CydandClaude Fable 5 5892af318e Steam lobby: host, join, room, and launch into a marshaled race
RPL4LOBBY implements the multiplayer front door on ISteamMatchmaking.
The setup menu grows HOST STEAM RACE / JOIN STEAM RACE buttons when
the Steam wire is live; hosting creates a tagged public lobby, joining
finds one. Every member publishes FakeIP + fake ports + persona +
loadout as member data; the room screen lists members (host marked)
and gives the owner a launch button.

Launching writes a nonced go-roster into lobby data. Each pod
registers every peer with the Steam transport (two-port peer table:
engine console/game ports map to Steam fake ports on connect) and
enters the race: the owner through the hosted-race path - it builds
the multi-pilot egg from real personas and loadouts and its console
marshals everyone - and members as network pods that boot straight
into WaitingForEgg for the owner to feed over the wire.

The lobby outlives races: members loop back through WinMain into the
room (no local console needed - MissionCompleted is waived for member
races), and the owner returns to the room after its results screen.
Leaving the lobby clears the hosted-race priming.

Verified on this box: menu buttons appear under RP412STEAM=1, hosting
creates a lobby on the Steam backend, the room runs and leaves back to
the menu; single-player cycling and the LAN hosted race both still
pass. Full three-account mesh test is next, on real hardware.
