Last round turned up that Quick Split had never been audited. Chasing that, the reason
the dealer table's modals had never been audited either turns out to be the harness,
not neglect: it reported the pot wizard covering the seats as ten faults and the
rulings sheet as seven. A modal covering the page is what a modal is for, and an
instrument that calls that a fault is one nobody can use in those states.
It now finds whatever is open on top and scopes the reachability checks to it — the
overlays, plus the phone seat sheet, which is a body class rather than an element. The
seat-ownership check is skipped outright while a sheet is open: seats behind it aren't
fighting each other for taps, nothing is meant to reach them at all.
Two worse faults came out of proving the fix rather than assuming it. Injecting a 20x14
button into the open wizard, the contrast check caught it and the touch-target check
did not:
* effectiveTarget returns null when elementFromPoint can't find the control, and the
check treated that as a pass. Silent skips are how faults hide — the same lesson as
the aria-hidden and faded-text exemptions before this. Unmeasurable controls are
now reported as warnings.
* The probe failed on anything scrolled out of its container. That was hiding a real
control: "Confirm Winner(s)", the button that pays the pot out, had gone unmeasured
for thirty-six rounds. It is scrolled into view before probing, and passes.
A checkbox inside a label is now measured by its label, since tapping the label is what
activates it. Without that, the dedicated-dealer toggle read as an unprobeable 24px
target when it has a 335x44 label around it.
The tool itself came out clean: no failures and no warnings across the table, the pot
wizard, the rulings sheet and the seat editor, on a real touch context at 44px. The
value here is that those states can be checked at all from now on — verified by
injection, which the fixed check catches and the old one did not.

Hold'em dealer tests
Unit tests for the money logic behind /Casino/TexasHoldem — the betting engine, the
side-pot calculator, the split calculator and the table state.
node --test tests/holdem/*.test.js
No install step, no package.json, no dependencies. The browser modules are plain
script-tag files that each end with a module.exports guard, so Node can require them
as-is; load.js puts them on globalThis under the same names they use to find each
other in the page, in the load order from TexasHoldem.cshtml.
What's covered
| File | Covers |
|---|---|
potCalculator.test.js |
Main and side pots, dead money, uncalled bets, odd-cent distribution |
betting.test.js |
Blinds, street completion, raises reopening the action, all-in run-outs |
state.test.js |
Button rotation, which seats post blinds, session standings |
splitCalculator.test.js |
Chopped pots, odd chips, unmakeable denominations |
invariants.test.js |
1000 randomised hands per property (see below) |
The layout audit
The unit tests above cover the money. uiAudit.js covers the thing you can only see
in a browser: whether a dealer can actually reach every control.
node tests/holdem/runUiAudit.js # needs Playwright and the site running
It checks WCAG AA contrast, touch target sizes, touch-action and tap highlights, that fields stay selectable and are large enough not to trigger iOS zoom, that nothing important is covered or off-screen with no way to scroll to it, that no grid column has collapsed to nothing, and that no text is painted outside its box. It runs over the table, all five overlays and Quick Split, at thirteen viewports from a 360px phone to a 1600px desktop and the same phones on their side.
Deliberately not in CI: the unit suite is dependency-free and runs in a second, while
this one needs a browser and a running site. Run it after any change that adds or
resizes a control. With no Playwright to hand, paste uiAudit.js into devtools and
call LayoutAudit.runAll().
The contrast check is built so it cannot report a false positive: backgrounds
composite through alpha, and where a gradient is involved every colour stop is tried
and the most flattering one used. A finding means the text fails even under the
reading most generous to it. Two earlier attempts at this got it wrong in both
directions — one read only background-color and scored text on a gradient against
nothing, the other treated low-alpha stops as opaque — so uiAudit.js is checked
against known-answer cases before it is believed.
Touch targets are measured by probing outward with elementFromPoint rather than by
reading the element box, because the box lies in both directions: a small control can
be padded out with a transparent ::after and respond well beyond its painted size,
and a checkbox inside a label is hit by tapping the label. The 44px rule is only
enforced where hover: none says there's no mouse.
It exists because these checks were being re-typed into a console every time something changed, and each time they only covered whatever had just been touched. That is how the standings table shipped with a player-name column zero pixels wide and kept it for two rounds.
Why the randomised suite exists
Every correctness bug found in this tool so far has been shape-dependent: blinds posted to empty chairs, the button skipping past players, heads-up acting out of order, an overbet announced as a side pot. None of them show up on a full six-handed table with equal stacks, which is the table anyone writes a fixed example for.
invariants.test.js deals a thousand hands across random seat counts, random empty
chairs, random stack depths and random dealer input, and checks the things a dealer
would notice being wrong:
- chips are never created or destroyed during play
- the pot breakdown plus the uncalled returns always equal the money that went in
- paying the pot out settles it to the cent
- once uncalled chips are handed back, nobody is still betting above the whole table
- the button and both blinds always land on players who are actually in the hand
The generator is seeded, so a failure reproduces from the seed printed in the message rather than being a flake to re-run.
