Summary

The repo had no CI and no test that exercises the WebSocket protocol with hostile input. This adds both, and fixes the two bugs the new fuzz suite surfaced.

What changed

• CI (.github/workflows/ci.yml): Node 22 and 24 matrix; node --check over every shipped module (server, data, client JS, scripts, tests — there is no bundler, so a parse error is a runtime error), then npm test.
• Fuzz suite (test/wire-fuzz.test.mjs): every wire message type × every field × junk values (wrong types, prototype keys, 100 KB strings, NUL, lone surrogates) in login / charselect / chargen / playing states, plus all 183 registered verbs × junk arguments. Contract: route() never throws and never emits a SESSION_ERROR.
• Fix: prototype-key crash in the command dispatcher. Typing __proto__ as a verb resolved through p.aliases[first] / DIR_ALIASES[cmd] and threw cmd.replace is not a function → "Something went wrong" to the player and a stack trace in the server log. Alias and direction lookups now use own-key checks (server/commands/index.js, world.js, player.js).
• Fix: table lookups keyed by raw client input. raceById / guildById / itemById / creatureById / skillById returned Object.prototype members for ids like constructor; charcreate with race constructor leaked a TypeError message instead of "Unknown race". All five now require an own string key (data/*.js, server/commands/join.js).
• README: CI badge and a note on what CI runs.

How verified

• npm test → 959 tests, 956 pass. The 2 failures are test/puffer-circle.test.mjs ("seed 42 scripted rotation earns Circle 2 within 512 activities") hitting its 30 s timeout under CPU load; it fails identically on unmodified main on the same machine and passes when the box is idle — pre-existing flake, not touched here.
• node --test test/wire-fuzz.test.mjs → 7/7 pass (fails on main with the cmd.replace TypeError).

Risks / follow-ups

• The *ById helpers now return null for non-string ids. All callers pass strings today (full suite green), but any future caller passing a number will get null rather than a hit.
• Follow-up: the puffer-circle subprocess test deserves a longer timeout or a smaller activity budget so it is stable on loaded CI runners.
• No linter is configured; adding ESLint is a separate, noisier change.

Automated PR audit (2026-10-21): Test (Node 22) failed because test/puffer-circle.test.mjs (a pre-existing suite this PR does not touch) runs two seed-42 Circle 2 runs, about 29s on the Node 22 runner. Its 30s outer timeout SIGKILLed the engine partway through, which surfaced as "Engine exited before response" plus EPIPE. Locally the same test takes about 15s warm and passes on both this branch and main. Correction to the commit message: I did not run main on a GitHub runner, because main has no CI before this PR. Fix: raised that suite's outer budget to 120s and left the per-request 8s timeouts unchanged, so a hung engine still fails fast. Both Node 22 and Node 24 are now green.
