From the local CodeRabbit review:
- Scene ids: the repair and room clone assigned max + 1, which never
advanced the Postgres identity sequence (live: sequence 3412, max id 3466),
so the next add / clone sub-room would collide on the primary key. The
repair now moves the sequence past the highest id at startup, and both
let the database assign ids.
- Room-level restores (datahistory/restore and the admin restore) now also
restore the entry sub-room, whose blob room details serve first.
- TouchRoom refreshes the room's presence index too, so players kept alive
only by heartbeats no longer drop out of the instance browser after 20 min.
- Sub-room permission saves match cells exactly (as the unique index does)
and retry when a concurrent editor inserted the same new cell.
From the local CodeRabbit review:
- A replica waiting for the lock used the default 30 s command timeout and
failed to boot while another replica seeded a fresh database. Wait with
no timeout, logging that it is waiting.
- An unlock failure in the finally (e.g. the connection already broken)
replaced the real bootstrap error and skipped closing the connection.
Log it instead, and always close.
Booting several replicas against one fresh Postgres database left all but
one dead on startup: the advisory lock only covered EnsureCreated, so the
seeders (system account, rooms, playlists, store, ...) raced and hit
duplicate keys. Take a session-level advisory lock for the whole bootstrap
and release it explicitly (pooled connections would otherwise keep it).
The upgrades and seeds both providers run move into
RunUpgradesAndSeedsAsync.
EF Core 10 runs EnsureCreated through the migration executor, which begins
its own transaction unless EF already has one. The bootstrap held the
advisory lock in a transaction begun on the raw connection, invisible to
EF, so a fresh Postgres database failed at startup with "A transaction is
already in progress". Begin it through db.Database and take the lock with
ExecuteSqlRaw so EnsureCreated runs inside it.

From the local CodeRabbit review:
- Repair rooms that lack an OrderIndex 0 (entry) sub-room even when they
have other sub-rooms, not only rooms with none.
- Every service runs the database bootstrap at startup, so on Postgres
replicas booting together could hand out the same scene ids (max + 1)
and one would fail startup on the primary key. Run the repair in a
transaction holding the bootstrap's advisory lock.

Swashbuckle 7.3.1 is built against Microsoft.OpenApi 1.x; ASP.NET Core 10
brings Microsoft.OpenApi 2.x, and SwaggerGenerator.GetSwagger then fails to
load (TypeLoadException), which broke 105 of the server tests.
.NET 8 and 9 reach end of support on 2026-11-10; .NET 10 is the LTS release
(supported until November 2028).
- net9.0 -> net10.0 for every server, service, gateway, test and tool project
- ASP.NET Core / EF Core / SignalR Redis 10.0.13, Npgsql EF 10.0.3,
Serilog.AspNetCore 10.0.0
- Dockerfile / Dockerfile.service: sdk and aspnet 10.0 images
- release workflow: setup-dotnet 10.0.x
- Jenkins build agent: dotnet-sdk-10.0 (was 8.0); the ClientMod still
targets net6.0, which MelonLoader loads
- README / architecture docs, .gitignore data paths
DorkNet.AdminMobile (MAUI) stays on net9.0 for now: building it needs the
Android/iOS workloads.
The server now offers the published builds on its own site (Downloads page,
Latest build on the Quest page), reading the bucket on the internal network.
Drop the standalone index.html and DORKNET_SITE_URL; the bucket needs no
public route or access app of its own.
Each run now stages what it built as DorkNet-<release>-PC-Full.zip,
-PC-Patch.zip, -Quest.xapk and -Quest-Installer.zip, writes their sizes and
SHA-256 to a manifest, and uploads them with a static page to an S3 bucket
served read-only (ci/downloads). The build scripts keep their own names,
which the launcher depends on; only the published copies are renamed.
PUBLISH_DOWNLOADS (on by default) turns the upload off per run. Jenkins
archives the same renamed files instead of the raw build output.
- init: true on the agent so processes left behind by build tools are reaped,
as the inbound-agent image asks for.
- Redeploying an older controller from docker-compose.yml upgrades Jenkins
and moves it from Java 17 to 25: say to back up jenkins_home first, update
plugins that fail to load, and run the job once before relying on it.
Turning ci/jenkins/docker-compose.yml from the controller into the agent meant
that redeploying a Jenkins set up from the old file would replace the
controller with an agent. Keep that file as the controller instead: the same
jenkins service and jenkins_home volume, now on the stock Java 25 image (its
old build context, ci/jenkins/Dockerfile, is the agent image now). The agent
moves to docker-compose.agent.yml. This replaces the previous commit's warning.
ci/jenkins/docker-compose.yml used to define the Jenkins controller and now
defines only the agent. Redeploying an application that was set up from the
old file would replace the controller with an agent. Say so in the file, and
add an upgrade path to the README: move the controller to its own service on
the same data volume first, then deploy the agent as a new application.
Review follow-ups:
- The downloads routes now answer only on the apex (the site's host) and 404
on every other accepted host, so the game's open API/CDN subdomains can't
serve the builds.
- Install on Quest passes its own file to the Quest page instead of always
picking the newest release.
- Waiting for the bucket's headers is limited to 30 s; the body still streams
without a limit.
- Dispose the upstream request message; use LINQ in FindFile.
When the server is pointed at the bucket CI publishes builds to
(DorkNet:Downloads:BaseUrl), the site lists them on a new Downloads page and
the Quest page offers "Latest build" next to "Choose file".
The server reads manifest.json and the files over HTTP on the internal network
and streams them through with Range support (DownloadsController); only files
the manifest lists are served. The xapk reader now reads from a byte source,
either the picked File or the server URL via Range requests, so the browser
installer streams the APK and OBB to the headset without downloading the
package first. Unset, both features stay hidden.
Coolify interpolates the compose file during the image build with only
build-time variables. Marking JENKINS_URL and JENKINS_SECRET required
(${VAR:?}) made the build fail when they are runtime-only, and making them
build-time would pass the node secret as a build argument.
The toolchain image becomes a Jenkins inbound agent (jenkins/inbound-agent,
Java 25) labelled dorknet-builder. Jenkins itself stays on the stock image
and runs no builds, which also clears the built-in-node warning.
- Dockerfile: inbound-agent base; restic cache on the agent's own volume
- docker-compose.yml: the agent as a Coolify Docker Compose application,
reaching Jenkins over WebSocket on the predefined Coolify network
- Jenkinsfile: agent { label 'dorknet-builder' }
- README: Java 25 for both sides (Java 21 support ends Sep 2027, Java 17
is unsupported), restart policy, node setup and Coolify deployment
Every rooms-client mutation (roles, invite, accessibility/publish, room
fields, sub-room ops, permissions, playlists) goes through
NLDBPDCNNCF.BDBHCEGKGDC<TResult>, the same helper and instantiation as
"clone room", which reads {success, value, error}. A bare room-details body
has no success, so the client rejected it with the message-less
"Exception of type 'CEMNLBKJABA' was thrown" (seen on co-owner invite)
although the server had applied the change.
RecNetEnvelopeAttribute wraps those handlers: 2xx becomes
{success:true, value, error:""}, refusals become 200
{success:false, value:null, error:<message>}.
- Room roles: list the creator as Creator (255), not CoOwner (30). The
client takes the local role from the Roles list and only lets a player
edit roles below their own (Creator excepted), so the creator could not
edit Co-Owner and Creator permissions. Enforce the role ladder on the
server (RoomRoleRules), let invitees accept (PUT roles/{me} role=30) and
reject (PUT roles/{me}/invite role=0), send message Types 62/60/61, and
push RoomUpdate after every role change.
- Permissions: persist PUT subrooms/{sub}/permissions cells in a new
RoomRolePermissions table, serve them from photon_access_token (plus a
roomserver/ twin) and push PhotonAccessToken to the sub-room.
- Publish: player-owned rooms are never IsRRO on the wire; the client
hides Publish and every room setting for an RRO.
- Sub-rooms: wire SubRoomId = OrderIndex + 1 (the client will not load a
sub-room with id 0), new rooms always get a named Home sub-room, and a
startup pass repairs rooms without one.
- Instance browser: per-room Redis presence index, live players only,
private instances for the people allowed in, real IsFull.
- Room/sub-room settings: creator or accepted co-owner everywhere.
GetPatchMethod only resolves patch methods from a fixed list of holder
classes; TitleScreenLoginPatches was missing, so the prefix failed with
[patch-fail] and a fresh PC client still looped on account creation.
Also log the real exception behind a failed sign-in redirect instead of
the TargetInvocationException wrapper.
With no remembered account, the 2023 title screen creates a brand-new
account (grant_type create_account). On a server with sign-ups off that
fails and the title screen retries forever. PC (ClientMod) and Quest
now open the sign-in page instead, so players log into their existing
DorkNet account. AutoCreateAccount = true keeps Rec Room's behaviour.
Also replaces a literal NUL byte in the Quest config loader with '\0'.
A Jenkinsfile builds, on push (only what changed) or on demand:
- the PC patcher zip (MelonLoader, the mod, config template, Steam stub),
- the full PC client (stock build + patcher + config),
- the Quest APK and .xapk.
Stock builds come out of the restic build archive on the FTP: restic
through its rclone backend, picked by snapshot tag per run and cached.
The FTP login and restic password are Jenkins credentials, and the
repository folders are environment settings, so nothing about the
archive is fixed in the repo.
ci/jenkins/Dockerfile is the Jenkins image with the toolchain added
(.NET SDK, Android NDK and build-tools, apktool, Python with LIEF,
restic, rclone), for the existing Jenkins service.
The build scripts move from PowerShell to Python so they run the same
on Windows, Linux and in CI:
- DorkNet.Quest/scripts/build.py replaces build.ps1 + package.ps1; it
can use a committed hook table (checked against the APK's
libil2cpp.so) instead of dump.cs, and takes a persistent keystore.
- tools/build_pc.py replaces build-patcher-zip.ps1 (now with the
2023 install layout) and adds the full-client build.
Setup steps are in ci/jenkins/README.md.
- Force-join's RoomUpdate carries the room's role grants, so it no
longer wipes them from the client's cached room.
- The consumable push reports IsTransferable the same as the inventory
list does.
- A rejected private-instance join sends the owner at most one "wants
to join" message per requester and instance every 5 minutes.
- SubscribeToPlayers ignores sets over 5,000 ids and keeps the current
subscriptions.
- The subscriber exclusion list looks up online friends' connections in
one pipelined Redis batch instead of one call per friend.
Most pushes were still shaped for the 2020 watch, so the 2023 client
parsed them as empty or dropped them without any error.
- RelationshipChanged carries the relationship row, to both players, on
friend request / accept / remove / add and on favorite / mute / ignore.
Friend requests and accepts also land in the notifications inbox.
- ModerationKick uses the client's flat moderation block, with the
reason in VoteKickReason (the only field the dialog shows).
- Bans, account deletion, password resets and second-session takeover
are a Logout with a numeric reason instead of a kick to the dorm; the
old string reason failed the client's parse.
- SubscribeToPlayers is honoured: each connection joins a presence group
per subscribed player, and presence (only presence) reaches subscribers
as well as friends. The hub allows 180 s of client silence, since the
client reconnects at most 3 times per login.
- Admin broadcast sends its text as a coach message and can start the
client's own maintenance countdown; ServerMaintenance only reads
StartsInMinutes.
- ConsumableMapping, StorefrontBalance, gift, player event, level-up,
RoomUpdate, profile-image and PlayerLeftChat pushes carry the client's
DTOs. "Join rejected" is the client's RequestGameInvite message.
Contract in docs/recroom-2023-notifications.md; push frames are checked
by NotificationContractTests through a capturing hub context.
The 2023 client sends rooms/{id}/clone through the same RecNet rooms
helper as "save room" and "restore subroom save", which reads the
{success, value, error} envelope. The clone handler answered with the
bare room details, so the client found no success flag and rejected the
reply with an empty error, even though the room had been created.
Clone now returns the envelope with the full room details in value, and
refusals (unknown source, cloning not allowed) are a 200 with
success=false and a message instead of a bodyless 404/403.
A Quest page on the public site (/quest) installs a DorkNet .xapk from
Chrome or Edge over WebUSB, with no adb, SideQuest or scripts: pick the
.xapk, connect the headset, install. It installs the APK, copies the OBB
to its install path (skipped when an identical one is already there) and
launches the app, with progress bars and plain-language errors for an
unsupported browser, a headset held by adb/SideQuest, a disconnect and a
copy signed with a different key.
The .xapk is read from the player's own disk: the APK and OBB are stored
uncompressed, so they stream straight out of the file without loading
1.4 GB into memory, and the server never hosts game files.
Uses Tango (@yume-chan/adb 2.6.4 and friends, MIT), pinned and bundled;
the page is lazy-loaded so the rest of the site doesn't grow. Credited in
NOTICE; README, DorkNet.Quest/README.md, docs/quest.md and the packaged
README.txt point players at the page.
defaultbaseavataritems returned the first 100 catalog items. The 2023
client flags every row of that list as a custom-clothing template
(AvatarItemData.IsBaseAvatarItem, keyed by AvatarItemId) and skips
templates when it rebuilds the owned outfit-menu entries, so those 100
ordinary items (80sHipHopJacket, Beard Close, ...) showed a price even
when owned and equipped, while the cart (which checks the owned set)
said "owned".
- defaultbaseavataritems returns only the UGC templates, UGCTee_Shirt
(AvatarItemId 2184) and UGCPulloverHoodie_Shirt (2918), as the real
service served them
- those two keep the same ids in every list and carry IsBaseAvatarItem
- they're no longer sold (existing shop rows are removed on seed) or
listed as owned clothing
The owned list (v4/items, defaultunlocked, lockeditems) took names from
the catalog dump, so colour variants read as asset names like
"(Shirt_Winter)", every rarity was 0 and every tooltip empty. 1,864 of
the 2,719 items in both lists disagreed with their shop tile.
Each owned row now takes FriendlyName, Tooltip and Rarity from the store
row with the same AvatarItemDesc (exact match; colour-variant combination
ids are case-sensitive). Rows with no shop tile keep the catalog name.
Rarity uses the same GiftRarity enum on both DTOs.
Patches the Quest build of Rec Room 2023.03.21 (20230317 / 2128210, the
same appVersion as the PC client) to connect to a DorkNet server, using
one native hook library loaded via DT_NEEDED on libmain.so.
- host rewrite onto <svc>.<ServerHost> or a {service}-dev.example.com template
- Photon app ids and region injection (PhotonRegion must match PC)
- TLS / pinning / image-signature bypass, integrity callbacks neutralised
- no-Meta-account build; the server treats platform id 0/1/blank as a
placeholder and keys those accounts by device id
- build.ps1 -Obb packages a DorkNet-<ver>.xapk with one-command
installers for Windows and macOS/Linux; app is named via AppName
- README, docs/quest.md and NOTICE updated; credits RecFlare and
And64InlineHook (MIT)
Tested on a Quest 2: all hooks arm, requests reach the dev server.
