Problem seen in live console: WebSocket handshake to /api/world/ws returns 404.

Acceptance:

  • browser connects to a real Hermes-facing endpoint
  • connection state visible in UI
  • logs/output prove successful handshake and message flow

Deep triage pass: this is one of the most concrete issues in the batch because it names a live broken contract: /api/world/ws returns 404. That means the frontend is advertising a world-state channel that does not exist.

The critical architectural question is whether the replacement endpoint is:

  • a direct Hermes stream,
  • an adapter sitting between Hermes/Evennia and the browser, or
  • a small Nexus-owned websocket that republishes validated state.

Whichever path is chosen, the acceptance criteria are correct: successful handshake, visible connection state, and real message flow logs. I would add one more requirement: the UI should clearly distinguish connecting, live, and stale/disconnected so operators do not confuse silence for correctness.

Recommendation: keep open and prioritize. This is a truth-path bug, not a cosmetic enhancement.

Whichever path is chosen, the acceptance criteria are correct: successful handshake, visible connection state, and real message flow logs. I would add one more requirement: the UI should clearly distinguish `connecting`, `live`, and `stale/disconnected` so operators do not confuse silence for correctness.
