Players can now host and join over the internet without port-forwarding
via Unity Gaming Services Relay + Lobby, exposed through the unified
Multiplayer Services SDK (Sessions API).
- OnlineSessionManager: anonymous auth, CreateSessionAsync (public,
relay-backed), QuerySessionsAsync server browser, JoinSessionByIdAsync,
and session leave wired into the existing net-stop teardown.
- Per-install auth profile derived from the project path
(mirror_<sha1(dataPath)>) so junction-mirror clones get distinct UGS
player ids, avoiding the same-machine 409 LobbyConflict on join.
- Install com.unity.services.multiplayer 2.2.4 (pulls Relay/Lobby/
Authentication/Core) and attach OnlineSessionManager to the
NetworkManager in Main.
Loopback dev flow (NetworkBootstrap H/C/J/K) is left untouched; the
online path is additive. MatchManager and gameplay are unchanged since
Sessions starts the host/client through NGO as before.

Mid-match joiners now spawn a dedicated empty Spectator prefab (NetworkObject
+ SpectatorSetup only) instead of a fully stripped Player prefab. The FreeCam
rig is a standalone scene object in Main, so the spectator needs no avatar body,
renderer, collider, or CharacterController -- eliminating the leftover-body
artifact and the fragile per-peer strip path entirely.
- SpectatorSetup.cs (new): owner binds GameModeManager.BindSpectator (FreeCam-only)
- Spectator.prefab (new): empty avatar (Transform + NetworkObject + SpectatorSetup),
registered in DefaultNetworkPrefabs, wired on MatchManager in Main
- GameModeManager: add BindSpectator/BuildSpectatorModes; drop the spectator
branch from BindLocalPlayer; ReleaseToNoPlayer frees the cursor on teardown
- MatchManager: independent entropy-seeded RNG for fair hunter pick (was sharing
the global engine RNG and always landing on the same client); spawn the
spectator prefab for mid-match joiners; cursor-safe return-to-Main teardown
- FreeCamController: guard IgnorePlayerCollision against a disabled capsule
Also bundled (unrelated user asset/UI edits): PaintHudPanel layout tuning,
font atlas (arialroundedmtprocyr_bold SDF), forestpack_foliage material.

Replace the connection-approval role selection with a server-authoritative
match flow built on NGO additive scene management:
- Scenes: Main is the persistent foundation (NetworkManager, GameModeManager,
cameras, HUD); Lobby and Test Map load/unload additively. Add Lobby + Test Map
to the build settings; remove the obsolete SampleScene.
- MatchManager (plain MonoBehaviour singleton): loads Lobby on server start,
StartMatchTrigger lets the host start the match, rolls one random Hunter (rest
Hider), swaps Lobby -> Test Map (strictly serialized per NGO), respawns each
player as its role variant. Forces additive client sync mode so clients keep
Main instead of single-loading it (fixes "Destination scene is not valid").
- Server-driven spawning: null out NetworkConfig.PlayerPrefab at runtime to
disable auto-spawn, then spawn players after the lobby floor exists (fixes
falling through the floor) with double-spawn and transition guards.
- StartMatchTrigger: server-gated OnTriggerEnter, only the host's own player
starts the match.
- NetworkBootstrap: drop role selection / connection approval; everyone spawns
as the neutral Player prefab. Host/Client/Server/Shutdown buttons stay.
- NetworkPlayerSetup.ScopedModes flag (baked on Hunter/Hider prefabs): lobby
avatar gets the full mode set, match variants get the role-scoped set.
- GameModeManager.BindLocalPlayer reads ScopedModes and rebinds the painter
unconditionally (fixes stale painter binding on respawn -> brush painting in
every mode).
- MeshPainter.PaintingEnabled defaults to false (unbound/pre-spawn/remote never
paints); PaintHud visibility now also gates on a bound painter (fixes the HUD
showing at startup before any avatar exists).
