2025-12-16 - Draft Timer Enforcement

Status

Completed

Implemented server-side timer enforcement for the draft phase to ensure the game progresses even if players are AFK or disconnected.

Server: DraftManager.ts
- Updated DraftState to include pickExpiresAt (timestamp) for each player and isPaused for the draft.
- Initialize pickExpiresAt to 60 seconds from now when a player receives a pack (initial or passed).
- Implemented checkTimers() method to iterate over all active drafts and players. If Date.now() > pickExpiresAt, it triggers autoPick.
- Implemented setPaused() to handle host disconnects. When resuming, timers are reset to 60s to prevent immediate timeout.
Server: index.ts
- Removed ad-hoc playerTimers map and individual setTimeout logic associated with socket disconnect events.
- Added a global setInterval (1 second tick) that calls draftManager.checkTimers() and broadcasts updates.
- Updated disconnect handler to pause the draft if the host disconnects (draftManager.setPaused(..., true)).
- Updated join_room / rejoin_room handlers to resume the draft if the host reconnects.
Client: DraftView.tsx
- Updated the timer display logic to calculate remaining time based on draftState.players[id].pickExpiresAt - Date.now().
- The timer now accurately reflects the server-enforced deadline.

Drafting: Each pick has a 60-second limit.
Deck Building: 120-second limit. If time runs out, the game forces start. Any unready players have their entire draft pool submitted as their deck automatically.
Timeout: If time runs out, a random card is automatically picked, and the next pack (if available) is loaded with a fresh 60s timer.
AFK: If a user is AFK, the system continues to auto-pick for them until the draft concludes.
Host Disconnect: If the host leaves, the draft pauses for everyone. Timer stops.
Host Reconnect: Draft resumes, and all active pick timers are reset to 60s.
