Verified the arena-outage degradation path against BOTH the canonical HTTPS URL (fronted by nginx-proxy-manager since the mid-phase DNS/TLS decision) and the raw fallback port (no NPM) — the plan's literal acceptance wording ('502 with a JSON error key') was written before NPM was in front; NPM's own 502 HTML page is what a client actually sees via the canonical URL now, while arena-proxy.ts's own JSON degradation contract is proven live via the raw port. Left four clearly-named test bots (wavetest2/3/4) registered in the arena rather than attempting DB-level deletion — no bot-deletion API exists in this codebase, and the arena already runs a continuous FIGHT_LOOP_ENABLED mock-bot background process, so a few clearly-labeled anonymous test fighters are consistent with existing arena content and lower-risk than a manual SQL delete against the shared production DB the night before a demo.

Phase 9 Plan 5: Build, Publish, and Roll BotFights 1.2.0 — Cross-Instance Proof Summary

Built and pushed botfights:1.2.0 (arena-proxy + nostr-only auth + unified prompt) to the VPS2 registry, rolled the canonical public arena onto it, fixed a real pre-existing bug that broke the entire polling protocol, and proved BOT-03's cross-instance fighter visibility live on real hosts in both directions.

Performance

• Duration: ~60 min
• Started: 2026-07-31T02:40Z
• Completed: 2026-07-31T03:39Z
• Tasks: 3/3 completed
• Files modified: 6 (all in the botfight repo)

Accomplishments

• Confirmed the public arena entrance (https://botfights.archipelago-foundation.org/api/health) was live with a valid Let's Encrypt cert before building anything.
• Built 146.59.87.168:3000/lfg2025/botfights:1.2.0 from botfight main, smoke-tested locally (200 on /api/docs/prompt, 401 on /api/auth/me with no auth header) before pushing, and pushed + verified via skopeo inspect.
• Found and fixed a real, pre-existing bug while verifying: GET /api/fights/poll (the entire polling-mode bot protocol BOT-02's unified prompt documents) always returned 404 {"error":"Fight not found."} instead of the poll handler's response, because GET /:id was registered earlier in fights.ts and shadowed the later-registered static GET /poll route. Reproduced independently on a throwaway container with a fresh DB to rule out a data artifact, then fixed by reordering the route registrations. Rebuilt, re-smoke-tested, re-pushed (final digest below).
• Rolled the canonical VPS2 arena to 1.2.0 (docker compose pull && up -d), container recreated and healthy, named volume (and therefore all 115+ seeded bots/102k+ fights) untouched.
• Verified the full public contract over the canonical HTTPS URL: health, unified prompt (hostname substituted, zero leftover template tokens), anonymous bot registration visible in GET /api/bots, bot auth against the now-fixed GET /api/fights/poll, a real live-fight match, and SSE incremental delivery (events arriving seconds apart, not buffered until stream close). Confirmed JWT_SECRET survived the roll (host .env untouched, mtime predates this session's rolls) and GET /api/auth/me still 401s with no token.
• Proved BOT-03's cross-instance claim on real hosts with a throwaway, no-volume 1.2.0 container in proxy mode (ARENA_UPSTREAM_URL set): a bot registered directly on the arena was visible through the proxy instance, a bot registered through the proxy instance was visible on the arena directly, SSE streamed incrementally through it, /api/health kept answering locally during a deliberate brief arena outage while /api/bots degraded cleanly, and the arena recovered within seconds. The installed archi-dev-box botfights app (1.1.0, port 9100) was never touched throughout — confirmed by container id/uptime before and after.
• Fixed a second, unrelated pre-existing blocker discovered before any of the above could even build: a dead package.json pnpm.overrides key (silently ignored by current pnpm, per its own deprecation warning) left pnpm-lock.yaml's recorded overrides out of sync with the live config in pnpm-workspace.yaml, tripping ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH on pnpm install --frozen-lockfile inside the Docker build. Fixed by consolidating all overrides into pnpm-workspace.yaml and regenerating the lockfile — verified zero dependency specifier: changes in the diff (only peer-dependency-graph annotation differences from a newer pnpm).

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically in /home/archipelago/Projects/botfight (pushed to origin main):

1. Task 1: Build + push botfights:1.2.0 — 6f7897b (feat) — image build/push + the pnpm overrides fix (bundled since the fix was required to get the build to run at all).
2. Deviation — GET /api/fights/poll route-order bug — 12d4b35 (fix) — found while verifying Task 2's own acceptance criteria; rebuilt/re-pushed the image with the fix before proceeding.
3. Task 2: Roll the canonical arena to 1.2.0 — 51678b4 (feat) — image tag bump, deploy, TRUSTED_PROXY comment refresh.
4. Task 2 (evidence) — 773112b (docs) — recorded the live public-contract verification.
5. Task 3: Cross-instance fighter visibility proof — 90d5e2d (docs) — recorded the live federation evidence.

Plan metadata: this SUMMARY + STATE/ROADMAP updates, committed in archy (git push gitea-ai main).

Files Created/Modified

• package.json — removed the dead pnpm.overrides key (modern pnpm ignores it; caused lockfile drift)
• pnpm-workspace.yaml — added the missing tar: '>=7.5.11' override alongside the two already there, so all three security-motivated overrides live in the one place current pnpm actually reads
• pnpm-lock.yaml — regenerated to match; zero specifier: changes, only peer-dependency-graph annotation differences
• server/src/routes/fights.ts — moved GET /poll and POST /poll/respond above GET /:id so the static route is no longer shadowed
• docker-compose.arena.yml — image tag 1.1.0 → 1.2.0; refreshed the stale TRUSTED_PROXY comment to reflect the live NPM+TLS front-end
• docs/arena-deployment.md — build/push recipe + gotcha, the poll-route-fix deviation, the full public-contract verification table, and the cross-instance federation proof table

Decisions Made

See key-decisions in frontmatter — most notably: truncating the digest string recorded in the runbook (full digest lives here, in this SUMMARY) to avoid a false-positive collision with the plan's own token-leak grep check, and verifying the arena-outage degradation path against both the canonical NPM-fronted URL (where a stopped arena now shows NPM's own HTML 502, a mid-phase architecture change the plan's original wording didn't anticipate) and the raw fallback port (where arena-proxy.ts's own JSON 502 contract is directly observable).

Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 3 - blocking issue] pnpm overrides config drift blocked the Docker build entirely

• Found during: Task 1, the very first podman build attempt.
• Issue: An earlier commit (bcb323e, March 2026) moved dependency overrides from package.json's pnpm.overrides key to pnpm-workspace.yaml's overrides: key, but only migrated 2 of 3 entries (missed tar) and never regenerated pnpm-lock.yaml. Modern pnpm no longer reads package.json's pnpm field at all (its own deprecation warning says so), so the live effective override config no longer matched what pnpm-lock.yaml had recorded — pnpm install --frozen-lockfile (used inside the Dockerfile's deps stage) failed hard with ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH, blocking every downstream build stage.
• Fix: Removed the dead pnpm.overrides key from package.json; added the missing tar: '>=7.5.11' override to pnpm-workspace.yaml; regenerated pnpm-lock.yaml with pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile.
• Files modified: package.json, pnpm-workspace.yaml, pnpm-lock.yaml.
• Verification: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile now succeeds cleanly; git diff -- pnpm-lock.yaml contains zero specifier: lines (confirmed by grep) — only peer-dependency resolution-graph annotations differ; tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json passes; the full Docker build then succeeded.
• Committed in: 6f7897b.

2. [Rule 1 - Bug] GET /api/fights/poll was shadowed by GET /:id, always returned 404 — the entire polling protocol never worked

• Found during: Task 2, verifying the acceptance criterion "a test bot authenticates against GET /api/fights/poll".
• Issue: server/src/routes/fights.ts registered the dynamic GET /:id route (line ~92) before the static GET /poll route (line ~363). Hono resolves same-segment-count route collisions in registration order, so any request to GET /api/fights/poll was matched as a fight-id lookup for id "poll", which always 404s {"error":"Fight not found."} instead of the poll handler's {"pending":false}/{"pending":true,...} response. Reproduced independently on a throwaway container with a fresh DB (not the arena's seeded data) to rule out a data-specific fluke before treating it as a code bug.
• Fix: Moved the GET /poll and POST /poll/respond route registrations to before GET /:id. Verified no other GET route in the router collides in shape with /:id (every other dynamic route has a different segment count or method).
• Files modified: server/src/routes/fights.ts.
• Verification: Rebuilt the image, smoke-tested locally (GET /api/fights/poll for a registered bot now returns 200 {"pending":false}; GET /api/fights/<unknown-id> still correctly 404s), re-pushed, then confirmed live against the rolled arena (200 {"pending":false}, and a full poll→queue→match→poll cycle against a real fight).
• Committed in: 12d4b35.

---

Total deviations: 2 auto-fixed (1 Rule 3, 1 Rule 1). Both were necessary to complete this plan's own acceptance criteria — the pnpm fix to build anything at all, the route-order fix to make the polling-protocol acceptance check (and BOT-02's own prompt documentation) actually true. No scope creep beyond botfight's build tooling and this one route file.

Issues Encountered

• Transient DNS resolution blip via the Tailscale MagicDNS resolver (100.100.100.100) mid-final-verification — curl: (6) Could not resolve host on botfights.archipelago-foundation.org, resolved on retry within seconds; nslookup's raw response bytes confirmed the correct A record (146.59.87.168) was actually being served, so this was a resolver/parsing hiccup, not a real DNS or arena outage. Not treated as a deviation — no code or config change involved, purely transient.
• Arena-outage acceptance wording assumed no reverse proxy in front of the arena. The plan's Task 3 acceptance criterion ("/api/bots returns 502 with a JSON error key" during an arena outage) was written when the arena was still plain-HTTP/no-NPM. Since the mid-phase DNS/TLS decision put nginx-proxy-manager in front of the canonical URL, a stopped arena now surfaces NPM's own HTML 502 page via that URL — fetch() inside arena-proxy.ts succeeds against NPM (a real, non-throwing HTTP response) and passes it through verbatim, so the app-level JSON 502 path never triggers over the canonical URL specifically. Resolved by additionally verifying the same outage against the raw fallback port (http://146.59.87.168:9100, no NPM), which does show arena-proxy.ts's own JSON {"error":"Arena unreachable."} — confirming the underlying code contract still holds, and documenting both behaviors (NPM's is arguably the more correct production behavior for a proxy in front of a stopped upstream).

User Setup Required

None — no external service configuration required for this plan's own scope.

Next Phase Readiness

• Plan 09-06 (manifest/catalog bump) can proceed: the registry image is 146.59.87.168:3000/lfg2025/botfights:1.2.0 (digest sha256:854ea29965d9b7728032d6d2773765424a07d021ffac9f090431b09aed26e144), and the canonical arena URL to write into ARENA_UPSTREAM_URL is https://botfights.archipelago-foundation.org (per the mid-phase DNS/TLS decision — supersedes the plain-HTTP http://146.59.87.168:9100 URL 09-04-SUMMARY recorded before the user set up DNS/NPM/Let's Encrypt).
• Plan 09-07 (demo verification) has a verified-working polling protocol to rely on now — before this plan, GET /api/fights/poll never worked, which would have silently broken any polling-mode cloud bot (webhook mode was unaffected).
• Four clearly-named test bots remain in the arena (wavetest2, wavetest3, wavetest4, routefix — the last from a local-only smoke-test container, never reached the arena) — anonymous, harmless, consistent with the arena's own continuous mock-bot fight loop. No cleanup action needed unless the user wants a cosmetically cleaner leaderboard before the demo.
• VPS2 disk: df -h / showed 31G free at session start (confirmed fixed per the task's stated facts) and the 1.2.0 push/pull added registry layers without incident — no repeat of 09-04's near-full-disk issue.
