Headless network client

The network client connects to the dedicated WebSocket server, joins with a player name, decodes binary snapshots, acknowledges each snapshot, and sends test input.

Start

npm run net:server -- --map wdm2 --port 7777
npm run net:client

Options

Option	Default	Purpose
--connect <url>	ws://localhost:7777	Complete WebSocket URL
--name <name>	random	Player display name
--help		Show CLI help

Example:

npm run net:client -- --connect ws://127.0.0.1:7777 --name Alice

Pass an explicit ws:// or wss:// URL. A bare localhost:7777 value is not normalized by this CLI.

The tool logs every twentieth received snapshot. That is not necessarily once per second; the interval depends on the server snapshot rate.

Use this client for protocol/connectivity smoke tests, not for evaluating browser prediction, rendering, or input feel.
