConfig.tabAttentionOwner, created in Main and
passed to both request("starting") and the runner). TabAttention.release(owner)
only acts for the current owner, and a new owner starts with a fresh kind,
deadline and expiry. This replaces the prestarted/alreadyStopped/lobbyStopped
guards around release with one rule, and drops ClientGameRunner.stop's
releaseTabAttention flag.
The merge brought back the "new" category that openfrontio#6422 removed, so the PR was
carrying unrelated map changes. Take upstream's versions.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Reviewed range: 91308ea..4d0c8ac (incremental since the last Claude review).

Verdict: No issues found. Findings: 0 high, 0 medium, 0 low.

The high finding from the last review is fixed. The conflict markers in ClientGameRunner.stop() are gone, and there is now one stop(). It releases this lobby's flash first, then runs main's health-check cleanup: the timer, the visibilitychange listener, the indicators and health.reset.

What else changed in this range:

  • Ownership tokens: TabAttention now tracks which lobby made each request.
    • request(kind, owner) from a new owner starts fresh, with no kind, expiry or deadline carried over from the previous owner.
    • release(owner) only acts if that owner still holds the request. release() with no owner still always clears, which the setting toggle relies on.
    • Main.ts creates one owner per join and passes it in LobbyConfig.tabAttentionOwner. The runner reads it from the same lobbyConfig object, so the "starting" request, the "spawn" request and stop() all use the same owner.
  • Removed guards: this replaces the prestarted/alreadyStopped checks in joinLobby. A superseded join or a repeated stop() can now release only its own request, so it can no longer clear a newer lobby's flash.
  • Tests: an ownership block in tests/client/TabAttention.test.ts covers these cases.

The info.json, manifest.json and Maps.gen.ts hunks (removing the "new" map category) come from merging main and don't touch the tab-flash feature.
