jheapsandClaude Opus 5 55eb569d3b Keep the list of who's next, instead of leaving it on a napkin 
A full home game always has two or three people standing behind the chairs, and
the list of who's next lives on a napkin or in the dealer's head. That is where
the argument an hour later comes from. The tool had just learned to open a chair
— somebody cashes out and the seat is free — and had nothing to say about who
should sit in it.

The Session panel keeps the list in order of arrival, which is the only ordering
anybody has ever agreed to. Whoever is at the front is offered the first open
chair by number, and everybody else waits their turn: a list that isn't kept in
order is a pile of names, and jumping the queue is the thing a dealer gets
shouted at for. With the table full it says so rather than offering a seat that
doesn't exist. The same offer appears on the empty chair's own menu — "Seat
Priya" — because tapping the chair somebody is about to sit in is what a dealer's
hand does anyway.

Sitting somebody down puts their name on the chair and nothing else. No stack, no
buy-in, not dealt in: they haven't paid yet, and inventing chips for them would
put money on the table nobody has handed over, which is the one thing the bank
check exists to catch. Add chips is the next thing the dealer does, and it is one
tap away in the same menu.

Two people called Mike are two people — the list is keyed by id, not by name.
Names are trimmed, blanks are refused, and a saved list from a table that never
had one comes back empty rather than undefined.

15 new tests, with the occupied-chair guard removed and a stack handed to the new
player on purpose to confirm they fail. Walked through the browser: two names
added to a full table, a player cashed out to open seat 2, the front of the queue
seated there with nothing in front of them, the bank still balanced, and the
second name taken off the list. 156 audits with the list populated, including a
name long enough to test the row.
