NO-GO: please address the two inline comments before merge. TRACE: mentionSearch — contract, authenticated router, service, directory port and query walked; the new public directory-search path permits wildcard enumeration. Acceptance criteria are otherwise met by the implementation and targeted unit/integration tests.

chat_message carried no index on user_id at all, so "has this user posted recently" - the shape a downstream consumer needs to gate chat-activity features - degraded to a sequential scan.
A typed @-autocomplete query resolves against every player via the directory, not just users currently connected to the room channel; an empty query still lists only who is online. Staff accounts stay discoverable only while present in the room, whichever branch surfaces them, so privileged viewers no longer see an admin by email but not by display name. Candidate ids are over-fetched (bounded) because self/block/ignore/offline-staff exclusions run after the directory lookup and would otherwise underfill the autocomplete. Adds the first coverage for searchMentions: service unit tests plus a route-level bootTestApp E2E.

What
ChatCommandsService.searchMentionsrestricted every result to users currently connected to the room channel, and returned[]outright when the room was empty. A typed@-autocomplete query now resolves against every player through the directory; an empty query still lists only who is online.Two supporting changes ride along:
chat_messageindex on(user_id, created_at). The table carried no index onuser_idat all, so "has this user posted recently" — the shape a downstream consumer needs to gate chat-activity features — degraded to a sequential scan.seedDemoDataclearedgamewhilegame_roundrows still referenced it. Any E2E suite callingseedMinimalagainst a database with prior rounds failed at setup ongame_round_game_id_game_id_fk; 13 of 14 suites were red locally for this reason alone. Fixing it is what made the new route-level E2E runnable.Why
A downstream operator needs
@-mentions to reach any player, online or not, and had to build a consumer-side overlay purely to work around this. Fixing it in core removes that need for every consumer.Decisions
findPlayerIds) but not by display name, and the same admin became findable by name once online. A staff account with no player row now requires presence in the room whichever branch surfaced it. Non-privileged viewers never see staff accounts at all —lookupPlayersalready filters them — and that is unchanged.limit * 3, hard cap 200). Self/block/ignore/offline-staff exclusions run after the directory lookup, so fetching exactlylimitlet a single excluded match shrink the autocomplete below what the caller asked for.directory.list({ search })to matchuser.nameso offline admins could be found by display name. It matches onlyuser.emailtoday, and changing it would alter the back-office user list as a side effect.Acceptance criteria

searchMentionshad no test coverage before this. Added service unit tests for the branch matrix pluspackages/testing/src/__tests__/chat-mention-search.e2e.test.ts, a route-levelbootTestAppwalkthrough (offline player found, caller excluded, empty-query scoping, 401 without a session). Nobody holds a realtime connection in a booted test app, so every registered player there is offline — exactly the case the old filter dropped.Local commits were made with
