The core 'single-player without the operator console' capability: a
zero-argument launch now builds its own mission and plays.
- game/reconstructed/btl4fe.{hpp,cpp}: the BattleTech catalog (8 maps,
8 mechs + variants, colors) and BTFeMission_WriteEgg -- emits the exact
console egg format (verified against content/MP.EGG): [mission],
[ordinals] + the 4 static rank-place plasma bitmaps, [pilots],
per-pilot loadout sections, and [largebitmap]/[smallbitmap] with
GDI-rendered 128x32 / 64x16 pilot-name plasma bitmaps.
- L4APP.H: SetEggNotationFileName / SetNetworkCommonFlatAddress setters
(from RP412) so the front end feeds the standard -egg load path.
- btl4main.cpp WinMain: front-end mode -- no -egg and no -net builds
frontend.egg locally (BTFrontEnd_Run) and boots it. -egg/-net runs
are untouched.
Verified: no-args launch -> '[frontend] built frontend.egg' -> mission
loads and runs; the generated egg is structurally identical to MP.EGG
(32x32/16x16 name bitmaps with real glyph pixels, all sections present).
Remaining in Phase 5 (deferred): the interactive on-screen catalog menu,
the in-process LocalConsole marshal (mission clock + StopMission at
expiry + single-binary loop), and the score-intake/results screen (new
for BT -- no mission-end flow exists yet). (Phase 5 of the roadmap)

// interactive on-screen menu, the LocalConsole marshal, and the results
