Awards, a Spectator Camera, and a Demo Player

Awards Are Decided On The Server

AwardTracker inside GametypeController:

frag          first_blood
on_fire       at 5 kills
raging        at 10
unstoppable   at 15

Presented as an AwardBanner in Orbitron with --w-gold, centred at 35% from the top, in a sequential queue. BinaryProtocol event code 12 ('award'). The EventFeed replaced the kill feed entirely.

Damage Arrows

A Canvas2D directional overlay: red vignette plus scattered triangles weighted by damage direction — 12-70px, 28-60 triangles, 0.35-1.4s flash, intensity scaling with damage, and an oversized splash at 50+ damage.

Pain camera shake now fires for all damage types — hitscan, beam, projectile, melee — at 5-60% of max.

The Physics Fix

Use full dt per command (not dt/queue.length)
Removed queue=0 stale-input simulation

This is v0.9.10's double-simulate() bug from the other end. In v0.9.10 the queue was simulated too many times; here it was simulated for too little time. Bots now send input at 125Hz from a timer loop with AI decisions cached and re-sent.

Also fixed: retreat setting BACK without clearing FORWARD, dodge not setting LEFT/RIGHT flags, and combat targeting state.players[0] instead of visionResult.visibleEnemies[0] — shooting at somebody who was behind a wall.

Spectating And Demos

SpectatorController with exponential smoothing and a snap past 500u, yaw wrap, SpectatorCycling with an alive list and auto-select, watchOnly mode, and a challengers queue past maxClients (maxSpectators default 8).

DemoReader.fromFile() is async with gzip auto-detection (0x1f 0x8b) via the browser DecompressionStream or Node zlib.gunzipSync. DemoViewer plays at the recorded snapshot rate with play/pause, seek, and 0.25x to 4x speed.
