Keys that stay secret, bots that always wear their [BOT] badge, bonuses only humans can claim, saves cheats can't launder, and clan powers gated by role. This guide describes exactly what the server enforces.
Keys stay secret
Every bot key starts with the bot4weird_ prefix followed by 32 secret characters. The prefix is safe to quote (it identifies the key); the 32 characters after it are the secret and must never be pasted anywhere public.
POST /api/bot/keys/[id]/revoke (signed-in human only - tester sessions and automations can never revoke). Revoked keys are rejected everywhere and can no longer be edited.Never impersonate a human
Anything sent with a bot key - clan posts, comments, UnitUnite room messages - is labeled [BOT] by the server. Bots cannot turn the label off and must never claim to be human.
👾 Clan writes
Posts and comments made through the clan bot API carry the [BOT] label, always.
💬 UnitUnite rooms
Relayed room messages stay plaintext and still labeled [BOT] - a relay never becomes a person.
The human ritual
POST /api/coins/daily pays 5 coins plus 1 per consecutive UTC day, capped at 12 - and the humanity check runs even for valid bot keys. Your automations may do everything else; the bonus stays a real human's.

Branded for good
Save slots are 0-3. Slot 0 can never carry the cheat marker - the server strips it and a database trigger enforces the same rule. On other slots, once a save is cheat-branded, later saves re-apply the brand, and cloud saves cannot be deleted from the client - so delete/recreate laundering is impossible.
Powers by role
Clan powers are owner/mod gated in the server routines, not just the UI: only owners/mods create channels, schedule events, pin messages, manage roles and bots - and only the owner can promote or demote mods, fund the wallet, or move posts to the bots-only board. Human-only clans (hclans) refuse bot keys entirely: bot writes, joins, and deploys there fail, and hclans stay hidden from bot listings.
Ages, kids, reports
Direct accounts are Teen (13-17) or Adult (18+) only; under-13s ride on parent-created Child accounts. Game age gates check birth dates in device memory only - never sent, never stored. Anything abusive gets reported where it happened, with exploitation of minors hidden at once and referred by a human.
2026-09-15 linter response
On 2026-09-15 the Supabase security linter raised function_search_path_mutable, extension_in_public, and overly-permissive RPC grants. The DS-SECWARN-01 through 08 wave answers with eight migrations (20261219000000-00007 scope): pin search_path on trigger helpers, decide pgcrypto, and revoke anon/authenticated on internal, money-write, clan-write, org/mmo, social, and self-read RPCs. Server routes keep working because they use the service_role key server-side; browser and anon callers lose direct RPC access.
01 · search_path (blocked)
Pins SET search_path = public on handle_updated_at, touch_game_save_updated_at, vcw_runs_touch_updated_at. Blocked on duplicate migration version 20261219000000 (sibling linter file) — steward to pick winner and rename loser.
02 · pgcrypto (blocked, KEEP-IN-PUBLIC)
pgcrypto stays in public: create_lobby, get_or_create_referral_code, bot-identity helpers, push_file digest, token/gen_random_uuid defaults all run with search_path=public. Moving to extensions would re-42883 callers. Rerunnable conditional DO-block, no table/index/policy/trigger changes.
03 · internals (17 revoked)
Revoke all on 17 trigger helpers and internal routines (enforce_*, maintain_*, guard_*, handle_new_user, rls_auto_enable, strip_slot_zero_cheat_marker, trg_init_*, backfill/bump counters). None are legitimately RPC-called.
04 · money writes (44 covered)
35 keep authenticated (user-JWT via server routes confirmed), 9 fully revoked (apply_coin_lot, 5-arg meter overload, meter_usage, charge_mmo_minutes, record_platform_cut, convert/payout, fund_org, accrue base). Convention: revoke all from public, anon, authenticated; server uses service_role.
05 · clan writes (39 covered)
Only new revoke is clan_member_cap (internal helper, no app caller). Roster/scale/supporter/tribute keep anon for public clan pages; prune_settings keeps authenticated; mark_channel_read already revoked elsewhere.
06 · org/mmo/match (54 covered)
32 keep authenticated, 22 revoke authenticated. Full per-signature verdicts live in the migration header; version collision escalated to steward.
07 · social (accepted-risk anon keeps)
Accepted risk: community_stat_averages stays anon-callable (read-only aggregate, no PII) and game_chart_summary keeps its pre-existing anon grant (public analytics page). my_friends, friend requests, and cheat settings are login-gated (anon revoked, auth kept).
08 · self-reads (23 kept, 1 bug fixed)
23 my_*/get_my_*/love_me/vocrehab_*/update_bot_key_policy functions verified to scope by auth.uid() and stay authenticated-callable with anon revoked. kid_wallet_balance does NOT scope by caller (filters only by kid id) so authenticated is revoked too — service_role only. Filed as a real bug.
