// btl4console -- the in-process LocalConsole marshal (BT_GLASS only).
//
// The arcade operator console is just a TCP peer speaking a documented
// wire protocol (tools/btconsole.py, constants T2-verified via
// BT_NET_PROBE): connect to each pod's -net console port, stream the
// mission egg as 1040-byte chunked ReceiveEggFileMessage packets
// (NUL-separated lines), wait the settle, send RunMissionMessage twice,
// STAY CONNECTED, own the mission clock, and send StopMissionMessage at
// expiry.  This marshal plays that console from a worker thread over
// loopback (and to remote pods when hosting) -- the engine sees a real
// connected console and runs the stock ladder; NO engine hooks.
//
// The thread touches no engine state.  At mission end (+grace) it
// relaunches the front-end menu (per-mission process relaunch -- the
// reconstructed gBT* globals do not survive in-process re-init) and
// exits the process.
//

//
// Start the marshal: egg file path (text form; converted to the NUL wire
// image), comma-separated pod console addresses ("127.0.0.1:1501,..."),
// and the mission length driving the stop clock.  Returns 0 on thread
// start.

// exit the current process.  Shared by the marshal's mission-end path and
// WinMain's post-mission tail.
