Jesse.MarkowitzandClaude Opus 5 06db36e5b5 v0.7.0 — four game types, a lobby you can read and leave, and a multiplayer game that makes a sound
The multiplayer set-up, the lobby, the start of a game, and four signals a remote client had never
been sent. Reasoning, the preset table and what was verified how: CHANGELOG.md.

- Co-op, Competitive, Cutthroat, Solitaire and Custom, on both screens, from one shared block —
  they had drifted, and each was missing a question the other asked.
- A player reads the whole rule set before taking a seat, may leave a lobby or a running game, and
  keeps a seat across a reload. The host may clear a chair. The browser remembers every game it is
  in, not just the last one.
- The start of a game is drawn: a handoff beat, an announcement, the code and type in the header.
- Sound, the timetable flash, announcements and the just-drawn badge now reach a remote client;
  justDrawn goes to the seat that drew it and nobody else.
- Played on StartOS, which found the rest: an Extra belongs to the player who played it, the board
  never named the Superintendent, bot seats were reported as absent players, and rule section
  numbers are out of every string a player reads.

Also carries the previous session's Heavy Grade documentation work — asked again, answer unchanged.

/**
* The four game types (`src/web/presets.ts`) — Jesse's design, 2026-08-23.
*
* These numbers are a DESIGN, not an implementation detail: they say what Co-op asks of a table and
* what Cutthroat refuses to. Pinned here so that changing one is a decision somebody makes on
* purpose rather than something a refactor can do quietly.
