fix(official-bots): discover tournament games by polling, not just the stream
The tournament-server does not replay gameStart to late subscribers — a subscriber that connects after a game activates receives only heartbeats. The bot relied solely on live gameStart events, so any reconnect or restart after activation left it blind and it never played (games recorded with no moves, losing on both colors). Now each scan polls every joined tournament's current-round pairings, finds the bot's own non-finished game and color, and starts playing it. The game stream still drives moves once a game is discovered. Verified end-to-end against the live server. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Janis	10113fd057	fix(official-bots): discover tournament games by polling, not just the stream Build & Test (NowChessSystems) TeamCity build finished Details The tournament-server does not replay gameStart to late subscribers — a subscriber that connects after a game activates receives only heartbeats. The bot relied solely on live gameStart events, so any reconnect or restart after activation left it blind and it never played (games recorded with no moves, losing on both colors). Now each scan polls every joined tournament's current-round pairings, finds the bot's own non-finished game and color, and starts playing it. The game stream still drives moves once a game is discovered. Verified end-to-end against the live server. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-06-23 14:40:50 +02:00

Janis	b98bdd2a64	fix(tournament): use HS256 director token for native tournament-server calls Build & Test (NowChessSystems) TeamCity build finished Details The tournament-server only accepts HS256 tokens it issued; forwarding a NowChessSystems RS256 user token caused "unsupported algorithm". Proxied calls (start/join/withdraw/stream) targeting the native server now swap in the director token registered on that server.

Janis	285b73efbd	fix(official-bots): resume tournaments already joined after restart A 409 on join means the bot is already a participant (in-memory join set is empty after a pod restart). Treat 409 as success and start playing instead of dropping the tournament and spamming errors every scan. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-06-23 13:46:57 +02:00

Janis	4651bb796f	fix(official-bots): play only own tournament games with correct color Build & Test (NowChessSystems) TeamCity build finished Details The tournament stream broadcasts a gameStart per color for every pairing in the round, without a player id. The bot latched the first color it saw and played games it was not part of, submitting moves for the wrong color that the server rejected. Now it fetches game detail and matches its botId against white/black to resolve its real color, skipping games it is not in.

Janis	1df29cf3a6	feat(official-bots): make HybridBot veto actionable and use it for expert Build & Test (NowChessSystems) TeamCity build finished Details When classical and NNUE evals diverge above the veto threshold, HybridBot now re-searches excluding the suspect move and switches to NNUE's preferred alternative instead of merely logging. BotController maps the expert bot to HybridBot so tournament auto-join uses it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-06-23 10:30:55 +02:00

Tournaments created in NowChessSystems are forwarded to the native tournament server so the bots can see and join them.

Janis Eccarius	83dd2d4335	fix(official-bots): prioritize Redis token over stale env var in joinTournament Build & Test (NowChessSystems) TeamCity build finished Details The env var TOURNAMENT_BOT_TOKEN was checked before Redis, so a stale token set in the k8s secret always won over the freshly-registered token stored in Redis at startup. Swap order: request param → Redis → env var. Also add WARN-level logging when registerWithServer fails (non-2xx or exception), making the failure visible in the log stream since INFO is filtered in production.

Janis Eccarius	3188241737	fix(official-bots): park on external tournament servers using correct endpoint and token Build & Test (NowChessSystems) TeamCity build finished Details External tournament servers expose POST /api/bots (registry) not POST /api/account/bots. They also require their own HMAC-HS256 token, not the NowChessSystems RS256 account-service token. parkOnStartup now: - Parks on the local NowChessSystems account service via /api/account/bots using the resolved NowChessSystems token (unchanged) - For each remote server from fetchRemoteServers(), calls registerWithServer(serverUrl, name) to obtain a server-specific token via POST /api/auth/register (public endpoint), then parks via POST /api/bots using that token registerWithTournamentServer extracted into registerWithServer(url, name) so it can be reused for both the primary tournament server (resolveToken) and all remote servers (parkOnStartup).

Janis Eccarius	64b5d5567f	fix(official-bots): register with tournament server directly to get correct token Build & Test (NowChessSystems) TeamCity build finished Details The TOURNAMENT_SERVICE_URL points to the NowChessTools tournament server which uses its own HMAC-HS256 JWTs issued by POST /api/auth/register. Tokens from the NowChessSystems account service (RS256) are rejected with 401 by that server. resolveToken now first calls POST {tournamentServiceUrl}/api/auth/register (public endpoint, idempotent — finds existing identity by name or creates). This returns the correct HMAC-HS256 token for the target server and is stored in Redis. Falls back to the account service path for deployments where TOURNAMENT_SERVICE_URL points to the NowChessSystems tournament module.
