map dropdown = the AUTHENTIC console catalog; the relay names a phantom-map stall instead of holding silently

THE 40-MINUTE OUTAGE'S REAL FIX.  The GUI's map dropdown offered every RES
name passing the type-14+26 existence check -- which includes INTERNAL
FRAGMENTS: artrucks is an include-node of arena1 (PROGRESS_LOG map anatomy:
arena1 -> {arenall -> cavern, artrucks}), not a mission.  Picking it stalled
every pod's mission load forever with no error anywhere, and End/Re-arm kept
restoring the poisoned egg -- 22:02..22:49, three "different" failures, one
cause.

  * eggmodel.CONSOLE_MAPS: the Mac 4.10 operator console's own adventure-tree
    catalog (Console.ini; the same 8 the solo menu ships in btl4fe.cpp kMaps):
    cavern grass rav polar3 polar4 arena1 arena2 dbase.  ValueSets.maps now
    offers exactly that, catalog order, filtered to what the RES carries
    (permissive fallback only if the intersection is empty -- a foreign RES
    must not present zero maps).  artrucks is the one fragment the old filter
    let through; now hidden.
  * The relay WARNS at egg load/reload when the mission names a non-catalog
    map (the camo-color-warning precedent: hand-edited eggs still work, the
    operator just cannot miss it).
  * The launch hold gains the PHANTOM-MISSION SIGNATURE diagnostic: 0/N ready
    for 60s means every pod is stalled in shared mission content -- one line
    naming the egg's map and the recovery (End Mission -> fix map -> Re-arm),
    instead of the silent 10s HELD drumbeat the operator stared at for 40
    minutes.  Hint re-arms per launch.

VERIFIED: new suite scratchpad/test_map_guard.py (5 checks: catalog exact +
ordered, artrucks hidden, warning fires on a doctored egg, silent on a real
one, the 60s hint names the map); all five console suites pass.  Python-only.

(While placing the hint, a blind text-insert broke the launch-received block's
indentation -- caught by py_compile before anything ran, repaired, and the
whole area re-verified by the rearm suite.)
