Summary

A postponed battle now only moves the battle. It no longer gives either side extra preparation time.

Each postponement starts a 24h freeze (war.battle_voting.postpone_freeze_hours) on every faction in the war: leaders, subjects and joined allies. This covers vote stalls, the postponement after a failed autoresolve, and /war admin skipday. A second postponement adds another 24h on top of whatever is left.

While the freeze is on:

  • Frozen: regiment expansions, installation construction, and guild upgrades marked war-related: true. None are marked yet; the key is documented in upgrades.yml.
  • Mercenary companies: formation, slot expansions and company upgrades are frozen. This applies to companies hosted by a frozen faction and to companies with an active contract for one.
  • VFBuilders projects: projects started by members of a frozen faction or company hold through VFBuilders' new ConstructionFreeze service (needs VFBuilders 2.0.4, Let other plugins pause station countdowns VFBuilders#23). With an older VFBuilders, SimpleFactions logs a warning and carries on.
  • Hiring: frozen factions cannot be offered contracts, sign open offers, or accept slot increases.
  • Raid repair locks: locks that are still running move back by the same 24h.
  • Still running: upkeep, wages and contract expiry.

Both sides get a chat message when the freeze starts. Queue items in the military, installation, guild and company GUIs show a Frozen: battle postponed (Xh Ym left) line.

The freeze end time is saved with the war (preparationFrozenUntil), so it survives restarts.

Testing

  • mvn clean verify: 2226 tests pass. New tests are PreparationFreezeTest, PreparationFreezeMercenaryTest and a WarMapper round trip.
  • End-to-end test on TFMCDev, results posted below.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Postponing a battle freezes construction and military preparation for both factions for a configurable period, defaulting to 24 hours. Further postponements extend the freeze, and active raid repair locks are extended.
    • During a freeze, war-related upgrades and company growth pause, and mercenary hiring and slot increases are blocked for affected factions. Relevant menus display freeze status.
    • Added support for construction-freeze integration with VFBuilders.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Freeze timing is preserved when war data is saved and restored.

Each postponement (vote stall, failed autoresolve, admin skip day)
freezes, for 24h, every build timer of the factions in that war:
regiment expansions, installation construction, war-related guild
upgrades, and the formation, slot and upgrade queues of mercenary
companies they host or hire. VFBuilders projects of their members hold
through the new ConstructionFreeze service. Raid repair locks move back
by the same amount and no new mercenaries can be hired meanwhile.
Upkeep and wages keep running.

Needs VFBuilders 2.0.4 for the vehicle project freeze; older builds are
skipped with a warning.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Battle postponements now apply a configurable preparation freeze to participating factions, persist its end time, and extend active raid repair locks. The freeze pauses selected build and mercenary progression, blocks mercenary hiring, and appears in queue lore and VFBuilders construction checks.

Changes

Postponement Preparation Freeze

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure and apply the freeze
src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/Cache.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/loaders/ConfigLoader.java, src/main/resources/war.yml, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/war/core/War.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/database/WarData.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/war/core/WarMapper.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/war/freeze/PreparationFreeze.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/war/campaign/runtime/BattleScheduleService.java, src/test/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/war/core/WarMapperTest.java, src/test/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/war/freeze/PreparationFreezeTest.java
The configured duration is loaded and persisted with the war's freeze end time. Battle postponement and skipped battle days apply the freeze. The implementation extends live raid repair locks and notifies online members of both war sides.
Pause progression and restrict hiring
src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/guild/upgrade/Upgrade.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/guild/Guild.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/objects/Faction.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/mercenary/company/MercenaryCompany.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/mercenary/contract/ContractHandler.java, src/main/resources/Guilds/upgrades.yml, src/test/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/war/freeze/PreparationFreezeMercenaryTest.java
Frozen factions skip military and installation ticks. War-related guild upgrades and mercenary company growth pause, while company contract timers continue. Hiring offers and acceptance are denied for a frozen hirer, and slot increases are denied; slot decreases are not subject to the new freeze check.
Show freeze status and register construction checks
pom.xml, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/SimpleFactions.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/managers/inventory/CompanyCreator.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/managers/inventory/GuildCreator.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/managers/inventory/InstallationCreator.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/managers/inventory/MilitaryCreator.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/war/freeze/VfBuildersConstructionFreeze.java
The VFBuilders version changes to 2.0.4. When VFBuilders is enabled, startup registers the construction-freeze provider. Active queue items and construction icons can show freeze lore, and the provider returns a freeze reason for a frozen constructor.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ba9aa

A reachable war can leave its target faction progressing during the freeze, undermining the intended preparation-time fairness in this narrow case. Correct the participant ID collection before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ba9aa

The freeze spans multiple factions and construction systems. Its enforcement may be inconsistent when the builder plugin lacks the required API or a project's owner cannot be matched to a faction. Neither condition is a confirmed construction bypass.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The newly registered construction check converts a constructor UUID to an offline-player name. If that name is unavailable or no longer matches stored membership, the check returns no freeze for a potentially frozen constructor.
  • Medium · security · observed: When VFBuilders is enabled without the required API, SimpleFactions logs a warning and does not register its construction-freeze service. Construction enforcement in that deployment therefore depends on VFBuilders behavior that is not established here.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A postponement affects both war sides and their participating factions, plus companies hosted by or actively contracted to a frozen faction. A construction identity mismatch would affect projects checked through that constructor identity; a missing provider could affect every such project in the affected deployment.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — If VFBuilders relies on the registered service and permits construction when it receives no freeze reason, a frozen member whose UUID resolves to no matching stored name could continue a project. The local null-to-no-freeze path is visible; the required identity and VFBuilders consumer conditions are unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — SimpleFactions owns the war-freeze decision and publishes a reason through the VFBuilders service boundary. Local membership lookup is name-based and case-insensitive; the external plugin owns invocation and no-provider behavior, which are not evidenced here.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Persisting the deadline and deriving the freeze from active wars supports restart and expiry, but warning-only operation with an older builder plugin can leave local progression frozen without a registered construction policy.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Verify VFBuilders' coverage and behavior when no provider is registered, and make the required version or an explicit degraded-mode decision part of deployment validation.
  • proposed — Resolve construction ownership by a stable UUID or establish and test an identity contract for unavailable and changed offline-player names before treating a missing name as no freeze.

TFMCDev end-to-end test

The dev server ran this branch with VFBuilders #23. Both plugins enabled cleanly, and the log showed [SimpleFactions] VFBuilders projects freeze with postponed battles.

Setup: a test war between Fingers and Folenis, with Islanders as a control. Each faction got a militia expansion with 3600s left. There were two VFBuilders projects with 3600s left: one started by a bot in Fingers, one by a control player outside the war.

Postponement: the bot ran /war admin schedule 900 skipday.

  • The bot received the freeze message.
  • The battle day moved to 2026-09-28.
  • The saved war has preparationFrozenUntil set 24h ahead.

About 150s later, the stopped server's saved state showed:

Timer Time left
Fingers regiment queue 3228 (held)
Folenis regiment queue 3228 (held)
Islanders regiment queue (control) 3077 (kept counting)
VFBuilders project, Fingers bot 3228 (held)
VFBuilders project, control 3077 (kept counting)

Each held timer stopped at the moment of the postponement. The control timers ran for the whole window. The test war, queues and stations were then removed from dev.

🟡 Minor · Include the war subject in the freeze IDs. · PreparationFreeze.java:149-158

src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/simplefactions/war/freeze/PreparationFreeze.java:149-158
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Include the war subject in the freeze IDs.

PreparationFreeze.participantIds collects participant subjects but never adds War.getSubjectFactionId(). A reachable war can store that faction only in subjectFactionId. The faction then remains outside the freeze, so its military and installation progression can continue.

Suggested fix
 		for (Faction faction : BattleSideMembers.collectParticipatingFactions(war.getDefenders())) {
 			if (faction.getId() != null) ids.add(faction.getId().toLowerCase());
 		}
+		if (war.getSubjectFactionId() != null) {
+			ids.add(war.getSubjectFactionId().toLowerCase());

@coderabbitai On the outside-diff note about subjectFactionId: leaving it as is on purpose. That field is the war-goal target (e.g. the vassal being released). It only fights, and so only gains from preparation time, when it sits on a side as a leader, subject or joined secondary. BattleSideMembers.collectParticipatingFactions builds battle rosters from exactly those, and the freeze uses the same set, so what gets frozen matches who actually fights.

@Drefvelin, you are right. I have now verified the code. BattleSideMembers.collectParticipatingFactions includes leaders, subjects, and joined secondaries. PreparationFreeze uses that same set for both sides, and BattlePoolService uses it to select fighters. subjectFactionId does not independently make a faction a fighter. I withdraw the outside-diff note.


✏️ Learnings added
Learnt from: Drefvelin
URL: https://github.com/TF-Minecraft/SimpleFactions/pull/60

Timestamp: 2026-09-26T22:02:18.646Z
Learning: In SimpleFactions, `War.subjectFactionId` identifies a war-goal target, not an automatic battle participant. `BattleSideMembers.collectParticipatingFactions` includes each side's leaders, subjects, and joined secondaries. `PreparationFreeze` uses that participant set for both sides, so a war-goal target freezes only if it also participates on a side.
