Official: research 09 §3.1 — after elimination the client keeps observing (self_dead_dialog KEEP_WATCH,
DeadAutoObDn { obIndex, state, preparation }, FindFirstAvailObTarget). Until 0.2.0 every phase reset cleared
an eliminated player's watch: in 回合开始 / 机变 / 休整期 it saw its own empty board, in battle the first field.
Server (server/match/match/watch.js): Match.watchPref (viewer → the player of its last manual g.watch: a prep
scout, a single-player field, or the new optional g.watch playerId on a shared 联防 / boss pair field — PR
#189's review point); _watchTargetOf = that player while still in, else the first player still in (seat
order, AI seats included); startRound scouts its board (_followScout, kept through 机变 and 休整期), both
combat modes and the boss fields start on its field, a resync / a spectator joining in prep gets the board,
a followed player who quits hands over at once. Client: the screen adopts the pushed board like a 前往查看 tap
(battle/observe.js followedScout; the stale-field fix of PR #189), keeps it through the prep phases (no camera
flight home and back), a spectator no longer asks for the first player itself; g.watch sends the tapped row.
Overlap with PR #189 (not merged): the same preference chain; differences — the fallback includes AI seats
(a lone human with AI teammates had nobody to follow), shared fields record the tapped playerId.
Golden unchanged. Tests: test/match/feedback5-watch-follow.test.js (new, 9), spectator.test.js updated (the
spectator follows the player it scouted). Docs: design/network.md, PLAYING.md.
The prep scout of another player's board carries their 整备区 hand and 临时整备区 as units on the bench rows (like the own prep bench), the equipped items of their operators, their strategy in the drawer and their effects column (the official mode shows a teammate's hand too). The scout signature includes the hand / temp slots, so a moved card refreshes the watcher. Closes#128. Contributed by @2321Robin.
- the strip, its counts / layers / tiers and the bond popups show the player whose field or half is on screen, with an
amber "👁 name" tag; live in-battle layers (runner bondLayers, ≤ 999) and the finished battle's gains until SETTLE
- shared fields follow the ‹ › half's player; 全景 shows your own when you fight there, else the picked teammate [ASSUMED]
- a card's bond chips and popups belong to the unit's owner; a teammate's popup lists their operators on the field
