Subject: [PATCH 01/21] refactor(backend): encapsulate throw lifecycle and
 clean dead code in game.rs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add Game::process_throw to centralize throw→simulation→scoring→state flow.

Remove dead room_tx field, simplify add_player, and rename end_ends_or_continue.

Subject: [PATCH 02/21] refactor(backend): split handle_socket and make rooms
 map async-safe

Replace std::sync::Mutex with tokio::sync::Mutex; extract try_join_room, register_player, spawn_forwarder, broadcast_room_state, spawn_message_handler, remove_player.

Use Game::process_throw in the message handler.

-- Use the team dropdown to choose which team's stone you are throwing.
-- Use the left/right arrow buttons to select curl; the arrow points the direction the stone will curve.
-- Tap **THROW**.
-- The server runs the physics for every stone and streams their paths; the frontend interpolates the animation, so collisions animate smoothly for all stones.
-- Drag anywhere outside the house (or when it's not your turn) to scroll up toward the hog line.
+- When it is your team's turn, drag on the sheet to place the broom (aim point) — aim is not limited to the house.
+- When it is not your turn, drag to pan the ice (default framing shows the house with sidelines; pan up toward the hog line).
+- Use the team dropdown to choose which team's stone you are throwing; switch any time (including mid-end for solo play).
+- Use the left/right curl buttons and the weight/friction controls; friction is a local scalar.
+- Tap **THROW**. Anyone identifying as the turn team may throw.
+- The server runs physics for every stone and streams multi-stone paths; the client animates them on one clock so collisions move together.
