Server Init Bind Cleanup

Server Init Bind Cleanup

Status: docs-ready branch-split low-risk cleanup lane. No gameplay source changed by this page.

This page owns DR-43b: duplicate compile/bind rows in Server/Init/Init_Server.sqf. The issue is not runtime-critical today because each live duplicate points at the same file and the second bind silently wins. The risk is maintenance drift: a future edit can change only one copy, hide a stale function target, or confuse nearby victory/endgame cleanup. Current docs head a0a86da2 is source-unchanged from the earlier 2f2132f8 matrix for the checked init paths below.

Current Branch Matrix

Scope	Live duplicate binds	Commented duplicate remnants	Development meaning
docs checkout a0a86da2 Chernarus	WFBE_CO_FNC_LogGameEnd (Init_Server.sqf:64,89), WFBE_SE_FNC_PlayerObjectsList (:69,91), WFBE_SE_FNC_AwardScorePlayer (:83,93).	AFK kick (:63,88), server FPS monitor (:65,90), MASH marker (:70,92).	De-duplicate live binds and either remove or clearly mark commented remnants.
docs checkout a0a86da2 maintained Vanilla	Same line shape as source Chernarus.	Same line shape.	Propagate/source-sync cleanup with Chernarus; do not leave Vanilla with the old init block.
stable origin/master cf2a6d6a	One live bind per function in both maintained roots: WFBE_CO_FNC_LogGameEnd (Init_Server.sqf:65), WFBE_SE_FNC_PlayerObjectsList (:70), WFBE_SE_FNC_AwardScorePlayer (:83).	Commented AFK/server-FPS remnants remain; active AFK startup stays at :593 and the old monitor publisher is not live.	Stable already has the live duplicate-bind cleanup; preserve it when merging older docs/Miksuu code.
Miksuu b8389e74	Same old live duplicates as docs checkout in both maintained roots (:64,89, :69,91, :83,93).	Same old AFK/server-FPS/MASH remnants; MASH marker also has the active first bind at :70.	Upstream still needs the cleanup or a careful merge from stable/release.
origin/perf/quick-wins 0076040f	Chernarus has one live bind per function (:64, :69, :83) plus an explanatory cleanup comment around :88; maintained Vanilla still has the old duplicate shape.	Chernarus comment remnants differ from Vanilla; monitor startup still execs later.	Perf is partial propagation: do not claim the branch fixed Vanilla until regenerated/reviewed.
release origin/release/2026-06-feature-bundle a96fdda2	One live bind per function in both maintained roots: WFBE_CO_FNC_LogGameEnd (Init_Server.sqf:65), WFBE_SE_FNC_PlayerObjectsList (:70), WFBE_SE_FNC_AwardScorePlayer (:83).	Commented AFK/server-FPS remnants remain; redundant monitor publisher stays removed/commented around :595.	Release carries maintained-root duplicate-bind parity; preserve this shape when backporting or merging.

What To Change

1. Keep one live compile/bind for each function.
2. Remove or intentionally annotate commented duplicate remnants instead of leaving them as apparent half-patches.
3. Keep WFBE_CO_FNC_LogGameEnd pointed at Server/Functions/Server_LogGameEnd.sqf; do not wire the stale Server/PVFunctions/LogGameEnd.sqf twin.
4. Keep behavior cleanup separate from init hygiene unless the branch explicitly smokes the touched behavior.

Cross-System Caveats

• Victory/endgame: WFBE_CO_FNC_LogGameEnd sits next to DR-11/DR-13/DR-36 work. De-duplicating the bind is safe; changing win/loss semantics is not part of this lane.
• Supply mission: WFBE_SE_FNC_PlayerObjectsList is live and currently owns supply player-object rows. De-duplicating the bind should not change the supply authority work.
• Score awards: WFBE_SE_FNC_AwardScorePlayer is live economy/score plumbing. De-duplicating the bind should not change award validation.
• AFK/FPS/MASH: commented duplicate remnants should not be re-enabled as a cleanup shortcut. AFK, server FPS and MASH each have their own owner pages.

Validation

Source checks:

• On the target branch/root, one live WFBE_CO_FNC_LogGameEnd compile remains.
• On the target branch/root, one live WFBE_SE_FNC_PlayerObjectsList compile remains.
• On the target branch/root, one live WFBE_SE_FNC_AwardScorePlayer compile remains.
• Commented duplicate remnants are removed or explicitly labelled historical.
• Server/PVFunctions/LogGameEnd.sqf remains unregistered unless a separate victory/endgame owner intentionally retires or rewires it.

Runtime smoke, if code is changed:

• Dedicated server boots through server init.
• Victory/endgame still calls the live win-stat logger once for the tested scenario.
• Supply mission start/completion still updates player-object rows.
• Score award path still works for kill/capture/reward flows.
• AFK handling, server FPS HUD and MASH marker status do not regress from their current documented owner states.
