ServUO ships Server.cfg with `Name=My Shard`. An operator who never edited it
publishes that verbatim, so the rules page read "My Shard" under a header
carrying the real name. That value is the shard saying *unnamed* rather than
naming anything, so the site now answers with its own.
`settings.getInstanceName()` resolves `site_title || BRAND_NAME` — the same
resolution `getPublic().brand.name` already uses, so an install that set only
the site title can never show two different names on two pages. Bare
`brand.name` would have been wrong for exactly that case.
Substituted at INGEST rather than on read: world.ruleset is also broadcast
live, and the same object is handed to the SSE fan-out, so a read-time fix
would be undone by the next reconnect's frame. Matched case- and
padding-insensitively but only as a whole value, so a shard genuinely called
"My Shard Reborn" keeps its name.
Fixes a second ruleset writer found on the way: uoLinkSocket.backfill() called
shardState.setRuleset directly instead of going through the dispatcher as
ingestEach does, so the boot/reconnect snapshot silently skipped this
normalization. The two arrival orders have to produce the same stored frame.
Also renders a placeholder row on an unscored leaderboard — the instance name
with an em dash where a score goes, deliberately not shaped like an entry (no
medal, no bar) because a placeholder that looked like a real standing would be
a fabricated one. Presentation only; the API still sends an empty `top`.
Verified live against the shard + sidecar: rules page and leaderboards on web
and Android both correct.

Protocol 3.0 §7 (docs/link/v3.md). The shard publishes ~25 points/loyalty
leaderboards — Queen's Loyalty, Void Pool, the nine city loyalties, Clean Up
Britannia — and the site renders them, plus each character's own standings on
their sheet.
Server
- shard_points_boards: one row per system, keyed by the shard's PointsType
name. The top-N list stays inside `payload` — a fixed-size list read whole,
exactly like shard_governors.candidates. Normalizing into an entries table
buys nothing until something needs a per-character reverse lookup, and a
character's own standings already ride inside char.profile.
- shardIngest routes points.board to upsertPointsBoard and deliberately does
NOT log it: this is board state like guild.update, and the shard emits a
frame every time anyone's score moves a top ten.
- uoLinkSocket backfills /points through snapshot() with ingestEach rather
than a replace*: there is no points.remove and the system set is fixed, so
upserting IS the reconciliation, and a system the operator later excludes
keeps its last-known board rather than vanishing.
- GET /public/shard/points and /points/:system behind
requireFeature('leaderboards'), both projected per §3.6.1. :system is
constrained to an identifier before any query runs; 404 for a system never
published, distinct from a published board nobody has scored in (200, empty
top).
The leaderboards field rule now keys on `name`, not `characterName`
Part A pre-wired FEATURES.leaderboards.fields = { characterName: ... }, but
projectValue matches on the LITERAL JSON key and the wire key is `name`. As
written the rule was inert: an admin tightening character names would have got
no enforcement and no error — precisely the failure §3.6.1 records for the
flattened `ownerAcct` spelling. Fixed, with a test that fails if it is renamed
back, and the admin panel's FIELD_LABEL carries the meaning instead.
Client
- routes/public/Leaderboards.jsx at /site/leaderboards. A points.board frame
describes ONE system, so live frames merge over the fetched set by system
key rather than replacing it wholesale the way the ruleset does. Filter
matches board name, system key, or any ranked player — the last is what
makes it useful ("where do I appear?").
- A "Loyalty & Points" section in CharacterSheet.jsx, one edit serving both
PlayerCharacter and AdminCharacter.
- Both treat maxPoints: 0 as UNCAPPED and both fall back to humanising the
system key when nameString is null. Neither is defensive padding: on a real
shard uncapped and cliloc-only names are the majority case.
Verified end to end against the local MariaDB, the Rust sidecar, and the real
ServUO shard: backfill from /points, live SSE delivery (a board absent from the
initial fetch appearing without a reload, and an existing one updating in
place), REST reflecting the overwrite, and the gate at every rung — 200 by
default with names, names stripped but points kept at fieldRules name=staff, 403
plus dropped from /features at audience=staff, 404 when disabled. Page rendered
clean, no console errors beyond the pre-existing React Router v7 warnings.
605 server tests pass; routes.manifest.json, routes.guards.json and the OpenAPI
spec regenerated.
