| 2025-11-27 | Review 3 (`review3/REVIEW.md`) | **Critical**: Discovered `games#create` action does NOT exist (routes declared it but controller didn't implement it). Updated plan to implement action from scratch. Added `games#new` action and view for VM set selection. Added MissionsController#show update. Validated callback timing approach is correct. Added revised implementation order prioritizing controller infrastructure. |
| 2025-11-28 | Hacktivity Compatibility (`review3/HACKTIVITY_COMPATIBILITY.md`) | **Reviewed Hacktivity codebase** for compatibility. Key findings: (1) Use `FlagService.process_flag()` instead of direct model update for proper scoring/streaks/notifications, (2) VmSet uses `sec_gen_batch` (with underscore) not `secgen_batch`, (3) VmSet has no `display_name` method - use `sec_gen_batch.title` instead, (4) Added `event_id` and `sec_gen_batch_id` to VM context for console URLs, (5) Added case-insensitive flag matching to match Hacktivity behavior, (6) Added eager loading with `.includes(:vms, :sec_gen_batch)`, (7) Filter out pending/error build_status VM sets. |

(1) Console endpoint dispatches background job that generates SPICE `.vv` file, (2) Job broadcasts file via `ActionCable.server.broadcast "file_push:#{user_id}"` with Base64-encoded content, (3) Updated plan to single approach: subscribe to `FilePushChannel`, POST to trigger job, receive file via ActionCable. (4) Created `hacktivity-cable.js` module specification, (5) Updated VM launcher minigame to use AJAX POST + ActionCable callback pattern, (6) Removed alternative "open Hacktivity page" approach - now single definitive approach. |

+# Implementation Ready Checklist
+
+**Status**: ✅ READY FOR IMPLEMENTATION
+**Date**: November 28, 2025
+
+---
+
+## Pre-Implementation Fixes (Minor)
+
+Before starting implementation, apply these minor fixes to the plan:
+
+### 1. Policy Methods
+
+Add to `app/policies/break_escape/game_policy.rb`:
+```ruby
+def submit_flag?
+ show?
+end
+```
+
+Add to `app/policies/break_escape/mission_policy.rb` (or create if doesn't exist):
+```ruby
+def create_game?
+ user.present?
+end
+```
+
+### 2. Update `hacktivity_mode?` Method
+
+In `games#create`, change authorization from:
+```ruby
+authorize @mission if defined?(Pundit)
+```
+To:
+```ruby
+authorize @mission, :create_game? if defined?(Pundit)
+```
+
+### 3. Remove Redundant Authorization
+
+In `games#create`, remove this line:
+```ruby
+authorize vm_set, :use? if defined?(Pundit) # REMOVE - valid_vm_sets_for_user handles this
+```
+
+---

+
+## Verification Checklist
+
+After implementation, verify:
+
+- [ ] Visiting mission with `secgen_scenario` redirects to `games#new`
+- [ ] VM set selection page shows available VM sets
+- [ ] Creating game with VM set stores `vm_set_id` in player_state
+- [ ] Scenario ERB has access to `vm_context`
+- [ ] Clicking `type: "vm-launcher"` object opens VM launcher minigame
+- [ ] Clicking `type: "flag-station"` object opens flag station minigame
+- [ ] Flag submission validates server-side
+- [ ] Flag submission calls `FlagService.process_flag` in Hacktivity mode
+- [ ] Console button triggers SPICE file download via ActionCable
+- [ ] Multiple games per mission work (unique index removed)
+- [ ] Standalone mode works without VMs

+# Plan Amendments - Review 4
+
+These are the specific amendments to apply to `IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md` based on Review 4 findings.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Add Policy Requirements to Implementation Checklist
+
+**Location**: Lines 2448-2462 (Phase 2 checklist)
+
+**Add after line 2.13**:
+```markdown
+- [ ] 2.14 Add GamePolicy#submit_flag? method
+- [ ] 2.15 Add MissionPolicy#create_game? method (for authorization in games#create)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Fix Authorization in `games#create` Action
+
+**Location**: Lines 820-864 (games#create action code)
+
+**Change line 821**:
+```ruby
+# FROM:
+authorize @mission if defined?(Pundit)
+
+# TO:
+authorize @mission, :create_game? if defined?(Pundit)
+```
+
+**Remove lines 831-832**:
+```ruby
+# REMOVE THESE LINES (redundant - valid_vm_sets_for_user already validates ownership):
+vm_set = ::VmSet.find(params[:vm_set_id])
+authorize vm_set, :use? if defined?(Pundit)
+```
+
+**Replace with**:
+```ruby
+vm_set = ::VmSet.find_by(id: params[:vm_set_id])
+return render json: { error: 'VM set not found' }, status: :not_found unless vm_set
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Update `hacktivity_mode?` Reference in Model Changes
+
+**Location**: Lines 580-600 (Mission model changes)
+
+**Add note after line 585**:
+```markdown
+**NOTE**: Update the existing `hacktivity_mode?` method (line 60-62 in current code) to use this new definition. The current definition only checks for `::Cybok`.
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Add Policy Code Examples
+
+**Location**: Add new section after line 1080 (after controller routes section)
+
+```markdown
+### 3. Update Policies
+
+#### GamePolicy
+
+Add to `app/policies/break_escape/game_policy.rb`:
+
+```ruby
+def submit_flag?
+ show?
+end
+
+def container?
+ show?
+end
+```
+
+#### MissionPolicy
+
+Add to `app/policies/break_escape/mission_policy.rb`:
+
+```ruby
+def create_game?
+ # Anyone authenticated can create a game for a mission
+ user.present?
+end
+```
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Clarify `hacktivity-cable.js` Script Loading
+
+**Location**: Lines 1472-1488 (loading hacktivity-cable.js)
+
+**Replace the two options with single recommended approach**:
+```markdown
+**Loading this module:**
+
+Add to `app/views/break_escape/games/show.html.erb` after the Phaser script loads:
+
+```erb
+<% if BreakEscape::Mission.hacktivity_mode? %>
+
+<% end %>
+```
+
+**Note**: The module self-initializes on load. No additional setup required.
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Add Fallback for Non-Hacktivity VmSet Authorization
+
+**Location**: Lines 833-839 (games#create validation)
+
+**Update the validation block**:
+```ruby
+# Validate VM set belongs to user and matches mission
+if BreakEscape::Mission.hacktivity_mode?
+ unless @mission.valid_vm_sets_for_user(current_user).include?(vm_set)
+ return render json: { error: 'Invalid VM set for this mission' }, status: :forbidden
+ end
+else
+ # Standalone mode - vm_set_id shouldn't be used
+ Rails.logger.warn "[BreakEscape] vm_set_id provided but not in Hacktivity mode, ignoring"
+ params.delete(:vm_set_id)
+end
+```
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+| Amendment | Severity | Reason |
+|-----------|----------|--------|
+| Add policy methods | Minor | Pundit will fail without these |
+| Fix authorization action | Minor | `authorize @mission` uses `show?` not `create_game?` |
+| Remove redundant VmSet auth | Cleanup | Query already validates ownership |
+| Add `hacktivity-cable.js` load | Clarification | Two options were confusing |
+| Add Hacktivity mode check | Robustness | Prevents errors in standalone mode |
+
+These amendments can be applied incrementally during implementation without blocking the start of development.

+# VM and CTF Flag Integration - Plan Review 4
+
+**Reviewer**: AI Review
+**Date**: November 28, 2025
+**Document Reviewed**: `planning_notes/vms_and_flags/IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md` (post-Reviews 1, 2, 3 + Hacktivity Compatibility)
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The implementation plan has matured significantly through four review cycles. The plan is now **ready for implementation** with minor clarifications needed. All critical issues from previous reviews have been addressed, and the Hacktivity compatibility deep-dive has resolved API integration concerns.
+
+**Status**: ✅ Ready for Implementation
+**Remaining Issues**: 2 Minor, 2 Recommendations
+**Estimated Risk**: Low
+
+---
+
+## Validation Summary
+
+### ✅ Issues Resolved from Previous Reviews
+
+| Issue | Status | Notes |
+|-------|--------|-------|
+| `games#create` action missing | ✅ Resolved | Plan now explicitly shows full implementation |
+| `games#new` action missing | ✅ Resolved | Plan includes action and view |
+| `secgen_scenario` column | ✅ Verified | Exists in migration `20251125000001` |
+| Hacktivity association naming | ✅ Fixed | Uses `sec_gen_batch` (with underscore) |
+| Flag submission method | ✅ Fixed | Uses `FlagService.process_flag()` |
+| VmSet `display_name` | ✅ Fixed | Uses `sec_gen_batch.title` instead |
+| Console URL construction | ✅ Complete | Stores `event_id`, `sec_gen_batch_id` in VM context |
+| ActionCable integration | ✅ Complete | Uses FilePushChannel subscription |
+| ERB null-safety patterns | ✅ Verified | Uses `&.`, `dig`, `|| 'null'` |
+| `window.breakEscapeConfig` | ✅ Verified | Plan extends, not replaces |
+
+### ✅ Codebase Alignment Verified
+
+| Component | Plan Assumption | Actual Codebase | Status |
+|-----------|-----------------|-----------------|--------|
+| Routes structure | `BreakEscape::Engine.routes.draw` | ✅ Matches | OK |
+| Game model callbacks | `before_create` for scenario/state | ✅ Matches | OK |
+| Player state structure | JSONB with defaults | ✅ Matches | OK |
+| Minigame registration | `MinigameFramework.registerScene()` | ✅ Matches | OK |
+| Policy pattern | Pundit with `authorize` | ✅ Matches | OK |
+| Object interaction | `handleObjectInteraction()` via type | ✅ Matches | OK |
+| Unique index on games | Exists, needs removal | ✅ Verified | OK |
+
+---
+
+## Minor Issues to Address
+
+### 1. 📝 Policy Methods Missing for New Actions
+
+The `GamePolicy` currently defines policies for existing actions but will need new policy methods for `create`, `new`, and `submit_flag` actions.
+
+**Current** (`app/policies/break_escape/game_policy.rb`):
+```ruby
+def show?
+ record.player == user || user&.admin? || user&.account_manager?
+end
+```
+
+**Required Additions**:
+```ruby
+# For games#create - check if user can create games for this mission
+def create?
+ # The record here is the Mission, not a Game
+ # Anyone authenticated can create games
+ user.present?
+end
+
+# For games#new - same as create
+def new?
+ create?
+end
+
+# For games#submit_flag - owner can submit flags
+def submit_flag?
+ record.player == user || user&.admin? || user&.account_manager?
+end
+```
+
+**Note**: The `create` action in the plan authorizes `@mission`, not `@game`:
+```ruby
+authorize @mission if defined?(Pundit)
+```
+
+This means you need a `MissionPolicy#create?` OR change the authorization approach to use `Game.new.authorize` pattern.
+
+**Recommendation**: Use `authorize @mission, :create_game?` with:
+```ruby
+# mission_policy.rb
+def create_game?
+ user.present? # Anyone authenticated can start a game
+end
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. 📝 `hacktivity_mode?` Detection Method Location
+
+The plan defines `hacktivity_mode?` in two places:
+
+1. In `Mission` model (lines 465-468):
+```ruby
+def self.hacktivity_mode?
+ defined?(::VmSet) && defined?(::SecGenBatch) && defined?(::FlagService)
+end
+```
+
+2. Reference in `show.html.erb` (line 92):
+```ruby
+hacktivityMode: <%= BreakEscape::Mission.hacktivity_mode? %>,
+```
+
+**Issue**: The Mission model currently only checks `defined?(::Cybok)` (line 60-62), not the VM/Flag classes.
+
+**Current** (`app/models/break_escape/mission.rb`):
+```ruby
+def self.hacktivity_mode?
+ defined?(::Cybok)
+end
+```
+
+**Recommendation**: The plan's more comprehensive check is better - update the existing method:
+```ruby
+def self.hacktivity_mode?
+ defined?(::VmSet) && defined?(::FlagService)
+end
+```
+
+This is a minor fix but important for consistent behavior.
+
+---
+
+## Recommendations (Nice to Have)
+
+### 1. 💡 Add `container` Action Authorization
+
+The plan's `submit_flag` action calls `@game.submit_flag(flag_key)` which accesses scenario data. The policy should ensure this is the game owner.
+
+The plan shows:
+```ruby
+def submit_flag
+ authorize @game if defined?(Pundit)
+ # ...
+end
+```
+
+This is correct - the existing pattern `show?` → `record.player == user` will work. Just add:
+```ruby
+def submit_flag?
+ show?
+end
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. 💡 Consider Route Namespacing for VmSet Authorization
+
+When authorizing `vm_set` in `games#create`:
+```ruby
+vm_set = ::VmSet.find(params[:vm_set_id])
+authorize vm_set, :use? if defined?(Pundit)
+```
+
+The `::VmSet` is a Hacktivity model with its own policy. The `use?` policy method may not exist.
+
+**Recommendation**: Check Hacktivity's VmSetPolicy or skip direct VmSet authorization and rely on the `valid_vm_sets_for_user` method's implicit authorization (it only returns VMs the user owns).
+
+The plan's current approach:
+```ruby
+unless @mission.valid_vm_sets_for_user(current_user).include?(vm_set)
+ return render json: { error: 'Invalid VM set' }, status: :forbidden
+end
+```
+
+This is sufficient - the `valid_vm_sets_for_user` query already filters to user's own VMs. The extra `authorize vm_set, :use?` line can be removed.

+## Implementation Readiness Checklist
+
+| Phase | Ready | Notes |
+|-------|-------|-------|
+| Database Changes | ✅ | Migration file outlined, `secgen_scenario` already exists |
+| Model Changes | ✅ | All methods documented with code |
+| Controller Changes | ✅ | Full action implementations provided |
+| Views | ✅ | `new.html.erb` template included |
+| Routes | ✅ | Changes clearly specified |
+| Client JS - ActionCable | ✅ | `hacktivity-cable.js` fully documented |
+| Client JS - Minigames | ✅ | Both minigames fully implemented |
+| Client JS - Interactions | ✅ | Handler code provided |
+| CSS Styling | ✅ | Complete stylesheets included |
+| ERB Templates | ✅ | Example scenario with null-safety patterns |
+| Policies | ⚠️ | Need to add `submit_flag?` and `create_game?` |
+| Tests | 📝 | Testing plan outlined but not implemented |
+
+---
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+### Low Risk ✅
+- Database migration is straightforward (index removal)
+- New endpoints follow existing patterns
+- Minigame framework integration is well-established
+- ERB patterns are documented with null-safety
+
+### Medium Risk ⚠️ (Mitigated)
+- **Hacktivity integration** - mitigated by FlagService usage and compatibility review
+- **Console file delivery** - mitigated by ActionCable subscription approach
+
+### No High-Risk Items
+The plan has addressed all critical concerns through the review process.
+
+---
+
+## Deployment Considerations
+
+### Order of Operations
+
+1. **Deploy controller changes** (disabled/hidden)
+ - Add `games#new`, `games#create`, `games#submit_flag`
+ - Update `MissionsController#show` redirect logic
+ - Add policy methods
+
+2. **Run migration**
+ - Remove unique index on games table
+
+3. **Deploy frontend changes**
+ - Add minigame JS files
+ - Add CSS files
+ - Update `show.html.erb` config
+ - Add ActionCable integration
+
+4. **Enable new functionality**
+ - Update scenarios with VM/flag ERB syntax
+ - Test end-to-end
+
+### Rollback Strategy
+
+- Controller changes are additive (new actions)
+- Migration can be reversed (re-add unique index)
+- Frontend JS/CSS can be reverted
+- Existing games unaffected (no schema changes to player_state)
+
+---
+
+## Suggested Minor Updates to Plan
+
+### 1. Add Policy Code to Phase 2
+
+Insert after line 2.13 in the Implementation Checklist:
+```
+- [ ] 2.14 Add policy methods: GamePolicy#submit_flag?, MissionPolicy#create_game?
+```
+
+### 2. Update `hacktivity_mode?` in Implementation
+
+Update Phase 1.5 to explicitly note updating the existing method:
+```
+- [ ] 1.5 Update Mission.hacktivity_mode? to check for ::VmSet and ::FlagService
+```
+
+### 3. Remove Redundant VmSet Authorization
+
+In the `games#create` action code (lines 830-833), simplify:
+```ruby
+# REMOVE THIS LINE:
+authorize vm_set, :use? if defined?(Pundit)
+
+# The valid_vm_sets_for_user check below is sufficient
+```
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The implementation plan is **ready for implementation**. The three previous reviews and Hacktivity compatibility analysis have addressed all critical issues. The plan provides:
+
+- ✅ Complete code examples for all changes
+- ✅ Clear implementation order
+- ✅ Comprehensive error handling
+- ✅ Both Hacktivity and standalone mode support
+- ✅ Proper security patterns (server-side flag validation)
+- ✅ Async console file handling via ActionCable
+
+**Recommendation**: Proceed with implementation following the revised implementation order in the plan (Phase 1: Controller Infrastructure first).
