The join modal shows a spinner until its first lobby_info arrives. That message only came from the 1s broadcast tick (the immediate send in startLobbyInfoBroadcast fired just for the first client, when the interval wasn't running yet), so every join into an occupied lobby sat idle for up to a second after the server had already admitted it. Seat the client, then send it lobby_info straight away; the periodic broadcast is unchanged for everyone else. Same for reconnects. The wire transcript gains one lobby_info frame per scripted join — a deliberate wire change, nothing removed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A first join made two API round trips back to back: join_verify, then users/@me. Neither depends on the other, so start the account fetch before the verify and await it where it was awaited before. Re-admits are untouched — rejoinClient returns before the account is needed, so reconnects still make zero extra API calls. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The lobby card the player clicked already carries the game's settings and player count, but the join modal hid all of it behind a full-panel spinner until the server's lobby_info arrived. Render the settings and the card's player count at once and keep only the roster behind a small inline connecting indicator. A URL join has no card, so it keeps the full spinner.

WalkthroughThe join flow now shows lobby settings and a preview count while connecting. The server sends ChangesLobby admission flow
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR improves join latency and shows lobby details sooner, but rejected first joins can now trigger identity-service work before anti-bot verification, creating a bounded backend-capacity and request-amplification risk; this should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. A minor UI issue may also make the preview player count change when spectators are present. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Keep the preview count in the player-only domain.
When a lobby contains spectators, PublicGameInfo.numClients counts all active clients, while the settled branch excludes spectators. The count can therefore drop after lobby_info arrives. Use a player-only preview count, or label both states as connection counts.

🌐 Web query:
site:github.com/openfrontio "/users/@me" "rateLimit" OR "rate limit"
💡 Result:
The endpoint /users/@me is a specific API path used in the OpenFrontIO ecosystem to retrieve the current user's profile information, typically authenticated via a Bearer token [1][2][3]. There is no specific, dedicated rate limit applied exclusively to the /users/@me path itself. Instead, it is governed by the application's global API rate-limiting configuration. In the codebase, this is managed by express-rate-limit, which is configured to restrict traffic to 20 requests per IP address per second (windowMs: 1000) [4][5]. Technical notes regarding its implementation: - Fetching: The client-side implementation uses a Promise-based cache (e.g., userMe) to prevent redundant network requests during the same session [2][3][6]. - Resilience: Recent updates have introduced timeout handling (e.g., a 3000ms AbortSignal timeout) for server-side /users/@me lookups to prevent service hangs when the authentication service is slow [7]. - Cache Busting: In scenarios involving state mutations, developers use mechanisms like invalidateUserMe to clear cached responses for this endpoint [8].

Do not start getUserMe before join admission.
userMePending starts getUserMe before planJoinVerify, so rejected joins can consume the account API’s shared per-IP capacity. The worker’s HTTP limiter does not cover WebSocket admission, and getUserMe does not forward the client IP. Start the fetch after approved verification, or add an admission limit and cancellation.

Summary
关注-up to #5155 (which took the Turnstile widget off the join path). Tracing what remained of a 3–5s first join showed the time is a chain of sequential steps, two of them avoidable, plus a UI that hides everything it already knows.
lobby_infoon admission (server). The join modal's spinner only clears on the firstlobby_info, and that message only came from the 1s broadcast tick (startLobbyInfoBroadcastsent one immediately just for the first client, when the interval wasn't running yet). Every join into an occupied lobby therefore idled up to a second after the server had admitted it. A seated client (and a reconnect) now getslobby_infostraight away; the periodic broadcast is unchanged for everyone else.users/@mein parallel withjoin_verify(server). A first join made two API round trips back to back; neither depends on the other. The account fetch now starts before the verify and is awaited where it was before.
