Add approved & assigned issue number here:
Resolves #(5315)

Description:

Current implementation:

  • Adding click+hold functionality to launch multiple nukes via ConfirmGhostStructureEvent Instead of the prototype's mouse event approach.
  • Behavior is restricted to mouse (via event.pointerType === "mouse") for the time being.

Potential additions/changes considered (Feedback desired):

Worth mentioning: This different PR (which also stems from the prototype, see Issue#5265) deals with a different approach to empowering the player.

Resulting behavior is that the interval would fire as many nukes as uiState.upgradeMultiplier has active. This might be relevant because in practice, the combination of both is often overkill. This will get addressed when/if either PR gets merged.

Note: PR is set to draft initially so that discussion about these changes can happen before committing to a final approach.

  • Add a setting (defaults to true) under "Gameplay" to disable the behavior:

    • Pro: Give more power to the user to customize their experience.
    • Con: Settings bloated by one additional toggle.
  • Add additional settings to control the HOLD_POINTER_WAIT_MS and HOLD_SECOND_ACTION_DELAY_MS variables:

    • Pro: Give more power to the user to customize their experience.
    • Con: Settings bloated by two additional sliders.
  • Different approaches to input method (In comparison to current one):

    • Changing behavior to a key (such as Enter, which already confirms ghost events) instead of holding click:
      • Pro: Would make accidental triggering of the rapid-fire mechanic less common.
      • Con: A key only solution would be less intuitive than holding click.
    • Adding a key to trigger behavior:
      • Pro: Give more power to the user to customize their experience.
      • Con: It should be rebindable, and therefore would also bloat settings.
    • Requiring a key to be held down for the behavior to trigger.
      • Pro: Pretty much ensures no accidental triggering ever.
      • Con: Severely harms usefulness, as it would be cumbersome.
  • Expanding behavior to structures that are not nukes

    • Con: Slightly outside the scope of this PR (I don't mind, but the reviewer might).
    • As expanding the existing AutoUpgradeEvent pipeline:
      • Pro: Would split behavior between offensive actions, could set a different (probably slower) interval.
    • As left click holding:
      • Pro: Would be potentially useful for upgrading structures.

Please complete the following:

  • I have added screenshots for all UI updates
    • No UI updates at this point in time.
  • I process any text displayed to the user through translateText() and I've added it to the en.json file
    • No text displayed at this point in time.
  • I have added relevant tests to the test directory
    • 4 tests have been added under its own describe statement within InputHandler.test.ts

Ran relevant tests locally. No tests failing.

Walkthrough

InputHandler now supports mouse click-and-hold confirmation for AtomBomb and HydrogenBomb ghost structures. It adds timed repetition, movement cancellation, pointer-release cleanup, teardown cleanup, and fake-timer tests for timing and cancellation behavior.

Changes

Click-hold confirmation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Click-hold input behavior
src/client/InputHandler.ts
Mouse pointerdown starts click-hold processing for bomb ghost structures. Timers emit an initial confirmation and repeated confirmations. Pointer movement, release, and destruction clear the timers.
Click-hold timing and cancellation tests
tests/InputHandler.test.ts
Tests verify grace-period clicks, stationary repetition timing, post-grace movement, and cancellation before the grace period ends.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 74283

A bomb hold can launch an unintended extra bomb, and changing focus can leave launches repeating after input ends. The source also fails lint, so these issues should be fixed before merge.

536-557: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Clear click-hold timers when the window loses focus.

The blur handler resets pointerDown and other held-input state, but it does not call clickHoldCleanup(). If focus changes during the 100 ms grace period, the pending timer still emits confirmations and starts the repeat interval after input state has been cleared.

Call clickHoldCleanup() in this handler.

Replace the side-effect ternary with if and else.

tseslint.configs.recommended enables @typescript-eslint/no-unused-expressions. The standalone ternary at lines 1264–1266 is therefore reported by lint:eslint, which makes the declared lint command fail.

Proposed fix

-        ? this.eventBus.emit(new ConfirmGhostStructureEvent())
-        : this.clickHoldCleanup();

Suppress the release confirmation after a hold confirmation.

After clickHold() emits ConfirmGhostStructureEvent at HOLD_POINTER_WAIT_MS (100 ms), releasing before HOLD_SECOND_ACTION_DELAY_MS (500 ms) still emits MouseUpEvent. BuildPreviewController handles both events, so the release can send two bomb build requests. Track the hold confirmation for the current pointer and skip its MouseUpEvent. Add a test for this timing window.

Use the required full-game test setup.

This suite manually creates a mock GameView and an EventBus. It does not use setup() from tests/util/Setup.ts. It also verifies emitted events instead of the core simulation result.

Replace this setup with the required game instance and assert the bomb-launch behavior through the simulation.

As per coding guidelines, tests “use a setup() helper from tests/util/Setup.ts” and must “exercise the core simulation directly — not mocks.”

…" (#5394)

## Summary

- The pr-gate linked-issue regex required `#` to immediately follow the
closing keyword, so PR bodies writing `Fixes (#5315)` parsed no linked
issue and the gate auto-closed otherwise approved work (bit PRs #5374
and #5375).
- Allow an optional parenthesis on either side of the reference:
`\s+\(?#(\d+)\)?\b`.
- Kept the trailing `\b` (unlike the raw suggestion in the discussion)
so `fixes #5315abc` still links nothing — regex backtracking off the
optional `\)?` makes this compatible with `Fixes (#5315)`.
- Added tests for `Fixes (#5315)`, multiple parenthesized references,
and lone-paren variants `fixes (#7` / `fixes #8)`.

## Test plan

- `npx vitest tests/PrGateRules.test.ts --run` — 40/40 pass (4 new
cases).
