Adds OS-level URL-scheme handlers so users can click a link in a browser,
chat client, or third-party tool to launch Cockatrice straight into a
server / game / Oracle update.
Supported URL forms:
cockatrice://joingame?hostname=H&port=P&roomid=R&gameid=G[&spectate=1]
cockatrice-oracle://update[?spoilers=1]
Credentials passed via URL (username/password query params) are deliberately
ignored — URLs leak through shell history, browser history, EDR capture, etc.
If the target server requires auth and no saved credentials match, the Connect
dialog opens pre-filled with the URL's host/port so the user types their
password locally.
OS integration
- Linux: MimeType=x-scheme-handler/cockatrice (and -oracle) added to the
.desktop files; Exec=cockatrice %u passes the URL through.
- Windows: NSIS installer writes HKCR\cockatrice and HKCR\cockatrice-oracle
registry entries; uninstaller removes them.
- macOS: per-app Info.cockatrice.plist / Info.oracle.plist declare
CFBundleURLTypes; a QFileOpenEvent filter is installed on QApplication
before any nested event loop so cold-start URLs aren't lost.
New abstractions
- Intent (libcockatrice_utility/libcockatrice/utility/intent.h): abstract base
for chained async actions. Guarantees finished() fires at most once,
execute() is idempotent, self-deletes via deleteLater, and
startTimeoutSafetyNet() arms a configurable per-stage deadline. Concrete
intents (IntentConnectToServer, IntentLogin, IntentJoinServerRoom,
IntentJoinServerGame) compose the joingame flow via UrlParser.
- SingleInstanceManager: async per-user local-socket primary/secondary
handshake; URL forwarded from secondary to primary with QDataStream framing
both ways. shared_ptr-backed resolved flag survives every lambda capture.
- UrlSchemeEventFilter (new libcockatrice_utility_gui sibling library): QObject
event filter that translates macOS QFileOpenEvent into a urlReceived(QString)
signal. Lives in its own Gui-bearing lib so libcockatrice_utility stays
Core+Network only and doesn't drag Qt::Gui into servatrice.
- UrlUtils (header-only): pure URL parsing, fully unit-tested.
Wiring
- MainWindow::handleUrl(QString) — single entry point for any URL source.
- DlgConnect::prefillNewHost(host, port) — pre-fills new-host inputs.
- ServersSettings::findSavedCredsByHostPort — case-insensitive saved-creds
lookup.
- TabSupervisor::requestJoinRoom + roomJoinedById / roomJoinFailedById signals,
TabServer::roomAlreadyJoined for the short-circuit "already in this room"
path — single source of truth for duplicate-join handling.
Tests
- 36 new unit tests across four single-purpose targets in tests/:
- url_utils_test (22 tests) — scheme matching, port/room/game validation,
spectator flag, credentials ignored, case-insensitivity.
- url_scheme_event_filter_test (3 tests) — QFileOpenEvent capture.
- intent_test (7 tests) — self-delete, abort propagation, parent-destruction-
mid-flight, finish-once gate, execute() idempotence.
- single_instance_manager_test (4 tests) — per-user socket naming, becoming-
primary alone, forwarding to an existing primary, single-emission of
roleResolved.
Build tooling (incidental)
- Dockerfile.format, docker-compose.format.yml, Makefile — a docker-based
runner for format.sh that mirrors CI's desktop-lint step.

set macos qt version to 6
Try upgrading XCode versions to latest they can be supported on
Ensure Qt gets linked
add tmate so i can see what's going on
Qt6 points two directories further down than Qt5 with regard to the top lib path, so we need to account for this
Establish Plugins directory for Qt6

Wrong symbols
Qt6 patch up for signal
add missing qt6 package on deb builds
boolean expressions are hard
negative indexes should go to the end
Intentionally fail cache
move size checks to individual zone types
Hardcode libs needed for building on Windows, as the regex was annoying
Update wording
use the --parallel option in all builds
clean up the .ci scripts some more
tweak fedora build
add os parameter to compile.sh
I don't really like this but it seems the easiest way
I'd prefer if these types of quirks would live in the main configuration
file, the yml
fixup yml
readd appended cache key to vcpkg step
fix windows 32 quirk
the json hash is already added to the key as well
remove os parameter and clean up ci files
set name_build.sh to output relative paths
set backwards compatible version of xcode and qt on mac
set QTDIR for mac builds on qt5
has no effect for qt6
export BUILD_DIR to name_build.sh
merge mac build steps
merge homebrew steps, set package suffix
link qt5
remove brew link
set qtdir to qt5 only
compile.sh vars need to be empty not 0

clean up translation loading
move en@source translation file so it will not get included in packages
NOTE: this needs to be done at transifex as well!
Use generator platform over osname
Short circuit if not Win defined
* add option to delete a user's messages
add optional parameter remove_messages to the ban and warn commands
add event for clients to redact messages
implement server side command and message handling
implement server history removal
todo: client side implementation
add option to remove messages to moderator action dialogs
add storage of message beginnings to chatview
add redactMessage command
handle Event_RemoveMessages on rooms
this approach is favored over parsing the chatroom after the fact but
will use additional memory to store the block indexes
this also leaves a problem in that user messages from the chat backlog
are not removed in the same way because they don't have a user
associated with them
add workaround for old qt versions
add action for users to remove messages from users in chats
add chat history to userMessagePositions with regex
proper const usage for userName
allow removing the messages of unregistered users
add menus to usernames in chat history
this allows you to remove user messages on chat history as well
this also allows moderators to take actions on users in chat history
Apply suggestions from code review
* readd missing call to handler
* ignore .tx folder
* cmake: when UPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=ON, extract new strings only to the
english translation file.
* added info in CONTRIBUTING.md
* updated english translations
