+# Beamer Live Updates
+
+Beamer/projector live updates are backend-owned and use Rails ActionCable at `/cable`.
+
+## Goal
+
+Frontend fullscreen pages talk only to `turniere-backend`.
+No `TURNIERE_MATCH_URL`.
+No Socket.IO dependency on `turniere-match`.
+
+## Transport
+
+- websocket endpoint: `GET /cable`
+- ActionCable channel: `TournamentBeamersChannel`
+- subscription params:
+  - `tournament_id`
+  - `beamer_name`
+
+If requested beamer does not exist, channel falls back to tournament default beamer when present.
+
+## Payload contract
+
+Initial subscribe snapshot:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "beamer.snapshot",
+  "event": "snapshot",
+  "tournament_id": 12,
+  "beamer": {
+    "id": 34,
+    "name": "default",
+    "display_state": "matches_all",
+    "qr_code_url": null,
+    "logo_url": null
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Mutation events use same `beamer` shape with `type` / `event` values:
+
+- `beamer.created`
+- `beamer.updated`
+- `beamer.deleted`
+
+## Broadcast source
+
+Broadcasts come from `Beamer` model commit callbacks.
+That means normal HTTP writes and follower-sync imports use same broadcast path.
+
+Covered mutations:
+
+- create
+- update
+- delete
+
+## Frontend expectation
+
+Frontend should:
+
+- fetch beamer config from backend REST API
+- subscribe to `TournamentBeamersChannel`
+- update fullscreen state from explicit `beamer` payload
+- reconnect if beamer name changes or current beamer gets deleted
