### 3. GameWebSocketContext.jsx - Updated Context Value Export

Updated the context value to export all new methods:

```javascript
const value = {
  socket: socketRef.current,
  isConnected,
  gameState,
  players,
  boardData,
  currentTurn,
  error,
  isGamemaster,
  gameStarted,
  pendingPlayers,
  approvalStatus,
  // Connection management
  connect,
  disconnect,
  // Methods
  rollDice,
  sendMessage,
  setReady,
  leaveGame,
  approvePlayer,
  rejectPlayer,
  submitAnswer,           // ✅ NEW
  submitPositionGuess,    // ✅ NEW
  approveJoker,           // ✅ NEW
  rejectJoker,            // ✅ NEW
  addEventListener,
  removeEventListener,
};
```

---

### 4. GameScreen.jsx - Fixed Action Method Calls

**Location:** `SerpentRace_Frontend/src/pages/Game/GameScreen.jsx`

#### Fixed handleSubmitAnswer
**Before:**
```javascript
const handleSubmitAnswer = useCallback((answer) => {
  if (currentCard?.id) {
    submitAnswer(currentCard.id, answer)  // ❌ Wrong parameters
  }
}, [currentCard?.id, submitAnswer])
```

**After:**
```javascript
const handleSubmitAnswer = useCallback((answer) => {
  console.log('📝 Válasz beküldve:', answer)
  submitAnswer(answer)  // ✅ Correct - backend extracts gameCode from context
}, [submitAnswer])
```

#### Fixed handleApproveJoker
**Before:**
```javascript
const handleApproveJoker = useCallback(async (jokerRequest) => {
  approveJoker(jokerRequest.playerId, jokerRequest.cardId, jokerRequest.requestId)  // ❌ Wrong parameters
  setIsJokerModalOpen(false)
}, [approveJoker])
```

**After:**
```javascript
const handleApproveJoker = useCallback(async (jokerRequest) => {
  console.log('✅ Joker feladat jóváhagyva:', jokerRequest)
  approveJoker(jokerRequest.requestId)  // ✅ Correct - only requestId needed
  setIsJokerModalOpen(false)
}, [approveJoker])
```

#### Fixed handleRejectJoker
**Before:**
```javascript
const handleRejectJoker = useCallback(async (jokerRequest) => {
  rejectJoker(jokerRequest.playerId, jokerRequest.cardId, jokerRequest.requestId)  // ❌ Wrong parameters
  setIsJokerModalOpen(false)
}, [rejectJoker])
```

**After:**
```javascript
const handleRejectJoker = useCallback(async (jokerRequest) => {
  console.log('❌ Joker feladat elutasítva:', jokerRequest)
  rejectJoker(jokerRequest.requestId, 'Joker rejected by gamemaster')  // ✅ Correct
  setIsJokerModalOpen(false)
}, [rejectJoker])
```

## Architecture Benefits

### ✅ Centralized Event Handling
All WebSocket events are handled in the context, ensuring:
- Single source of truth for game state
- Consistent state updates across all components
- Easy debugging with centralized logging

### ✅ Custom Event Bridge
Events are re-emitted as CustomEvents via `window.dispatchEvent()`, allowing:
- GameScreen to add specific UI logic without modifying context
- Separation of concerns (state management vs UI presentation)
- Multiple components can listen to the same events independently

### ✅ Persistent Connection
Socket connection persists across navigation (Lobby → GameScreen), ensuring:
- No disconnections during page transitions
- Gamemaster can start game without socket dropping
- Real-time updates continue seamlessly

### ✅ Type Safety & Validation
All action methods include:
- Connection state checks (`isConnected`)
- Authorization checks (`isGamemaster` for approval methods)
- Error logging for debugging
- Boolean return values for success/failure
