CydandClaude Opus 5 68f5780efa The cockpit clock counts the console's clock
A race ends when the console says so, but the countdown on the map
display was computed from the engine clock and its own idea of when the
race started - QueryPerformanceCounter from Application::gameStarted,
against the console's GetTickCount from gRunStartTick. Two clocks, two
epochs, two threads. They agreed to within a frame in the ordinary case,
which is why nobody noticed.

They do not agree at all when RP412MISSIONSECONDS is set: the override
shortens the CONSOLE's length and leaves the egg's alone, so a 25-second
test race displayed a clock counting down from 5:00 and was stopped with
4:35 still showing.

gMissionClockHook (APPMGR.h, alongside the gPerFrameHook it mirrors) lets
the console answer for the countdown when it is marshalling. NULL, or a
console that has no answer yet, falls back to exactly the old
computation - which is what the arcade -net pods, lobby members and
mission review all take, none of them running a console locally. A
member's clock is anchored by the console's RunMission arriving over the
wire anyway, so it starts within one latency of correct and only drifts
at the rate the two crystals differ.

Two things come out of it beyond the clock itself. The camera directors
switch behaviour at "30 seconds left" (DIRECTOR.cpp, RPDIRECT.cpp) and
were reading the same free-running number, so the dramatic end-of-race
camera and the actual buzzer were on different clocks too; they now
share one. And the countdown holds at 00:00 instead of going negative -
the console polls at 250 ms, so zero always arrives slightly before the
stop is dispatched.

The hook is guarded on gWatchedApp == application. Nothing ever
uninstalls it, so a player who hosts a race and then joins somebody
else's lobby still has it wired up, and in that race the console is a
bystander holding the previous mission's gLengthMs and gRunStartTick.

Verified by running a 25-second race with the menu still set to 5:00 and
photographing the map display: 00:17, 00:01, then 00:00 held while
"time expired - stopping mission" went to the log. Captures use
PrintWindow rather than CopyFromScreen - the first attempt grabbed the
desktop sitting in front of the Map window, which is somebody's screen
contents written to disk, and those files were deleted.

// The local console runs on ITS OWN THREAD, like the real console: it
// stays alive across the whole session, owns the mission clock, and
// raises the stop request when the selected length expires. The game
// thread's per-frame tick is the only place engine calls happen - it
// reports state transitions to the console thread and executes the
// requested StopMissionMessage dispatch (the engine is single
// threaded; cross-thread dispatch is not safe).
//
// NETWORK RACES (lobby owner as console): the same tick additionally
// marshals REMOTE pods over the NetTransport wire, speaking the exact
// arcade console protocol - egg chunks + ACK, state queries,
// RunMission when everyone reaches WaitingForLaunch, StopMission at
// expiry, EndMission score intake. The owner's own pod runs in
// network mode (it meshes like any pod) but is fed its egg locally
// and driven by direct engine calls, so the console never needs a
// connection to itself.
//
// Results flow in through gConsoleScoreSink (RP layer) for the local
// pod and EndMission wire messages for remote pods: the same final
// scores every pod sent the arcade console at mission end.
