Wire up the three uo-link sidecar surfaces that weren't integrated yet.
Champion spawns
- Ingest champ.update/champ.remove into a new shard_champs table (served from
our own store, like online/houses); public /site/champs board with a nav link,
live via the existing SSE feed (champ.* added to the public allowlist).
Staff write plane (admin + moderator)
- kick / ban / unban / broadcast via /admin/shard/*; actor is stamped server-side
from the session, never the browser. Sidecar status codes mapped (403 disabled/
protected, 404 unknown, 503/504 transient). admin.audit events are logged and
surfaced at /admin/shard/audit.
- New admin "In-Game Ops" view (/admin/shard-ops), plus per-account Kick/Ban/Unban
on the user-detail and character views (ShardAccountActions, self-gated to staff).
Help-page (support) queue
- Ingest page.new/updated/closed into a new shard_pages table; respond/close via
/admin/shard/pages/*. Champ board and page queue are snapshotted from the
sidecar's /champs and /pages on every WS (re)connect (guarded so a failed call
never wipes local state).
Verified live end-to-end against MariaDB + the Rust sidecar + ServUO; unit tests
cover ingest routing (shardIngest.champsPages.test.js). Swagger regenerated.

The site now ingests the sidecar's live WebSocket feed and persists it to its
own MariaDB, and re-broadcasts curated events to browsers over SSE.
- schema: shard_events (append-only notable-kind log, sha1 dedupe_key +
INSERT IGNORE for idempotent reconnect backfill), shard_online (current
players, upsert/refresh/remove), shard_economy (gold-supply series),
shard_houses (per-house decay stage + derived is_idoc).
- model/shardEvents + model/shardState: the .db.js/.model.js split; writes
take camelCase event data, reads are shaped; online upsert uses COALESCE so
a partial char.vitals refresh never blanks login fields.
- utils/shardIngest: single dispatcher routing each kind to state writes
and/or the event log, then the broadcaster. High-frequency kinds
(char.vitals, economy.supply) update state only. A changed server.hello
bootId clears the stale online roster. Deps are injected for unit testing.
- utils/uoLinkSocket: the server's first outbound WS client (ws dep). Verifies
the ws.hello protocol, backfills via /history + /economy on every
(re)connect (dedupe handles overlap), reconnects with capped backoff, and
mirrors connection state into uo_link_config. Self-guards: only connects when
the integration is enabled with a token.
- utils/shardBroadcast: SSE fan-out with public (safe kinds only) and admin
(all) channels, keepalive pings, per-client cleanup.
- server.js: start the ingest socket on boot (no-op until configured) and stop
it + close SSE streams on graceful shutdown.
