Area connectivity — single_player, multiplayer, either

connection-and-sync/005 · created 2026-08-18 · updated 2026-08-19

What to do

• schema.sql: ALTER TABLE areas ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS connectivity TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'multiplayer'; homes set to either at creation and by a [migrate] backfill.
• worldContent.ts: AreaContentSchema.connectivity (enum, default multiplayer); the validator insists the hub is multiplayer and homes are either. spellgrove.world.json unchanged (defaults apply).
• World editor: a segmented control in the Area inspector; a visual on the ball.
• publicMap.ts exposes it (it isn’t a secret); hello_ack.area.connectivity; the in-game world map screen marks Areas that need a connection.
• portal_blocked gains reason OFFLINE — “That way needs a connection” — used by 006.

Definition of done

Schema, loader and public-map round trips in tests; validator refusals; the editor writes and reads the field; verify-world-map still green.
