Built from source via a git submodule pinned to a tag, not a published image — the Dockerfile, main.ts, and manifest should never need to change for an ordinary version bump, only the submodule pin (see UPDATING.md). One volume, one interface serving the browser client + lobby/intent API + SSE stream from a single origin, no dependencies. The server-wide join secret (D14) is seeded on install, exposed via the Get Join Secret action, and blocks start behind a critical task until retrieved — the same first-set/rotation pattern as actual-budget-startos's admin password. Verified on phoenix.local: installs, the critical task correctly blocks an ordinary start, force-starting confirms the daemon binds its port and serves the client, and store.json correctly holds the install-seeded join secret. Not verified: the Get Join Secret action's execution end-to-end — start-cli's `package action run` fails with a client-side deserialization error that reproduces identically against actual-budget's already-shipped equivalent action, so this looks like a start-cli issue rather than a defect here. icon.svg is still the scaffold's hello-world placeholder — no real Station Master icon exists yet to ship in its place.

Documentation
- Rules and design docs — the rulebook implications, the multiplayer design, and the game's architecture.
What you get on StartOS
This service runs the multiplayer server: a lobby, and a table for 2 to 4 players to play a competitive or cooperative game together from their own browsers. Everything a player needs — the game itself, the lobby, and the connection back to this server — is served from the single web interface below; there is nothing else to install or configure on a player's side.
Getting set up
- Open this service's Multiplayer Table interface.
- Run the Get Join Secret action from this service's Actions menu, and copy the value it returns.
- Share that secret, and the address you opened the interface at, with everyone you want to play with. Anyone holding the secret can create a new game or join one that hasn't started yet.
- In the browser, click Multiplayer, then Create Game (or Join Game with a game code someone else created), and enter the join secret when asked.
Using Station Master
Multiplayer Table
Create or join a game, seat players (including filling empty seats with a bot), and start. Once a game is underway, this same interface is where every player plays their turns and watches the table — there is nothing else to open.
Get Join Secret
Run this whenever you need the current join secret again, or want to shut out anyone still holding an old one. Every run replaces the secret and immediately puts the new one into effect — players already seated in a game are unaffected, but the old secret stops working for creating or joining games from that point on.
