feedback3: merge W3E — two spectator seats per co-op room (GitHub-relayed community request #26; a remake feature): watch like an eliminated player, never act, no private data

+//   * Spectator seats (community report #26, owner's decision 2026-10-04 — a remake feature, the official room has none):
+//     room.spectate { code } takes one of a co-op room's MAX_SPECTATORS (2) spectator seats, in its lobby or while its
+//     match runs (▸ solo rooms: ROOM_FULL). A spectator is not a player: never in `seats`, never counted for the 1–4 players
+//     or the start gate, never host, never keeps a room alive (a room whose last human leaves closes with room.closed
+//     {empty} for its spectators). It receives room.state (`spectators: [{ playerId, name, connected }]`) and every match
+//     broadcast (m.public, m.ticker, m.emote, b.pool — public data); the match registers it (opts.spectators /
+//     addSpectator) and shows it fields like an eliminated player (b.start watch / m.field), never an m.private. It may
+//     only g.watch (the heavy bucket, like every watcher), g.leave / room.leave, and room.loadout (stored for its session,
+//     never handed to the match); anything else → SPECTATOR (▸ emotes too). Host: room.removeSpectator { playerId } any
+//     time → room.closed {kicked} to it. A spectator in a LOBBY room may take a free player seat with room.join of the same
+//     code; a player never switches to spectating in place (ALREADY). Disconnect / grace / reconnect / expiry work as for
+//     a player seat (the seat is kept and given back on resume).
