docs: Clarify CSRF token handling for Hacktivity integration

User correctly noted that Hacktivity's application layout already includes
csrf_meta_tags, so we don't need to add them again.

## Changes:

### Section 9.3.1: Layout Strategy
- Split into Option A (Hacktivity layout - recommended) and Option B (standalone)
- **Option A (Recommended):** Read from existing meta tag
  - Uses Hacktivity's csrf_meta_tags (already present in layout)
  - No duplicate meta tags needed
  - Reads via: document.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]')?.content
- **Option B:** Standalone layout
  - For when engine needs separate layout
  - Must add <%= csrf_meta_tags %> to engine layout
  - Can use <%= form_authenticity_token %> directly

### Section 9.3.3: Token Reading Logic
- Updated config.js to try multiple sources:
  1. window.breakEscapeConfig.csrfToken (if explicitly set)
  2. meta[name="csrf-token"] tag (from Hacktivity layout)
- Better error messages showing all sources checked
- Logs which source provided the token

### Section 9.3.5: Issue #2 Solution
- Updated to reference the fallback logic in 9.3.3
- Added debugging console commands
- Shows how to check all meta tags

## Key Points:

-  Hacktivity layout csrf_meta_tags are reused (don't duplicate)
-  Fallback chain ensures token found from either source
-  Clear guidance for both integration scenarios
-  Better debugging when token is missing

This aligns with Rails best practices and Hacktivity's existing setup.

### 9.3 Setup CSRF Token Injection (Critical for Security)
**CRITICAL:** Rails requires CSRF tokens for all POST/PUT/DELETE requests. The token must be injected from the server-rendered view into JavaScript.
**CRITICAL:** Rails requires CSRF tokens for all POST/PUT/DELETE requests. The token must be accessible to JavaScript for API calls.
#### 9.3.1 Update Game Show View
**IMPORTANT:** If using Hacktivity's application layout, `<%= csrf_meta_tags %>` is already present! You only need to read the existing token.
**Edit the view that renders the game:**
#### 9.3.1 Determine Your Layout Strategy
```bash
vim app/views/break_escape/games/show.html.erb
```
**Option A: Using Hacktivity's Application Layout (Recommended)**
**Add JavaScript configuration block with CSRF token:**
If your view uses Hacktivity's layout:
```erb
<!-- app/views/break_escape/games/show.html.erb -->
<!-- Hacktivity's layout already includes <%= csrf_meta_tags %> -->
<div id="game-container"></div>
<!-- CRITICAL: Inject configuration before loading game -->
<%= javascript_tag nonce: true do %>
// BreakEscape Configuration
window.breakEscapeConfig = {
gameId: <%= @game.id %>,
apiBasePath: '<%= break_escape_path %>/games/<%= @game.id %>',
assetsPath: '/break_escape/assets',
// Read CSRF token from meta tag (already in layout)
csrfToken: document.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]')?.content,
missionName: '<%= j @game.mission.display_name %>',
startRoom: '<%= j @game.scenario_data["startRoom"] %>',
debug: <%= Rails.env.development? %>
};
console.log('✓ BreakEscape config loaded:', window.breakEscapeConfig);
<% end %>
<!-- Load Phaser -->
<script src="/break_escape/js/phaser.min.js"></script>
<!-- Load game (as ES6 module) -->
<script type="module" src="/break_escape/js/main.js"></script>
```
**Advantages:**
- ✅ Uses Hacktivity's existing CSRF setup
- ✅ Consistent with other Hacktivity pages
- ✅ Automatic CSRF token rotation handled by Hacktivity
- ✅ No duplicate meta tags
**Option B: Standalone Layout for Engine**
If you create a standalone layout for the engine:
```erb
<!-- app/views/layouts/break_escape/application.html.erb -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Break Escape - <%= @game.mission.display_name %></title>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
<title>Break Escape - <%= yield :title %></title>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %> <!-- REQUIRED: Add this -->
<%= csp_meta_tag %>
<!-- Game CSS -->
<%= stylesheet_link_tag '/break_escape/css/game.css' %>
<!-- CRITICAL: Inject configuration before loading game -->
<%= javascript_tag nonce: true do %>
// BreakEscape Configuration
window.breakEscapeConfig = {
gameId: <%= @game.id %>,
apiBasePath: '<%= break_escape_path %>/games/<%= @game.id %>',
assetsPath: '/break_escape/assets',
csrfToken: '<%= form_authenticity_token %>',
missionName: '<%= j @game.mission.display_name %>',
startRoom: '<%= j @game.scenario_data["startRoom"] %>',
debug: <%= Rails.env.development? %>
};
console.log('✓ BreakEscape config loaded:', window.breakEscapeConfig);
<% end %>
</head>
<body>
<div id="game-container"></div>
<!-- Load Phaser -->
<script src="/break_escape/js/phaser.min.js"></script>
<!-- Load game (as ES6 module) -->
<script type="module" src="/break_escape/js/main.js"></script>
<%= yield %>
</body>
</html>
```
**Key points:**
- `<%= csrf_meta_tags %>` - Required by Rails, adds meta tags
- `<%= form_authenticity_token %>` - Generates CSRF token for this session
- `nonce: true` - Required if using Content Security Policy
- Configuration loaded BEFORE game scripts
- Token stored in `window.breakEscapeConfig.csrfToken`
```erb
<!-- app/views/break_escape/games/show.html.erb -->
<% content_for :title, @game.mission.display_name %>
<div id="game-container"></div>
<%= javascript_tag nonce: true do %>
window.breakEscapeConfig = {
gameId: <%= @game.id %>,
apiBasePath: '<%= break_escape_path %>/games/<%= @game.id %>',
assetsPath: '/break_escape/assets',
csrfToken: '<%= form_authenticity_token %>', // Generate fresh token
missionName: '<%= j @game.mission.display_name %>',
startRoom: '<%= j @game.scenario_data["startRoom"] %>',
debug: <%= Rails.env.development? %>
};
<% end %>
<script src="/break_escape/js/phaser.min.js"></script>
<script type="module" src="/break_escape/js/main.js"></script>
```
**When to use:**
- ✅ Engine needs different layout than Hacktivity
- ✅ Full-screen game experience
- ✅ Standalone mode (engine runs independently)
#### 9.3.1a Verify CSRF Meta Tag Exists
**Check that the meta tag is in the rendered HTML:**
```bash
# Start Rails server
rails server
# Visit game page
# View page source (Ctrl+U or Cmd+Option+U)
```
**Look for this in <head>:**
```html
<meta name="csrf-token" content="AaBbCc123...long base64 string..." />
```
**If missing:**
- Check if using Hacktivity's layout
- If standalone layout, add `<%= csrf_meta_tags %>`
- Check `config/application.rb` - forgery protection should be enabled

# Implementation Plan Updates
## Overview
Based on the comprehensive codebase review, the implementation plans have been enhanced with critical details addressing the 3 high-priority gaps identified in the review.
**Date:** November 2025
**Status:** ✅ Complete
**Files Modified:**
- `03_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md` (Phase 3 enhanced)
- `03_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN_PART2.md` (Phase 9 enhanced)
---
## 1. Scenario Conversion to ERB (Phase 3)
### What Was Added
**Location:** `03_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md` Section 3.2
**Enhancement:** Complete automation script for converting all 26 scenario files to ERB structure.
### Details
**Main Scenarios (Production):**
1. `ceo_exfil.json``app/assets/scenarios/ceo_exfil/scenario.json.erb`
2. `cybok_heist.json``app/assets/scenarios/cybok_heist/scenario.json.erb`
3. `biometric_breach.json``app/assets/scenarios/biometric_breach/scenario.json.erb`
**Test/Demo Scenarios (23 files):**
- scenario1-4
- npc-hub-demo-ghost-protocol
- npc-patrol-lockpick
- test-multiroom-npc
- test-npc-face-player, patrol, personal-space, waypoints
- test-rfid, test-rfid-multiprotocol
- test_complex_multidirection, horizontal_layout, vertical_layout
- test_mixed_room_sizes, multiple_connections
- timed_messages_example
- title-screen-demo
- npc-sprite-test2
### Implementation Approach
```bash
# Complete bash script provided in plan
# Handles all 26 files automatically
./scripts/convert-scenarios.sh
```
**Key Features:**
- ✅ Just renames .json → .erb (no content changes initially)
- ✅ Preserves git history with `mv` commands
- ✅ Creates proper directory structure
- ✅ Handles missing files gracefully
- ✅ Provides summary and verification
- ✅ Manual alternative for 3 main scenarios
**ERB Randomization:**
- Files renamed to `.erb` but keep JSON content
- Actual ERB code (`<%= random_password %>`) added later in Phase 4
- Allows immediate testing without randomization
---
## 2. CSRF Token Handling (Phase 9.3)
### What Was Added
**Location:** `03_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN_PART2.md` Section 9.3 (NEW)
**Enhancement:** Complete CSRF token implementation for Rails security.
### Why This Is Critical
Rails requires CSRF tokens for all POST/PUT/DELETE requests. Without proper token injection:
- ❌ All unlock requests fail with 422 status
- ❌ State sync fails
- ❌ Inventory updates fail
- ❌ Game becomes unplayable
### Implementation Details
#### 9.3.1 Server-Side Token Injection
**File:** `app/views/break_escape/games/show.html.erb`
```erb
<%= javascript_tag nonce: true do %>
window.breakEscapeConfig = {
gameId: <%= @game.id %>,
apiBasePath: '<%= break_escape_path %>/games/<%= @game.id %>',
assetsPath: '/break_escape/assets',
csrfToken: '<%= form_authenticity_token %>', // 🔑 CRITICAL
missionName: '<%= j @game.mission.display_name %>',
startRoom: '<%= j @game.scenario_data["startRoom"] %>',
debug: <%= Rails.env.development? %>
};
<% end %>
```
**Key Points:**
- Token injected via `form_authenticity_token`
- Loaded BEFORE game scripts
- Available as `window.breakEscapeConfig.csrfToken`
#### 9.3.2 Client-Side Token Usage
**File:** `public/break_escape/js/api-client.js`
```javascript
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-CSRF-Token': CSRF_TOKEN // From config.js
}
```
#### 9.3.3 Error Handling
**File:** `public/break_escape/js/config.js`
```javascript
export const CSRF_TOKEN = window.breakEscapeConfig?.csrfToken;
if (!CSRF_TOKEN) {
console.error('❌ CSRF token not configured!');
console.error('All POST/PUT requests will fail');
}
// Fallback to meta tag
export const CSRF_TOKEN = window.breakEscapeConfig?.csrfToken
|| document.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]')?.content;
```
#### 9.3.4 Testing Procedures
Complete browser console tests provided:
- ✅ Verify token loaded
- ✅ Test GET (no CSRF needed)
- ❌ Test POST without CSRF (should fail 422)
- ✅ Test POST with CSRF (should work)
#### 9.3.5 Common Issues & Solutions
5 common CSRF problems documented with solutions:
1. "Can't verify CSRF token authenticity"
2. Token is null/undefined
3. Token changes between requests
4. Development vs production config
5. Missing meta tags
### Risk Mitigation
**Before:** 🔴 Critical risk - CSRF not documented
**After:** 🟢 Low risk - Complete implementation with error handling
---
## 3. Async Unlock Validation with Loading UI (Phase 9.5)
### What Was Added
**Location:** `03_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN_PART2.md` Section 9.5 (ENHANCED)
**Enhancement:** Complete async server validation with Phaser.js visual feedback.
### Why This Is Critical
Current implementation validates unlocks client-side (insecure). New implementation:
- ✅ Validates server-side (secure)
- ✅ Shows loading feedback (~100-300ms API call)
- ✅ Handles errors gracefully
- ✅ Maintains smooth UX
### Implementation Details
#### 9.5.1 Loading UI System
**NEW File:** `public/break_escape/js/utils/unlock-loading-ui.js`
**Features:**
- `showUnlockLoading(sprite)` - Blue pulsing tint effect
- `clearUnlockLoading(sprite, success)` - Green (success) or red (failure) flash
- `showLoadingSpinner(sprite)` - Alternative rotating spinner
- Phaser.js tweens for smooth animations
**Visual Feedback:**
```
User tries unlock
Throbbing blue tint starts (pulsing 0.7 ↔ 1.0 alpha)
Server validates (~100-300ms)
Success: Quick green flash → clear tint
Failure: Quick red flash → clear tint
```
#### 9.5.2 Server Validation Integration
**Modified:** `public/break_escape/js/systems/unlock-system.js`
**Key Changes:**
```javascript
// Before: Client-side validation
export function unlockTarget(lockable, type, layer) {
// Directly unlock without server check
unlockDoor(lockable);
}
// After: Server validation with loading UI
export async function unlockTarget(lockable, type, layer, attempt, method) {
// Show loading
showUnlockLoading(lockable);
try {
// Validate with server
const result = await ApiClient.unlock(type, targetId, attempt, method);
// Clear loading (success)
clearUnlockLoading(lockable, true);
if (result.success) {
// Perform client-side unlock
unlockDoor(lockable);
}
} catch (error) {
// Clear loading (failure)
clearUnlockLoading(lockable, false);
// Show error
window.gameAlert('Failed to validate unlock', 'error');
}
}
```
#### 9.5.3 Minigame Callback Updates
**All lock types updated to pass attempt and method:**
1. **PIN:** `(success, enteredPin) => unlockTarget(..., enteredPin, 'pin')`
2. **Password:** `(success, enteredPassword) => unlockTarget(..., enteredPassword, 'password')`
3. **Key:** `(lockable, type, layer, keyId) => unlockTarget(..., keyId, 'key')`
4. **Lockpick:** `unlockTarget(..., 'lockpick', 'lockpick')`
5. **Biometric:** `unlockTarget(..., requiredFingerprint, 'biometric')`
6. **Bluetooth:** `unlockTarget(..., requiredDevice, 'bluetooth')`
7. **RFID:** `(success, cardId) => unlockTarget(..., cardId, 'rfid')`
#### 9.5.4 Testing Fallback
**Development mode bypass:**
```javascript
// Disable server validation for testing
window.DISABLE_SERVER_VALIDATION = true;
// System falls back to client-side unlock
```
### User Experience Flow
**Before (Client-Side):**
```
User enters password → Instant unlock (no security)
```
**After (Server-Side with Loading UI):**
```
User enters password
Door starts pulsing blue (visual feedback)
Server validates (~200ms)
Door flashes green → Unlocks smoothly
```
**On Failure:**
```
User enters wrong password
Door starts pulsing blue
Server rejects (~200ms)
Door flashes red → Shows error message
```
### Risk Mitigation
**Before:** 🔴 Critical risk - Async validation not implemented
**After:** 🟢 Low risk - Complete implementation with graceful UX
