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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
Every change below was checked against the 2023-03-21 client disassembly;
file:line evidence is in the code comments and in
docs/recroom-2023-client-api-complete.md.
Presence
- matchmake/none means "online, in no room" (its only caller is
TryGoToOfflineRoom, which ignores the reply). The server used to keep the
old room or invent a dorm, so the next heartbeat looked out of sync and
the client cancelled its load to chase that room.
- The join watchdog no longer clears presence 30 s into a long room load;
it is a 3 minute backstop that drops the room only.
- One fan-out (PresenceBroadcastService) for every transition: deferred
joins, matchmake/none, logout, failed joins, visibility changes, SignalR
connect/disconnect. isOnline is sent on its own; pushes never go to the
subject, because a self push moves the player.
- Online-status visibility (Public / Friends / Favorites / Appear offline)
is stored and honoured by GET /player and by the live pushes.
Profile
- PUT account/me/{emoji,personalpronouns,identityflags,bannerimage} were
404; added with the client's real form keys and persisted (new Players
columns plus migration). Every account read now returns them, and edits
push AccountUpdate to everyone.
Outfit menu
- Saved outfits kept OutfitSelectionsV2 and CustomAvatarItems, so loading a
slot restores what was saved instead of a stale outfit.
- isCreationAllowedForAccount answers the {Success, Error} envelope the
client parses; minPriceForPublicItem is a bare int; gifts/generate accepts
form bodies; lockeditems returns the full owned-item shape; colourways no
longer share their base item's AvatarItemId.
RecNetResult writes
- About 40 writes look status-only but parse the body as {Success, Error}.
An empty 200 showed "Failed to ..." after the server applied the change,
and a body without Success threw "Error message cannot be null". Clubs,
announcements, keepsakes, comments/read, subscriptions, purchase offers
and privacy settings now answer RecNetResult.
- Login token and device-code grants are real; remoteauth approves the
device code; createlogintoken returns a bare string.
- New: incentivizedreferrals/referrals, account/bulk/{email,phone},
GET strings, account/me/confirmphone, PlayMenuCarouselOrdering_1.
Route inventory and coverage test extended to match.
README now describes the 2023 branch.
CircuitsV2 limits are served as UGC.CircuitsV2.Limit.* gameconfig keys and
are editable from admin Settings. Retail drops any send over 5 RPCs/frame
or 1024 bytes/60 frames; both network budgets now default to 1,000,000,000.
The creation limits are raised too, each against the hazard the client
binary shows for it:
- Chips 3000 -> 30000: the chip-culling manager preallocates four
List<Chip>(Chips), so the 1M clamp stays.
- Compute 50000 -> 500000: a per-frame budget with no allocation; the 10M
cap keeps its counters from wrapping.
- CloudValues 100 -> 1000, InkPerChip 15 -> 0: InkPerChip is an ink COST,
multiplied by min(chips, CloudValues), so lowering it is the increase.
The clamps tighten to 10000 / 30000 to keep that product from overflowing
(the room ink cap is a hard-coded 30000).
- UnculledChips / VisibleChips 500 -> 3000: render-cost counts only.
Room save uploads may now be up to 100 MB (Kestrel's 30 MB default would
413 a big circuits room). Contract and evidence:
docs/recroom-2023-circuitsv2-limits.md.
Also includes the Rec Royale night mode client feature
(docs/recroom-2023-scene-moods.md) and the admin blob enable/reset for
baked RRO sub-rooms.
Security:
- roomcode PUT now requires instance ownership (any player could plant
or relocate codes on foreign private instances)
- /platformid/{accountId} requires auth (anonymous Steam/Oculus id
enumeration oracle)
- request tracing no longer captures successful /thread bodies by
default (chat messages landed unredacted in logs); opt in via
Trace__SuccessBodyPaths
- anonymous action-link renewal clamped to 720h per consume
Data integrity:
- buyPurchaseReminder upserts its objective sentinel (second purchase
threw UNIQUE after the wallet was debited)
- progression reward gift + idempotency sentinel commit in one
transaction (crash between them double-minted the reward)
- ClubPermissionsGalleryAndModeration migration defaults corrected to
the entity contract (CommentsJson '[]', ClubChatEnabled true); new
one-shot ClubChatDefaultRepair migration fixes databases that
applied the wrong defaults; bootstrap repairs '' CommentsJson rows
- admin subroom-maxplayers audit entry commits with the mutation
- account purge covers CustomAvatarItems (ownership deleted, created
items reassigned to the system account)
- duplicate photo reports ignored while one is unresolved
Stability:
- bootstrap only swallows the expected duplicate-column error; locked
databases and schema failures now fail startup instead of the first
endpoint
- clone blob write failure degrades to an empty sub-room instead of a
500 after the clone row committed
- resumed photo-feed cursor stamped DateTimeKind.Utc (Npgsql rejects
Unspecified for timestamptz)
- unreadcounts queries per requested room instead of materialising the
whole comment keyspace
Tests:
- destroys-the-probe-session template guard is case-insensitive
74/74 tests pass.
File a GitHub issue from a failing test case, and let the case follow the
issue afterwards.
POST api/testcasemanagement/v1/testcase/{id}/issue file + link
DELETE api/testcasemanagement/v1/testcase/{id}/issue unlink
POST api/testcasemanagement/v1/issues/sync reconcile now
plus TestCaseIssueReconciler, a background sweep on the same code path as the
manual endpoint so the two cannot drift. Admin-gated: these are not part of the
2023 client's surface, unlike the existing test-case routes which are open
because the watch gates that tab client-side.
The link lives in TestCaseEntity.JiraBugUrl — the field Rec Room's own tooling
used for the bug filed against a failing case. That avoids a migration, which
matters more here than the name: the Postgres path is EnsureCreated-only and
never replays migrations, so a new column has to be added twice or it is missing
in production. A leftover genuine Jira link is ignored rather than misparsed,
since the issue number is only read from a GitHub-shaped URL.
Filing is idempotent — a case already carrying a live issue returns it instead
of filing again, so sweeping a failing pass repeatedly does not spam duplicates.
Unlinking leaves the issue alone; closing someone's issue as a side effect of
tidying a QA link would be the wrong call.
Reconcile moves a case only between the two states it owns: closed+Failed goes
to NotYetTested, open+NotYetTested goes back to Failed. A closed issue is NOT
marked Passed — closing is a developer's claim that the fix landed, not a
tester's observation that the case passes, so the case goes back in the queue.
The first draft flipped any non-Failed case to Failed on an open issue, which
contradicted its own doc comment and yanked a case out from under a tester
mid-claim; the test for that caught it.
Everything degrades rather than fails when unconfigured: IsConfigured is false
without a token, endpoints answer 503 with the reason, and the reconciler logs
once and idles. GitHub is faked in the tests, which cover idempotency, both
state transitions, the mid-claim case, and the unconfigured path.
Sixteen agents, one controller each, over every route the coverage test
reported as missing or wrong-verb. Route+verb coverage is now 516/522 (98.9%),
up from 90.8%.
Each handler was written against binary evidence rather than the audit's prose:
verb from the BestHTTP.HTTPMethods ordinal at the call site, response shape from
the issuing method's return type, request shape from whether the client uses
form fields, a raw JsonUtility body, or query params. Agents were told to skip
rather than stub, and several did.
New surface worth noting:
- Link host: actionlink create/get/consume and datalink get/put, previously
unrouted entirely.
- Club roster reads: members, banned, requests, requests/search, members/search,
each with the client's real sort/paging params and the wire row shape its
reader expects (the banned row has no MembershipType field, so it isn't sent).
- Home clubhouse set/clear, club disband (soft, via the existing State column),
and DELETE mainimage as its own action rather than a verb alias — the client
parses the details envelope from it, so it is not status-only.
- Club chat threads, comment CRUD, keepsake collect/delete, progression-event
xp boosts, image report and cheered/bulk, iOS StoreKit product reporting.
The six routes still missing all need storage that does not exist yet
(per-role club permissions, club additional-image slots, MinLevel,
ClubChatEnabled). Those are left for a single schema change rather than faked.
Also excludes DELETE /account/me from the endpoint contract probe. That route is
now a real, correctly-guarded account purge, and the probe walks every route
with one test player — so calling it destroyed the probe's own session and
turned one real event into 49 cascading foreign-key and 401 failures.
OnDisconnectedAsync told friends a player went offline, but nothing ever
pushed the opposite transition — PlayerCameOnline existed in
NotificationService with zero callers. The pair was asymmetric, so a SignalR
reconnect (network blip, replica restart) greyed the player out on every
friend's list for the rest of the session even though they were still
playing. Only re-entering a room, which pushes presence via /goto, brought
them back.
AddConnectionAsync already computed the first-connection transition to
maintain the online set but returned void; it now reports it, mirroring
RemoveConnectionAsync.
The push is deliberately conditional on a room already being known. The
presence payload derives isOnline from roomInstance being non-null, so
pushing with no room reads as OFFLINE — worse than staying quiet. On a fresh
boot there is no room yet and the /goto that follows sends the real presence
anyway, so this only fires on reconnects, where the cached room is exactly
what friends need to see again.
Audits every route the March-2023 client can call against what this server
actually serves, and fixes the defects that were breaking gameplay. Adds
docs/recroom-2023-client-api-complete.md as the reference: ~500 route
literals across 13 subsystems, with verb, request/response shape, and a
per-subsystem diff. 315 defects catalogued; the ones fixed here are listed
in its "Already fixed" table.
Path coverage was never the problem — 465 of 506 routes already had
handlers. The failures were in shape, and they cluster into four causes:
- Wrong verb. The verb is a BestHTTP.HTTPMethods ordinal (GET=0 .. PATCH=5),
confirmed from that enum's static constructor. Routes registered POST-only
while the client PUTs returned 405, which made room consumables neither
buyable nor consumable and blocked every room-key edit.
- Bare scalar wrapped in an object. The client reads `1000`, not
`{"Limit":1000}`; the issuing method signature says which. Wrapping makes
the deserializer throw and the feature dies silently.
- [FromBody] vs form-urlencoded. The client sends nearly every write as form
data, which an [ApiController] action bound [FromBody] rejects with 415
before the handler runs. This alone broke all 13 club member-management
endpoints. Adds Binding/FormOrJsonModelBinder so this is fixed once.
- Notify dispatch keys. Both enum overloads of the client's RegisterHandler
lower the id via Int32.ToString() and register only that numeric key, and
lookup is a case-sensitive TryGetValue that returns silently on a miss. We
were sending the enum NAME for most ids, so friend-request updates, forced
logout, maintenance broadcasts, live balance and consumable updates, and
invention moderation pushes all evaporated with no error anywhere.
Notable behavioural bugs fixed:
- Editing a club announcement deleted it: PUT was a third binding on the
delete handler. Split apart, and the missing create route added.
- leaderboard/CheckAndSetStat did not exist. The 2023 client has no SetStat
literal at all, so every leaderboard score it wrote was discarded.
- Setting a club clubhouse cleared it: the handler read roomId from the query
while the client sends it in the body, then wrote the resulting null.
- Club join requests were inverted (the enum is Open=0, InviteOnly=1,
AskToJoin=2), so ask-to-join clubs rejected everyone and invite-only clubs
quietly admitted them.
- Room bans were pushed as id 24, for which the client registers no handler;
they now go out as ModerationKick with IsBan, so the ban takes effect
immediately instead of at next login.
- Room-key ownership queries answered for the wrong player, and "has anyone
bought this key" asked "did I buy it" — always false for the creator.
Also persists settings that were previously acknowledged and dropped
(playlist accessibility/restrictions/level-voting/warning, per-player status
visibility, VR movement mode and avoid-juniors, custom room codes), which is
what the new columns in the migration are for.
One test asserted the old nested PriceAndCurrency response shape; the
client's consumable formatter has no such key and reads Price and
PurchaseCurrencyId flat, so the test was corrected alongside the handler.
