0.2.3: Clementia S2 releases a dead, hidden, uncarriable or pathless rider at once (slot and weight back before the same tick's boarding checks); same-browser match recovery never takes the seat of a window that is reloading or still starting (a tab keeps its own session token; seats are stamped at the server's welcome, the older welcome wins); golden: diy-135 moves (outcome unchanged)
