Seeded a table that looks like a real game — "Mike from work", "Jean-Philippe",
stacks from $12 to $3,200,000 — and measured what the layout does with it.
".00" was costing a third of a seat puck
Every amount rendered with two forced decimal places. Measured, the trailing
".00" is ~22px, against the 64px a seat puck has to show a stack in. So
"$1,250,000.00" needed 102px of a 64px box — and because a number has no spaces
to break on, it neither wrapped nor ellipsised. It drew straight out over the
seat next to it.
Money now shows cents only when there are cents. A chip game deals in whole
numbers nearly all the time, and "$12" says exactly what "$12.00" said in half
the width. A quarter-blind game is untouched: $0.25, $12.50 and $0.75 pots all
still read as before, checked against a 25c/50c table.
That alone took "$1,250,000.00" down to "$1,250,000" — 102px to 80px, still
wider than the 64px puck. The remaining overflow is handled by stepping the font
down on long amounts, which keeps every digit. Abbreviating to "$1.25M" would
have fit more comfortably and was the obvious move, but a dealer reading a
rounded stack off the felt is a worse failure than a small one, and the exact
figure is the entire point of the tool. Measured after: every stack now paints
inside its own puck, nothing spills onto a neighbour.
Because Money.format is the single formatter all 47 call sites go through, this
lands on the seat pucks, action bar, pot breakdown, seat menu, standings and
history at once — the payoff from consolidating it earlier.
The CSV export couldn't be added up
The file exists so a house manager or a disputed chip count has something that
outlives the tab, and every money column in it was written as text:
"$1,250,000.00". The commas were quoted correctly so the file always parsed —
it just imported as strings, so the one thing anyone opens it to do, total a
column, needed every cell cleaned first.
Money columns now go in as bare numbers (1250000.00) with no symbol and no
separators. The columns meant for humans stay human: names are still names,
payouts still read "Alexandra: $1,250,000", and a name with a comma in it is
still quoted.
12 new tests (88 total, all passing), including the case that would be ruined by
dropping cents unconditionally, and a proper quote-aware CSV parser to check
every money cell parses as a number.
Re-ran the occlusion sweep from the previous round at 9 seats, 10 seats and
tournament stacks: still clean, no regression from the font changes.

Somebody rebuying is the most common interruption in a cash game, and the only
way to record it was to open the seat editor and retype a stack from memory.
Press and hold a seat and there's now "Add chips…": quick amounts off the
table's starting stack — half a buy-in, a buy-in, two — with a keypad for the
times it isn't one of those. It's undoable like every other seat action, and it
records cash handed over as well as chips added, because those answer different
questions. The stack moves every hand; what a player has paid in only moves
when they buy.
The export gains bought in, chips now, and up/down, so settling up at the end of
the night is reading a row rather than reconstructing it.
Getting that last column right needed care. Chips in front of a player disagree
with the hand log for as long as a hand is open — and since blinds post the
instant the previous hand settles, that window is almost always. Counting what a
player already has in the current pot as still theirs makes the cash position
agree with the hand log at any moment, including across a rebuy.

The hand log answered "what happened in hand 12"; it couldn't answer "what
does Alice owe". Each resolved pot now records a per-seat ledger (what that
player put in, what they took down) alongside the payouts, and a Session
Standings panel sums it into one row per player — paid in, won, net, sorted
by who's up. The CSV export carries the same table, so one file covers both
the hand-by-hand trail and the cash-out numbers.
Keyed by seat id rather than name, so renaming or reseating a player doesn't
split their totals. Hands recorded before this change have no ledger and are
skipped rather than counted wrong.

A dedicated dealer needs a paper trail that outlives the browser tab, not
just a scrollable in-app panel — the Export CSV button downloads the full
resolved-pot log (hand #, time, pot, payouts) for recordkeeping or a
disputed chip count after the session ends.
