Four pre-launch additions to make the game feel alive and shareable:
- Live win feed: server broadcasts 'win_feed' on every escape; client shows a
transient toast ('X escaped with the bag') so the room feels active.
- Public stats: GET /api/stats (10s-cached) returns games + escapes in the last
24h and total paid out; a status-area strip polls it for social proof.
- Share-a-win: game-over screen gets 'Share to X' + 'Copy link' buttons pointing
at the /verify page, which now renders OpenGraph/Twitter-card meta (brand OG
image per instance) so shared links unfurl with a preview.
- Land-on-action: a dismissible 'N games live now — watch' CTA appears on connect
when games are in progress, opening the existing spectator panel. Non-intrusive:
hidden while playing/spectating and never hijacks the canvas.
- Currency display is now network-aware: XMR on a test network shows sXMR
(stagenet) / tXMR (testnet) so it's clear the coins aren't mainnet; mainnet
XMR shows XMR, Wownero stays WOW. A fork running mainnet automatically shows
XMR. cryptoType (used for decimals/QR asset) is unchanged.
- Product name (Monerogue/Wownerogue) is derived from the currency and no
longer hardcoded: the chat "Connected to <name> server" message, payment
descriptions, and the verify page title all follow it.
- Smirk is forced off on any test network (stagenet/testnet) regardless of
SMIRK_ENABLED, since Smirk only works on mainnet — so forks don't have to
remember the env flag.
New shared helpers (gameNameFor, currencyLabelFor, isTestNetworkFor); exposed
via game_mode_info (currencyLabel, gameName). Full suite: 22 suites / 159 tests.
- Remove the duplicate _gameMode declaration in the client SocketHandlers
object literal — it was declared twice, so the later `null` silently
shadowed the earlier `'free'`. Now declared once with the effective value.
- Remove the dead SocketHandlers._appendMessage calls in smirkAuth.js; that
method never existed, so the guard always fell through to the working
.text() append. Keep the safe append.
- Gate broadcastManager's high-volume per-event logs (user count, chat message
incl. message/socketId PII, game update, game start) behind debug mode;
previously they logged on every event regardless of NODE_ENV.
Full suite: 21 suites / 155 tests.
The client trusted the server to pre-escape chat content and rendered
user-supplied fields via .html()/innerHTML — one server regression away from
stored XSS, and the admin panel injected user-controlled payout addresses
into its authenticated DOM.
- Add a single shared escapeHtml helper (escapes all five HTML-significant
chars including both quotes); leaderboard now delegates to it.
- Escape chat username + message in onChatBroadcast/onChatHistory.
- Escape user-controlled fields in the admin panel (payout address, socket
id, player name, status) and make its local escapeHtml quote-safe so values
in title="..." can't break out.
- Add CSP plus X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options and Referrer-Policy
headers via middleware. connect-src 'self' keeps Socket.IO working;
removing 'unsafe-inline' (nonces) is tracked as a later cleanup.
Full suite: 13 suites / 119 tests.
- Fix game start failure in direct payment mode when payment confirms
before mempool detection (add player to queue if not already there)
- Fix debug logging in production: correct indentation in debugRegisteredUsers,
swap console_logging config (false in prod, true in debug)
- Add close button to QR code container
- Auto-hide QR on payment detected, confirmed, and game start
