+## Abacus Visualizations
+
+**CRITICAL: This project uses @soroban/abacus-react for all abacus visualizations.**
+
+- All abacus displays MUST use components from `@soroban/abacus-react`
+- Package location: `packages/abacus-react`
+- Main components: `AbacusReact`, `useAbacusConfig`, `useAbacusDisplay`
+- DO NOT create custom abacus visualizations
+- DO NOT manually draw abacus columns, beads, or bars
+
+**Common Mistakes to Avoid:**
+- ❌ Don't create custom abacus components or SVGs
+- ❌ Don't manually render abacus beads or columns
+- ✅ Always use `AbacusReact` from `@soroban/abacus-react`
+- ✅ Use `useAbacusConfig` for abacus configuration
+- ✅ Use `useAbacusDisplay` for reading abacus state
+
+**MANDATORY: Read the Docs Before Customizing**
+
+**ALWAYS read the full README documentation before customizing or styling AbacusReact:**
+- Location: `packages/abacus-react/README.md`
+- Check homepage implementation: `src/app/page.tsx` (MiniAbacus component)
+- Check storybook examples: `src/stories/AbacusReact.*.stories.tsx`
+
+**Key Documentation Points:**
+1. **Custom Styles**: Use `fill` (not just `stroke`) for columnPosts and reckoningBar
+2. **Props**: Use direct props like `value`, `columns`, `scaleFactor` (not config objects)
+3. **Example from Homepage:**
+   ```typescript
+   const darkStyles = {
+     columnPosts: {
+       fill: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3)',
+       stroke: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2)',
+       strokeWidth: 2,
+     },
+     reckoningBar: {
+       fill: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4)',
+       stroke: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.25)',
+       strokeWidth: 3,
+     },
+   }
+
+   <AbacusReact
+     value={123}
+     columns={3}
+     customStyles={darkStyles}
+   />
+   ```
+
+**Example Usage:**
+```typescript
+import { AbacusReact } from '@soroban/abacus-react'
+
+<AbacusReact value={123} columns={5} scaleFactor={1.5} showNumbers={true} />
+```

+# Panda CSS Dynamic Token Usage
+
+## Problem: Dynamic Color Tokens Not Working
+
+When using Panda CSS, color tokens like `blue.400`, `purple.400`, etc. don't work when used dynamically through variables in the `css()` function.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+Panda CSS's `css()` function requires **static values at build time**. It cannot process dynamic token references like:
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ This doesn't work
+const color = 'blue.400'
+css({ color: color })  // Panda can't resolve this at build time
+```
+
+The `css()` function performs static analysis during the build process to generate CSS classes. It cannot handle runtime-dynamic token paths.
+
+## Solution: Use the `token()` Function
+
+Panda CSS provides a `token()` function specifically for resolving token paths to their actual values at runtime:
+
+```typescript
+import { token } from '../../styled-system/tokens'
+
+// ✅ This works
+const stages = [
+  { level: '10 Kyu', label: 'Beginner', color: 'colors.green.400' },
+  { level: '5 Kyu', label: 'Intermediate', color: 'colors.blue.400' },
+  { level: '1 Kyu', label: 'Advanced', color: 'colors.violet.400' },
+  { level: 'Dan', label: 'Master', color: 'colors.amber.400' },
+] as const
+
+// Use with inline styles, not css()
+<div style={{ color: token(stage.color) }}>
+```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+1. **Use `as const`**: TypeScript needs the array marked as `const` so the token strings are treated as literal types, not generic strings. The `token()` function expects the `Token` literal type.
+
+2. **Use inline styles**: When using `token()`, apply colors via the `style` prop, not through the `css()` function:
+   ```typescript
+   // ✅ Correct
+   <div style={{ color: token(stage.color) }}>
+
+   // ❌ Won't work
+   <div className={css({ color: token(stage.color) })}>
+   ```
+
+3. **Static tokens in css()**: For static usage, you CAN use tokens directly in `css()`:
+   ```typescript
+   // ✅ This works because it's static
+   css({ color: 'blue.400' })
+   ```
+
+## How token() Works
+
+The `token()` function:
+- Takes a token path like `"colors.blue.400"`
+- Looks it up in the generated token registry (`styled-system/tokens/index.mjs`)
+- Returns the actual CSS value (e.g., `"#60a5fa"`)
+- Happens at runtime, not build time
+
+## Token Type Definition
+
+The `Token` type is a union of all valid token paths:
+```typescript
+type Token = "colors.blue.400" | "colors.green.400" | "colors.violet.400" | ...
+```
+
+This is defined in `styled-system/tokens/tokens.d.ts`.
+
+## Reference Implementation
+
+See `src/app/page.tsx` lines 404-434 for a working example of dynamic token usage in the "Your Journey" section.

+
+
+### BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* **db:** Database schemas now accept any string for game names
+* Added DELETE /api/arcade/rooms/:roomId/invite endpoint for declining invitations
+
+Authorization Error Handling:
+- ModerationPanel: Parse and display API error messages (kick, ban, unban, invite, data loading)
+- PendingInvitations: Parse and display API error messages (decline, fetch)
+- All moderation actions now show specific auth errors like "Only the host can kick users"
+
+New Endpoint:
+- DELETE /api/arcade/rooms/:roomId/invite: Allow users to decline their pending invitations
+  * Validates invitation exists and is pending
+  * Only invited user can decline their own invitation
+  * Returns proper error messages for auth failures
+
+Bug Fix:
+- Fixed invitations/pending/route.ts ban check query (removed reference to non-existent unbannedAt field)
+- Ban records are deleted when unbanned, so any existing ban is active
