CydandClaude Opus 5 ef81b75058 A spool and its egg are one artifact
Cyd's question, and the answer is yes. A spool records what MOVED and
never the track it moved through, so it cannot be replayed without the egg
the race was run on - and frontend.egg is rewritten by the next race set
up on the machine. A recording kept on its own therefore stops being
playable the moment somebody picks a different track, silently, and by
then the egg that would have opened it is gone.

So the egg is saved with it: SPOOLS\<timestamp>.egg beside
SPOOLS\<timestamp>.spl, and last.egg beside last.spl. The console sets the
path, because the console is where the egg's name is actually known.

And playback looks for it. Given no -egg it takes the spool's name, swaps
the extension, and uses that if it is there. Naming the egg by hand is not
just tedious, it is dangerous: a spool played against a DIFFERENT track
loads perfectly happily and shows nonsense, and frontend.egg is exactly
the wrong egg by default because it belongs to whatever was set up last.

Verified on the way here: the header this build writes reads back exactly
as playback expects it - major version 3, host 2 local (the camera), host
3 remote (the racer, matching every packet's fromHost), 8263 packets after
a 24 byte header ending precisely at EOF. Playback then loaded it with no
complaint about application ID or version, which is the check that failed
before.

// The review build already records by teeing: L4SpoolingNetworkManager
// spools each packet and then hands it to the ordinary receive path. What
// tied that to a review build was never the recording - it was where the
// buffer came from. MissionReviewApplicationManager is only a pool
// allocator, and SpoolFile takes whatever buffer it is handed, so a
// recorder that owns one buffer needs none of it.
//
// Two things a live recorder must do that the review one did not:
//
// It must not touch the packet. The spooler restamps each packet with
// local arrival time, which is right - playback paces off those stamps and
// packets from different senders carry different clock origins, so they
// have to be put on one clock. But doing it in place would overwrite the
// sender's timestamp that Simulation::ReadUpdateRecord feeds to
// RP412NETCLOCK and the dead reckoner, which is exactly the input behind
// the projection tick. So it stamps the COPY, in the spool, after writing.
//
// And it must not take the race down with it. SpoolFile::SpoolPacket
// answers a full buffer with PostQuitMessage, which for a review is a fair
// end to a replay and for a live host is killing the race being recorded.
// The recorder checks the room first and simply stops.
