Arena v2: speech-driven beefs, the community board, and the ears

OP OpenVibers committed 30 Aug 2026 · 25d8419f5d · 17 files, +2730 −3072

No more click-to-battle. Beefs open when a streamer says another fighter's name
on mic while talking shit (listener over the live transcript, every 15 s); the
target goes on the clock (15 min live / 24 h offline), answers flip the clock,
silence forfeits, 24 h hard end on points. Rematches, upsets, streaks, rivalry
receipts, AI/template headlines, announcer lines, chat hype + side picks (clout).

The board: topics, debates, phrase challenges and bounties from chat (!topic,
!bounty), the page, and the pulse — the AI reads global chat, transcripts, the AI
timeline and memories every 30 min. Talking on a topic clears AI-cut angles →
XP → Trash Level (+ mouth bonus on POWER). Heat sorts the board.

Speech policy: nothing is censored for vocabulary; only threats, sexual content
about minors and doxxing are dropped (behaviour filter + judge flag).

Removes trash-talk.js / talk-session.js, main event, battles and votes; rewrites
routes, chat commands (!topic !bounty !hype !side !beef !board !arena), the job
(listener + clocks + pulse), the frontend (/arena, /arena/beef/:id,
/arena/topic/:id, /arena/live/:user, profile) and docs; new tests for beefs,
board, listener tick, chat and the public API.

--# Arena — streamer vs streamer
++# Arena — beefs, the board, and the ears
  
--The **Arena** tab (`/arena`) turns the analytics and AI data OpenVibe.Live already keeps about every streamer into a fighting-game roster: a ranked leaderboard, a character-select profile per streamer, live head-to-head matchups, and daily battles that the crowd finishes with a vote.
++The **Arena** tab (`/arena`) is where the platform's culture gets weaponised into entertainment. Nobody clicks "fight". Everything runs off what streamers *say* on mic (the continuous audio transcription) and what viewers *do* in chat:
  
--Everything is opt-in on the AI side — with AI off the tab still works from stats alone (templated lore and commentary, avatar cards instead of portraits).
++- **Beefs** — a streamer says another fighter's name while talking shit → a beef opens by itself, the target goes on the clock, silence is a forfeit.
++- **The board** — topics, debates, phrase challenges and bounties that come from chat (`!topic`, `!bounty`) and from the **pulse** (the AI reads global chat, transcripts and the AI timeline every 30 min and writes what the community is on about). Streamers click a topic, talk on it, clear its angles → XP → **Trash Level**.
++- **Fighters** — the roster is every streamer active in the last 45 days, rated on 7 stats (HYPE, GRIND, CHAT, LOYALTY, CLUTCH, VIBE, **MIC**) as percentiles across the roster, plus an AI persona and portrait. Recent Trash Level XP and beef wins add a *mouth bonus* (≤ +12) to POWER.
  
--## What each streamer gets
++With AI off everything still works: template headlines, fallback angles, keyword judges.
  
--| Piece | Source | Cost |
--|---|---|---|
--| **Ratings** — HYPE, GRIND, CHAT, LOYALTY, CLUTCH, VIBE, **MIC** (40–99) and overall **POWER** | `streams` + `stream_analytics` (last 90 days), `follows`, `transactions` (tips). **MIC** comes from the continuous audio transcription (`stream_timeline_events`): share of stream time spent talking, words per minute, hype words per hour, laughs per hour (sound events). Each rating is the streamer's *percentile* on that metric across the active roster (streamed in the last 45 days), so a 99 means "best on the site", never an absolute number. Streamers without transcript data tie at the MIC floor. | none |
--| **Quotes** — "things they actually said", each with a ▶ that jumps to the VOD at that second, plus a walkout line, mic style and a one-line voice verdict | Transcript lines (25–220 chars, last 90 days) pre-scored for hype/punctuation, then the AI picks the most quotable and harmless ones. Heuristic pick when AI is off. Cached 24 h. Needs ≥ 20 lines. | ~1 LLM call / streamer / day |
--| **Persona** — fighter name, title, class, element, signature move, special, weakness, taunt, lore, catchphrase, entrance music, a quip per stat | AI (`summary` role) from the streamer's AI overview, stream memories, chat-AI notes, recent VOD titles/overviews and the numbers. Cached 24 h. | ~1 LLM call / streamer / day |
--| **Portrait** — stylised character-select art | AI image model (OpenAI-compatible `/images/generations`). The prompt is built from the persona, category, profile colour and a *scene* description of the latest thumbnail (setting, objects, mood — the vision model is told never to describe faces or identity). It is deliberately **not a likeness** of the person. Cached 7 days. | 1 image / streamer / week, only when enabled |
--| **Record** — W–L | `arena_battles` | none |
++## Speech policy
  
--## Battles
++The platform does not censor language. Offensive, provocative, taboo words — slurs included — are allowed, are never filtered, and are never a reason for the judge to score low. The only lines that don't count (`server/arena/arena-service.js` `isBannedText`, plus the judge's `flagged`) are **behaviour**: direct threats of violence (`kys`, "I'll kill you"), sexual content about minors, and doxxing (addresses, phone numbers). Those lines are dropped from quotes, feeds and scoring; nothing else is.
  
--`/arena/battle/<a>/<b>` — the same pair on the same day always gets the same five rounds (Hype Check, Chat War, Endurance, Clutch Time, **Mic Drop**), simulated from the ratings with a seeded random so the underdog sometimes lands an upset. The **crowd vote** is the fifth round: one vote per user (per IP when anonymous), changeable until midnight UTC, and it breaks 2–2 ties (Power breaks a tie with no votes). The announcer commentary is AI (`chat` role, cached per battle; it gets both walkout lines) with a templated fallback. Every round line expands to show the ratings and rolls behind it; **Tale of the tape** compares the raw numbers; the all-time head-to-head record is shown above the commentary.
++## Beefs (`server/arena/beef.js`)
  
--**Main event** — one featured battle per day, seeded from the top 8 of the ladder, pinned to the top of `/arena` with its own vote buttons.
++| Rule | Value |
++|---|---|
++| Opens when | the listener judges ≥ 20 words in the 45 s after a fighter's name was said as *aimed at them* (roast, callout, disrespect, brag over them) |
++| Clock | the other side must answer on their own stream within **15 min if live**, **24 h if offline** (an offline clock is tightened to 15 min the moment they go live) |
++| Answer | any judged hit from the side on the clock; every hit flips the clock to the other side |
++| Forfeit | clock runs out → the silent side loses |
++| Hard end | 24 h after opening → higher **total** wins (`total = Σ hit quality (0–10, judged) + crowd hype (max 10)`), equal = draw |
++| Upset | winner ranked ≥ 4 places below the loser (+20 XP) |
++| Rematch | same pair again → flagged, with the rivalry's record and **receipts** (best lines from earlier beefs) |
++| XP | +5 open · +quality per hit (×2 while a bounty is on the target) · +40 win |
++| Crowd | `!hype` / Hype button: one per person per side · `!side <name>`: pick who wins → **clout** when right |
  
--Live streamers are paired by neighbouring Power on the leaderboard ("Live battles"), with their live thumbnails, refreshed every 30 s.
++Headlines (open + result) are AI-written (`chat` role) with templates as fallback; the announcer's one-liner per hit comes from the judge. Streaks, upsets and the head-to-head history are shown on every beef card.
  
--## API
++## The board (`server/arena/board.js`)
  
--| Method | Path | Notes |
++| Kind | Comes from | Resolves |
  |---|---|---|
--| GET | `/api/arena/fighters` | leaderboard |
--| GET | `/api/arena/fighters/:username` | full card incl. `voice`, `quotes`, `recent_battles`, `rivalry`; generates a stale persona/quotes synchronously and kicks off a portrait in the background (`image_pending`) |
--| GET | `/api/arena/fighters/:username/stat/:stat` | drill-down: per-stream series (last 14 streams), rank on that stat, top 3 of the ladder |
--| GET | `/api/arena/main-event` | today's featured battle |
--| POST | `/api/arena/fighters/:username/refresh` | admin — regenerate persona (+ portrait unless `{ "image": false }`) |
--| GET | `/api/arena/battle/:a/:b` | today's battle (created on first view); `?generate=0` skips AI |
--| POST | `/api/arena/battle/:a/:b/vote` | `{ "side": "a" \| "b" }` |
--| GET | `/api/arena/live` | live matchups |
--| GET | `/api/arena/status` | roster size, AI / image-generation state, counts |
--
--## Settings (site settings, admin → Settings)
--
--| Key | Default | Effect |
--|---|---|---|
--| `arena_enabled` | `true` | `false` hides the API (404) — the nav link should be removed too |
--| `ai_image_enabled` | `false` | allow portrait generation (needs AI enabled + an OpenAI-shaped provider) |
--| `ai_image_model` | `gpt-image-1` | image model; `dall-e-*` models are handled too |
--| `ai_image_quality` | `low` | passed to `gpt-image-*` |
--| `ai_image_cost_usd` | `0.011` | per-image cost recorded into `ai_usage` so the AI budget stays honest |
--| `arena_vote_salt` | `JWT_SECRET` | salt for anonymous voter hashing |
--
--Portraits are written to `data/arena/` (override with `ARENA_IMAGE_PATH`) and served from `/data/arena/`.
++| **topic** | chat (`!topic`), the page, the pulse | archived after 36 h idle; streamers clear its 3 AI-cut **angles** (brag / roast / bit) by talking; all 3 → *conquered* |
++| **debate** (A vs B) | the pulse (arguments exploding in chat / transcripts) | after 24 h: `talk×2 + chat picks` per side; MVP +30 XP; right picks earn clout |
++| **phrase** ("say X on stream") | the pulse (memes going round) | 6 h; no model needed — 15 XP first time it comes out of your mouth, 5 after |
++| **bounty** (on a fighter) | chat (`!bounty <user>`), the page, the pulse | 6 h; every beef hit on the target pays double; top collector +40 XP |
  
--## Interaction
++**Heat** = judged hits×3 + hype + side picks + fighters talking×4 in the last hour; ≥ 12 is **HOT** and the board sorts by it. The **pulse** (`refreshPulse`, every 30 min, `summary` role) reads: the global chat AI summary, `chat_timeline_events`, recent chat, last-hour transcripts, stream memories, streamer overviews, VOD overviews, open beefs and the ladder — and posts up to 6 new typed events with tabloid headlines plus a one-line "pulse" sentence shown at the top of `/arena`. Templates seed the board when AI is off.
  
--- Leaderboard rows expand in place (radar, quips, signature move, fight/profile buttons); every stat on a profile opens a sparkline of the last 14 streams with the roster's top 3; the portrait opens a lightbox that explains how it was painted (and shows the prompt).
--- 🔊 buttons read taunts, quotes and the announcer's call aloud with the browser's own speech synthesis (no server cost); ▶ on a quote jumps to the VOD at that moment so you hear the real thing.
--- Live matchups show the **hot mic** — the last line the transcription heard on each live stream.
++**Trash Level** = 1 + XP/50. XP: judged topic chunk (quality×0.8) · angle cleared +25 · topic conquered +60 · chat hype +2 · beef (above). The Trash Level ladder and the viewer **clout** ladder (right side picks, accuracy, streak) sit on `/arena`.
  
++## The ears (`server/arena/listener.js`)
  
--## Trash Talk (`/arena/talk`)
++Every 15 s, for every roster stream that is live **and** has a transcript line in the last 30 min:
  
--The part streamers and viewers play themselves.
++1. New `stream_timeline_events` speech lines are read. Every line is checked against open phrase challenges.
++2. A fighter's name (username, display name, fighter name; `@name`; underscores/dots spoken as spaces; longest match first, never yourself) opens a **mention buffer**; lines in the following 45 s join it. At ≥ 20 words the **beef judge** runs (`aimed_at_target`, `quality`, `best_line` verbatim, `about`, `announcer`, `flagged`) → `beef.recordHit`.
++3. Other lines pool for the **topic judge** against the streamer's active board topic (≥ 20 words, ≥ 30 s between calls): `angle_idx`, `quality`, `progress_gain` (0–60), `best_line`, `about`.
++4. One judge call per stream per tick; keyword heuristics when AI is off.
  
--- **Topic** — every 6 h the Arena posts a topic (AI-written from the main event / top of the ladder; templated when AI is off), e.g. *"Explain why your chat is the smartest chat on this site."*
--- **Entering** — a streamer on the roster enters once per topic, either from the **live mic** (press *I'm about to cook*, say it on stream, *Drop the mic* — the entry is what the transcription heard in that window, linked to the VOD second) or by **typing** (≤ 280 chars). Live mic needs the stream to be live with the timeline transcription running.
--- **Judge** — the AI scores **Spice, Wit, On-topic, Delivery** (0–10 each) with a verdict, a judge's note and a stamp (COOKED ≥ 42 · SOLID ≥ 30 · MID ≥ 18 · FLOP). Slurs/hate/threats are caught by the hard filter before the model, and the model can flag cruelty: a flagged entry scores 0 and its text is hidden from everyone but the author. Heuristic scoring when AI is off.
--- **Crowd** — viewers add the fifth score: `!hype` in the streamer's chat or the Hype button, one per person, `Crowd = min(10, hypers / 3)`, open for 24 h.
--- **Power** — total (/50) × 12 → a Trash Talk bonus on POWER (max +12), decaying linearly over 7 days; shown on the profile and included in the leaderboard order.
--- **Hall of Trash** — the ten best lines of the last 30 days.
++`/arena/live/<username>` shows exactly what the ears hear for a fighter: hot mic lines, the last judgements, active topic progress, open beefs and any bounty on them (auto-refreshes; a level-up flashes).
  
++## Pages
  
--### Live sessions (`/arena/talk/<username>`)
++`/arena` — pulse · on the mic now · open + settled beefs · the board (start a topic, pick debate sides, hype, "Talk on this") · Trash Level ladder · clout ladder · power ladder (rows expand) · rules.
++`/arena/beef/<id>` — tale of the tape, tug-of-war, live clock, ringside feed (every judged hit with ▶ to the VOD second and 🔊), receipts from earlier beefs, hype/side buttons.
++`/arena/topic/<id>` — angles, who's talking and their per-angle progress, best lines (▶), debate sides, bounty target, join/leave.
++`/arena/<username>` — stats drill-down, voice + quotes, Trash Level card, rivalries with receipts, beef history.
  
--The continuous version: a streamer who is live with the timeline transcription running presses **Start live session** on `/arena/talk`. From then on (`server/arena/talk-session.js`, ticker every 15 s):
++## Chat commands (`server/arena/arena-chat.js`)
  
--- New transcript lines are buffered against the **current topic**; once ≥ 25 new words have arrived and ≥ 30 s passed since the last call, the judge scores the chunk: *is this trash talk on the topic?*, Spice/Wit/On-topic/Delivery, a `progress_gain` (0–60 — how much of the topic that chunk covered), the best verbatim line, and a ≤ 10-word "what they talked about" tag.
--- **Progress** fills the topic bar; at 100 the topic is **cleared** → it becomes a regular Trash Talk entry (POWER bonus, Hall of Trash) and the **next topic is generated**, shaped by what was already cleared. Talk enough → the topic changes. Streamers can skip a topic or end the session.
--- **XP / Trash Level**: each judged chunk adds XP = quality × (trash talk ? 1 : 0.15); a level every 40 XP. Viewers add +2 XP and +4 % progress with `!hype` (one per person per topic).
--- The public console shows the live topic + bar, the latest judgement ("that was trash talk" / "not trash talk yet"), the best line so far (▶ VOD), the **hot mic** feed, "what they talked about" tags, topics cleared/skipped, and a level-up flash. Live sessions are listed on `/arena/talk` under "Talking trash right now".
--- Guard rails: one live session per streamer; ends when the stream ends, after 20 idle minutes, at 3 h, or at 300 judge calls; the slur filter voids chunks before the model sees them; lines shown on the console are filtered too.

--- Persona and commentary prompts forbid mocking appearance, body, voice, disability, age, ethnicity, gender, religion, health or money; everything is framed as Arena lore, PG-13.
--- Portraits never use the streamer's face: only the persona and an identity-free scene description feed the image model.
--- The background job (`server/arena/arena-job.js`) refreshes at most 6 personas and 2 portraits per 20-minute tick, top of the leaderboard first, and stops when the AI budget is exhausted.
--- All AI text is rendered escaped; nothing from a model is inserted as HTML.

Silence is a forfeit. Best mouth after 24 h wins. Beat someone ranked 4+ spots above you and it's an <b>upset</b>.</li>
++                <li><b>The board.</b> Topics, debates, phrase challenges and bounties come from chat (<code>!topic</code>, <code>!bounty</code>) and from the community pulse — the AI reads global chat, transcripts and the AI timeline every 30 min. Click a topic, talk on it, clear its angles → XP → Trash Level.</li>
++                <li><b>Chat.</b> <code>!hype</code> boosts your streamer · <code>!side &lt;name&gt;</code> picks a side (clout if you're right) · <code>!topic &lt;text&gt;</code> · <code>!bounty &lt;user&gt;</code> · <code>!beef</code> · <code>!board</code> · <code>!arena</code>.</li>
++                <li><b>Language.</b> Nothing gets censored for being offensive. The only lines that don't count: real threats, anything sexual about minors, and doxxing.</li>

++ * The Arena turns the analytics + AI data the site already collects about each streamer
++ * into a fighting-game roster. Everything competitive is driven by what streamers SAY on
++ * stream and what chat does — see listener.js (the ears), beef.js (streamer vs streamer)
++ * and board.js (topics, angles, Trash Levels). This module owns the roster:
   *
   *   stats      → seven 40–99 ratings (HYPE, GRIND, CHAT, LOYALTY, CLUTCH, VIBE, MIC)
-- *                computed as percentiles across the active roster, plus an overall POWER.
-- *                Deterministic and free — no AI involved. MIC comes from the continuous
-- *                audio transcription (stream_timeline_events): how much they talk, how
-- *                hyped they sound, how often the room laughs.
-- *   persona    → AI "character select" bio (fighter name, class, signature move, taunt,
-- *                lore …) written from the streamer's AI overview, stream memories, chat-AI
-- *                notes, VOD overviews and the numbers. Cached 24 h per streamer.
-- *   quotes     → AI-picked "things they actually said" from the transcripts, each linked
-- *                to the VOD at that second so people can go hear it. Cached 24 h.
-- *   image      → optional AI character portrait. Deliberately NOT a likeness: the image
-- *                model gets a description of the persona, category, colours and the
-- *                *scene* of the latest thumbnail (setting/objects/mood — never faces or
-- *                identity), and draws a stylised fighting-game character. Gated by the
-- *                `ai_image_enabled` setting, the shared AI budget, and a 7-day cache.
-- *   battles    → a seeded simulation per matchup per day (same pair, same day → same
-- *                rounds) with AI hype-caster commentary, plus a crowd vote that counts
-- *                as the final round.
++ *                computed as percentiles across the active roster, plus an overall POWER
++ *                that also carries the Trash Talk bonus (recent XP + beef wins).
++ *   persona    → AI "character select" bio, cached 24 h.
++ *   quotes     → AI-picked "things they actually said" from the transcripts, VOD-linked.
++ *   image      → optional AI character portrait (never a likeness — persona + an

++ * OpenVibe.Live — Arena Beefs (speech-driven streamer vs streamer)
++ *
++ * Nobody clicks "battle". The listener (listener.js) hears a live fighter talking trash
++ * about ANOTHER fighter by name; the judge confirms it was aimed at them; a beef opens:
++ *
++ *   score     → every judged hit aimed at the other side adds its quality (0–10) to
++ *               your side of the tug-of-war. Chat adds crowd points with `!hype` in
++ *               your chat (one per person per beef, max CROWD_MAX).
++ *   clock     → after every hit the OTHER side is on the clock: RESPONSE_LIVE_MIN
++ *               minutes if they are live, RESPONSE_OFFLINE_HOURS hours if not (the
++ *               clock tightens to the live window the moment they go live). Miss the
++ *               clock and you ducked — forfeit.
++ *   end       → a beef also hard-ends MAX_BEEF_HOURS after it opened: higher score
++ *               wins, equal is a draw. Records (W–L) come from here.

++ *             ("defend your schedule", "roast the rival's setup"…). The listener judges
++ *             their live speech against the angles; each cleared angle gives XP, clearing

++ *   level   → Trash Level is persistent per streamer (XP_PER_LEVEL per level) and feeds

++ * OpenVibe.Live — Arena Listener (the ears)
++ *
++ * Every TICK_MS, for every LIVE fighter whose stream is being transcribed, read the new
++ * speech lines and route them:
++ *
++ *   mentions → a line that names another fighter (username, display name, fighter name,
++ *              "@name") starts/extends a MENTION BUFFER for that target; the next few
++ *              lines without a name stay in it (people keep ranting after the name drop).
++ *              Once the buffer has ≥ JUDGE_MIN_WORDS and ≥ JUDGE_MIN_INTERVAL_MS passed,
++ *              the beef judge decides whether it was trash talk AIMED AT that fighter.
++ *              Yes → beef.recordHit() (opens the beef, scores it, starts the other side's
++ *              clock). See beef.js.
++ *   topic    → everything else goes to the streamer's ACTIVE BOARD TOPIC (if they picked
++ *              one): the topic judge says which angle (if any) the chunk addressed and how
++ *              well → board.applyTopicJudgement() (progress, XP, levels).
++ *
++ * Bounded: at most one judge call per stream per JUDGE_MIN_INTERVAL_MS; nothing happens
++ * for streams nobody is talking on; the slur filter voids chunks before any model call.
++ * State lives in memory (offsets are re-seeded from "now" on restart, so a restart never
++ * replays old speech).

--/**
-- * OpenVibe.Live — Arena Trash Talk SESSIONS (live, continuous, transcription-driven)
-- *
-- * A streamer who is live with the timeline transcription running starts a session. From
-- * then on, every TICK_MS the session reads the new speech lines off the transcript,
-- * buffers them against the CURRENT TOPIC, and — once enough new words have arrived —
-- * asks the judge whether that chunk was trash talk on the topic and how good it was.
-- *
-- *   progress  → each judged chunk adds `progress_gain` (0–60) to the topic; at 100 the
-- *               topic is CLEARED: it becomes a regular Trash Talk entry (so it counts for
-- *               the POWER bonus and the Hall of Trash) and the NEXT topic is generated,
-- *               shaped by what they have already cleared. Talk enough → the topic changes.
-- *   xp/level  → every judged chunk adds XP (quality × trash-talkiness); levels every
-- *               XP_PER_LEVEL. Viewers add XP + progress with `!hype` (one per person per
-- *               topic).
-- *   about     → each chunk also yields a ≤ 10-word "what they talked about" tag, so the
-- *               page shows what kind of trash was talked during the session.
-- *
-- * Everything is visible live at /arena/talk/<username> (public) and polled every few
-- * seconds; the streamer sees the same console with start / skip / stop controls.
-- * Sessions end when the stream ends, after IDLE_END_MIN minutes without speech, or at
-- * MAX_SESSION_HOURS. AI use is bounded: one judge call per ≥ JUDGE_MIN_INTERVAL_MS and
-- * ≥ JUDGE_MIN_WORDS new words, a few hundred per session at most.

--/**
-- * OpenVibe.Live — Arena Trash Talk
-- *
-- * The part of the Arena streamers and viewers play themselves:
-- *
-- *   topic   → every TOPIC_SLOT_HOURS the Arena posts a topic ("tonight's beef"), AI-written
-- *             from what is going on (main event, top of the ladder), with a templated
-- *             fallback. Seeded per slot so every server/restart agrees on it.
-- *   entry   → a streamer on the roster enters once per topic, either from the LIVE MIC
-- *             (we read what they said on stream from the transcription timeline between
-- *             "start" and "drop the mic") or by typing it.
-- *   judge   → the AI scores Spice / Wit / On-topic / Delivery (0–10 each) with a verdict,
-- *             a note and a stamp; slurs / harassment are zeroed and hidden (hard filter
-- *             before the model, plus the model's own `flagged`). Heuristic when AI is off.
-- *   crowd   → viewers add the fifth score: `!hype` in that streamer's chat (or the Hype
-- *             button) — one per person, Crowd = min(10, uniques / 3).
-- *   power   → an entry's total (/50) becomes a Trash Talk bonus on POWER (up to
-- *             TALK_BONUS_MAX), decaying linearly over TALK_BONUS_DAYS.

-# Arena — streamer vs streamer

+# Arena — beefs, the board, and the ears

-The **Arena** tab (`/arena`) turns the analytics and AI data OpenVibe.Live already keeps about every streamer into a fighting-game roster: a ranked leaderboard, a character-select profile per streamer, live head-to-head matchups, and daily battles that the crowd finishes with a vote.

+The **Arena** tab (`/arena`) is where the platform's culture gets weaponised into entertainment. Nobody clicks "fight". Everything runs off what streamers *say* on mic (the continuous audio transcription) and what viewers *do* in chat:

-Everything is opt-in on the AI side — with AI off the tab still works from stats alone (templated lore and commentary, avatar cards instead of portraits).

+- **Beefs** — a streamer says another fighter's name while talking shit → a beef opens by itself, the target goes on the clock, silence is a forfeit.

+- **The board** — topics, debates, phrase challenges and bounties that come from chat (`!topic`, `!bounty`) and from the **pulse** (the AI reads global chat, transcripts and the AI timeline every 30 min and writes what the community is on about). Streamers click a topic, talk on it, clear its angles → XP → **Trash Level**.

+- **Fighters** — the roster is every streamer active in the last 45 days, rated on 7 stats (HYPE, GRIND, CHAT, LOYALTY, CLUTCH, VIBE, **MIC**) as percentiles across the roster, plus an AI persona and portrait. Recent Trash Level XP and beef wins add a *mouth bonus* (≤ +12) to POWER.

-## What each streamer gets

+With AI off everything still works: template headlines, fallback angles, keyword judges.

-| Piece | Source | Cost |

-|---|---|---|

-| **Ratings** — HYPE, GRIND, CHAT, LOYALTY, CLUTCH, VIBE, **MIC** (40–99) and overall **POWER** | `streams` + `stream_analytics` (last 90 days), `follows`, `transactions` (tips). **MIC** comes from the continuous audio transcription (`stream_timeline_events`): share of stream time spent talking, words per minute, hype words per hour, laughs per hour (sound events). Each rating is the streamer's *percentile* on that metric across the active roster (streamed in the last 45 days), so a 99 means "best on the site", never an absolute number. Streamers without transcript data tie at the MIC floor. | none |

-| **Quotes** — "things they actually said", each with a ▶ that jumps to the VOD at that second, plus a walkout line, mic style and a one-line voice verdict | Transcript lines (25–220 chars, last 90 days) pre-scored for hype/punctuation, then the AI picks the most quotable and harmless ones. Heuristic pick when AI is off. Cached 24 h. Needs ≥ 20 lines. | ~1 LLM call / streamer / day |

-| **Persona** — fighter name, title, class, element, signature move, special, weakness, taunt, lore, catchphrase, entrance music, a quip per stat | AI (`summary` role) from the streamer's AI overview, stream memories, chat-AI notes, recent VOD titles/overviews and the numbers. Cached 24 h. | ~1 LLM call / streamer / day |

-| **Portrait** — stylised character-select art | AI image model (OpenAI-compatible `/images/generations`). The prompt is built from the persona, category, profile colour and a *scene* description of the latest thumbnail (setting, objects, mood — the vision model is told never to describe faces or identity). It is deliberately **not a likeness** of the person. Cached 7 days. | 1 image / streamer / week, only when enabled |

-| **Record** — W–L | `arena_battles` | none |

+## Speech policy

-## Battles

+The platform does not censor language. Offensive, provocative, taboo words — slurs included — are allowed, are never filtered, and are never a reason for the judge to score low. The only lines that don't count (`server/arena/arena-service.js` `isBannedText`, plus the judge's `flagged`) are **behaviour**: direct threats of violence (`kys`, "I'll kill you"), sexual content about minors, and doxxing (addresses, phone numbers). Those lines are dropped from quotes, feeds and scoring; nothing else is.

-`/arena/battle/<a>/<b>` — the same pair on the same day always gets the same five rounds (Hype Check, Chat War, Endurance, Clutch Time, **Mic Drop**), simulated from the ratings with a seeded random so the underdog sometimes lands an upset. The **crowd vote** is the fifth round: one vote per user (per IP when anonymous), changeable until midnight UTC, and it breaks 2–2 ties (Power breaks a tie with no votes). The announcer commentary is AI (`chat` role, cached per battle; it gets both walkout lines) with a templated fallback. Every round line expands to show the ratings and rolls behind it; **Tale of the tape** compares the raw numbers; the all-time head-to-head record is shown above the commentary.

+## Beefs (`server/arena/beef.js`)

-**Main event** — one featured battle per day, seeded from the top 8 of the ladder, pinned to the top of `/arena` with its own vote buttons.

+| Rule | Value |

+|---|---|

+| Opens when | the listener judges ≥ 20 words in the 45 s after a fighter's name was said as *aimed at them* (roast, callout, disrespect, brag over them) |

+| Clock | the other side must answer on their own stream within **15 min if live**, **24 h if offline** (an offline clock is tightened to 15 min the moment they go live) |

+| Answer | any judged hit from the side on the clock; every hit flips the clock to the other side |

+| Forfeit | clock runs out → the silent side loses |

+| Hard end | 24 h after opening → higher **total** wins (`total = Σ hit quality (0–10, judged) + crowd hype (max 10)`), equal = draw |

+| Upset | winner ranked ≥ 4 places below the loser (+20 XP) |

+| Rematch | same pair again → flagged, with the rivalry's record and **receipts** (best lines from earlier beefs) |

+| XP | +5 open · +quality per hit (×2 while a bounty is on the target) · +40 win |

+| Crowd | `!hype` / Hype button: one per person per side · `!side <name>`: pick who wins → **clout** when right |

-Live streamers are paired by neighbouring Power on the leaderboard ("Live battles"), with their live thumbnails, refreshed every 30 s.

+Headlines (open + result) are AI-written (`chat` role) with templates as fallback; the announcer's one-liner per hit comes from the judge. Streaks, upsets and the head-to-head history are shown on every beef card.

-## API

+## The board (`server/arena/board.js`)

-| Method | Path | Notes |

+| Kind | Comes from | Resolves |

|---|---|---|

-| GET | `/api/arena/fighters` | leaderboard |

-| GET | `/api/arena/fighters/:username` | full card incl. `voice`, `quotes`, `recent_battles`, `rivalry`; generates a stale persona/quotes synchronously and kicks off a portrait in the background (`image_pending`) |

-| GET | `/api/arena/fighters/:username/stat/:stat` | drill-down: per-stream series (last 14 streams), rank on that stat, top 3 of the ladder |

-| GET | `/api/arena/main-event` | today's featured battle |

-| POST | `/api/arena/fighters/:username/refresh` | admin — regenerate persona (+ portrait unless `{ "image": false }`) |

-| GET | `/api/arena/battle/:a/:b` | today's battle (created on first view); `?generate=0` skips AI |

-| POST | `/api/arena/battle/:a/:b/vote` | `{ "side": "a" \| "b" }` |

-| GET | `/api/arena/live` | live matchups |

-| GET | `/api/arena/status` | roster size, AI / image-generation state, counts |

-## Settings (site settings, admin → Settings)

-| Key | Default | Effect |

-|---|---|---|

-| `arena_enabled` | `true` | `false` hides the API (404) — the nav link should be removed too |

-| `ai_image_enabled` | `false` | allow portrait generation (needs AI enabled + an OpenAI-shaped provider) |

-| `ai_image_model` | `gpt-image-1` | image model; `dall-e-*` models are handled too |

-| `ai_image_quality` | `low` | passed to `gpt-image-*` |

-| `ai_image_cost_usd` | `0.011` | per-image cost recorded into `ai_usage` so the AI budget stays honest |

-Portraits are written to `data/arena/` (override with `ARENA_IMAGE_PATH`) and served from `/data/arena/`.

+| **topic** | chat (`!topic`), the page, the pulse | archived after 36 h idle; streamers clear its 3 AI-cut **angles** (brag / roast / bit) by talking; all 3 → *conquered* |

+| **debate** (A vs B) | the pulse (arguments exploding in chat / transcripts) | after 24 h: `talk×2 + chat picks` per side; MVP +30 XP; right picks earn clout |

+| **phrase** ("say X on stream") | the pulse (memes going round) | 6 h; no model needed — 15 XP first time it comes out of your mouth, 5 after |

+| **bounty** (on a fighter) | chat (`!bounty <user>`), the page, the pulse | 6 h; every beef hit on the target pays double; top collector +40 XP |

-## Interaction

+**Heat** = judged hits×3 + hype + side picks + fighters talking×4 in the last hour; ≥ 12 is **HOT** and the board sorts by it. The **pulse** (`refreshPulse`, every 30 min, `summary` role) reads: the global chat AI summary, `chat_timeline_events`, recent chat, last-hour transcripts, stream memories, streamer overviews, VOD overviews, open beefs and the ladder — and posts up to 6 new typed events with tabloid headlines plus a one-line "pulse" sentence shown at the top of `/arena`. Templates seed the board when AI is off.

-- Leaderboard rows expand in place (radar, quips, signature move, fight/profile buttons); every stat on a profile opens a sparkline of the last 14 streams with the roster's top 3; the portrait opens a lightbox that explains how it was painted (and shows the prompt).

-- 🔊 buttons read taunts, quotes and the announcer's call aloud with the browser's own speech synthesis (no server cost); ▶ on a quote jumps to the VOD at that moment so you hear the real thing.

-- Live matchups show the **hot mic** — the last line the transcription heard on each live stream.

+**Trash Level** = 1 + XP/50. XP: judged topic chunk (quality×0.8) · angle cleared +25 · topic conquered +60 · chat hype +2 · beef (above). The Trash Level ladder and the viewer **clout** ladder (right side picks, accuracy, streak) sit on `/arena`.

+## The ears (`server/arena/listener.js`)

-## Trash Talk (`/arena/talk`)

+Every 15 s, for every roster stream that is live **and** has a transcript line in the last 30 min:

-The part streamers and viewers play themselves.

+1. New `stream_timeline_events` speech lines are read. Every line is checked against open phrase challenges.

+2. A fighter's name (username, display name, fighter name; `@name`; underscores/dots spoken as spaces; longest match first, never yourself) opens a **mention buffer**; lines in the following 45 s join it. At ≥ 20 words the **beef judge** runs (`aimed_at_target`, `quality`, `best_line` verbatim, `about`, `announcer`, `flagged`) → `beef.recordHit`.

+3. Other lines pool for the **topic judge** against the streamer's active board topic (≥ 20 words, ≥ 30 s between calls): `angle_idx`, `quality`, `progress_gain` (0–60), `best_line`, `about`.

+4. One judge call per stream per tick; keyword heuristics when AI is off.

-- **Topic** — every 6 h the Arena posts a topic (AI-written from the main event / top of the ladder; templated when AI is off), e.g. *"Explain why your chat is the smartest chat on this site."*

-- **Entering** — a streamer on the roster enters once per topic, either from the **live mic** (press *I'm about to cook*, say it on stream, *Drop the mic* — the entry is what the transcription heard in that window, linked to the VOD second) or by **typing** (≤ 280 chars). Live mic needs the stream to be live with the timeline transcription running.

-- **Judge** — the AI scores **Spice, Wit, On-topic, Delivery** (0–10 each) with a verdict, a judge's note and a stamp (COOKED ≥ 42 · SOLID ≥ 30 · MID ≥ 18 · FLOP). Slurs/hate/threats are caught by the hard filter before the model, and the model can flag cruelty: a flagged entry scores 0 and its text is hidden from everyone but the author. Heuristic scoring when AI is off.

-- **Crowd** — viewers add the fifth score: `!hype` in the streamer's chat or the Hype button, one per person, `Crowd = min(10, hypers / 3)`, open for 24 h.

-- **Power** — total (/50) × 12 → a Trash Talk bonus on POWER (max +12), decaying linearly over 7 days; shown on the profile and included in the leaderboard order.

-- **Hall of Trash** — the ten best lines of the last 30 days.

+`/arena/live/<username>` shows exactly what the ears hear for a fighter: hot mic lines, the last judgements, active topic progress, open beefs and any bounty on them (auto-refreshes; a level-up flashes).

+## Pages

-### Live sessions (`/arena/talk/<username>`)

+`/arena` — pulse · on the mic now · open + settled beefs · the board (start a topic, pick debate sides, hype, "Talk on this") · Trash Level ladder · clout ladder · power ladder (rows expand) · rules.

+`/arena/beef/<id>` — tale of the tape, tug-of-war, live clock, ringside feed (every judged hit with ▶ to the VOD second and 🔊), receipts from earlier beefs, hype/side buttons.

+`/arena/topic/<id>` — angles, who's talking and their per-angle progress, best lines (▶), debate sides, bounty target, join/leave.

+`/arena/<username>` — stats drill-down, voice + quotes, Trash Level card, rivalries with receipts, beef history.

-The continuous version: a streamer who is live with the timeline transcription running presses **Start live session** on `/arena/talk`. From then on (`server/arena/talk-session.js`, ticker every 15 s):

+## Chat commands (`server/arena/arena-chat.js`)

-- New transcript lines are buffered against the **current topic**; once ≥ 25 new words have arrived and ≥ 30 s passed since the last call, the judge scores the chunk: *is this trash talk on the topic?*, Spice/Wit/On-topic/Delivery, a `progress_gain` (0–60 — how much of the topic that chunk covered), the best verbatim line, and a ≤ 10-word "what they talked about" tag.

-- **Progress** fills the topic bar; at 100 the topic is **cleared** → it becomes a regular Trash Talk entry (POWER bonus, Hall of Trash) and the **next topic is generated**, shaped by what was already cleared. Talk enough → the topic changes. Streamers can skip a topic or end the session.

-- **XP / Trash Level**: each judged chunk adds XP = quality × (trash talk ? 1 : 0.15); a level every 40 XP. Viewers add +2 XP and +4 % progress with `!hype` (one per person per topic).

-- The public console shows the live topic + bar, the latest judgement ("that was trash talk" / "not trash talk yet"), the best line so far (▶ VOD), the **hot mic** feed, "what they talked about" tags, topics cleared/skipped, and a level-up flash. Live sessions are listed on `/arena/talk` under "Talking trash right now".

-- Guard rails: one live session per streamer; ends when the stream ends, after 20 idle minutes, at 3 h, or at 300 judge calls; the slur filter voids chunks before the model sees them; lines shown on the console are filtered too.

-- Persona and commentary prompts forbid mocking appearance, body, voice, disability, age, ethnicity, gender, religion, health or money; everything is framed as Arena lore, PG-13.

-- Portraits never use the streamer's face: only the persona and an identity-free scene description feed the image model.

-- The background job (`server/arena/arena-job.js`) refreshes at most 6 personas and 2 portraits per 20-minute tick, top of the leaderboard first, and stops when the AI budget is exhausted.

-- All AI text is rendered escaped; nothing from a model is inserted as HTML.

- * /arena/<username> fighter profile (stats drill down, voice + quotes, portrait lightbox)

- * /arena/battle/<a>/<b> head-to-head battle (rounds, tale of the tape, walkouts, crowd vote)

+ * /arena/topic/<id> one board event: angles, progress, best lines, sides/bounty/phrase

+ * /arena/live/<username> the ears: what the listener hears from a live fighter (auto-refresh)

+ * /arena/<username> fighter profile (stats drill down, voice + quotes, level, beefs, rivalries)

- * Talks to /api/arena/* (server/arena). Everything renders with escaped template strings —

Click a topic, talk on it, clear its angles → XP → Trash Level.</li>

+ <li><b>Chat.</b> <code>!hype</code> boosts your streamer · <code>!side <name></code> picks a side (clout if you're right) · <code>!topic <text></code> · <code>!bounty <user></code> · <code>!beef</code> · <code>!board</code> · <code>!arena</code>.</li>

+ * The Arena turns the analytics + AI data the site already collects about each streamer

+ * into a fighting-game roster. Everything competitive is driven by what streamers SAY on

+ * stream and what chat does — see listener.js (the ears), beef.js (streamer vs streamer)

+ * and board.js (topics, angles, Trash Levels). This module owns the roster:

* stats → seven 40–99 ratings (HYPE, GRIND, CHAT, LOYALTY, CLUTCH, VIBE, MIC)

- * computed as percentiles across the active roster, plus an overall POWER.

- * Deterministic and free — no AI involved. MIC comes from the continuous

- * audio transcription (stream_timeline_events): how much they talk, how

- * hyped they sound, how often the room laughs.

- * persona → AI "character select" bio (fighter name, class, signature move, taunt,

- * lore …) written from the streamer's AI overview, stream memories, chat-AI

- * notes, VOD overviews and the numbers. Cached 24 h per streamer.

- * quotes → AI-picked "things they actually said" from the transcripts, each linked

- * to the VOD at that second so people can go hear it. Cached 24 h.

- * image → optional AI character portrait. Deliberately NOT a likeness: the image

- * model gets a description of the persona, category, colours and the

- * *scene* of the latest thumbnail (setting/objects/mood — never faces or

- * identity), and draws a stylised fighting-game character. Gated by the

- * `ai_image_enabled` setting, the shared AI budget, and a 7-day cache.

- * battles → a seeded simulation per matchup per day (same pair, same day → same

- * rounds) with AI hype-caster commentary, plus a crowd vote that counts

- * as the final round.

+ * computed as percentiles across the active roster, plus an overall POWER

+ * that also carries the Trash Talk bonus (recent XP + beef wins).

+ * persona → AI "character select" bio, cached 24 h.

+ * OpenVibe.Live — Arena Listener (the ears)

+ *

+ * Every TICK_MS, for every LIVE fighter whose stream is being transcribed, read the new

+ * speech lines and route them:

+ *

+ * mentions → a line that names another fighter (username, display name, fighter name,

+ * "@name") starts/extends a MENTION BUFFER for that target; the next few

+ * lines without a name stay in it (people keep ranting after the name drop).

+ * Once the buffer has ≥ JUDGE_MIN_WORDS and ≥ JUDGE_MIN_INTERVAL_MS passed,

+ * the beef judge decides whether it was trash talk AIMED AT that fighter.

+ * Yes → beef.recordHit() (opens the beef, scores it, starts the other side's

+ * clock). See beef.js.

+ * topic → everything else goes to the streamer's ACTIVE BOARD TOPIC (if they picked

+ * one): the topic judge says which angle (if any) the chunk addressed and how

+ * well → board.applyTopicJudgement() (progress, XP, levels).

+ *

+ * Bounded: at most one judge call per stream per JUDGE_MIN_INTERVAL_MS; nothing happens

+ * for streams nobody is talking on; the slur filter voids chunks before any model call.

+ * State lives in memory (offsets are re-seeded from "now" on restart, so a restart never

+ * replays old speech).

-/**

- * OpenVibe.Live — Arena Trash Talk SESSIONS (live, continuous, transcription-driven)

- *

- * A streamer who is live with the timeline transcription running starts a session. From

- * then on, every TICK_MS the session reads the new speech lines off the transcript,

- * buffers them against the CURRENT TOPIC, and — once enough new words have arrived —

- * asks the judge whether that chunk was trash talk on the topic and how good it was.

- *

- * progress → each judged chunk adds `progress_gain` (0–60) to the topic; at 100 the

- * topic is CLEARED: it becomes a regular Trash Talk entry (so it counts for

- * the POWER bonus and the Hall of Trash) and the NEXT topic is generated,

- * shaped by what they have already cleared. Talk enough → the topic changes.

- * xp/level → every judged chunk adds XP (quality × trash-talkiness); levels every

- * XP_PER_LEVEL. Viewers add XP + progress with `!hype` (one per person per

- * topic).

- * about → each chunk also yields a ≤ 10-word "what they talked about" tag, so the

- * page shows what kind of trash was talked during the session.

- *

- * Everything is visible live at /arena/talk/<username> (public) and polled every few

- * seconds; the streamer sees the same console with start / skip / stop controls.

- * Sessions end when the stream ends, after IDLE_END_MIN minutes without speech, or at

- * MAX_SESSION_HOURS. AI use is bounded: one judge call per ≥ JUDGE_MIN_INTERVAL_MS and

- * ≥ JUDGE_MIN_WORDS new words, a few hundred per session at most.

-/**

- * OpenVibe.Live — Arena Trash Talk

- *

- * The part of the Arena streamers and viewers play themselves:

- *

- * topic → every TOPIC_SLOT_HOURS the Arena posts a topic ("tonight's beef"), AI-written

- * from what is going on (main event, top of the ladder), with a templated

- * fallback. Seeded per slot so every server/restart agrees on it.

- * entry → a streamer on the roster enters once per topic, either from the LIVE MIC

- * (we read what they said on stream from the transcription timeline between

- * "start" and "drop the mic") or by typing it.

- * judge → the AI scores Spice / Wit / On-topic / Delivery (0–10 each) with a verdict,

- * a note and a stamp; slurs / harassment are zeroed and hidden (hard filter

- * before the model, plus the model's own `flagged`). Heuristic when AI is off.

- * crowd → viewers add the fifth score: `!hype` in that streamer's chat (or the Hype

- * button) — one per person, Crowd = min(10, uniques / 3).

- * power → an entry's total (/50) becomes a Trash Talk bonus on POWER (up to

- * TALK_BONUS_MAX), decaying linearly over TALK_BONUS_DAYS.
