v0.5.0 — multiplayer Phases 2 and 3: a server that runs a game and survives being restarted

Phases 0-1 shipped in v0.4.0 (seat/identity split, per-player turn state, the Session boundary).
This lands Phase 2 (server core, one game, no lobby) and Phase 3 (persistence and resumption) per
docs/architecture/multiplayer.md §12. Phases 4-6 (lobby/reconnection, the 22 opponent-directed
cards, StartOS packaging) are still ahead.

Phase 2: src/server/session.ts hosts a game in pure logic (no sockets) on top of game.ts's existing
Game/submit/currentActor/actionMenu; it verifies seat === currentActor(game) itself before calling
submit, since submit() trusts its caller and a server can't. src/server/http.ts and index.ts add
POST /api/game, GET /api/stream (SSE, per-seat), POST /api/intent, and static serving of dist/.
src/sim/frame-delta.ts is a purpose-built per-seat board delta for one live push at a time. Found
and fixed along the way: actionMenu(game, seat) only used seat for the hand field, so a server
computing every connected seat's Menu would have handed the acting player's legal moves to a
waiting seat. Verified with a live end-to-end smoke test (2-player game, two SSE streams, a
rejected intent from the wrong seat, an idempotent resend) plus test/server/session.test.ts and
test/redaction.test.ts. Not verified: an actual browser (none available in this environment).

Phase 3: src/server/persistence.ts writes game.json and turn-timings.json, atomic-rewrite-then-
rename. game.ts gained fromMultiplayerSave, fixing a narration-attribution bug found while testing
it (fromSave's replay loop drops the actor argument, invisible in solitaire, unreadable the moment
there's more than one seat — fromSave itself still has this gap, deliberately untouched). Verified
live: server killed and restarted mid-game, both seats reconnected exactly where they left off.

Two rules bugs found while building this: the New Train phase never implemented its car-placement
round (every car of every train was placed by the Superintendent alone, in every mode, all along —
now reads the round position off tray.consist.length); and victory conditions are now one shared,
configurable GameConfig set across solitaire/competitive/coop instead of a fixed length lookup and
a dead firstToTarget condition.

Also folds in the three fixes already released on the patch line as v0.4.9b/c/d: a switching
train's crew badge failing to draw once it left the Office square, an unload that always took the
westmost car regardless of which was picked, and a legal decision that could render with zero
buttons.

docs/testing/0.5.0-test-plan.md and three reported-bug save files (docs/station-master-seed*.json)
included for reproducibility. tools/jitsi-harness/ deliberately left untracked — unrelated
side-project work, not part of this release. 635 tests, 0 failures.

Directions follow the commodity: coal originates at a Mine Tipple and is consumed at a Power Plant;
produce ships out; a warehouse and a refinery do both. This gives §9 all three of its cases —
outbound-only, inbound-only, and both.
**"Freight House"** (§9.3, Appendix A) is not a card. It is the collective term for a freight facility
that loads *and* unloads — the Grocer's Warehouse and the Oil Refinery. §9.3's "Passenger Facilities
and Freight Houses permit cars to move each direction" therefore names exactly those two.
**"Freight House" IS a card** (corrected v0.5.0) — a sixth industry, dealt 6 copies, one Laborer and
one slot each direction. An earlier pass here read §9.3/Appendix A's "Passenger Facilities and
Freight Houses permit cars to move each direction" as meaning "Freight House" was only ever a
*collective term* for the Grocer's Warehouse and the Oil Refinery, never a card of its own — that
reading was wrong; the engine deals it as a real sixth industry (`content.ts`'s `freightHouse`
profile) and this table follows the engine.
<!-- TODO v0.5.0: Mine Tipple, Produce Shed and Power Plant above (3/3/4, 2/2/3, 3/3/4) were NOT
re-verified against the engine in this pass — only Grocer's Warehouse, Oil Refinery and Freight
House were. `mineTipple` and `powerPlant` in `content.ts` are also base 1/1/1, same as the three
corrected here, so these three rows and the "Throughput" reasoning below (built on the OLD
2–3-Laborer numbers) may be stale too. Flagged in TODO.md rather than silently rewritten — this
needs the same kind of decision Jesse made for Grocer's/Refinery/Freight House, not an assumption
that the same correction applies. -->
