 Session establishment now also requires a present, syntactically valid, future `expires_at`, preventing malformed authentication responses from creating an unbounded client session.
 
+MatchNet admission configuration now requires exact string opaque match/server IDs and a finite integral protocol version, preventing malformed server context from being coerced into a valid roster binding.

 Signed MatchNet claims now also require exact JSON string/integer types for every identity, protocol, expiry, slot, team, and generation field; string-number coercion is rejected before canonical signature verification.
 
 Presentation progress: a shared `Game/themes/cosmic_clash_theme.tres` now gives the menu, lobby, matchmaking, and settings surfaces consistent button, input, option, and label styling. The custom-font portion of `TODO.md` remains open until a distributable font asset is selected.
