[DeckShare] Open shared decks via links with a gated preview flow (#7244)
* [DeckShare] Open shared decks via links with a gated preview flow

- Serialized url-chain dispatcher in IntentUrlParser; queue-drained
  urlChainFinished(bool) drives the startup auto-connect fallback
- Open-shared-deck intent with sequential download state machine,
  15s per-item timeout, partial-success offer, livable Cancel via
  ApplicationModal dlg_login_prompt interactive fallback
- Preview dialog: download progress label, share vocab sweep,
  palette-highlight selection frame, Space/Enter keyboard toggle,
  NoFocus checkbox, double-click tile opens immediately
- Confirm-before-server-migration with one-shot restore to the
  previous server on failed/cancelled chains (statusChanged settle
  deferral), hostname-only identity comparisons
- Skip credential link when already connected; arrow-key navigation
  in FlowWidget; card glows use palette highlight
- Address code-review M1-M4 and UI/UX QA blockers 1-2

* [DeckShare] End the open-shared-deck files with a trailing newline

* [DeckShare] Forward a dependency's cancellation as the owner's own

* [DeckShare] Let intent chains opt into the link sign-in dialog

* [DeckShare] Track link-intent chains per-run so each can restore its own session

* [Settings] Match a server on the exact host and port when adding it

* [DeckShare] Confirm the share link's target server before opening a deck

* [DeckShare] Reformat the link sign-in intent constructor

* [DeckShare] Time the share-list round trip and backstop silently-destroyed intent chains

* [Client] Drain a single-instance payload before its handlers read the socket again

* [Client] Treat a busy single-instance primary as alive instead of stealing its socket

* [DeckShare] Keep arrow-key navigation between flow items inside a scroll area

* [Client] Skip the startup connection when a macOS URL launch owns the connection

* [Client] Redact share secrets from activation URL logs

* [Client] Make the link-connection gates port-aware and keyboard-safe

Second-pass review notes for the shared-deck link flow (Cockatrice#7244):

- FlowWidget arrow-key navigation is opt-in via addNavigableWidget, so
  combo/spin controls on the analytics flows keep their own arrow keys
- isConnectedTo and the open-deck/join-game preconditions compare the
  configured server port alongside the host, so a same-host/different-port
  link cannot resolve its share token or game id on the wrong instance
- the link sign-in dialog reuses an existing server entry's saved name
  instead of renaming it to the raw hostname
- skipStartupAutoConnect is cleared once the launch chain connects, so a
  later mid-session declined link cannot fire the startup fallback
- the plain-launch path of SingleInstanceManager no longer blocks on the
  primary's ACK
- link- and server-supplied text is html-escaped in the confirm prompts and
  shared-deck preview so markup cannot spoof the shown messages

Cockatrice

Cockatrice is an open-source, multiplatform application for playing tabletop card games over a network. The program's server design prevents users from manipulating the game for unfair advantage. The client also provides a single-player mode, which allows users to brew while offline.

This project uses C++ and the Qt libraries.

Code

To contribute code to the project, please review our guidelines first.
We maintain two tags for contributors to easier find issues to potentially work on:

  • Good first issue
    Issues tagged in this way provide a simple way to get started. They don't require much experience to be worked on.
  • Help wanted
    This tag is used for issues that we are looking for somebody to pick up. Often this is for feature suggestions we support, but don't have the time to work on ourselves.

For both tags, we're willing to provide help to contributors in showing them where and how they can make changes, as well as code reviews for submitted changes.
We'll happily advice on how best to implement a feature, or we can show you where the codebase is doing something similar before you get too far along - put a note on an issue you want to discuss more on!

You can also have a look at our Todo List in our Code Documentation or search the repo for \todo comments.

Documentation CI Docs

There are various places where useful information for different needs are maintained:

Cockatrice tries to use the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide to ensure consistent documentation. We encourage you to improve the documentation by suggesting edits based on this guide.

Translation Transifex Project

Cockatrice uses Transifex to manage translations. You can help us bring Cockatrice and Oracle to your language and just adjust single wordings right from within your browser by visiting our Transifex project page. The Webatrice web client manages its own translations in its repo.

Check out our Translator FAQ for more information about getting involved, and join a group of hundreds of others!

Build CI Desktop CI Docker

Dependencies: (for minimum versions search our CMake file)

Oracle can optionally use some packages to load compressed card files:


Basic compilation steps:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

You can then

  • Create a Cockatrice installation inside the release folder:
    make install
    
  • Or make an installation package specific to your system:
    make package
    

Note

Detailed compiling instructions can be found in the Cockatrice wiki at Compiling Cockatrice


The following flags (with their non-default values) can be passed to cmake:

Flag Description
-DWITH_SERVER=1 Build Servatrice server
-DWITH_CLIENT=0 Don't build Cockatrice client
-DWITH_ORACLE=0 Don't build Oracle card database tool
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug Compile in debug mode
Enables extra logging output, debug symbols, and much more verbose compiler warnings
-DWARNING_AS_ERROR=0 Don't treat compilation warnings as errors in debug mode
-DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=1 Configure make to update the translation .ts files for new strings in the source code
Note: make clean will remove the .ts files
-DTEST=1 Enable regression tests
Note: make test to run tests, googletest will be downloaded if not available

Run

Cockatrice is the game client
Oracle fetches card data
Servatrice is the server

Docker

You can build an image & deploy a Servatrice (Cockatrice server) container using Docker and our Dockerfile yourself.

For more details, look into our wiki section on Setting up Servatrice.
You'll also find more hints on our pre-build image there, or the docker-compose file which will configure and run both a MySQL server and Servatrice.
