+# Player Ownership Centralization Plan
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Player ownership logic is currently scattered across multiple locations in the codebase, leading to bugs and inconsistencies. The same pattern appears in:
+
+1. **Server-side** (`session-manager.ts:232-239`): Builds `playerOwnership` map from database
+2. **Client-side** (`RoomMemoryPairsProvider.tsx:370-403`): Builds `playerOwnership` from `roomData.memberPlayers`
+3. **UI Components** (`PlayerStatusBar.tsx:31`, `MemoryGrid.tsx:388`): Check `player.userId === viewerId`
+4. **Validation** (`MatchingGameValidator.ts:88-102`): Validates player ownership
+
+## Current Implementations
+
+### Server-Side (session-manager.ts)
+```typescript
+// Lines 232-238
+const players = await db.query.players.findMany({
+  columns: { id: true, userId: true }
+})
+playerOwnership = Object.fromEntries(players.map(p => [p.id, p.userId]))
+```
+
+### Client-Side (RoomMemoryPairsProvider.tsx)
+```typescript
+// Lines 370-403
+const buildPlayerMetadata = useCallback((playerIds: string[]) => {
+  const playerOwnership = new Map<string, string>()
+  if (roomData?.memberPlayers) {
+    for (const [userId, userPlayers] of Object.entries(roomData.memberPlayers)) {
+      for (const player of userPlayers) {
+        playerOwnership.set(player.id, userId)
+      }
+    }
+  }
+  // ... use playerOwnership to assign correct userId
+}, [players, roomData, viewerId])
+```
+
+## Centralization Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Create Shared Utilities Module
+**File**: `src/lib/arcade/player-ownership.ts`
+
+Create a module with:
+1. **Server-side utility**: `buildPlayerOwnershipMap(roomId?: string)`
+   - Fetches from database
+   - Returns `Record<playerId, userId>`
+   - Used by `session-manager.ts`
+
+2. **Client-side utility**: `buildPlayerOwnershipFromRoomData(roomData)`
+   - Builds from `RoomData.memberPlayers`
+   - Returns `Map<playerId, userId>` or `Record<playerId, userId>`
+   - Used by React components
+
+3. **Shared types**: `PlayerOwnershipMap = Record<string, string>`
+
+4. **Helper functions**:
+   - `isPlayerOwnedByUser(playerId, userId, ownershipMap)`
+   - `getPlayerOwner(playerId, ownershipMap)`
+   - `buildPlayerMetadata(playerIds, ownershipMap, playersMap)` - combines ownership + player data
+
+### Phase 2: Update Server-Side Code
+**Files**:
+- `src/lib/arcade/session-manager.ts`
+- `src/lib/arcade/player-manager.ts`
+
+Changes:
+1. Import utilities from `player-ownership.ts`
+2. Replace inline ownership building with `buildPlayerOwnershipMap()`
+3. Add new function to `player-manager.ts`: `getPlayerOwnershipMap(roomId)`
+
+### Phase 3: Update Client-Side Providers
+**Files**:
+- `src/app/arcade/matching/context/RoomMemoryPairsProvider.tsx`
+- Any other game providers that need this logic
+
+Changes:
+1. Import utilities from `player-ownership.ts`
+2. Replace `buildPlayerMetadata` with centralized version
+3. Use shared helper functions for ownership checks
+
+### Phase 4: Update UI Components
+**Files**:
+- `src/app/arcade/matching/components/PlayerStatusBar.tsx`
+- `src/app/arcade/matching/components/MemoryGrid.tsx`
+- `src/components/PageWithNav.tsx`
+- `src/contexts/GameModeContext.tsx`
+
+Changes:
+1. Use centralized `isPlayerOwnedByUser()` helper
+2. Consistent API across all components
+
+### Phase 5: Add to API Endpoints (if needed)
+**Files**:
+- `src/app/api/arcade/rooms/[roomId]/route.ts`
+- Any endpoints that return player data
+
+Changes:
+1. Include `playerOwnership` map in API responses where practical
+2. Document in API response types
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Single Source of Truth**: All ownership logic in one place
+2. **Consistency**: Same algorithm server-side and client-side
+3. **Testability**: Can unit test ownership logic in isolation
+4. **Type Safety**: Shared types across client/server boundary
+5. **Maintainability**: Bug fixes only need to be made once
+6. **Documentation**: Central location for ownership algorithm docs
+
+## Implementation Order (One Commit Per Phase)
+
+1. ✅ **Commit 1**: Create `src/lib/arcade/player-ownership.ts` with all utilities and tests
+2. ✅ **Commit 2**: Update `session-manager.ts` to use new utilities
+3. ✅ **Commit 3**: Update `player-manager.ts` to export ownership helper
+4. ✅ **Commit 4**: Update `RoomMemoryPairsProvider.tsx` to use utilities
+5. ✅ **Commit 5**: Update UI components to use helper functions
+6. ✅ **Commit 6**: Update API endpoints to include ownership data (if needed)
+7. ✅ **Commit 7**: Add comprehensive integration tests
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+### Server vs Client Implementations
+
+**Why separate implementations?**
+- Server uses database queries (async)
+- Client uses in-memory `RoomData` (sync)
+- Different data sources, same logic
+
+**Shared interface:**
+```typescript
+type PlayerOwnershipMap = Record<string, string> // playerId -> userId
+
+// Server-side (async)
+async function buildPlayerOwnershipMap(roomId: string): Promise<PlayerOwnershipMap>
+
+// Client-side (sync)
+function buildPlayerOwnershipFromRoomData(
+  roomData: RoomData
+): PlayerOwnershipMap
+```
+
+### Type Consistency
+
+Both return the same structure:
+```typescript
+{
+  "player-id-1": "user-id-1",
+  "player-id-2": "user-id-1",
+  "player-id-3": "user-id-2"
+}
+```
+
+This allows validators, helpers, and checks to work identically regardless of source.
+
+## Migration Path
+
+1. Create new module alongside existing code
+2. Add tests for new utilities
+3. Gradually migrate files one at a time
+4. Remove old implementations after migration complete
+5. Deprecate old patterns in documentation
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+1. **Unit tests** for utilities in isolation
+2. **Integration tests** for server-side flow
+3. **Component tests** for client-side usage
+4. **E2E tests** for full multiplayer scenarios
+
+## Documentation
+
+Add to existing docs:
+- Update `ARCADE_ARCHITECTURE.md` with new utilities section
+- Update `MULTIPLAYER_SYNC_ARCHITECTURE.md` with ownership flow
+- Add JSDoc comments to all exported functions
