Bans reached Discord more than once.

Restart resend. banned-players.json stores ban times to the second. A ban mirrored live was saved to ban-mirror.yml with milliseconds, so after a restart its times no longer matched and it was posted as a new ban. That happened on TFMCMain at 06:10 on Oct 19. Ban times are now compared in whole seconds, including state files written by earlier versions.

One ban, every server. Ban posts now carry banned_at_ms / expires_at_ms, so the API can tell when Main and Lobby report the same ban and send one message. A duplicate is logged as "already sent from another server".

With the new ban-mirror.sync setting (default false), each tick fetches GET /skins/moderation/bans after posting local changes, then:

  • applies bans made on other servers. Online players are kicked through Player#ban. A newer ban with a different length replaces the local copy.
  • lifts bans this server already mirrored when another server unbanned the player afterwards.
  • marks synced bans as known, so this server never re-posts them.
  • leaves alone a local unban the API has not received yet.

Set sync: true on TFMCMain and TFMCLobby only; Tutorial shares the live API.

Needs the backend change: TF-Minecraft/TFMCWeb#284. Against an older backend, the sync fetch warns once and posting works as before.

Validation: mvn clean verify passes, with new tests for restart precision, sync apply/lift/skip, duplicate logging and ban-sync parsing.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

banned-players.json keeps ban times to the second, so a ban read back
after a restart lost its milliseconds and was posted as a new ban.
Ban times are now compared in whole seconds, including state files
written before this change.

Ban posts now carry the ban's start and end times so the API can tell
when Main and Lobby report the same ban. With ban-mirror.sync (off by
default), each server also applies bans and unbans made on the other
servers that share the API.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added optional cross-server ban synchronisation. When enabled, bans and unbans made on one server can be applied on other servers using the API.
    • Ban updates include timestamps, helping servers identify newer changes and avoid reposting mirrored events.
  • Configuration
    • Added the ban-mirror.sync option, disabled by default.

This change adds an opt-in cross-server ban and unban sync path. The client reads remote ban state and sends ban timestamps. The poller applies eligible remote changes and normalises timestamps. Config and tests cover the setting, parsing, duplicate events, and sync behaviour.

Changes: Cross-server ban synchronisation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ban-sync API contracts
src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/tfmcweb/api/ProvinceSystemClient.java, src/test/java/net/tfminecraft/tfmcweb/api/ProvinceSystemClientTest.java
The API client adds ban-sync response models and parsing, sends ban and expiry timestamps, and distinguishes duplicate mirror results. Tests cover parsing, request fields, duplicates, and API errors.
Configurable poller synchronisation
src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/tfmcweb/Cache.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/tfmcweb/loaders/ConfigLoader.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/tfmcweb/managers/BanMirrorPoller.java, src/main/resources/config.yml, src/test/java/net/tfminecraft/tfmcweb/managers/BanMirrorPollerTest.java
The ban-mirror.sync setting defaults to false. When enabled, the poller fetches remote state and applies eligible bans and lifts. It rounds stored timestamps to seconds and includes them in event submissions. Tests cover application, rejection, failures, retries, and duplicate events.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 27f1d

With cross-server sync enabled, a player who was unbanned and then re-banned on another server could be briefly unbanned locally. The ban is applied again on the next poll. The feature is off by default, so the risk is limited and the fix is small.

- Around line 174-186: Update the ban and unban processing around the
`remote.bans` loop and the unban loop so an unban cannot pardon a player who
still has an active remote ban. Track IDs present in `remote.bans` and skip
those IDs before the unban loop calls `list.pardon` or removes them from
`known`.
