Module-Rust/client/src/lib/feed.js

// ── One stored frame as one line of a feed ────────────────────────────────
//
// `GET /public/rust/servers/:id/events` answers rows shaped
// `{ id, kind, t, wipeId, steamId, frame }`, where `frame` is the whole frame
// the plugin emitted — this module stores what it is given and indexes only the
// columns it serves (PROTOCOL.md §8.4, and the `raw` column in schema.sql). So
// everything a killfeed line needs is in `frame`, under the names the plugin
// wrote, and this file is the one place that knows them.
//
// **It returns PARTS, not a sentence.** A component wants the names emphasised
// and the detail muted, and a function returning `"Alice killed Bob"` forces
// either a `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` or a re-parse. Parts also make this
// testable without a DOM, which is the whole reason it is not a component.
//
// ── The rule for an unknown kind ──────────────────────────────────────────
//
// It renders as itself. A later protocol adds kinds, an operator's module may be
// older than their game host, and a feed that DROPPED what it did not recognise
// would be a page that quietly says less than the truth. The server's allowlist
// has already decided this row may be seen (`server/catalogue.js`); what is left
// here is presentation, and the honest presentation of a kind we have no words
// for is its own name.
