Contributions summary:Rafael primarily focused on improving the Pitaya game server framework. Their contributions include removing error logging on client disconnects, enhancing the pipeline to receive decoded arguments, and adding a default struct validator pipeline for handler arguments. They also added a default logger to the context for both handlers and remotes, and provided an example using the default logger. Further work involved fixing the validator when the argument is nil.
