Overview

The Problem

Current x-check implementation auto-resolves everything server-side. When a player submits outcome=x_check with a position, the backend:

1. Rolls dice
2. Looks up charts
3. Returns final result

This doesn't match the physical Strat-o-Matic workflow where the defensive player reads their fielding card, checks the range column, and determines the result.

The Solution

Multi-step interactive flow where:

1. Defensive player sees dice, selects result code from 5-column chart row, provides error result
2. System handles baserunner advancement
3. DECIDE mechanic involves back-and-forth between offensive/defensive players for optional runner advancement

Key Design Principle: Full Transparency

• ALL dice rolls, chart data, and selections visible to BOTH players
• Only the active player can interact (click/submit)
• Opponent sees same UI in read-only mode
• Builds trust and lets both players verify correctness

---

Architecture Decisions

1. Defensive Player Owns X-Check UI

• Defensive team has the fielding card
• They see their card's range chart and select the result
• Offensive player sees everything but can't interact

2. Combined Display Approach

• Show d20 roll, 3d6 total, and 5-column chart row together
• Player picks result code + error in one step (not separate screens)
• Minimizes back-and-forth, keeps flow smooth

3. Hash Results (G2#/G3#)

• Player mentally converts based on batter's speed rating
• UI shows sub-choice: "G2 or SI2?" after selecting G2# column
• No server-side speed lookup needed

4. SPD Results

• If any column contains "SPD", backend pre-rolls a d20
• UI shows click-to-reveal button for the d20 value
• After reveal, player picks safe/out based on runner's card

5. Transparency Model (active_team_id)

All WebSocket events include active_team_id field:

• X-check result selection → active_team_id = fielding_team_id (defensive player interacts)
• DECIDE advance prompt → active_team_id = batting_team_id (offensive player interacts)
• DECIDE throw prompt → active_team_id = fielding_team_id (defensive player interacts)
• DECIDE speed check → active_team_id = batting_team_id (offensive player interacts)

Frontend determines interactivity: isInteractive = (active_team_id === myTeamId)

Implementation Status

✅ COMPLETE - Steps 1-7 (Foundation + Integration)

Backend (Steps 1-4)

• ✅ Step 1: State model (PendingXCheck) + extended decision_phase validators
• ✅ Step 2: Game engine methods (initiate_x_check, submit_x_check_result, _finalize_x_check)
• ✅ Step 3: Play resolver (resolve_x_check_from_selection)
• ✅ Step 4: WebSocket handlers (submit_x_check_result)

Frontend (Steps 5-7)

• ✅ Step 5: TypeScript types (XCheckData, DecideAdvanceData, etc.)
• ✅ Step 6: XCheckWizard component with read-only mode
• ✅ Step 7: Full integration (GameplayPanel, store, WebSocket, actions)

🚧 REMAINING - Steps 8-13 (Testing + DECIDE)

Testing (Step 8)

• ⏳ End-to-end test of basic x-check flow (no DECIDE)
• ⏳ Verify dice display, chart selection, error selection
• ⏳ Test interactive vs read-only modes

DECIDE Workflow (Steps 9-13)

• ⏳ Step 9: Backend DECIDE detection in runner advancement
• ⏳ Step 10: Backend DECIDE handlers (advance, throw, result)
• ⏳ Step 11: Frontend DecidePrompt component
• ⏳ Step 12: Frontend DECIDE integration
• ⏳ Step 13: End-to-end test of full flow including DECIDE

Features:

• ✅ Displays d20 and 3d6 prominently
• ✅ Shows 5-column chart row as selectable buttons (Range 1-5)
• ✅ Hash result sub-choices (G2#/G3# → pick G2 or SI2)
• ✅ SPD click-to-reveal with safe/out sub-choice
• ✅ Error selection (NO/E1/E2/E3/RP) defaulting to NO
• ✅ Submit validation (both result + error required)
• ✅ Read-only mode for transparency (opponent sees same UI, can't interact)
• ✅ Mobile responsive with Tailwind styling

Remaining Work

⏳ Step 8: End-to-End Testing (No DECIDE)

Goal: Test basic x-check flow from initiation through resolution.

Test Cases:

1. Happy Path - Simple Result

   • Player submits X_CHECK outcome with position "SS"
   • Backend emits decision_required with x-check data
   • Defensive player sees XCheckWizard with dice + 5 columns
   • Offensive player sees same UI in read-only mode
   • Defensive player selects "G2" + "NO" error
   • Backend resolves play and emits play_resolved
   • Both players see result

2. Hash Result Path (G2#)

   • Player submits X_CHECK to "2B"
   • d20 lands on row with "G2#" in a column
   • Defensive player clicks G2# column
   • Sub-choice appears: "G2 or SI2?"
   • Player picks "SI2"
   • Selects "E1" error
   • Submits and play resolves

3. SPD Result Path

   • Player submits X_CHECK to "C" (catcher)
   • d20 lands on row with "SPD" in a column
   • Defensive player sees "Tap to Reveal SPD d20" button
   • Clicks to reveal d20 = 14
   • Clicks SPD column
   • Sub-choice appears: "Safe or Out?"
   • Player picks "Safe" (SI1)
   • Selects "NO" error
   • Submits and play resolves

4. Reconnection/Recovery

   • Player submits X_CHECK
   • Defensive player sees wizard
   • Defensive player disconnects (refresh page)
   • Reconnects
   • State recovered: XCheckWizard appears again with same dice
   • Can continue selecting result

Backend Test Setup:

# backend/tests/integration/test_xcheck_interactive_websocket.py

async def test_xcheck_basic_flow(game_session, sio_client):
    """Test complete x-check flow from submission to resolution."""

    # Setup: Create game, set state ready for manual outcome
    game_id = await create_test_game()
    await advance_to_manual_outcome_phase(game_id)

    # Step 1: Submit X_CHECK outcome
    await sio_client.emit('submit_manual_outcome', {
        'game_id': game_id,
        'outcome': 'X_CHECK',
        'hit_location': 'SS'
    })

    # Step 2: Verify decision_required event
    event = await sio_client.receive('decision_required', timeout=2)
    assert event['phase'] == 'awaiting_x_check_result'
    assert event['type'] == 'x_check_result'
    assert event['data']['position'] == 'SS'
    assert len(event['data']['chart_row']) == 5
    assert event['data']['d20_roll'] >= 1 and event['data']['d20_roll'] <= 20

    # Step 3: Submit x-check result
    await sio_client.emit('submit_x_check_result', {
        'game_id': game_id,
        'result_code': 'G2',
        'error_result': 'NO'
    })

    # Step 4: Verify play_resolved event
    event = await sio_client.receive('play_resolved', timeout=2)
    assert 'G2' in event['description']
    assert event['x_check_details']['result_code'] == 'G2'
    assert event['x_check_details']['error_result'] == 'NO'

Frontend Test Setup (E2E with Playwright):

// frontend-sba/tests/e2e/xcheck-basic-flow.spec.ts

import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test'

test('defensive player can complete x-check workflow', async ({ page, context }) => {
  // Setup: Two pages (defensive and offensive players)
  const offensivePage = await context.newPage()

  // Both players join game
  await page.goto('/game/test-game-id')
  await offensivePage.goto('/game/test-game-id')

  // Advance to manual outcome phase
  await advanceGameToManualOutcome(page)

  // Offensive player submits X_CHECK
  await offensivePage.click('[data-testid="outcome-x-check"]')
  await offensivePage.click('[data-testid="position-ss"]')
  await offensivePage.click('[data-testid="submit-outcome"]')

  // Both players should see XCheckWizard
  await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="xcheck-wizard"]')).toBeVisible()
  await expect(offensivePage.locator('[data-testid="xcheck-wizard"]')).toBeVisible()

  // Defensive player has interactive mode
  await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="submit-xcheck"]')).toBeEnabled()
  // Offensive player has read-only mode
  await expect(offensivePage.locator('[data-testid="submit-xcheck"]')).toBeDisabled()

  // Defensive player sees dice
  const d20 = await page.locator('[data-testid="d20-value"]').textContent()
  const d6 = await page.locator('[data-testid="d6-value"]').textContent()
  expect(parseInt(d20!)).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1)
  expect(parseInt(d6!)).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(3)

  // Offensive player sees same dice (transparency)
  await expect(offensivePage.locator('[data-testid="d20-value"]')).toHaveText(d20!)
  await expect(offensivePage.locator('[data-testid="d6-value"]')).toHaveText(d6!)

  // Defensive player selects result
  await page.click('[data-testid="chart-column-2"]') // Range 3
  await page.click('[data-testid="error-no"]')
  await page.click('[data-testid="submit-xcheck"]')

  // Both players see play result
  await expect(page.locator('[data-testid="play-result"]')).toBeVisible()
  await expect(offensivePage.locator('[data-testid="play-result"]')).toBeVisible()
})

Manual Testing Checklist:

• Start Docker stack: ./start.sh prod
• Create test game with 2 players
• Advance to at-bat ready for outcome
• Defensive player rolls dice
• Defensive player submits X_CHECK + position
• Both players see XCheckWizard
• Verify defensive player has interactive buttons
• Verify offensive player has disabled/read-only buttons
• Defensive player selects result column
• If hash (G2#/G3#), verify sub-choice appears
• If SPD, verify click-to-reveal button appears
• Defensive player selects error result
• Defensive player submits
• Verify play_resolved event received
• Verify game state updated correctly
• Check database: play recorded with x_check_details

⏳ Step 9: Backend DECIDE Detection

Goal: Detect DECIDE situations in runner advancement and emit appropriate prompts.

File: backend/app/core/runner_advancement.py

Current Return Type:

@dataclass
class AdvancementResult:
    runners_advanced: dict[int, RunnerAdvancement]
    outs_recorded: int
    runs_scored: int

New Return Type (add DECIDE info):

@dataclass
class DecideInfo:
    """Information about a DECIDE situation."""
    runner_base: int          # 1, 2, or 3
    target_base: int          # 2, 3, or 4
    runner_lineup_id: int
    decide_type: str          # "groundball_12" | "flyout_tag_r2" | "flyout_tag_r3"

@dataclass
class AdvancementResult:
    runners_advanced: dict[int, RunnerAdvancement]
    outs_recorded: int
    runs_scored: int
    has_decide: bool = False           # NEW
    decide_info: DecideInfo | None = None  # NEW

Key Changes:

1. Detect DECIDE in Groundball Result 12:

def _get_groundball_advancement(
    result_number: int,
    runners: RunnerSituation,
    outs: int
) -> AdvancementResult:
    """Get runner advancement for groundball results."""

    if result_number == 12:
        # Result 12: Runner on 2nd can advance to 3rd (DECIDE)
        if runners.on_second:
            return AdvancementResult(
                runners_advanced={},
                outs_recorded=1,  # Batter out at first
                runs_scored=0,
                has_decide=True,
                decide_info=DecideInfo(
                    runner_base=2,
                    target_base=3,
                    runner_lineup_id=runners.on_second.lineup_id,
                    decide_type="groundball_12"
                )
            )
    # ... handle other results

2. Detect DECIDE in Flyout Results:

def _get_flyout_advancement(
    result_code: str,
    runners: RunnerSituation,
    outs: int
) -> AdvancementResult:
    """Get runner advancement for flyout results."""

    if result_code == "FLYOUT_B":
        # FLYOUT_B: Runner on 2nd can tag up (DECIDE)
        if runners.on_second and outs < 2:
            return AdvancementResult(
                runners_advanced={},
                outs_recorded=1,
                runs_scored=0,
                has_decide=True,
                decide_info=DecideInfo(
                    runner_base=2,
                    target_base=3,
                    runner_lineup_id=runners.on_second.lineup_id,
                    decide_type="flyout_tag_r2"
                )
            )

    elif result_code == "FLYOUT_BQ":
        # FLYOUT_BQ: Runner on 3rd can tag up (DECIDE)
        if runners.on_third and outs < 2:
            return AdvancementResult(
                runners_advanced={},
                outs_recorded=1,
                runs_scored=0,
                has_decide=True,
                decide_info=DecideInfo(
                    runner_base=3,
                    target_base=4,
                    runner_lineup_id=runners.on_third.lineup_id,
                    decide_type="flyout_tag_r3"
                )
            )

    # ... handle other flyout types

3. Update Game Engine to Check for DECIDE:

# backend/app/core/game_engine.py

async def submit_x_check_result(
    self, game_id: str, result_code: str, error_result: str
) -> PlayResult:
    """Submit x-check result selection."""

    # ... existing logic to resolve play

    play_result = self.play_resolver.resolve_x_check_from_selection(...)

    # Check for DECIDE
    if play_result.advancement_result.has_decide:
        decide_info = play_result.advancement_result.decide_info

        # Store DECIDE state in pending_x_check
        pending.decide_runner_base = decide_info.runner_base
        pending.decide_target_base = decide_info.target_base

        # Emit decision_required for DECIDE advance
        await self._emit_decision_required(
            game_id,
            phase="awaiting_decide_advance",
            type="decide_advance",
            data={
                "runner_base": decide_info.runner_base,
                "target_base": decide_info.target_base,
                "runner_lineup_id": decide_info.runner_lineup_id,
                "active_team_id": state.get_batting_team_id(),  # Offensive player decides
            }
        )

        return play_result  # Don't finalize yet

    # No DECIDE - finalize immediately
    await self._finalize_x_check(game_id, pending, play_result)
    return play_result

⏳ Step 13: End-to-End DECIDE Testing

Goal: Test complete flow including DECIDE mechanic.

Other DECIDE Test Cases:

1. Runner declines to advance (hold)
2. Defense throws to first (sure out, runner advances)
3. Speed check result: out
4. Flyout tag-up scenarios (FLYOUT_B, FLYOUT_BQ)

Resumption Checklist

When picking this work back up:

Verify Current State

• Checkout branch: git checkout feature/gameplay-ui-improvements
• Pull latest: git pull origin feature/gameplay-ui-improvements
• Check commit history: git log --oneline -10
• Last commit should be: "CLAUDE: Integrate XCheckWizard into GameplayPanel..."

Backend Status Check

cd backend
uv run pytest tests/unit/models/test_pending_x_check.py -v  # Should pass (19 tests)
uv run pytest tests/unit/ -q  # Should pass (979 tests)

Frontend Status Check

cd frontend-sba
npm run test  # 460 passing, 28 failing (GameplayPanel.spec.ts - expected)
npx nuxi typecheck  # Check for type errors (some pre-existing, ignore)

Start Docker Stack

cd /mnt/NV2/Development/strat-gameplay-webapp
./start.sh prod

Test Basic X-Check Flow Manually

1. Navigate to http://localhost:3000 (or gameplay-demo.manticorum.com)
2. Create test game with 2 players
3. Advance to at-bat ready for outcome
4. Roll dice
5. Submit X_CHECK outcome with position
6. Expected: XCheckWizard appears for both players (interactive for defense, read-only for offense)
7. Select result column + error
8. Submit
9. Expected: Play resolves successfully

Next Task Decision

Based on what's needed:

• If basic x-check not working: Debug Step 8 (E2E testing)
• If basic x-check works: Proceed to Step 9 (DECIDE detection)
• If DECIDE needed urgently: Skip to Steps 9-10 (backend DECIDE)
• If UI polish needed: Refine XCheckWizard/DecidePrompt styling
