The rating recovery CLI mode (-mode=recalc-ratings) was using
glicko2Tau (0.5) instead of glicko2DefaultSigma (0.06) for the
default sigma value when resetting ratings. This caused the reset
sigma to be ~8x higher than the schema-defined default.
Added glicko2DefaultSigma constant (0.06) and updated ResetAllRatings
and recalcRatings to use it correctly.

Implements the rating recovery procedure specified in plan §12.3.
Running 'go run ./cmd/acb-worker -mode=recalc-ratings' will:
1. Reset all bot ratings to Glicko-2 defaults (mu=1500, phi=350, sigma=0.06)
2. Fetch all completed matches from the database in chronological order
3. Replay each match to recompute Glicko-2 ratings from scratch
4. Update the bots table with the recalculated ratings
This is needed for disaster recovery when ratings are corrupted or lost.
Database functions added:
- ResetAllRatings: resets all bot ratings to defaults
- GetAllCompletedMatches: fetches completed matches chronologically with participants
- UpdateAllRatings: bulk updates all bot ratings in a single transaction

predictions, and docs.
- Add SiteURL config field (ACB_SITE_URL env var, defaults to
https://aicodebattle.com)
- Add generateSitemap() function with proper XML encoding
- Add SitemapURL and Sitemap types for XML marshaling
- Call generateSitemap() at the end of generateAllIndexes()
- Write sitemap.xml to output directory alongside leaderboard.json

Add comprehensive JSON Schema for replay format (v1) as specified in
plan §15.2. This enables third-party tooling to validate and understand
replay files programmatically.
Schema documents:
- Root replay object (format_version, match_id, config, timestamps)
- Match result (winner, reason, scores, stats)
- Player information
- Map data (walls, cores, energy nodes)
- Turn-by-turn state (bots, cores, energy, scores, events)
- Optional win probability curve and critical moments
- Event types (bot_spawned, bot_died, energy_collected, core_captured,
combat_death, collision_death)
- Debug telemetry for bot reasoning visualization
All fields include descriptions, types, constraints, and examples.

Implements plan §3.9 requirement for INV-6 invariant verification.
The test runs thousands of random scenarios across various grid
dimensions (30x30 to 200x200) and multiple random seeds to verify
that no bot, energy, core, or wall position ever has coordinates
outside the valid bounds [0, rows) x [0, cols).
Test coverage:
- Random wall placement with potentially out-of-bounds input
- 1000 random Wrap() calls with positions far outside bounds
- Move() operations from edge and corner positions in all directions
- Neighbors() and VisibleFrom() return value validation
The test uses a manual random-seed loop approach for maximum
control and reproducibility, testing 6 grid sizes × 10 seeds
for comprehensive coverage of the toroidal wrapping invariant.

- Add map_engagement_test.go with tests for:
- Win prob dependency in map engagement (lead changes counted)
- Critical moments dependency in engagement score
- Empty/nil replay handling
- Complete ComputeWinProbability + SetWinProbability flow
This confirms the existing implementation already correctly:
- Computes win probability via Monte Carlo rollout (100 iterations)
- Sets win_prob and critical_moments on replay before serialization
- Calculates map engagement score from win_prob_crossings and critical_moments
- Writes engagement score to maps table via UpdateMapEngagement
Task: bf-qps
- Add engine.CalculateMapEngagement() to compute map engagement scores from replay data (win_prob_crossings, critical_moments, map_coverage_pct, closeness, turn_pct)
- Add DBClient.UpdateMapEngagement() to update map engagement using rolling average
- Worker now calculates and writes map engagement scores after each match
- Add test to verify win_prob array is non-empty in produced replays
This implements the win probability Monte Carlo array storage in replay JSON
feature. The engine already called ComputeWinProbability() in MatchRunner.Run(),
so this commit adds the missing map engagement tracking.

Energy node placement now uses a tiered radius distribution: 30% in the
contested central zone (0.05-0.20 from center), 40% in the mid-zone
(0.20-0.40), and 30% in the home zone (0.40-0.60). Previously nodes were
placed uniformly at 0.20-0.70, letting bots farm their home quadrant
indefinitely without crossing the midline.
After cellular automata wall generation, a 3-wide corridor is carved from
each core straight to the map center, plus a 5x5 open arena at the center
tile. This creates lanes that funnel bots into contact — replicating the key
mechanic that drove frequent fights in the original AI Challenge Ants game,
where symmetric food spawning near the midfield forced both colonies to
expand outward and collide.

Adds combat_turns metric (distinct turns where ≥1 bot died from enemy
focus-fire, excluding self-collisions). Worker computes it after each
match; index builder sorts matches/index.json and the new most-combat
playlist descending by it, and bumps interest score for combat-heavy
matches so they surface in highlights.
Also switches homepage featured replay default view from influence to
standard so the actual bot-on-bot combat is visible.

All 10 non-gatherer bots included timestamp in the request verification
signing string but the engine (auth.go SignRequest) does not include
timestamp. Every incoming turn request failed 401 verification, bots
crashed after 10 turns, and all matches ended in stalemate.
The engine documentation in auth.go is also misleading (old comment
mentioned timestamp in signing string) but the actual implementation
never included it. Fixed all language implementations to match.
Affected: random (py), swarm (ts), hunter (java), guardian (php),
rusher (rs), assassin (rs), phalanx (rs), opportunist (go),
farmer (go), scout (py), raider (java)

Bot responses send direction as a string ("N","E","S","W") but the
engine Direction type is int with no custom JSON handling. json.Unmarshal
was failing silently, leaving Direction=0 (DirNone) for every move —
bots never moved and every match ended in stalemate.
MarshalJSON serializes as string; UnmarshalJSON accepts both forms.

TestThreeMonthAgeCheck used 89*24h as "3 months minus 1 day", but
89 calendar days == exactly 3 months on dates like May 1 (Feb+Mar+Apr=
28+31+30=89). The equality case makes the >3-month eligibility check
return true instead of false. Replace with AddDate-relative anchors
so the test stays correct regardless of current date.

The old test used "0"+sig[1:] to corrupt the signature. If the real HMAC
starts with "0", the corruption is a no-op and the test fails non-deterministically.
Replace with a fixed 64-char hex constant that is never a valid HMAC output.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two root causes prevented bots from making any moves:
1. SignRequest signing string included timestamp ({match_id}.{turn}.{timestamp}.{hash})
but all bots implement verifySignature without timestamp ({match_id}.{turn}.{hash}).
Fixed by dropping timestamp from the signing string; X-ACB-Timestamp header is still
sent for clock-skew checks but not in the HMAC.
2. The API stores bot secrets AES-GCM encrypted (184 hex chars) in the DB. The worker
was passing the ciphertext directly as the HMAC key, while bots use their plaintext
k8s secret (64 hex chars). Fixed by decrypting in the worker using ACB_ENCRYPTION_KEY.
Also tightens the home page winner filter to exclude winner_id="0" stalemates.

Playlist card images were pointing at /replays/{id}.jpg which returns

Replace /replays/{id}.json.gz with /r2/replays/{id}.json.gz in all pages

"Unexpected token '<', <!DOCTYPE..." JSON parse errors. The R2 proxy at

Router: strip query string from hash path before route matching, and merge
hash query params (e.g. ?url=) into the params passed to route handlers.
Add /watch/replay route (without :id) so ?url= links work without a path ID.
Embed: fall back to demo replay when the match replay is not found in R2/B2
instead of showing "Failed to fetch" (handles test match IDs with no replay).
App: extend skeleton and PIP checks to match /watch/replay (with or without :id).

Cloudflare CDN strips Content-Encoding: gzip from Worker responses even when
explicitly set, leaving browsers with raw gzip bytes they cannot parse as JSON.
Fix by piping .gz objects through DecompressionStream('gzip') inside the Worker
so the response body is always plain JSON — no Content-Encoding header needed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
R2 Workers binding strips Content-Encoding: gzip from served objects even
when stored with that metadata — the Pages Function now re-applies it for
.gz keys so browsers decompress the body before parsing as JSON.
Change X-Frame-Options from DENY to SAMEORIGIN so the home page can embed
/embed.html in its featured-replay iframe (same origin is fine here).

_worker.js static file approach fails — Cloudflare rejects it when uploaded
as a static asset. Instead, copy web/functions/ into the image and set
wrangler CWD to /app/web/ so it discovers functions/ and uploads the Pages
Functions bundle correctly on every deploy cycle.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every index-builder deploy was overwriting the production Pages deployment
without functions (wrangler ran from /tmp, no functions/ dir visible).
Compiling functions/ to dist/_worker.js during the Docker web-builder stage

AWS SDK Go v2 s3 v1.100.0 defaults to RequestChecksumCalculationWhenSupported,
which causes PutObject to send STREAMING-UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD-TRAILER — a chunked

standard signed payload instead, resolving the 403 SignatureDoesNotMatch.

Adds R2 (Cloudflare) as a direct upload target alongside B2 (cold archive).
When ACB_R2_* credentials are configured, the worker uploads replays and
thumbnails to R2 immediately after each match, bypassing the index-builder's
B2→R2 promotion cycle.
This is necessary because ARMOR's B2 app key is write-only; reads via the
direct S3 path return 403. The Cloudflare CDN read path (armor-hub-b2.ardenone.com)
is dead post-hub-decommission. Direct R2 upload ensures replays are available
without waiting for a working B2 read path.

EndpointResolverV2 with a custom static URI does not honor UsePathStyle —
the resolver provides the final endpoint and the SDK does not re-apply
path-style bucket addressing on top of it. This means the bucket name was
dropped from the request path even with UsePathStyle=true, sending PUTs
to /replays/... instead of /armor-apexalgo/replays/...
BaseEndpoint is the SDK's documented approach for S3-compatible custom
endpoints; it sets the base URL and then correctly applies path-style
addressing to produce /bucket/key URLs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two fixes:
1. Add UsePathStyle=true to B2 S3 client. Without it the SDK uses
virtual-hosted addressing, dropping the bucket name from the request
path. Uploads hit /replays/... instead of /armor-apexalgo/replays/...
causing NoSuchBucket errors on every replay/thumbnail PutObject.
2. Don't update crash_strikes for normal game endings (stalemate, turns).
In snake-style games every bot eventually crashes into a wall/snake —
that is the expected end condition, not an HTTP error. The old code
treated all Crashed[] entries from the engine as errors, causing all
6 bots to accumulate strikes after every single match and hitting the
30-min cooldown threshold after just 3 matches.

The BaseEndpoint approach with older aws-sdk-go-v2 causes
"Invalid region: region was not a valid DNS name" errors when
uploading to ARMOR's S3-compatible endpoint.
Switching to EndpointResolverV2 bypasses the SDK's endpoint
rule validation entirely, resolving the issue.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fixes 'Invalid region: region was not a valid DNS name' error when
uploading replays to B2 via ARMOR proxy.
The error was caused by a known bug in aws-sdk-go-v2 v1.41.4 where
the endpoint resolver would validate the region as a DNS name even
when using a custom BaseEndpoint with UsePathStyle=true.
Upgraded SDK versions:
- github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2 v1.41.4 -> v1.41.6
- github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/config v1.32.12 -> v1.32.16

The AWS SDK requires a valid AWS region name even when using custom
S3-compatible endpoints (ARMOR/B2). Using "auto" as the region causes
an error: "Invalid region: region was not a valid DNS name."
This fixes the replay upload pipeline which was failing with the
invalid region error. Replays should now upload successfully to B2
via the ARMOR proxy.
Related to ai-code-battle-o43: Replay viewer verification task.
Verification results:
1. ✅ /data/blog/index.json exists and has 1 post (meta-week-13-season-1)
2. ✅ Individual post pages load correctly at /blog/{slug}
3. ✅ Blog post JSON structure matches frontend expectations (content_md field)
4. ✅ Tags and filters implemented in UI (All, Meta Reports, Chronicles buttons)
5. ✅ Blog page builds successfully (blog-D4QMd11d.js included in build)
Current state: Blog infrastructure is fully implemented with:
- LLM-powered narrative generation (blog.go, narrative.go)
- Story arc detection (rise, fall, rivalry, upset, evolution milestones)
- Weekly meta report generation with ELO movers, strategy analysis
- Chronicles for story arcs (rivalry, upset, rise/fall, evolution)
- Tag-based filtering and search
Note: Current blog content is placeholder/template-based. Meaningful
match commentary will be generated when:
- ACB_LLM_BASE_URL and ACB_LLM_API_KEY are configured in index-builder
- Real match data exists in PostgreSQL database
- Story arcs are detected from rating history and match results
Add test-replay-viewer-demo.html for end-to-end testing of the
replay viewer with the demo replay file. Useful for verifying:
- Replay loading and parsing
- Canvas rendering (grid, bots, energy cells)
- Playback controls (play/pause, step, reset)
- Mobile browser compatibility

Remove custom endpoint resolver and use AWS SDK's standard approach
for S3-compatible endpoints:
- Use config.WithRegion("auto") for custom endpoints
- Set BaseEndpoint directly via s3.NewFromConfig options
- Add UsePathStyle for B2 compatibility
This fixes the 'Invalid region: region was not a valid DNS name' error
that was preventing replay uploads. The deployment manifest already
sets ACB_B2_REGION to empty string to avoid conflicts.

The AWS SDK rejects 'us-east-1' as a region when using a custom S3-compatible
endpoint (ARMOR proxy wrapping Backblaze B2). The B2 client code already
hardcodes config.WithRegion('auto') which is correct for S3-compatible APIs.
This fixes the 'Invalid region: region was not a valid DNS name' error that
was preventing replay uploads to B2.
