CydandClaude Fable 5 58eb25a792 In-game front end: race setup menu builds the mission egg locally ...

Starting without -egg, -net, or -mr now boots a race-setup screen
(RP_L4/RPL4FE.cpp) instead of aborting: track / vehicle / color / badge
/ time-of-day / weather / race length plus pilot name, populated from
TeslaConsole''s RPConfig.xml catalog (Death Race scenario). LAUNCH
builds the egg exactly as the console did - the RPMission.ToEggString
port, including the pilot name pre-rendered to 1bpp plasma bitmaps
(128x32 + 64x16) via GDI with the console''s auto-shrink font logic and
the verbatim ordinal graphics - writes frontend.egg, and injects it
into the standard egg-load path (new L4Application::
SetEggNotationFileName).

The menu is a GDI child of the main window (pod green-on-black, double
buffered, mouse driven, EDIT control for the name) running a modal loop
before engine init; closing the window exits cleanly. Found and fixed
along the way: the empty egg CString holds a NULL representation
(operator! is the safe emptiness test), and the modal loop needed a
queue nudge for launch clicks delivered via SendMessage.

Verified end to end: boot -> menu -> LAUNCH -> generated egg (7.5KB) ->
racing in the 1080p cockpit with score and mission clock running.
start-windowed.bat now boots into the front end.
