"Race" is Red Planet's term (it's a racing game) and rode in with the
RPL4LOBBY port. In BattleTech the gameplay unit is a MISSION. Sweep it out
of the front-end / lobby / marshal code + the roadmap and steamification
digest: rename the public API BTLobby_Push/PullRaceResults ->
Push/PullMissionResults, the internal PrimeHostedRace -> PrimeHostedMission,
the deferred marshal InstallNetworkRace -> InstallNetworkMission, and the
user-facing strings ("STEAM MISSION LOBBY", "L A U N C H M I S S I O N",
"HOST/JOIN STEAM MISSION"). Comments follow. No behavior change; both gates
(default + BT412_STEAM) still build + link clean.

// btl4fe.hpp -- BT412 in-game front end: local mission-egg builder.
|
|
//
|
|
// Replaces the external operator console for solo / host play: a mission is
|
|
// configured from an in-process catalog and the mission egg is built LOCALLY
|
|
// (the exact NotationFile the console used to stream), then fed through the
|
|
// standard -egg load path (L4Application::SetEggNotationFileName).
|
|
//
|
|
// This is the Workstream B foundation (docs/BT412-ROADMAP.md Phase 5); the
|
|
// interactive on-screen menu, the LocalConsole marshal, and the results
|
|
// screen build on top of this egg builder.
