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.
