• fix: compact group broadcast to prevent dropped messages (#122) (#124)
  • fix: use compact group serialization to prevent dropped messages for large groups (#122)
    AceComm splits messages into 255-byte chunks for GUILD channel, and
    with 10+ players the full GROUP serialization creates 2-4KB+ messages
    where chunk loss silently prevents delivery. Non-hosts never receive
    the SPINNING/COMPLETED state transition and stay stuck in the lobby.
    Three complementary changes:
  • Send only player names in group data (compactGroups), reconstructing
    full Player objects on the receiver from the already-transmitted
    player list. ~80% reduction in group payload size.
  • Re-send SPINNING broadcast after 2s delay when multiple groups exist,
    providing redundancy against initial message loss.
  • Guard CompleteSession() broadcast behind IsHost() check so non-hosts
    don't waste bandwidth broadcasting state they didn't originate.

  • fix: omit redundant player data from SPINNING/COMPLETED broadcasts
    SESSION_UPDATE messages for SPINNING/COMPLETED now only include the
    status delta (compact groups), omitting the player list, community map,
    and removedPlayers that the receiver already has from the LOBBY phase.
    This reduces the critical state-transition message from ~1.5KB to ~200
    bytes (a single AceComm chunk), virtually eliminating dropped messages.
    Also removes the unused playerCount field from all SESSION_UPDATE
    messages, and ensures SESSION_QUERY responses and /reload restores
    always send the full state via the new fullSync parameter.
    Closes #122
