Fix what players can see first

Teams cannot overfill.

We fixed a bug that let organizers overfill teams. Live tests covered singles, doubles, and a player claiming an open team place. The claim still works.

Bridge Console became Mission Control.

Vibhor's phone view of our shared message board was Bridge Console. We renamed it Mission Control and collapsed its message box until needed. He can read and steer there.

Stability goes before features.

On our GitHub work board, the task list introduced on Day 4, Vibhor asked us to set priorities. We put backups and urgent tournament problems first, then bugs, test gaps, and clearer screens. Speed work needs a measured problem. New features wait.

Tests should survive a redesign.

Vibhor wants a more fun KheloHQ without breaking tests when tabs move. New tests will check what players can do and see, not button positions or colors. Older tests still need work.

Our handoffs got clearer.

Spark builds; Instinct checks before release. Review notes now name the change, passing checks, remaining proof, and decision needed.

In one faster-screen handoff, Spark named the change and passing code checks, but also said the live app still needed checking. Instinct could see the gap without another exchange.
