+# Debug Notes: Nix Flake Server Issues
+
+## Current Status
+The Nix flake successfully sets up the environment and starts the server, but the game doesn't fully load in the browser. The page loads but displays errors.
+
+## What Works ✅
+- `nix develop` - Development shell with all tools (elan, lake, node, npm)
+- `nix build` - Successfully builds the Lean game
+- `setup-nng4-workspace` - Copies lean4game, installs 1662 npm packages
+- `lake build` - Compiles the NNG4 game successfully (286 jobs)
+- Server starts on ports 3000 (Vite) and 8080 (relay)
+- HTML page loads at `http://localhost:3000`
+- i18n translation files are accessible
+
+## What's Broken ❌
+- Browser shows "broken" game page with JavaScript errors
+- i18next-http-backend errors in browser console
+- Relay server API endpoints return 404:
+  - `GET /api/games` → Cannot GET /api/games
+  - `GET /api/game/NNG4` → Cannot GET /api/game/NNG4
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Issue 1: Missing `.lake/gamedata/` directory
+The game requires a `.lake/gamedata/` directory with JSON files containing level metadata. This directory is NOT created by `lake build`.
+
+**Evidence:**
+```bash
+$ ls .lake/gamedata/
+ls: cannot access '.lake/gamedata/': No such file or directory
+```
+
+**What should be there:**
+- `game.json` - Game metadata
+- `level__<world>__<level>.json` - Individual level data
+
+**Referenced in code:**
+- `relay/src/index.ts:64` - Serves game data from `.lake/gamedata`
+- `relay/src/serverProcess.ts:280-285` - Checks for `game.json` existence
+- `relay/src/serverProcess.ts:213` - Reads level data from JSON files
+
+### Issue 2: Directory Structure Mismatch
+The relay server expects games to be in a sibling relationship to `lean4game`, but our structure is:
+
+**Current:**
+```
+NNG4/
+├── .lean4game-nix/    (lean4game platform)
+│   └── relay/
+└── Game/              (game code)
+```
+
+**Relay expects (for local games):**
+```
+parent/
+├── lean4game/
+│   └── relay/
+└── NNG4/              (game directory)
+```
+
+**Path resolution in relay:**
+- `relay/src/serverProcess.ts:260-261`:
+  ```typescript
+  if(owner == 'local') {
+    game_dir = path.join(this.dir, '..', '..', '..', '..', repo)
+  }
+  ```
+- `this.dir` = `.lean4game-nix/relay/dist/src`
+- Goes up 4 levels → `/home/greg/code/experiments/Languages/Lean/NNG4`
+- Then appends `repo` (NNG4) → `/home/greg/code/experiments/Languages/Lean/NNG4/NNG4` ❌
+
+**Actual game location:** `/home/greg/code/experiments/Languages/Lean/NNG4` ✅
+
+## How gamedata Gets Generated
+
+Based on the relay server code, gamedata is generated when `lake serve` runs:
+
+1. **Modern games (v4.7.0+):** Use `lake serve --`
+   - Starts Lean server with GameServer library
+   - GameServer library generates JSON data dynamically
+
+2. **Legacy games (≤ v4.7.0):** Use custom binary
+   - `.lake/packages/GameServer/server/.lake/build/bin/gameserver`
+   - Binary called with `--server <game_dir>`
+
+**Our situation:** NNG4 uses v4.23.0, so it should use `lake serve --`
+
+**Test result:**
+```bash
+$ timeout 10 lake serve --
+Watchdog error: Cannot read LSP request: Stream was closed
+```
+
+The command exits immediately - it needs an actual LSP client connection to work properly.
+
+## Attempted Fixes
+
+### Fix 1: Symlink approach (in progress)
+Modified `flake.nix` to create a symlink so the relay server can find the game:
+```bash
+PARENT_DIR=$(dirname "$GAME_DIR")
+ln -s "$GAME_DIR" "$PARENT_DIR/$GAME_NAME"
+```
+
+This would make `/home/greg/code/experiments/Languages/Lean/NNG4/NNG4` point back to itself.
+
+**Status:** Implemented in flake.nix but not tested yet.
+
+## Potential Solutions
+
+### Option A: Fix the directory structure
+1. Move the game to be a proper sibling of lean4game
+2. Change structure to:
+   ```
+   workspace/
+   ├── .lean4game-nix/
+   └── NNG4/  (symlink to actual game)
+   ```
+
+### Option B: Fix the relay server path resolution
+Create a patched version of the relay server that correctly resolves local game paths for our structure.
+
+### Option C: Use environment variable override
+Check if lean4game relay server supports env vars to override game directory paths.
+
+### Option D: Generate gamedata separately
+Find a way to pre-generate the `.lake/gamedata/` directory before starting the server, possibly by:
+- Running a special lake command
+- Manually creating the JSON files
+- Using a GameServer script
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Verify gamedata generation:**
+   - Start the server properly
+   - Connect to WebSocket
+   - Check if `.lake/gamedata/` gets created dynamically
+
+2. **Test symlink fix:**
+   - Rebuild flake
+   - Run `nix run`
+   - Verify the symlink is created correctly
+   - Check if relay can find the game
+
+3. **Inspect GameServer source:**
+   - Check `.lake/packages/GameServer/server/` for data generation code
+   - Look for documentation on how gamedata is supposed to be created
+
+4. **Compare with working setup:**
+   - Check if Docker/devcontainer approach does something special
+   - Look at lean4game's own test games to see their structure
+
+## Files Modified
+
+- `flake.nix` - Added symlink creation logic to `run-nng4-server` script (lines 97-107)
+
+## Browser Console Errors
+
+```
+fetchIt2 @ i18next-http-backend.js
+requestWithFetch2 @ i18next-http-backend.js
+request2 @ i18next-http-backend.js
+loadUrl @ i18next-http-backend.js
+```
+
+These errors are likely **secondary issues** caused by the game not loading properly due to missing gamedata.
