BTGame mirrors RPGame - same GameStateData/state-machine/NetworkScan engine
driving each pod's MungaGame (take ownership, stream egg on WaitingForEgg,
Run/Abort/Stop, countdown) - with the BT differences: ApplicationID.BTL4, a
pilots grid carrying Mech/Camo/Patch/Badge/Experience, an Advanced Damage
checkbox in place of RP's Score Compression, and the Mech* in-match messages
recorded via BTMissionRecorder into BTMissionResults (.btm, gzip +
BinaryFormatter like .rpm; scores are 1000-based like RP). Free For All and
No Return share the pane; the mode selects the pilots' role. BTDefaults
persists per-mode operator defaults to BTDefaults.btd (no dialog yet).
RPGame's dead decompile members (sStopToIdleStates, IsAllPodsAppState) were
not carried over.
TeslaConsoleForm no longer assumes RP: the "AppID != 0 -> Pod Not Running RP"
check becomes a GameTag map (RPL4 -> RP, BTL4 -> BT, otherwise Unknown Pod
Application) feeding the per-game status strings, and the Games menu gains
BattleTech: Free For All / No Return.
Deferred to phase 4: mech/arena art, BT defaults dialog, BT score-sheet
print document, Apps.xml BT411 product, live-pod verification.

New TeslaConsole.BattleTech namespace mirroring TeslaConsole.RedPlanet's
mission layer: BTMission/BTFreeForAllMission (egg serializer; RP wire framing
and ordinal bitmaps reused verbatim), BTParticipant/BTPlayer/BTCamera (BT
participant fields: advancedDamage, experience, vehicleValue, patch, role),
and the BTConfig/BTScenario/BTMap/BTVehicle/BTWeather/BTRole catalog loaded
from BattleTech\BTConfig.xml (reconstructed from the Mac Console 4.10 ini BT
tree). Free For All and No Return share one mission class - both send
scenario=freeforall; the mode is the role assigned to each pilot.
BTGoldenEggTests (7 tests, recovered-only) diff the generated egg
field-by-field against two eggs captured from the original consoles
(cavern.egg, TESTARN.EGG): order-independent per-section compare with
font-rendered bitmap pixel rows excluded, ordinal art byte-exact vs
TESTARN.EGG, EggFileMessage framing reassembly, role de-dup, No Return role
semantics, and shipped-catalog contents. Invoker gains BTEggString/
BTEggFraming reflection cases.
