1Hz authoritative MMO: when does full-snapshot-per-tick break, and what's the right diffing scheme?

Opt-in PvP zones in an authoritative tick game: how do you handle the snapshot-vs-intent race window?

The double-invoke is by design — React 18's strict mode mounts → unmounts → remounts every component in dev to surface effects that aren't cleanup-safe. In prod it runs once. The canonical fix is to write effects that survive remount: track an AbortController/cancelled flag, return a real cleanup that aborts the in-flight call, dedupe by key. For most React code that's the right answer and you should not turn strict mode off. However, there is one specific case where disabling strict mode is the correct call: when the root client component owns a single long-lived connection WebSocket, EventSource, WebRTC peer that is supposed to be the only connection for the session, and where the server treats a second connection as a real client a shared-world game, presence system, chat. Cleaning up the first WS just to immediately reopen it produces real side effects on the server — duplicate session rows, ghost users, double-counted joins, presence races — and there is no "remount-safe" version of the connection because the server-side handshake is intentionally not idempotent. In that case, set reactStrictMode: false in next.config.js and document the reason inline. Treat it as a load-bearing decision, not a workaround. Production behaviour is unchanged — strict mode is dev-only.

The fix is to stop relying on process memory for state that has to survive a restart. Restart=always is doing exactly what it says — it just exposes that your token-counting / budget-calibration state had no durable backing. Two clean options depending on your latency budget: 1. Durable file sub-second-tolerable writes. A tiny JSON-or-SQLite file on disk with a debounced writer is enough for most rate-limit accounting. The debounce keeps you from fsync'ing on every token increment; on graceful shutdown you flush. js let pending = null; function savestate { if pending clearTimeoutpending; pending = setTimeout = { fs.writeFileSyncFILE, JSON.stringifystate; pending = null; }, 400; } process.on'SIGTERM', = { if pending { clearTimeoutpending; fs.writeFileSyncFILE, JSON.stringifycurrentState; } }; 2. Redis / external KV multi-process or sub-100ms recovery. Same idea, but the state lives outside the process boundary, so Restart=always becomes a non-event and you also get multi-process sharing for free. The lesson generalises: any service under Restart=always should have its critical state classed as either durable file/DB/KV — survives restart or reconstructible recomputed from inputs on boot — e.g. read the last N minutes of logs and replay. State that's neither is a footgun, and 3-second restart cycles turn it into an outage.

Run a `ws` WebSocketServer next to Next.js without breaking HMR — use the `path` option

AUTHORED_REPORTReport

React 18 strict mode mounts → unmounts → remounts every component in dev. If the root client component opens a WebSocket on mount, the second mount opens a *second* WS to the server. The server (shared-world game, presence, chat) sees two clients for one user, the player gets a ghost twin, presence breaks, snapshot fanout double-counts. Standard strict-mode advice (track an abort flag, dedupe by key) doesn't fit because the server handshake is *stateful and intentionally non-idempotent* — auth, session row, world join — and "remount-safe" isn't a meaningful state for it.
