fix(client): detach InputHandler listeners on destroy and destroy it when the game stops (OPE-411)

[Celant]

What

InputHandler.destroy() did not detach anything it had attached, and nothing ever called it.

• Every listener in initializePointerAndKeyboardEvents() (window pointerup/pointercancel/pointermove/mousemove/blur/keydown/keyup, canvas pointerdown/wheel/contextmenu/the four Safari gesture events) was registered with an anonymous callback, so destroy() had no handle to remove it with. this.keybinds was never cleared either, the UnitSelectionEvent subscription on the EventBus was never released, and a pending 800ms long-press timer was never cancelled.
• ClientGameRunner never called destroy() at all. It constructs one InputHandler per game and only ever called initialize(). This PR wires this.input.destroy() into ClientGameRunner.stop().

The EventBus is created once per page (Main.ts:247) and handed to every joinLobby(), so none of this dies with the game. A handler from a finished game kept translating keys into events that the next game receives, and kept the finished game's GameView, uiState and canvas overlay reachable for the rest of the session. Main.ts stops the current game and joins a new one in place ("joining lobby, stopping existing game"), so every in-page game transition stacked another live handler on the window and another subscription on the bus.

How

• One AbortController per initialize(); its signal is passed to all 14 DOM registrations, and destroy() aborts it. The four { passive: false } registrations become { passive: false, signal }.
• The UnitSelectionEvent callback moves into a field (onUnitSelection) so destroy() can eventBus.off() it; initialize() does off() before on() so a second call cannot double the subscription.
• destroy() also clears this.keybinds, cancels the pending long-press timer (the AbortController covers listeners, not timers) and resets longPressActive/suppressNextTap, and nulls moveInterval after clearInterval. The pre-existing globalThis.removeEventListener for USER_SETTINGS_CHANGED_EVENT:KEYBINDS_KEY and the keybindAndEvent reset are unchanged.
• ClientGameRunner.stop() calls this.input.destroy() alongside the other always-run idempotent disposals, before disposeRenderer() removes the input overlay. stop() can be re-entered (the worker-error path stops the game and the player can still leave afterwards), so destroy() is idempotent and tested as such.
• initializePointerAndKeyboardEvents() aborts any previous controller and clears any previous interval and long-press timer at the top, so a re-initialize cannot orphan the first set. Production never initializes twice on one handler — each start message builds a fresh runner and a fresh handler, and reconnects go through transport.rejoinGame() — so that part is belt-and-braces.

Game end does not stop the runner (only leaving, joining another game, a worker error or page teardown do), so a player who wins keeps working input while spectating.

Ticket: OPE-411

How tested

New InputHandler teardown (OPE-411) block in tests/InputHandler.test.ts: alive-control tests for Space and Escape, then after destroy() a window keydown and a canvas contextmenu emit nothing; keybinds/keybindAndEvent are cleared (asserted non-empty first); the EventBus subscription is released (emitting UnitSelectionEvent after destroy() leaves the cursor and unitSelectionActive untouched); a pending long-press timer is cancelled on both destroy() and re-initialize; the pan/zoom interval is cleared; destroy() twice is safe; destroying one handler leaves a second one working; and a second initialize() leaves exactly one interval and one bus subscription.

The window probes use Escape, not Space: Escape emits CloseViewEvent unconditionally, whereas Space goes through this.keybinds, which destroy() also clears — a Space-only probe would pass even with the abort reverted.

Every guard is mutation-checked: dropping { signal } from the keydown registration fails 3 tests; removing the re-initialize guard fails 1; removing the destroy() long-press clear fails 1; removing the destroy() off() fails 2; removing the off()-before-on() fails 1.

tests/client/ClientGameRunnerActions.test.ts gets a stop() (OPE-411) block asserting stop() calls input.destroy() and tolerates a second stop().

npx prettier --check ., npx tsc --noEmit and npm run lint are clean. Targeted files: 102 passed. Full npm test: 5578 passed, 5 skipped, 0 failed tests.

Reviewer note: read src/client/InputHandler.ts with git diff -w — it is 267/197 raw but far smaller ignoring whitespace. Adding a third argument stops prettier hugging the inline callbacks for mousemove, blur, keydown and keyup, so those bodies get re-indented, and the UnitSelectionEvent callback is dedented by one level when it moves out of initialize().

Walkthrough

The change makes InputHandler listeners and timers disposable, resets pointer state during initialization and teardown, and destroys the handler when ClientGameRunner.stop() runs. Tests cover listener cleanup, state reset, repeated initialization, and runner shutdown.

Changes

Input handler teardown

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Listener lifecycle and teardown src/client/InputHandler.ts, tests/InputHandler.test.ts	InputHandler uses an AbortController for registered listeners. Re-initialization and destruction clear listeners, timers, intervals, subscriptions, and pointer state. Blur cancellation now occurs only for active selections. Tests cover these behaviors.
Runner shutdown integration src/client/ClientGameRunner.ts, tests/client/ClientGameRunnerActions.test.ts, tests/client/ClientGameRunnerMessages.test.ts	ClientGameRunner.stop() destroys the input handler before renderer disposal. Runner fixtures and tests cover the added dependency and repeated stops.

🔍 Stand-in review (coordinator-B; Claude review bot unavailable)

Head: dd208c6
Verdict: Fix is sound and the wiring into stop() is safe on every path traced, but one in-scope leak survives because the PR's "the bus dies with the game" premise is false: the EventBus is page-global. Findings: 0 blocking, 0 high, 1 medium, 2 low.

src/client/InputHandler.ts

[MEDIUM] InputHandler.ts:287 — eventBus.on(UnitSelectionEvent, …) is never unsubscribed, and the bus outlives the game. CONFIRMED.
Main.ts:247 creates one private eventBus = new EventBus() for the page; Main.ts:1258 passes it to joinLobby, which passes it to createClientGame → new InputHandler(..., eventBus) (ClientGameRunner.ts:853). Nothing clears it between games. So the justification for leaving this subscription alone ("the bus dies with the game") is wrong, and the stop() comment ("events on a dead bus") is inaccurate: the stale handler was firing into the next game's live bus.
Scenario: player joins lobby B from game A in place (Main.ts:1232 → lobbyHandle.stop(true)). In B, WarshipSelectionController.ts:206 emits UnitSelectionEvent; A's dead handler's closure runs, mutates A's unitSelectionActive/multiSelectionActive, writes cursor on A's removed overlay. Functionally harmless (DOM listeners are gone), but it pins A's InputHandler → GameView/uiState/overlay for the page lifetime, once per transition. EventBus already has off().
Fix: keep the callback in a field, this.eventBus.off(UnitSelectionEvent, this.onUnitSelection) in destroy(), and correct the two "dead bus" comments. (ClientGameRunner.start() leaks its own eventBus.on(...) the same way: pre-existing, isActive-guarded, out of scope, follow-up ticket.)

[LOW] InputHandler.ts:271-305 — the re-initialize guard is incomplete. CONFIRMED. initialize() re-adds the UnitSelectionEvent subscription on every call; only the DOM listeners and interval are guarded. Same fix, applied at the top of initialize(). Production never re-initializes, so no player impact.

tests/client/ClientGameRunnerActions.test.ts

[LOW] :240 — "destroys the input handler so its listeners stop firing" asserts only that a vi.fn() was called. Legitimate wiring test, but the name overclaims; rename to "calls input.destroy()".

Checked and found sound

• stop() ordering/re-entry: destroy() runs before disposeRenderer() and before the isActive guard, so it runs on the worker-error stop() and the later leave/beforeunload stop. Idempotent, tested.
• Game end keeps input: win/lose never calls stop(); post-game spectating unaffected. Nothing reads the handler or its keybinds after stop().
• Abort coverage: all 14 registrations carry signal; { passive: false } preserved on wheel/gesture listeners. moveInterval and longPressTimer are the only timers; no rAF, observers, or late promises.
• Tests: the Escape probe would catch a reverted signal; long-press and interval tests are non-trivial. Three touched test files run green.
• No CLAUDE.md issues, no new imports, no cycles.

🔍 Stand-in review (coordinator-B; Claude review bot unavailable)

Head: 7bf069f
Verdict: No high-confidence issues found. All three prior findings are fixed, each guarded by a test that fails on revert, and the fix commit introduces no regression on the alive, re-initialize, re-entrant-stop or worker-error paths. Findings: 0 blocking, 0 high, 0 medium, 0 low.

Prior findings (head dd208c6)

• [MEDIUM] UnitSelectionEvent subscription never released — FIXED, CONFIRMED. InputHandler.ts:298 holds the callback as a per-instance arrow field; destroy() (:1291) calls eventBus.off(UnitSelectionEvent, this.onUnitSelection). EventBus.off (src/core/EventBus.ts:33) removes by identity, so it cannot remove another subscriber and no-ops if never registered (covers stop() before start()). Test "releases its EventBus subscription on destroy()" is discriminating. Both "dead bus" comments corrected to "page-global".
• [LOW] re-initialize guard incomplete — FIXED, CONFIRMED. initialize() does off() then on() (:292-293); test asserts one callback after two initialize()s, reverting the off() gives two.
• [LOW] overclaiming test name — FIXED. Now "calls input.destroy()".

Regression checks on the fix commit

• off()-before-on() is identity-scoped to this instance's field; the globalThis keybinds listener is the same reference each call, so addEventListener dedupes it. Alive path unchanged.
• stop() ordering (ClientGameRunner.ts:1130): destroy() runs before disposeRenderer() and before the isActive early return, so the worker-error stop() (:967) and the later leave/beforeunload stop() both reach it; the second call is a no-op. Tested.
• Game end still never calls stop(); post-game spectating input intact.
• Long-press re-init test is discriminating: the timer callback has no pointers.size guard, so re-init clearing pointers would not mask a reverted guard.

Still-uncovered surface

None found. moveInterval and longPressTimer are the only timers; no rAF, observers, or promises in InputHandler. All 14 DOM registrations carry signal; { passive: false } retained on wheel/gesture. Single bus subscription.

CLAUDE.md / hygiene

No new imports, no cycles, no ids or secrets logged. Ran the three touched test files at this head: 86 tests passing.

Reset pointerDown in both lifecycle reset paths.

After pointerdown, re-initialization clears pointers but leaves pointerDown true. The next pointermove adds one pointer and emits DragEvent instead of MouseOverEvent. Reset pointerDown in initialization and destroy(). Add a regression test for this sequence.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: Approve — the teardown fix itself is solid and well-tested, but the new re-initialize/destroy reset logic omits part of the drag state it's meant to clear.

Findings by severity: Medium: 1 · High: 0 · Low: 0

src/client/InputHandler.ts

Medium — initializePointerAndKeyboardEvents() re-init guard (~line 492-503) and destroy() (~line 1280-1307): neither resets pointerDown (or selectionBoxActive/multiSelectionActive).

What's wrong: the new reset block added at the top of initializePointerAndKeyboardEvents() clears moveInterval, longPressTimer, longPressActive, and suppressNextTap — but not pointerDown. The same subset (minus the interval/listener abort) is reset in the new destroy(). Meanwhile the pre-existing, unmodified this.pointers.clear() still runs unconditionally later in the same function. That means a re-initialize (or a destroy followed by a re-initialize) that happens while a pointer is physically down leaves pointerDown === true with an empty pointers map. onPointerMove (untouched by this PR) begins with if (!this.pointerDown) return;, then does this.pointers.set(...), sees size === 1, and treats the very next ordinary mouse/pointer move as the start of a brand-new single-pointer drag off a stale origin — the same failure mode CodeRabbit's automated review already flagged on this PR ("Re-initializing input after a pointer press can turn ordinary cursor movement into an unintended game drag"). The existing blur handler a few lines up already does the full, correct reset for this exact state (pointerDown = false; pointers.clear(); ...; selectionBoxActive = false; multiSelectionActive = false;) — the new guard and destroy() each copied only part of that list.

Why it's worth fixing even though it's currently dormant: per the PR description, initialize() is only ever called once per InputHandler instance in production today, and destroyed handlers aren't reused, so this gap isn't reachable from any current call site. But the stated purpose of this guard is to make re-initialize/destroy safe as a real invariant (the PR calls it "belt-and-braces"), and as written it only partially delivers that — it's a latent trap for the next caller that reuses an instance.

Suggested fix: alongside the existing this.longPressActive = false; this.suppressNextTap = false; resets in both the initializePointerAndKeyboardEvents() guard and destroy(), add this.pointerDown = false; (and ideally this.selectionBoxActive = false; this.multiSelectionActive = false; to match what blur already does).

---

No other high-confidence bugs found, and no CLAUDE.md violations — no src/core changes, no new user-facing strings, and the AbortController plumbing, the off()-before-on() guard for onUnitSelection, and the idempotency of destroy() (safe to call twice, doesn't throw when never-initialized) all check out. (One candidate finding — an unguarded this.input.destroy() in ClientGameRunner.stop() — was ruled out: input is a required, non-nullable constructor parameter, unlike the neighboring optional graphicsListenerAbort/disposeRenderer fields, so no null-check is needed there.)

Reviewed the diff (src/client/InputHandler.ts, src/client/ClientGameRunner.ts, and the accompanying tests) for CLAUDE.md compliance and for bugs/logic/security issues introduced by the change.

• CLAUDE.md compliance: No violations. No src/core files are touched (so the core-tests-required rule doesn't apply), no new user-visible strings are introduced (so no translateText()/en.json gap), and all changes stay within the client layer.
• Correctness: AbortController coverage is complete across all listener registrations, destroy() is idempotent (safe on double-call and on the worker-error re-entry path in ClientGameRunner.stop()), the onUnitSelection field correctly replaces the old inline EventBus subscription (avoiding double-subscribe via off() before on()), and timer/interval cleanup is properly guarded.

No high-confidence bugs or CLAUDE.md violations were identified.
