Keep the list of who's next, instead of leaving it on a napkin

A full home game always has two or three people standing behind the chairs, and the list of who's next lives on a napkin or in the dealer's head. That is where the argument an hour later comes from. The tool had just learned to open a chair — somebody cashes out and the seat is free — and had nothing to say about who should sit in it. The Session panel keeps the list in order of arrival, which is the only ordering anybody has ever agreed to. Whoever is at the front is offered the first open chair by number, and everybody else waits their turn: a list that isn't kept in order is a pile of names, and jumping the queue is the thing a dealer gets shouted at for. With the table full it says so rather than offering a seat that doesn't exist. The same offer appears on the empty chair's own menu — "Seat Priya" — because tapping the chair somebody is about to sit in is what a dealer's hand does anyway. Sitting somebody down puts their name on the chair and nothing else. No stack, no buy-in, not dealt in: they haven't paid yet, and inventing chips for them would put money on the table nobody has handed over, which is the one thing the bank check exists to catch. Add chips is the next thing the dealer does, and it is one tap away in the same menu. Two people called Mike are two people — the list is keyed by id, not by name. Names are trimmed, blanks are refused, and a saved list from a table that never had one comes back empty rather than undefined. 15 new tests, with the occupied-chair guard removed and a stack handed to the new player on purpose to confirm they fail. Walked through the browser: two names added to a full table, a player cashed out to open seat 2, the front of the queue seated there with nothing in front of them, the bank still balanced, and the second name taken off the list. 156 audits with the list populated, including a name long enough to test the row.

jheapsandClaude Opus 5	55eb569d3b	Keep the list of who's next, instead of leaving it on a napkin A full home game always has two or three people standing behind the chairs, and the list of who's next lives on a napkin or in the dealer's head. That is where the argument an hour later comes from. The tool had just learned to open a chair — somebody cashes out and the seat is free — and had nothing to say about who should sit in it. The Session panel keeps the list in order of arrival, which is the only ordering anybody has ever agreed to. Whoever is at the front is offered the first open chair by number, and everybody else waits their turn: a list that isn't kept in order is a pile of names, and jumping the queue is the thing a dealer gets shouted at for. With the table full it says so rather than offering a seat that doesn't exist. The same offer appears on the empty chair's own menu — "Seat Priya" — because tapping the chair somebody is about to sit in is what a dealer's hand does anyway. Sitting somebody down puts their name on the chair and nothing else. No stack, no buy-in, not dealt in: they haven't paid yet, and inventing chips for them would put money on the table nobody has handed over, which is the one thing the bank check exists to catch. Add chips is the next thing the dealer does, and it is one tap away in the same menu. Two people called Mike are two people — the list is keyed by id, not by name. Names are trimmed, blanks are refused, and a saved list from a table that never had one comes back empty rather than undefined. 15 new tests, with the occupied-chair guard removed and a stack handed to the new player on purpose to confirm they fail. Walked through the browser: two names added to a full table, a player cashed out to open seat 2, the front of the queue seated there with nothing in front of them, the bank still balanced, and the second name taken off the list. 156 audits with the list populated, including a name long enough to test the row.

jheapsandClaude Opus 5	86886ac126	Take a hand back, which the rulings sheet has been asking for all along This tool has told dealers to redeal on a misdeal since the rulings sheet was written — first card to the wrong seat, a seat entitled to a hand dealt out, one of the first two cards exposed — and it had no way to do it. The only control that ended a live hand was Next Hand, which says out loud that it takes the money off the table without paying anybody. That is the right answer for an abandoned pot and the wrong one for a misdeal, where the blinds and the calls belong to the people who put them in. Undo covers the first second of it: "↶ dealing the hand" is one tap. But the action history lives in memory, so a dealer who is three calls in, or who has refreshed the page mid-hand, has nothing — and a refresh mid-hand is exactly the situation this tool has spent rounds making survivable everywhere else. Misdeal appears in the header while a hand is out and goes away when it isn't: before the deal there is nothing to take back, and afterwards it would be offering to unwind a hand that has already been paid. It says what it will do to the money — "$25 goes back to the players who put it in, cards are cleared, and the same button deals again" — and adds a note when two or more players have already acted, because most rooms let a deal stand at that point. It doesn't refuse: which conditions make a misdeal is the dealer's call and the sheet is right there. What comes back is everything, including chips already swept into hand totals on an earlier street — the first version returned only the current street's and would have quietly kept a flop's betting. What stays is the button, the blinds, the straddle and anyone posting in: a misdeal is the same hand dealt again, not the next one, so the hand number doesn't move and nothing is logged. 13 new tests, with the sweep and the straddle broken on purpose to confirm they catch it. Measured through the UI: pot $25 with three players in, take it back, every stack is exactly $200 again, the bank still balances, and dealing again posts the same blinds on the same players from the same button. 156 audits with the button live, including a landscape header that stays one row at 46px.

jheapsandClaude Opus 5	f966d8c340	Pay somebody out and keep the chair, the cash and the record straight The most ordinary thing that happens at a home game after midnight — somebody counts up and goes home — and the tool had nothing for it. Freeing the chair meant wiping the seat by hand, and the bank check then declared their whole stack missing: "someone has paid for chips they haven't been given", for the rest of the night. Measured on a balanced table, cashing a player out with $350 in front of them left the check $350 short. Wiping their buy-in as well silenced it, at the price of losing their entire night from the standings and from the file the dealer hands over at the end. Cashing out is two facts, and both have to survive the empty chair: the box took their cash, and the box handed their chips back. Both are kept now, so the chair opens and the money still adds up. Cash out… is in the seat menu. It says what to count — "$350 — 3×$100, 2×$25" — what they bought in for, and whether they leave up or down, because that is the sentence the dealer says while their hands are moving. The bank check gains a Paid out line and reads "balanced ... once the $350 paid out to players who have left is counted", alongside the discards and the house's cut. The standings keep them with a stripe and the words "· paid out", so nobody counts money out to them twice at 2am, and the export marks them the same way. It refuses to pay anybody with money still in the middle: taking chips out of a pot other people can win, or handing the same chips over twice, are both worse than waiting for the hand to finish. The chair gets a fresh id, because the person who had it has gone and the next player to sit down is not them. Two things this turned up. The first draft worked out what a seat was holding by itself, read `Number(null)` as a perfectly good zero, and offered to pay a player with no stack set nothing at all — it asks Betting now, which owns that rule. The second was mine and the audit caught it: marking the departed row with opacity took the In and Won cells to 3.83:1, under AA, on the very list a dealer settles from. It is a stripe instead. 19 new tests, with the departed buy-in dropped from the check and the pot guard disabled on purpose to confirm they fail. Walked through in the browser: menu, confirm, payout, bank, standings, undo, and the refusal.

jheapsandClaude Opus 5	0e2821257f	Run the clock on a player, instead of counting in your head The bar has had a stopwatch on the acting seat for a while: how long this player has been thinking, so the dealer knows when it's worth a nudge. What it never had was the thing a dealer actually does about it. Calling the clock is a procedure — a player asks, the dealer grants it, the player gets a set time and then a countdown said out loud, and if they still haven't acted the hand is decided for them. Running that from this tool meant counting in your head while the table argued about whether it had been thirty seconds yet. Thirty and then ten, which is the common form and what the TDA writes down. The countdown is the part the table hears, so it is marked apart rather than being ten more seconds of the same: the readout switches to a bare number and turns red. At zero the bar says the ruling in the dealer's own words and offers it as one button. The ruling depends on what they were facing, and getting that backwards is the part worth being careful about. Facing a bet, the hand is dead. Facing nothing, it is checked — nobody gets folded for being slow when checking was free. Three things about where it sits. The button appears only once somebody has been thinking long enough for the table to start asking, which is the same threshold the stopwatch already marks, so an ordinary hand costs no room at all: measured at 390x844, the bar is 152px with or without it. It is 44px like everything else a thumb has to find — it was drawn at 36 and the audit called it at every touch viewport the moment the check ran, which is the rule doing its job on a control that kills a hand. And once the count is over the Stop button goes, because there is nothing left to stop: at 640x360 its 94px pushed the undo control onto a second line and the taller bar covered the two bottom seats. The ordinary Fold/Check/Raise stay underneath the ruling. A player who speaks up as the count ends is still acting, and whether it was in time is the dealer's call, not the tool's. 11 new tests, and both halves of the ruling were inverted on purpose to check they catch it. Watched end to end in the browser at shortened intervals: the button appears, the count runs down, the ruling lands, and the hand is killed — or checked — with the undo control naming what happened.

jheapsandClaude Opus 5	c19575ab10	Count the house's cut instead of calling it missing chips A game that takes a rake has chips leaving the table every hand, and the bank check had no idea. It added up the buy-ins, added up the chips on the felt, and told the dealer somebody had been paid for chips they were never given — a shortfall that grows all night and points at a miscount that never happened. Every home game that takes a drop for the beer fund hits this on hand one. So the tool takes it, rather than watching it go. Under Table Setup: a percentage, an optional cap, and "no flop, no drop" — the rule almost everyone plays, on by default, where a hand that ends before the flop pays nothing. Zero percent is a game that doesn't rake, which is most of them and the default, and nothing about that game changes. Where it shows up is the point. The pot wizard says "House takes $2 of $40 — 5%, capped at $5" above the payouts, before a chip moves, because the summary is the dealer's last chance to disagree with the arithmetic and money taken quietly is the one thing a tool like this must never do. The bank check gets a House take line and says "balanced ... once the $2 in the house's cut is counted". The hand log keeps the pot as the table saw it with the cut recorded beside it, and the export has a column for it, so the night's total is one sum in a spreadsheet. Two decisions worth stating. The rake rounds down to a chip the table actually has: a house that can't make 40c takes nothing and the players keep it, which is the only way to be wrong about this that nobody argues with. And on a split pot it comes off the top, then what is left is shared in proportion — with the rounding leftovers going back to the winners rather than to the house, which asked for a number and gets that number, not that number plus dust. Measured end to end through the UI: 5% capped at $5 on a $40 pot pays $38 and banks $2; four stacks plus the cut come to exactly the $800 bought in; the bank check reads balanced. With no-flop-no-drop on, a hand folded round pre-flop pays the full $15 and takes nothing; with it off the same hand pays $14 and takes $1.

jheapsandClaude Opus 5	8aa90e90a4	Give a phone on its side the table shape it needs The last two rounds left one thing failing and said so: a landscape phone with six or twelve seats stacked two of them 25px apart at each end of the felt, with pucks 64px tall. It has been there since seats were first spaced by distance rather than by angle. Three things were wrong at once, and it needed all three. The rim is the wrong shape when the table is very flat. An ellipse 616px wide and 96px tall has nowhere to put the seats near its ends: the curve doubles back on itself, so two seats a long walk apart come out one above the other. Past two and a half times wider than tall the rim is now a stadium — two straight rails with a half-round cap at each end, which is how a real poker table is built and exactly why it is built that way. A cap is a half-circle of the felt's own height, so an end takes one seat and the rest is rail. Only past that ratio: measured, the cut-off lands between a landscape phone at 4.4 and every other layout the tool has, 1.45 at 1280x900 and 1.0 to 1.4 upright, so no working table changes shape. The ring had less height than the felt did. The seat layer is inset by half a puck to keep the outermost seats on screen, and 26px off the top and bottom of a 96px felt left 44px to work with — less than half the table, which is why no rim shape could have fixed it alone. The inset is a percentage where the felt is short. The landscape branch never had that rule at all, because it is matched on height while the inset lives in a width query, so an 844px-wide phone on its side drew its ring against the felt's whole box; with a flat-topped stadium rail that put a dealer button over Resolve Pot in the header. And the puck was a line too tall. In the tight state the hole cards give up their row: of the four things on a puck, the cards are the one the dealer is holding in their other hand, and the seat editor still shows them. That took the puck from 64px to 55px, which is what finally cleared the ends. Measured across 36 combinations of nine viewports and 2, 6, 9 and 12 seats: the closest two seats at 640x360 go from 25px apart to 55px, and every combination is clean. Then 216 audits across thirteen viewports, three seat counts and both a mouse and a thumb: no failures, no console errors.
