Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5 afa0e17483 Credibility pass: the fast-edit shavings swept from the ops-and-rev-13 batch
Server: turnFacts joins actingSeat's full priority order (a hanging
ward or slow-death window now reads as the lobby's attention, stubs
included), summarize and stubOf share one baseSummary, the stranded
doc comment returns to summarize, the protocol contract names
feedbackList, Sentry init moves below the imports it cannot precede,
randomBytes joins its group, the feedback path hoists once with the
operator-fields note. Engine: the safe's sight check trusts castSight
alone, the locked-safe predicate becomes lockedSafeAt, the doomed-grab
test drives both seats and must reach endTurn. Web: the twin safe
handlers merge, paPoints joins the reset ritual with a derived burnable
range, five decorative empty handlers and a dead class go, the hand
earns real list semantics, fitHandCards cites Card.svelte's tokens,
two wrap-sites reindent, feedbackReports moves home as a named type,
and the chronicle's stay-mounted reason is stated. feedback-reply.sh
adopts its siblings' set/usage conventions and speaks Node. Two test
screenshots leave the repo root.

Deploying Wiz-War

The game runs on a single DigitalOcean droplet: one Node process serves the built client and the websocket on port 8787; Caddy in front terminates TLS with automatic certificates. Room files persist in /var/lib/wizwar/rooms and survive deploys and reboots.

Current production

  • Droplet: wizwar (nyc3, s-1vcpu-1gb, tag wizwar), IP 104.236.96.198
  • URLs: https://wizwar.kestrelsnest.social and https://wizwar.104.236.96.198.sslip.io (always works, zero DNS). Caddy serves both; NOTE: kestrelsnest.social's authoritative DNS is at HOVER (ns1/ns2.hover.com), not DigitalOcean — records must be added there. A matching record also sits in the DO zone in case nameservers ever move.

Everyday deploys

deploy/deploy.sh 104.236.96.198

Builds the client locally, rsyncs the repo (minus node_modules, data/, .git, research), installs dependencies on the droplet, and restarts the service. Games in progress survive: state lives in room files, and clients reconnect automatically.

Before any deploy that touches the engine, run the determinism gate:

deploy/verify-ledgers.sh 104.236.96.198

It fetches every production ledger and strictly replays it against the local engine; a single refused command fails the check. A room whose ledger no longer replays becomes unreachable after restart, so this is not optional.

New droplet from scratch

  1. doctl compute droplet create wizwar --region nyc3 --size s-1vcpu-1gb \ --image ubuntu-24-04-x64 --ssh-keys <your-key-ids> --tag-name wizwar --wait
  2. scp deploy/setup-droplet.sh root@<ip>:/root/ && ssh root@<ip> \ "bash /root/setup-droplet.sh wizwar.<ip>.sslip.io"
  3. deploy/deploy.sh <ip>

Operations

  • Logs: ssh root@<ip> journalctl -u wizwar -f
  • Restart: ssh root@<ip> systemctl restart wizwar
  • Nightly backups: wizwar-backup.sh runs from root's crontab at 07:17 UTC, pushing /var/lib/wizwar to the kestrel-wizwar-backups Space (nyc3) via rclone. It is installed at /usr/local/bin/wizwar-backup.sh on the droplet; setup-droplet.sh does NOT install it — on a fresh droplet, copy the script, configure rclone (the script refuses to run while the config still holds its CHANGE_ME placeholder), and add the cron entry by hand.
  • One-off backup: scp -r root@<ip>:/var/lib/wizwar/rooms ./rooms-backup
