"Spectate now, take the slot at the next kickoff" was a print statement. The server logged it and never acted; on the client, _is_spectator was assigned once in _on_match_config_received and never revisited - and that handler returns early whenever _slots is non-empty, so no rebroadcast could promote an in-match spectator. The reconnect path only worked because a returning player is a fresh process. Server: late joiners are queued in arrival order and the queue is drained from _begin_kickoff, before the reset transforms are read, so a promoted player's ship is placed by that same kickoff and the controller swap lands on an already-frozen body. A slot is available only once its player has gone AND their 30s reservation has lapsed - §6.4 outranks §6.3, since taking a reserved slot would quietly break the reconnect promise. _abort_if_abandoned now counts a waiting spectator as somebody present, or the one person queued for the slot that just opened is dumped to the lobby at the moment they were about to get it. Client: new broadcast slot_assigned (reliable, channel 0). Broadcast because every client holds its own slot list and one naming the wrong peer keeps flying somebody else's ship as a remote body; reliable because no per-snapshot field would re-converge a client that missed it. The promoted client undoes what made the body remote - fresh interpolator, physics interpolation back on, offsets cleared - and deliberately does not unfreeze, clearing _local_prediction_ready so the next snapshot teleports it to a real authoritative pose first. The controller-attach block moved to _take_local_ownership rather than being copied. New --role=host-latejoin/--role=client-latejoin and --slot-reservation-seconds=. Verified 4/4 both sides: queued, NOT promoted merely because the reservation lapsed, takes the slot at the kickoff, same ship instance, and both peers independently measure ~45.7m under its input. Control with a 90s reservation: kickoff fires, nothing is promoted, the slot still reads the departed player's name.
