📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds structured Bridge lifecycle commands, alternate-roster synchronization, social roster presence handling, roster-specific controls, and centralized group-action refresh behavior.

Changes

Bridge roster lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bridge protocol and lifecycle transport
Core/MultiBotComm.lua
The Bridge negotiates capabilities, retrieves alternate rosters, resolves bot targets, runs lifecycle commands, polls state, and handles disconnects and protocol errors.
Bridge group state and roster synchronization
Core/MultiBot.lua, Core/MultiBotHandler.lua
Group reconnect and disconnect flows use structured lifecycle commands. Roster indexes, online-state authority, manual guild suppression, and stale group entries are synchronized before refreshes.
Alternate roster and player controls
Core/MultiBot.lua
ALT_ROSTER entries are indexed and rendered in the players roster. Player clicks connect, disconnect, or open controls through Bridge lifecycle handlers.
Social and alternate-roster display
UI/MultiBotUnitsRootUI.lua, Locales/*
Guild, friend, favorite, and alternate rosters track presence, order online entries first, update offline visuals, route lifecycle clicks, and describe the new roster behavior in locale tooltips.
Group action frames and roster identity
Core/MultiBotEvery.lua, Core/MultiBotEngine.lua, Core/MultiBotHandler.lua
Group frames use centralized refresh logic. Member and friend indexing preserves known class and level data and updates friend class indexes safely.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e9747

The PR adds asynchronous bot connect/disconnect controls and roster refresh behavior, but current code may allow lifecycle requests for targets not verified as owned and may apply late results to newer visible state. A social refresh loop and UI failure-path issues also remain possible, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

1453-1466: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Coalesce the roster resync across bursts of group events.

GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE, PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED, and RAID_ROSTER_UPDATE can fire several times in quick succession. Each occurrence now schedules MultiBot.SyncBridgeRosterToPlayers, which rebuilds MultiBot.index.players/actives, re-applies alt state, and triggers RefreshEveryGroupActions plus RelayoutUnitsDisplay (see Core/MultiBot.lua:3221-3470). In a 25/40-man raid this repeats the full rebuild many times for one logical change.

A simple pending guard keeps the behavior and removes the duplicate work.

♻️ Proposed debounce guard
 			if event ~= "UNIT_PET" then
 				local function refreshGroupRosterIndexes()
 					local bridge = MultiBot and MultiBot.bridge
 					if bridge and bridge.connected == true
 						and type(bridge.roster) == "table"
 						and MultiBot.SyncBridgeRosterToPlayers then
 						MultiBot.SyncBridgeRosterToPlayers(bridge.roster)
 					end
 				end
 
 				if MultiBot.TimerAfter then
+					if MultiBot._groupRosterSyncPending == true then
+						return
+					end
+					MultiBot._groupRosterSyncPending = true
 					MultiBot.TimerAfter(0.8, function()
+						MultiBot._groupRosterSyncPending = nil
 						refreshGroupRosterIndexes()
 						ReconnectExistingGroupBots(event)
 					end)
 				else

1189-1190: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Extract the shared roster lifecycle flow.

The Guild, Friend, and Favorite blocks repeat the same five functions (isXLifecyclePending, applyXBridgeState, runXLifecycleByGuid, resolveAndRunXLifecycle, openXEveryBar) across roughly 990 lines. Only the state field name, the roster name, and the refresh call differ.

The blocks have already diverged: the status check noted at lines 937-950 exists in two of the three copies. A single parameterized implementation, driven by a small descriptor table (stateField, phaseField, guidField, rosterName, refresh, isOnline), removes that class of drift.

Also applies to: 1492-1493

Inline comments:
In `@Core/MultiBot.lua`:
- Around line 2257-2264: In the lifecycleState == "OFFLINE" branch of the
BOT_TARGET_RESOLVE handling, clear button._mbGroupDisconnectPending along with
_mbGroupLifecyclePhase before refreshing reconnect state and returning. Preserve
the existing offline-state update and avoid issuing any lifecycle command.
- Around line 3810-3812: Update the online check in the surrounding
bridge-unit-frame flow so it uses `button.state == true` only when
`MultiBot.IsUnitBotOnline` is unavailable; when the helper exists, return its
result directly and do not let a stale button state override false. Match the
explicit guard pattern used by `MultiBot.EnsureBridgeUnitFrame`, preserving the
existing behavior for installations without the helper.

In `@Core/MultiBotComm.lua`:
- Around line 796-798: Update pollBotLifecycleCommand and its safeDelay
scheduling path to stop or avoid rescheduling when MultiBot.TimerAfter is
unavailable, preventing synchronous callback recursion. Preserve normal delayed
lifecycle polling when the timer exists.
- Around line 1023-1030: Update the lifecycle-command registration in
Comm.RunBotLifecycle to arm an unconditional client timeout for each stored
token, matching the existing timeout pattern used by Comm.ResolveBotTarget.
Ensure timeout expiry removes or resolves the pending entry and invokes its
callback through the existing lifecycle completion path, including when no
bridge reply or error frame arrives.

In `@Core/MultiBotEvery.lua`:
- Line 402: Update the legacy CHAT_MSG_WHISPER handling to refresh
pButton.parent via MultiBot.RefreshEveryGroupActionFrame after adding the bot to
MultiBot.index.actives, and ensure the PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED path performs the
centralized refresh even when the Bridge is disconnected.

In `@UI/MultiBotUnitsRootUI.lua`:
- Around line 937-950: Update the Guild lifecycle handling around
runGuildLifecycleByGuid so lifecycleState is read and applied only when
result.status equals "OK", matching the Friend and Favorite flows. For failed
results, do not update the Guild visual state or treat the returned
lifecycleState as authoritative.
- Around line 2127-2129: Update scheduleSocialRosterRefresh and the social
roster refresh flow to distinguish API-triggered roster requests from external
update events, preventing GuildRoster() or ShowFriends() callbacks from
recursively scheduling another rebuild after the pending window. Track and
consume self-triggered update events, or otherwise separate request initiation
from event-driven rebuilding while preserving normal external refresh handling.
