Rebuild the home landing layout into a streamlined, more scannable
design: a centered focused hero, feature cards, a compact stats row,
and clearer news/users sections. Rework the register page into a
balanced two-column layout with a tidier intro panel and sticky form.
Add statsArticles translation key across locale files; verified with
tsc and biome.
The landing page showed the same information more than once. Drop the second
avatar grid (latest users) and its DB query, move the online users grid into
the left column, remove the register banner card and the bottom join CTA so
registration is only offered once in the hero, and show the online count a
single time in the hero badge instead of also in the stats row. The online
users query now fetches 12 rows instead of 30, saving bandwidth on every
uncached render. The avatar presentation contract test now expects one
thumbnail call site on the home page.
Fetch the Nitro client iframe with high priority so the browser starts the
game document before competing resources, and replace the bare /client
spinner with a branded boot screen. Preconnect and eager loading were already
in place; typing support for the iframe fetchPriority prop is added in a
React type augmentation.
Rework the register terms block into a single clickable accept control with
a custom check state, error shake and inline hint, and dim the submit button
until the terms are accepted. The register page gets labeled sections
(account details / credentials), a corrected banner overlay, translated
show/hide toggles and a captcha slot that reserves height to avoid layout
shifts. English is the source of truth; other locales fall back to it.
Reuse the outstanding auth_ticket instead of minting a fresh one on every
/client load, so reloading the page or opening a second tab no longer
invalidates a game session that is still connecting. New tickets are minted
with a guard against the previously-read value so concurrent launches
converge on the same ticket.
Revoke the auth_ticket when signing out (toolbar, header and sign-out
everywhere) so a leaked ticket can no longer be replayed against the
emulator, and prevent SSO leakage via referral by setting no-referrer on the
client iframe. Strip all whitespace from the ticket prefix and build the
launch URL through a tested helper that handles query strings, existing sso
params and URL fragments correctly.
Replace the pure-JS lzma decoder with lzma-wasm (Rust/WASM, base64-inlined,
zero-alloc decompress), giving an order-of-magnitude speedup on furni
imports. Remove the obsolete lzma type shim and the redundant top-level
vite dev dependency, which nothing imports directly.
Wrap next/link in a shared Link component that ships prefetch=false by
default, so no route is ever prefetched (viewport or hover) anymore, and
drop the DNS prefetch hint. Removes hidden background requests that were
the source of intermittent issues.
