'SEAT 2 READY' for the first (only) player read as an off-by-one (field report) -- host 1 is the CONSOLE in the authentic 1995 numbering, so pods start at host 2. Human-facing lines now read PLAYER 1/2/... with the host id in parentheses for cross-reference against the game[host=N] wire lines; GUI monitor regexes updated (tag-keyed as before, verified seated/ready/left in isolation).
