Commit 31-player lobby support (untested, needs follow-up)

Carry the remaining CTCL, lobby, and player-limit updates onto the new moreplayers branch.

This change set is intentionally marked untested and may still be broken. It needs follow-up validation and likely further work before it should be considered stable.
