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.

* Add ZoneNames constants for protocol zone identifiers. Introduce a centralized ZoneNames namespace providing constexpr constants for zone identifiers used in the client-server protocol. This establishes a single source of truth for zone names like TABLE, GRAVE, EXILE, HAND, DECK, SIDEBOARD, and STACK. The protocol values remain unchanged (e.g., EXILE maps to rfg for backwards compatibility) while providing meaningful constant names.
* refactor(server): use ZoneNames constants in server game logic
Replace hardcoded zone name strings with ZoneNames:: constants in:
- server_player.cpp: zone setup, draw, shuffle, mulligan operations
- server_abstract_player.cpp: card movement and token destruction
- server_game.cpp: returning cards when players leave
No functional changes - purely mechanical string literal replacement.
* refactor(client): use ZoneNames constants in core player/zone logic
Update the foundational player and zone classes to use ZoneNames::
constants instead of string literals. Changes include:
- player.h/cpp: zone initialization and builtinZones set
- card_zone_logic.cpp: zone name translation for UI display
- table_zone.cpp: table zone operations
No functional changes - purely mechanical string literal replacement.
* refactor(client): use ZoneNames constants in player actions and events
Replace zone name strings with ZoneNames:: constants in the player
action and event handling code. player_actions.cpp contains the most
extensive changes (~90+ replacements) covering all card movement
commands.
No functional changes - purely mechanical string literal replacement.
* refactor(client): use ZoneNames constants in zone menu handlers
Update all zone-specific menu files to use ZoneNames:: constants
for QAction data values and zone targeting. This covers context menus
for cards, graveyard, hand, and exile (RFG) zones.
No functional changes - purely mechanical string literal replacement.
* refactor(client): use ZoneNames constants in game scene components
Update remaining game scene components to use ZoneNames:: constants:
- arrow_item.cpp: arrow drawing between cards
- game_scene.cpp: zone view positioning
- message_log_widget.cpp: removes duplicate local static constants
that were previously defining zone names redundantly
- phases_toolbar.cpp: phase actions (untap all)
Notable: message_log_widget.cpp previously had its own local constants
(TABLE_ZONE_NAME, GRAVE_ZONE_NAME, etc.) which are now removed in favor
of the centralized ZoneNames:: constants.
