Show progress during initial admin and seat-control submissions; retain exact recovery instructions for uncertain requests and explicit retries. Keep seat recovery and handover confirmations above the table until Continue without blocking gameplay. Use readable 16px text and 44px controls.
Verified isolated checkpoint: types, lint, 5381 offline tests, 52 HTTP tests and build. Local delayed/lost-response browser QA covered admin creation, durable retry, handover and seat recovery, mobile readability and saved-seat restoration. Existing 2098 rooms and 4455 seats preserved. Deployment acceptance follows separately.
Configure supported rules/modules and AI seats or assign an existing human as host without granting private-seat access. Use genuine unused-lobby checks, existing engine actions, live authorization/version/pause/seat fences and atomic audit receipts. Preserve exact account-bound retries across refresh and confirm completed operations after game start without resetting play.
Verified types, lint, 5260 offline tests, 52 HTTP tests and build. Eleven authenticated HTTP groups and independent privacy/persistence review passed. Browser QA confirmed one AI and audit after a lost response and refresh/retry, persisted rules and AI configuration, and readable 1280/390px layouts. All existing rooms and seats preserved. Actual authenticated production administrator acceptance remains pending authorized QA operator access.
