Problem

If the end-of-game panel was removed from the page while it was still fetching the game's XP, and then shown again later, its XP section stayed hidden and never tried to fetch again.

Removing the panel cancels the fetch. The cancelled fetch came back looking like "no XP to show", so the panel hid the section. It also kept a "fetch in progress" flag set, so when the panel came back it thought a fetch was still running and skipped starting a new one.

Fix

In WinModal.updateXp, a cancelled fetch is no longer treated as an answer. When the fetch was cancelled because the panel was removed, the section is left as it was and the "fetch in progress" flag is cleared. The panel also remembers that the fetch was cut short, and when it is put back on the page (connectedCallback) it starts the fetch again. That retry is needed because the end-of-game update that starts the fetch only arrives once, so nothing else would start it. If the panel is put back before the cancelled fetch has finished winding down (for example, moved in the page), the fetch restarts as soon as it has.

Testing

  • Two new tests in tests/client/graphics/layers/WinModalXp.test.ts, both going through the real remove/re-attach lifecycle without calling updateXp directly:
    • remove the modal while the XP fetch is pending, check the section isn't switched to hidden and nothing more is fetched, then put it back and check it fetches again and shows the result;
    • remove and put it back straight away, before the cancelled fetch winds down, and check it fetches again and shows the result.
      Both fail without the fix.
  • npm run typecheck and npm run lint pass.
  • Full npx vitest --run: 7954 passed, 1 skipped. The only failures are the 2 in tests/UpdateRegister.test.ts, which also fail on Windows on main.

Screenshots

None: this only fixes internal state in a rare case, so nothing looks different in normal use.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Detaching the WinModal aborts its XP poll, which resolved null and set the
section to hidden while xpPolling stayed true, so a re-attached modal never
polled again. Treat an abort as no verdict: leave the section as it was and
clear xpPolling.

Walkthrough

The modal records when detaching interrupts an XP poll. If the modal is connected, polling restarts after the aborted request settles. If it is detached, polling restarts on reattachment. Tests cover reattachment after the poll settles and within the same task.

Layer / File(s) Summary

src/client/hud/layers/WinModal.ts, tests/client/graphics/layers/WinModalXp.test.ts
The modal tracks aborted polls and restarts polling when connected or reattached. Tests verify that detaching preserves the calculating state and that a fresh poll can display the XP result after reattachment.

Confirming CodeRabbit's finding — I traced it and it is correct. I had reviewed this PR and missed it.

updateXp(true) is called from one place:

const updates = this.game.updatesSinceLastTick();
const winUpdates = updates?.[GameUpdateType.Win] ?? [];
if (winUpdates.length > 0) void this.updateXp(true);

GameUpdateType.Win arrives on a single tick, so winUpdates.length > 0 is true exactly once. Once that tick has passed nothing calls updateXp(true) again — and connectedCallback doesn't either.

So the fix changes the symptom rather than removing it: xpPolling = false plus leaving xpView alone means a re-attached modal could poll, but nothing makes it. The player gets stuck on "calculating" instead of stuck on "hidden". That is a real improvement — it is no longer a false verdict of "no XP" — but the XP still never arrives for that modal instance.

The test passes because it calls the private updateXp(true) directly, which is the gap CodeRabbit names: it exercises a path production never takes. Worth fixing the test alongside the trigger, or it will keep hiding this.

Two shapes for the trigger, both small:

  1. Retry from connectedCallback when the game has ended and xpView.kind === "calculating" (or xpPolling is false with no result yet). Self-contained, and it is the lifecycle event that actually corresponds to "shown again".
  2. Remember the win update — set a gameEnded flag when the Win update arrives and drive updateXp off that rather than off updatesSinceLastTick(), so any later tick can retry. Slightly larger, but it also covers the case where the modal is attached but the poll failed for another reason.

I would lean to (1) for this PR since it is the narrower change, with the test driving the reattach through connectedCallback rather than calling the method.

For the record on the original bug: the abort local capture and not writing xpView on the aborted path are both right, and worth keeping exactly as they are — if a second updateXp had replaced this.xpAbort, reading it after the await would interrogate the wrong controller.

Needs a re-sync, and worth sequencing against #5759.

#5734 and #5763 merged, so this branch conflicts with main on src/client/hud/layers/WinModal.ts (one file).

The sequencing point: #5759 also conflicts on WinModal.ts, and its fix for a separate finding replaced invalidateUserMe() there with a new fetchUserMeUncached() — so the two PRs now both rewrite the same region of updateXp. Whichever lands second will conflict with the first, and resolving it carelessly could drop either this PR's abort guard or #5759's uncached-fetch change.

Both are needed and they are independent fixes, so it is just an ordering question — but it is worth deciding which goes first rather than discovering it in a second three-way.

The outstanding finding here is still the missing re-attach trigger (updateXp(true) only ever fires from the one-shot GameUpdateType.Win tick), so this PR needs that regardless.

WinModal.ts: kept the poll's AbortController in a local and the early
return when it was aborted mid-poll, on top of main's updateXp, which now
also preloads the Legend ceremony; an aborted poll returns before that.

Re-synced with main (9f21b6a). updateXp now also preloads the Legend ceremony on main; the aborted-poll check sits right after pollGameXp, before that preload and before xpView is touched. The test still fails without the check.

Exercise the real re-attach path, not private updateXp(true).

The test calls the private method directly. This hides the missing production trigger for a retry after re-attach. After the retry fix, change the test to rely on appendChild (or tick()) so it covers the real path.

The Win update that starts the end-of-game poll is delivered once, so a
poll aborted by a detach never ran again. Remember the abort and restart
the poll from connectedCallback, or right away when the modal was already
re-attached while the aborted poll wound down. The tests now go through
the lifecycle instead of calling updateXp directly.

@Celant on sequencing against #5759: suggest this one lands first. It's two files and independent; #5759 already carries a main merge and is the bigger diff. When this merges I'll merge main into #5759 straight away and resolve updateXp by hand, keeping both: this PR's aborted-poll check (xpPolling = false, xpView untouched) plus the re-attach retry, and #5759's fetchUserMeUncached() death-time read and reconciliation. The re-attach retry (07a51fd) is the trigger you and the bot asked for; the earlier comments predate it.

🤖 Claude Code Review

Verdict: No issues found. Findings: 0 critical, 0 major, 0 minor.

Checked for bugs and CLAUDE.md compliance. Traced the abort paths in WinModal.updateXp against pollGameXp (it returns null once the signal is aborted, so the new abort.signal.aborted check catches the cancelled poll before xpView is set to hidden). Three cases behave correctly: detach then re-attach (xpPollAborted → connectedCallback retry), an in-place move (the aborted poll sees isConnected and restarts), and detach, re-attach, detach again before the poll winds down (the flag is set and the next attach retries).
