docs: record the closed root blocker and the new probe/rotation contract

Browse Source 
docs/MATCHMAKING.md is the stated source of truth for this design, so it
changes first: the probe challenge endpoint and why probing gates
matching rather than merely improving it, and the key-ID rotation
procedure that makes overlapping-key rotation concrete.

multiplayer-next.md §0's root blocker is closed rather than deleted --
what it was, why it blocked everything, and how it was resolved, since
the reasoning is what a future reader needs. Tasks 7.6, 8.15 and 8.31
updated to what actually remains, which in every case is now external
rather than unbuilt.

TODO.md #14 asked for a join-signing design decision; that decision is
recorded with its rationale. CLAUDE.md no longer says a real deployment
cannot complete a match end to end.

## Project overview
Cosmic Clash is an open-source, physics-based "vehicle soccer" game (a spiritual successor to Rocket League) built in Godot 4.7, using space ships instead of cars. The game and the dedicated server are GDScript/Godot only — the "C# backend" an early README described was never started, and the dedicated server is an export of this same Godot project. There is one component outside the Godot project: a **Go matchmaking control plane** in `server/` for casual/ranked queues, ranked ratings and Agones-based server allocation. It is partially implemented and a 1.0 launch blocker — see `docs/MATCHMAKING.md` for the design, `multiplayer-next.md` §0 and §7 for what remains (a real deployment cannot complete a match end to end today), and `docs/TECH_STACK.md` for why the control plane is Go rather than C#, Rust or C++. README.md's "MVP is local-only against bots" section is historical: server-authoritative online multiplayer, a headless dedicated server, Docker/CI verification, and an optional Steam transport are all implemented (Phases 1–6). See `multiplayer-next.md` for what actually remains.

Because the gameplay concept (vehicle soccer) can't be copyrighted but specific expression can, all code/art/assets must be original — this is why the project uses Godot instead of Unreal/Unity and ships instead of cars. Keep this in mind when writing code or pulling in assets: don't port or closely mirror Rocket League's actual implementation.
