Findings from TeslaConsole.RedPlanet and L4NET: the pod lifecycle
(egg chunks/ACK, RunMission, telemetry, results), the egg as the entire
mission definition (NotationFile text incl. pre-rendered plasma name
bitmaps), the RPConfig.xml catalog, and the key topology finding -
every pod gets the same egg and builds a deterministic full TCP mesh
from the ordered pilots list (connect to earlier entries, listen for
later). Maps 1:1 onto Steam: lobby owner = console, SteamIDs = pilot
addresses, ISteamNetworkingSockets P2P = the mesh, with a NetTransport
seam at L4NET mirroring the RIOBase pattern. Implementation options and
open decisions listed for signoff.
