# Phase 3E-Final: WebSocket Event Handlers - COMPLETE

**Date**: 2025-01-10
**Status**: ✅ Complete
**Test Results**: 730/731 passing (99.9%)

## Summary

Phase 3E-Final WebSocket event handlers have been successfully implemented, enabling real-time gameplay communication between frontend and backend.

## Implemented Event Handlers

### 1. Strategic Decision Handlers

#### `submit_defensive_decision` (lines 1029-1125)
**Purpose**: Receive defensive strategy from client

**Event Data**:
```javascript
{
    game_id: "UUID",
    alignment: "normal" | "shifted_left" | "shifted_right" | "extreme_shift",
    infield_depth: "in" | "normal" | "back" | "double_play",
    outfield_depth: "in" | "normal" | "back",
    hold_runners: [1, 3]  // Array of bases
}
```

**Emits**:
- `defensive_decision_submitted` → Broadcast to game room
- `error` → To requester if validation fails

**Features**:
- ✅ Validates game_id (UUID format)
- ✅ Verifies game state exists
- ✅ Creates DefensiveDecision Pydantic model
- ✅ Submits through game_engine
- ✅ Broadcasts decision to all players
- ✅ Returns updated pending_decision state
- 🔜 TODO: Authorization check (fielding team manager)

---

#### `submit_offensive_decision` (lines 1127-1223)
**Purpose**: Receive offensive strategy from client

**Event Data**:
```javascript
{
    game_id: "UUID",
    approach: "normal" | "contact" | "power" | "patient",
    steal_attempts: [2, 3],  // Array of bases
    hit_and_run: true,
    bunt_attempt: false
}
```

**Emits**:
- `offensive_decision_submitted` → Broadcast to game room
- `error` → To requester if validation fails

**Features**:
- ✅ Validates game_id (UUID format)
- ✅ Verifies game state exists
- ✅ Creates OffensiveDecision Pydantic model
- ✅ Submits through game_engine
- ✅ Broadcasts decision to all players
- ✅ Returns updated pending_decision state
- 🔜 TODO: Authorization check (batting team manager)

---

### 2. Box Score Handler

#### `get_box_score` (lines 1225-1293)
**Purpose**: Return box score data from materialized views

**Event Data**:
```javascript
{
    game_id: "UUID"
}
```

**Emits**:
- `box_score_data` → To requester with box score
- `error` → To requester if validation fails

**Features**:
- ✅ Validates game_id (UUID format)
- ✅ Retrieves box score from materialized views
- ✅ Returns complete box score data
- ✅ Helpful error message if views not initialized
- 🔜 TODO: Authorization check (game access)

**Response Structure**:
```javascript
{
    game_id: "UUID",
    box_score: {
        // Box score data from materialized views
        // (structure defined by box_score_service)
    }
}
```

### 3. Previously Implemented Handlers (Already Complete)

These handlers were already implemented and tested:

#### `roll_dice` (lines 105-196)
- ✅ Rolls dice for manual outcome selection
- ✅ Stores roll in state (one-time use)
- ✅ Broadcasts dice results to all players
- ✅ Includes wild pitch/passed ball checks

#### `submit_manual_outcome` (lines 199-432)
- ✅ Receives manually-selected play outcome
- ✅ Validates using Pydantic models
- ✅ Processes through game engine
- ✅ Broadcasts play result to game room
- ✅ Includes X-Check details if applicable

#### Substitution Handlers (lines 436-911)
- ✅ `request_pinch_hitter` - Pinch hitter substitution
- ✅ `request_defensive_replacement` - Defensive replacement
- ✅ `request_pitching_change` - Pitching change
- All include validation, DB persistence, and broadcasting

#### `get_lineup` (lines 914-1027)
- ✅ Retrieves current active lineup
- ✅ Uses StateManager cache (O(1) lookup)
- ✅ Falls back to database if not cached

## Complete Event Flow

### Typical Gameplay Sequence

```javascript
// 1. Players join game
socket.emit('join_game', { game_id, role: 'player' });

// 2. Defense submits strategy
socket.emit('submit_defensive_decision', {
    game_id,
    alignment: 'shifted_left',
    infield_depth: 'double_play',
    outfield_depth: 'normal',
    hold_runners: [3]
});

// 3. Offense submits strategy
socket.emit('submit_offensive_decision', {
    game_id,
    approach: 'power',
    steal_attempts: [],
    hit_and_run: false,
    bunt_attempt: false
});

// 4. Server rolls dice
socket.emit('roll_dice', { game_id });

// 5. Receive dice results
socket.on('dice_rolled', (data) => {
    // Show dice: d6_one, d6_two_total, chaos_d20, resolution_d20
    // Player reads physical card
});

// 6. Player submits outcome from card
socket.emit('submit_manual_outcome', {
    game_id,
    outcome: 'groundball_a',
    hit_location: 'SS'
});

// 7. Receive play result
socket.on('play_resolved', (data) => {
    // Update UI: description, runs_scored, outs_recorded, etc.
});

// 8. Get updated box score
socket.emit('get_box_score', { game_id });
socket.on('box_score_data', (data) => {
    // Display box score
});
```

## Testing

### Unit Tests
- ✅ 730/731 tests passing (99.9%)
- ✅ All WebSocket handler tests passing
- ✅ All core game engine tests passing
- ✅ All model tests passing

### Manual Testing Checklist

**Terminal Client** (recommended for initial testing):
```bash
# Start REPL
uv run python -m terminal_client

# Test complete flow
⚾ > new_game
⚾ > defensive --alignment shifted_left
⚾ > offensive --approach power
⚾ > resolve
⚾ > box_score
⚾ > quit
```

**WebSocket Client** (Socket.io test client):
```javascript
const io = require('socket.io-client');
const socket = io('http://localhost:8000', {
    auth: { token: 'YOUR_JWT_TOKEN' }
});

socket.on('connect', () => {
    console.log('Connected');
    socket.emit('join_game', { game_id: 'YOUR_GAME_UUID', role: 'player' });
});

socket.on('defensive_decision_submitted', (data) => {
    console.log('Defense ready:', data);
});

socket.on('offensive_decision_submitted', (data) => {
    console.log('Offense ready:', data);
});

socket.on('dice_rolled', (data) => {
    console.log('Dice:', data);
});

socket.on('play_resolved', (data) => {
    console.log('Play result:', data);
});

socket.on('box_score_data', (data) => {
    console.log('Box score:', data.box_score);
});
```

## What's Next: Frontend Integration

### Vue 3 + Nuxt 3 Client Implementation

**Required Client-Side Components**:

1. **WebSocket Connection Manager**
   - Connect with JWT authentication
   - Handle reconnection
   - Route events to appropriate handlers

2. **Game State Store** (Pinia)
   - Reactive game state synchronized with server
   - Handles all WebSocket events
   - Updates UI automatically

3. **UI Components**
   - Defensive strategy selector
   - Offensive strategy selector
   - Dice roller display
   - Outcome selector (card reader)
   - Box score viewer
   - Lineup manager

4. **Event Handlers**
   - `defensive_decision_submitted` → Update UI
   - `offensive_decision_submitted` → Update UI
   - `dice_rolled` → Show dice animation
   - `outcome_accepted` → Confirm submission
   - `play_resolved` → Update game state
   - `box_score_data` → Display stats
   - `player_substituted` → Update lineup

**Client State Flow**:
```
User Action → Emit Event → Server Processes → Broadcast Result → Update State → Reactive UI
```

## Known Limitations & TODOs

### Authorization
- ⚠️ All handlers have authorization checks stubbed with TODO comments
- 🔜 Need to implement:
  - `is_game_participant(user_id, game_id)` - Verify user in game
  - `is_fielding_team_manager(user_id, game_id)` - For defensive decisions
  - `is_batting_team_manager(user_id, game_id)` - For offensive decisions
  - `can_view_box_score(user_id, game_id)` - For box score access

### Rate Limiting
- ⚠️ No rate limiting on event submissions
- 🔜 Consider adding per-user/per-game rate limits

### Validation Enhancements
- ✅ Basic Pydantic validation implemented
- 🔜 Could add more business rule validation (e.g., can't hold runner on empty base)

### Monitoring
- ✅ Basic logging implemented
- 🔜 Could add:
  - Event metrics (timing, frequency)
  - Error rate tracking
  - Active game monitoring
