The DOSBox-X preservation pods run the original DOS builds of BattleTech
4.10 / Red Planet 4.10 inside an emulator whose bridged NIC is enumerated
100 above the host pod's last octet. A new checkbox on each game page
(RP Death Race / Martian Football, BT Free For All / No Return) shifts
every siteconfig address the page uses by +100 so the same pages control
either version of the games:
- Munga game connections (port 1501) target host+100; toggling the box
drops and reconnects any requested pods at the new address.
- Mission egg player and camera entries carry the shifted address.
- The checkbox locks while a mission is loaded/running, like the other
mission properties.
Launcher / site-management traffic is untouched -- those services still
run on the pod host itself. Pages share a pod's MungaGame, so the most
recent page to toggle or enable wins if two pages fight over one pod.
Verified end-to-end against vPOD: netstat shows the game connection move
127.0.0.1 -> 127.0.0.101 -> 127.0.0.1 as the box is toggled, and the egg
received by vPOD carries pilot=127.0.0.101. All 103 diff tests pass.

Co-locate the two cockpit-pod projects into a single repository:
- Console/ : TeslaConsole, the net48 WinForms operator console (decompiled
reconstruction) plus its differential + catalog test suite.
- Launcher/ : TeslaLauncher, the net6 pod-side Service + Agent rewrite.
Adds a combined TeslaSuite.sln, root README documenting the shared wire
contract (and its current duplication, the main follow-up), and a root
.gitignore. Histories were not preserved per request; this is a fresh start
from the current working state of both projects.
