Subject: [PATCH] Ask before a smaller table deletes the players sitting in it
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Typing a smaller number into "Seats at table" silently threw away every seat past
the new count. Nine players down to six removed three of them — names, stacks and
buy-ins gone, no confirmation, no way back.

It also quietly falsified the settle-up. Those players keep their rows in the
session standings, because the hand log remembers who won what, but the seat they
were read from no longer exists — so a player who had just won a pot showed as
having bought in for nothing and holding nothing.

Shrinking now says who it is about to remove and asks, and either way the change
is undoable like the rest of the table's actions. Growing the table, and
shrinking onto chairs nobody is sitting in, still happen without a word.
