The dashboard's API covers what it offered (online players, teams, announcements) with API keys, so the
chat server no longer runs a web server; its settings show as unused on the settings page.

The chat server records the guild of guild chat, the team of team chat and what
the chat filter thinks of whispers, team and guild chat (delivered either way).
World servers mark filtered zone chat. Team IDs start from the chat server's
start time so a restart doesn't hand out the same team ID again.

Every server logs BuildInfo's build string as its version; the About page
also shows the build kind and commit, and log bundles name the build.

Connects GuildManager to the chat server (ChatGuilds): the client's GUILD_INVITE, GUILD_INVITE_RESPONSE, GUILD_LEAVE
and GUILD_GET_ALL (routed through its world), the worlds' GUILD_CREATE, GUILD_KICK, GUILD_SET_RANK and GUILD_DISBAND,
guild chat (GENERAL_CHAT_MESSAGE in channel 10, sent to the online members as channel 10 private chat, which the
client's guild tab shows, and logged as "guild"), guildmates told when a member logs in, out or changes worlds, and a
member's pending invite dropped when they log off. Client packets go through the member's world as WorldRoutePacket;
GUILD_GET_STATUS goes to the world itself.
Guild names: the chat filter's deny list refuses a name (dChatFilter::HasDenyList, since without a deny list the deny
check refuses everything); a name the allow list doesn't cover waits for moderation, as pet names do.
The dashboard's new player action GUILD_CHANGED goes from master to the chat server only (answered 1 when chat is
connected), which catches online members up. chatconfig.ini: guild_max_members (100) and guild_invite_timeout (600
seconds).
Check in game: nothing yet on its own (the world side makes guilds reachable). Server log: the chat server starts and
logs no unhandled guild packets.

The chat server is the guild authority (docs/Guilds.md). GuildManager keeps guilds in the database (IGuilds) and tells
clients through their worlds, with every outside dependency behind hooks so the rules are tested without a server:
- Create: name rules (3-30 of letters, digits, space ' - ., no space at either end or twice), the chat filter's deny
list refuses a name (BAD_NAME), names not on the allow list make the guild but wait for moderation (other players see
no guild name until then), a taken name (case ignored) is EXISTS, someone in a guild can't make one.
- Invite / answer: leaders and officers invite; the client's answers for not online, already in a guild, invite pending
and could not invite; one invite per player, answerable for 10 minutes and gone when the player logs off; a full guild
(guild_max_members) takes nobody. The new member is a recruit; the inviter hears the answer and gets the list again,
the other members get GUILD_ADD_PLAYER.
- Leave, and DLU's kick, rank and disband (the client has no controls for them): the leader kicks anyone, officers kick
veterans and recruits; a leader who leaves hands the guild to the highest-ranked, longest-serving member, and the last
one out ends it. Rank changes send everyone the list again (the client's GuildSetPlayerRank does nothing).
- GUILD_DATA for GUILD_GET_ALL, login/logout/world-change updates to guildmates, a guild that lost its leader (character
deleted) gets one again, and GuildChanged catches online players up with what the dashboard did.
- Every change is a guild_events row. Each character's world gets GUILD_GET_STATUS with the guild and the name others
may see.
Not connected to the chat server's packets yet.
Check: GuildManagerTests (18 tests) run every rule against an in-memory IGuilds. Nothing to check in game yet.

Before private (7), team (8) and local team (10) chat the client asks
the chat server for the minimum chat mode of the channel
(LWOChatComponent::RequestMinimumChatMode; it answers every other
channel itself) and hands the answer to its chat UI. DLU never
answered. Live answered chat mode 0 with the requested channel (74 of
74 team answers in the captures: 53 05 00 39 00 00 00 00 00 08).
The chat server now answers with the lowest chat mode among who reads
the channel (the sender and their online teammates, or the sender and
the recipient), using the GM level as the chat mode as DLU does
everywhere else; the private answer also echoes the recipient's name
and GM level (0 when offline). Inferred: the minimum for GMs (no live
GM sample) and the answer when the recipient is offline.
Check: type in team chat and whisper another player: the messages send
as before and the chat box shows no error; do the same with a GM in
the team.

With new binaries in place, master moves everything onto them while the
server keeps running (the dashboard's Live update, /liveupdate or SIGUSR2 to
master):
- database migrations of the new build first; a failure stops there
- UGC finishes the jobs it is running (queued rows stay pending), auth
restarts, chat hands its teams to master for the next chat server; master
starts the new processes and retries ones that don't come back
- once the new chat server is up (CHAT_SERVER_READY) every world connects at
once and sends its players again (LoginSessionNotify resync, no login logged)
- every world instance is replaced with an instance migration: public worlds
and private ones (same password) at once, properties after the old instance
saved and froze the property (MIGRATE_PREPARE: no building, claiming or
saving there any more), activity zones and character select once their
players left or after a wait; empty instances just stop, zones in
prestart_worlds get a new one first
- the dashboard restarts last and picks the status up again
Players land where they stood (position carried in CarriedPlayerState, also on
properties and Moon Base). Draining instances get no new players
(InstanceMigration::AcceptsNewPlayers) and show as "Moving players" in the
world list. The order lives in LiveUpdateMachine.h without master state and is
unit tested; master's glue is LiveUpdateCoordinator. Master itself is not
replaced. Message IDs are appended only.

Mail sent to someone who is not in the sender's world (system mail with
no address, and all player-to-player mail) now reaches them: the world
sends a MailNotify (Chat::MAIL, unused until now) to the chat server,
which passes it to the world the receiver is in, and that world sends
the client its unread count with a NewMail NotificationResponse.
Receivers in the same world are told directly. Player-to-player mail
did not notify the receiver at all before.
Replaces the TODO in Mail::SendMail.

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.

The NexusDashboard-parity dashboard (dDashboardServer) and everything built on it on the experimental branch:
accounts, characters, properties and moderation tools, permissions shared with in-game slash commands, economy
reports, World 3D and property 3D views with client scenery, scheduled events (features, vanity changes, live
events, announcements, restarts), vanity files and events, the CDClient browser, the message inspector with saved
captures, chat filter tools, community challenges, live ops, the AI moderator helper, and the server-side changes
they need.

re-do team leave logic to send more accurate messages
Players are still able to leave the team with the same results as before, however now the correct messages are sent to team chats (no fixes for local teams).
* chore: move team logic to separate container
Makes it easier to follow team logic when you're not bouncing between 3 classes in 3 files. Consolidates all team logic to 1 namespace in TeamContainer. No logic changes were done, only renaming and fixing errors from the moving. TeamData should be replaced with unique_ptrs at some point so the Shutdown method can be removed from TeamContainer.

Players are still able to leave the team with the same results as before, however now the correct messages are sent to team chats (no fixes for local teams).
* feat: broadcast achievements in chat as in live
Tested that everyone on the receiving players' friends list receives the announcement as it went out in live. Only works for achievements that have an entry in the MissionEmail table. This may have been sent out to everyone in your zone as well however we don't really have a way to verify this aside from questioning why the client checks for the receiver being in the ignore list. This is the only hint to me that this may have been broadcast to more than friends but again, no proof.
