Previously patchAll() re-rendered the full GameContent on every chat
message, which was inefficient and could cause UI glitches. Now we
append just the new ChatMessage to the chat history element.
Extract GameContent from GamePage so the SSE handler can patch a single
element and let DOM morphing diff the changes, replacing the per-component
sendGameComponents helper.
Move SaveMessage/LoadMessages logic into Room as private methods.
NewPersistentRoom auto-loads history and auto-saves on Send, removing
the need for handlers to coordinate persistence separately.
Create chat/ package with Message type, Room (NATS pub/sub + buffer),
DB persistence helpers, and a unified templ component parameterized by
Config (CSS prefix, post URL, color function, key propagation).
Both c4game and snakegame now use chat.Room for message management and
chatcomponents.Chat for rendering, eliminating the duplicated
ChatMessage types, chat templ components, chatAutoScroll scripts,
color functions, and inline buffer management.
Add GetPlayerID, GetUserID, GetNickname to the sessions package.
Remove the inline player-ID-from-session pattern duplicated across
every handler in c4game and snakegame, and the local getPlayerID
helper in snakegame.
Both game and snake packages had identical PlayerID types and the snake
package imported game.GenerateID. Now both use player.ID and
player.GenerateID from the shared player package.
- Replace Create+Get+Update with UpsertGame/UpsertSnakeGame queries
- Extract free functions (saveGame, loadGame, etc.) from duplicated
receiver methods on Store and Instance types
- Remove duplicate generateID from snake package, reuse game.GenerateID
- Throttle snake game DB writes to every 2s instead of every tick
- Fix double-lock in c4game chat handler
- Update all code for sqlc pointer types (*string instead of sql.NullString)
- Add brotli compression (level 5) to long-lived SSE event streams
(HandleGameEvents, HandleSnakeEvents) to reduce wire payload
- Fix all errcheck violations with nolint annotations for best-effort calls
- Fix goimports: separate stdlib, third-party, and local import groups
- Fix staticcheck: add package comments, use tagged switch
- Zero lint issues remaining
Inline persistence logic directly into game stores and handlers:
- game/persist.go: DB mapping methods on GameStore and GameInstance
- snake/persist.go: DB mapping methods on SnakeStore and SnakeGameInstance
- Chat persistence inlined into c4game handlers
- Delete db/persister.go (GamePersister, SnakePersister, ChatPersister)
- Stores now take *repository.Queries directly instead of Persister interface
Migrate from the via meta-framework to direct dependencies:
- chi for routing, templ for HTML templates, datastar for SSE/reactivity
- Feature-sliced architecture (features/{auth,lobby,c4game,snakegame}/)
- Shared layouts and components (features/common/)
- Handler factory pattern (HandleX(deps) http.HandlerFunc)
- Embedded NATS server (nats/), SCS sessions (sessions/), chi router wiring (router/)
- Move ChatMessage domain type from ui package to game package
- Remove old ui/ package (gomponents-based via/h views)
- Remove via dependency from go.mod entirely
