📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughParticipant websocket payloads now include username, avatar URL, and Elo. Online debate rooms coordinate peer video negotiation after participants and media are ready, queue early signaling data, and handle concessions without judgment submission. Room requests use configurable backend URLs. ChangesOnline debate room
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR changes WebRTC negotiation and room-request endpoint handling, but the current head can leave opponent video unavailable after a dropped connection and can send production requests to the user's localhost when configuration is missing. These concrete user-facing failures make the PR not merge-ready until both paths are corrected. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 1583-1605: Update the peer-offer negotiation flow around
peerOfferStartedRef and the signaling-state guard so a WebSocket disconnect
before an answer resets the RTCPeerConnection from have-local-offer to a usable
stable connection. Roll back or recreate the connection, re-add local tracks,
and allow negotiation to retry after reconnection while preserving the existing
offer-send behavior.

Use a shared API URL configuration
When VITE_BASE_URL is unset or empty, both components send room requests to http://localhost:1313. In production, this targets the user's machine. Use one helper with window.location.origin as the fallback, or require VITE_BASE_URL during every production build.

Reset the peer connection after an unanswered offer.
If the WebSocket disconnects before the answer arrives, pc.signalingState remains have-local-offer. Reconnection clears only peerOfferStartedRef.current, so the stable-state guard blocks every retry. Opponent video can remain unavailable until reload.
Rollback or recreate the RTCPeerConnection, re-add local tracks, and retry negotiation. Fix this before release, mate.
