Staff arm a packet capture on the dashboard; master passes MESSAGE_CAPTURE_CONTROL ARM to
every world, auth and chat and arms its own. Each server's PacketCapture tap (dServer receive,
and a send hook in RakPeer::Send so replica constructions are seen too) records into one
preallocated chunk per server and ships sealed chunks through master on the main loop when
capture_flush_bytes or capture_flush_interval_ms is reached; past capture_buffer_max_mb the
oldest chunks are dropped and the dashboard records a gap. Nothing is armed: one flag check.
- targets: an account (from its login; packets before the login are kept per connection
and added once auth or the world knows whose they are), a character (from when it is
picked), or everything; up to 8 at once (a bit each in the record mask)
- worlds and auth record their clients' packets and the master link messages of a captured
player (session keys by name, zone transfers by request, player added/removed, migration);
chat finds the player in each packet; master records server traffic for everything
- secrets are never recorded: structs that carry them (login request, login response user
key, world validation session key, session key messages between servers) are read,
blanked and written again before recording; auth keeps only the handshake and login
- PacketDecoder: a registry by service and message id names every packet and decodes the
registered structs; CaptureBundle is the file format (DLUBNDL1, metadata, records);
CaptureTools orders records on one timeline, pulls movement out, makes bundles portable
or anonymous and diffs replays
- the dashboard keeps packet captures in message_capture_sessions (capture_kind 1) and
their packets in a file under capture_dir, one write per batch; arming is audited
- MESSAGE_CAPTURE_CONTROL/DATA only gain appended enum values and trailing fields

The guild packets of the 1.10.64 client (docs/Guilds.md) as Serialize/Deserialize structs, laid out the way the client's
packet handlers read them: GUILD_CREATE_RESPONSE, GUILD_INVITE, GUILD_INVITE_INITIAL_RESPONSE, _FINAL_RESPONSE,
_CONFIRM, GUILD_ADD_PLAYER, GUILD_REMOVE_PLAYER, GUILD_LOGIN_LOGOUT and GUILD_DATA (ClientPackets), the world packet
TMP_GUILD_CREATE the create box sends, the chat packets the client sends through its world (GUILD_INVITE,
GUILD_INVITE_RESPONSE, GUILD_LEAVE, GUILD_GET_ALL), DLU's world <-> chat packets (GUILD_CREATE, GUILD_KICK,
GUILD_GET_STATUS as the chat server's guild update to a world, and GUILD_SET_RANK and GUILD_DISBAND appended to
MessageType::Chat after CREATE_TEAM) and the game message DisplayGuildCreateBox (626). Fixed-size names always keep a
NUL, since the client reads them as C strings. Enums eGuildCreateResponse, eGuildInviteResponse,
eGuildInviteFinalResponse, eGuildRank and eGuildLeaveReason. Nothing sends them yet.
Check: GuildPacketsTests compares every packet with the bytes at the client's offsets. Nothing to check in game.

TrafficStats keeps packets and bytes in and out per second and the busiest
packet and game message types. dServer counts at its send and receive calls
and adds RakNet's connection statistics (datagrams, resends, ping); the report
goes to master as SERVER_TRAFFIC (appended), which passes it to the dashboard.

Every MASTER service packet is now an LUBitStream struct (docs/PacketArchitecture.md,
PR 14) and the master server's switch is a dispatch map (PacketDispatcher), as are the
master handlers of the world, chat and dashboard servers.
- dNet/MasterPackets.h: RequestZoneTransfer, RequestZoneTransferResponse, ServerInfo,
RequestSessionKey, SetSessionKey, SessionKeyResponse, NewSessionAlert, PlayerAdded /
PlayerRemoved, CreatePrivateZone, RequestPrivateZone (passwords still cut to 50
characters when read), WorldReady, WorldReadyInfo (WORLD_READY to the dashboard),
PrepZone, Shutdown, ShutdownResponse, WorldShutDown (SHUTDOWN_RESPONSE to the
dashboard), ShutdownUniverse, AffirmTransferRequest/Response, RequestServerList,
ServerListResponse, DashboardShutdown, ConfigReload, InstanceShutdown. The Send*
functions are gone; MasterPackets::SendToMaster(msg) and SendTo(sysAddr, msg) send a
struct.
- The dashboard and instance migration structs (PlayerAction, DataChanged, Dashboard
messages, MessageCapture, InstanceMigration) are LUBitStreams of the MASTER service now
and moved to dNet/master/, included by MasterPackets.h. Their payloads are unchanged;
master forwards them by re-serializing the struct instead of copying raw bytes.
- InstanceManager, ZoneInstanceManager, MigrationCoordinator, dServer (server info, zone
transfer response), auth (SET_SESSION_KEY), the world (session keys, player added and
removed, world ready, shutdown response, affirmations, prep zone, shutdown universe) and
the dashboard (server list, instance shutdown, config reload, announcements, player
actions, message capture) send and read structs.
- The login stamps are a `stamps` field of RequestZoneTransfer and
RequestZoneTransferResponse (read leniently as before: a message without them reads as
empty); master adds its stamps in the REQUEST_ZONE_TRANSFER handler and when it answers,
as it did.
- InstanceManager::GetInstanceBySysAddr takes a const address.
Verified: tests/dGameTests/dNetTests/Legacy/MasterPacketsLegacy.h is a verbatim copy of
the old writers and readers; MasterPacketsTests requires identical bytes for a grid of
inputs, checks the old readers read what the structs write, round trips and truncation,
hand written golden packets, that zone transfers without stamps still read, that the dashboard/migration structs write what
"header + Serialize" wrote, and that the dispatcher drops truncated packets. No wire
bytes changed.

Every packet of the chat service is now an LUBitStream struct in dNet/ChatPackets.h
(docs/PacketArchitecture.md, PR 13), and nothing in the chat server or the chat side of
the world server reads or writes a packet by hand any more.
- World <-> chat: LoginSessionNotify, UnexpectedDisconnect, GMLevelUpdate, GMMute,
Announcement (GM announce), CreateTeam, TeamUpdate (TEAM_GET_STATUS to worlds),
AchievementNotify, ShowAllRequest, FindPlayerRequest.
- Client -> world -> chat (friends, ignore list, teams, general and private chat):
GetFriendsList, AddFriendRequest, AddFriendResponse, RemoveFriend, GetIgnoreList,
AddIgnore, RemoveIgnore, GeneralChatMessage, PrivateChatMessage, TeamInvite,
TeamInviteResponse, TeamLeave, TeamKick, TeamSetLeader, TeamSetLoot, TeamGetStatus.
The 77 bytes the handlers skipped are named fields now (the sender block the client
fills in); the 4 unused bytes after the player ID are kept as `unknown`.
- What the client receives. Chat service (ChatPackets::Client): GeneralChatMessage
(replaces SendChatMessage; SendSystemMessage stays as a helper built on it),
PrivateChatMessage. Client service (ClientPackets, as structs go in the file of the
ServiceType in their header): SendCannedText (replaces SendMessageFail), GetFriendsListResponse, AddFriendRequest,
AddFriendResponse, RemoveFriendResponse, UpdateFriendNotify, WhoResponse,
ShowAllResponse, Get/Add/RemoveIgnoreResponse, TeamInvite, TeamInviteInitialResponse,
and the team game messages chat writes (TeamInviteConfirm, TeamGetStatusResponse,
TeamSetLeader, TeamAddPlayer, TeamRemovePlayer, TeamSetOffWorldFlag) as TeamGameMsg
structs, since chat doesn't link dGame's NetGameMsg.
- WORLD_ROUTE_PACKET is ChatPackets::WorldRoutePacket (its own file, dNet/WorldRoutePacket.h,
since it carries packets of other services): the target and the inner packet.
ChatPacketHandler::SendRouted replaces the per-function route headers and
SendRoutedMsg.
Dispatch: dNet/PacketDispatcher.h is a dispatch map from packet ID to (struct, handler
function); packets that fail to Deserialize are logged and dropped. The chat server's
switch and the world's HandlePacketChat switch are now maps. The handlers take the
structs; their logic is unchanged. World code sends to chat with ChatServerLink::Send
(dGame) instead of writing to Game::chatServer by hand. eChatChannel,
eChatMessageResponseCode and eAddIgnoreResponse moved to dCommon/dEnums so the structs
can use them.
Verified: tests/dGameTests/dNetTests/Legacy/ChatPacketsLegacy.h is a verbatim copy of
the old senders and readers; ChatPacketsTests (25 tests) sends a grid of inputs through
both and requires identical bits, bytes and destination, checks the old readers read
what the structs write, round trips every struct, checks truncated packets are refused,
and has hand written golden packets for general chat, canned text, GM mute and a routed
team game message. Breaking one field width (UpdateFriendNotify) and the TeamAddPlayer
zone flag made the tests fail. No wire bytes changed.

WorldPackets now holds what a client sends a world server, one struct per
packet with Serialize/Deserialize: Validation, CharacterListRequest,
CharacterCreateRequest, CharacterLoginRequest, GameMessage,
CharacterDeleteRequest, CharacterRenameRequest, LevelLoadComplete,
PositionUpdate, MailPacket, RoutePacket, StringCheck, GeneralChatMessage,
HandleFunness, UIHelpTop5. WorldServer's switch became a dispatch map of
handlers (each overrides Handle in WorldServer.cpp, logic unchanged:
dashboard hooks, LoadPlayer, chat logging, migration checks, message
inspector capture all still run); a packet that does not deserialize is
logged and dropped. UserManager's create/delete/rename take the structs.
The answers are ClientPackets (the CLIENT service): LoadStaticZone,
CharacterListResponse, CharacterCreateResponse, CharacterRenameResponse,
DeleteCharacterResponse, TransferToWorld, ServerStates, CreateCharacter,
ChatModerationString, MakeGMResponse, HTTPMonitorInfoResponse and
DebugOutput, built at the call sites (world server, UserManager, slash
commands, dashboard actions, components, migration). The world -> chat
forward of a routed packet is ChatPackets::RoutedFromClient. All
WorldPackets::Send* functions, HTTPMonitorInfo and the ClientPackets parse
functions are gone. The architecture doc now states the file rule: a
packet lives in the file of the ServiceType in its header.
No wire change. Verified against frozen verbatim copies of the old code
(tests/dGameTests/dNetTests/Legacy/WorldPacketsLegacy.h): every response
is sent through the old function and the struct over grids of inputs
(all enum values, strings of every length class, IDs, >64 moderation
segments, big XML) and must match byte for byte; every request is read
by the old code and the struct and must give the same values; plus
golden bytes, round trips, truncation checks and a field width mutation
that made the tests fail. Only differences: malformed requests are
dropped instead of handled with partial values, and LevelLoadComplete now
reads the zone ID the client sends after it (lu_packets and captures show
the 1.10.64 client always sends it; DLU ignored it).

Adds CommonPackets (ServiceType::COMMON): ClientVersionConfirm (the
client's handshake, with the handler that logs it and answers),
ServerVersionConfirm, DisconnectNotify and GeneralNotify (layout from the
1.10.64 client's PacketHandler_MSG_SERVER_GENERAL_NOTIFY; DLU does not send
it yet). AuthPackets::LoginRequest reads the login and keeps the old login
logic in its Handle; ClientPackets::LoginResponse (with the Stamp list)
replaces the hand written response, and AuthPackets::SendLoginResponse
fills it from the settings as before. dServer::Disconnect writes a
DisconnectNotify. AuthServer's if-chain and WorldServer's COMMON case
become CommonPackets::Handle / AuthPackets::Handle, dispatch maps that
read the struct, drop and log it if it does not deserialize, then Handle.
HandleHandshake and SendHandshake are gone.
No wire change. Verified against a frozen verbatim copy of the old
functions (tests/dGameTests/dNetTests/Legacy): the old handshake and login
handlers and the new dispatchers are fed the same packets and must send
identical bytes to the same address (same RNG seed for the session key),
over grids of versions, service types, ports, response codes, error
messages, IPs and stamp lists; plus hand computed golden bytes, round
trips, truncation checks, and a deliberate field width mutation that made
the tests fail. The only behaviour difference: truncated handshake and
login packets are now dropped instead of handled with whatever was read.
