Saving makes the game of the asked player freeze for seconds. Joining now asks
for a fresh save only if the stored one is older than JoinSaveMaxAgeMinutes (15)
and something changed - otherwise the stored save plus the world state; regular
saves every 30 minutes (old untouched default 10 is migrated once) and marked
not urgent, so the game can wait for a calm moment (60 s deadline). 3 new tests (168).

- Panel over HTTPS on the game port (TLS handshake detected like HTTP); self-signed
certificate in data/panel_cert.pfx (fingerprint in the log) or an own PFX
(PanelCertificatePath); remote HTTP is redirected to HTTPS (not locally / behind
a proxy); cookie Secure over HTTPS; PanelHttps=false turns it off
- Panel login: also locked per user name (16 failures / 15 min), failure lists
bounded, user names in the log without control characters
- panel_users.json, panel_sessions.json, server.json, certificate: owner-only on Linux
- Players: names/chat without control or direction characters (no fake log lines),
no '<' '>' in names; '* ' system-style chat, msco.* messages (time/weather) and
MSCO_INSTALL only from admins; NaN/absurd money changes dropped (could break the
shared money for good)
- Extra headers: Permissions-Policy, Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy
- 11 new tests (165 pass)

Mods -> MSCO mod list: search the approved mods from msco.mbm.wtf/mods and add or
update one with a click. The server lists and downloads only from the official
keymaster (never from a URL in the answer), checks the SHA-256 and stores it in
data/mods like an uploaded mod. Admins only. 6 new tests (154 pass).

Bought parts (oil filter, spark plugs, fan belt, battery ...) and whether they are
installed are stored in items.txt. Without it they are missing on the car - e.g. the
finished Satsuma of a downloaded save loses oil on the server (in singleplayer an old
local items.txt hides the problem). The upload result now says so. 2 new tests (148 pass).

- ModStore: mods in data/mods (id, name, version, SHA-256), console "mods [reload]"
- ModList is sent before Welcome, files on request in 60 KB parts (once per connection)
- ModMessage relayed between players (max 64 KB)
- Heartbeat reports the mods to the keymaster (automatic "modded" tag)
- Web panel page "Mods": upload, remove, reload (DE/EN)
- Tests for list, download, checksum, relay and limits

Late position updates from players that are being reconnected after reset-world or a new game
were stored again, so everyone spawned at their old-world position. Tracking stops for those
clients now. Test added.

World & Backups -> Start new game (console: new-game, also when stopped):
the save is backed up and replaced by a new-game marker (also as reset
point). Joining players are told to start a new game; the server pulls the
first player's save and from then on runs normally. Reset world returns to
a new game when the reset point is one.

WorldVars and VehicleControls were only relayed; players joining later only
got them with the next save pull. They are now stored in world.json (cleared
with a new save) and appended to the world snapshot (old clients ignore it).

Tags (max. 6, normalized like the keymaster) are sent with the heartbeat;
official and featured are only given by the MSCO admins and are refused with
a note. MSCO_TAGS environment variable.

- Updater checks git.mbm.wtf every 6 h (and on demand) for a newer <Version>
on main, shows the new commits and the required mod version
- Install: download the source, build it with dotnet publish into
data/app/current, warn players and restart (exit code 75 for Docker/systemd,
self-relaunch on Windows). At startup a newer installed update is loaded in
its own AssemblyLoadContext; after 3 failed starts the built-in version runs
- Panel: Update page, sidebar badge, full-screen progress overlay (download,
build, install, restart) that survives the restart and reloads the panel
- Panel sessions survive restarts (hashed tokens in data/panel_sessions.json)
- Docker image is based on the .NET SDK so it can build updates
- Version 2.9.0

The configurable LicenseGraceHours setting is gone. If the master is down or
rejects the key, a running server now only warns and keeps running until the
next restart; a (re)start still works up to 72 h after the last confirmation.
