'ws' conflated storage mode with transport protocol (WebSocket). Renamed for
clarity: the adapter talks the self-hosted server (src/storage/server.js), which
happens to use WebSocket for realtime — but the name should describe what it
connects to, not how.
Renames:
- src/storage/ws.js -> server.js
- createWsStorage() -> createServerStorage()
- storage mode 'ws' -> 'server'
- REACT_APP_BACKEND_WS -> REACT_APP_BACKEND_REALTIME_URL
- factory param wsUrl -> realtimeUrl
- server/tests/ws-*.test.js -> server-*.test.js
Kept literal: 'ws' npm package, ws:// protocol URLs, /ws WebSocket endpoint.
Transport is accurate there; only storage-naming changed.
Updated all docs (DEVELOPMENT, TESTING, REWORK_PLAN, GLOSSARY, TODO), scripts
(dev-start.sh, replay-combat.js), factory + ESM tests. 204 tests green.
WS adapter had no reconnect. WS dies (idle/error/close) → wsReady=null,
subscribers dead forever, display frozen until full reload.
Changes (src/storage/ws.js):
- onClose: schedule reconnect via setTimeout(500ms), ensureWs re-arms.
Guard: disposed flag stops reconnect after dispose.
- onOpen: resubscribe all existing doc/coll subscribers (backend state
may have changed). Re-fetch current values on RECONNECT only (skip
first connect — initial REST fetch in subscribe* already did). Added
everConnected flag to distinguish first vs reconnect.
- reconnectTimer unref'd (Node) to avoid hanging event loop.
- dispose(cb): set disposed, clear timer, close ws, then cb.
Also fixed test teardown leaks:
- server/index.js close(): terminate all wss.clients before wss.close().
Reconnect test spawned new ws to server; old close hung on live conn.
- both ws test factories: port 0 (OS picks free) instead of module-local
nextPort counter. Parallel jest workers collided on EADDRINUSE.
Tests: ws-reconnect GREEN (1.7s), ws-contract 23 GREEN. No regression.
server suite 24/24. shared 90/90.
