play_solo hardcoded -egg ARENA1.EGG, bypassing the miniconsole front end that already carries the full pickers: SOLO/RAW-SOLO/HOST-LAN/JOIN-LAN modes, 8 maps, all 18 mechs, 4 experience levels, colours/badges/patches, drop zones, advanced damage, time-of-day, weather and mission length. The bat now launches zero-arg (BT_PLATFORM=glass -> the menu); the menu relaunches the exe with the generated egg and the cockpit/gauge env (BT_START_INSIDE/BT_DEV_GAUGES) inherits into the mission child. Menu-boot verified with the bat's exact env; the solo menu->mission->menu cycle was verified at FE landing. README + the btoperator generated-bat template updated to match.
