gamer147 77c99cc230 fix(battle-node): serialize per-session dispatch to stop cross-thread state race
In PvP a BattleSession subscribes to both participants' FrameEmitted, and each
RealParticipant raises it from its own WebSocket read loop -- two threads. The
dispatch path (ComputeFrames + the relay PushAsync calls) mutates shared,
non-thread-safe state: the BattleSessionState dictionaries (deck maps, post-swap
hands, idx->cardId reveal map). Concurrent frames from both players could corrupt
those dictionaries (InvalidOperationException / torn playSeq / wrong card identity).

Add a per-session SemaphoreSlim _dispatchGate around the whole HandleFrameAsync so
both read loops funnel through one critical section. ComputeFrames stays lock-free
(the direct-call test seam is single-threaded).

Analysis during the fix showed each OutboundSequencer is single-writer-per-instance
in steady state (A's loop only writes B's Outbound and vice-versa), so the live race
is the shared BattleSessionState, which the gate fully serializes.

TDD: BattleSessionDispatchConcurrencyTests drives both participants to AfterReady,
then fires TurnStart from both at once; the target PushAsync records peak in-flight
dispatches. Red (MaxConcurrent=2) before the gate, green (1) after.

SVSim.BattleNode

Socket.IO node-server emulation for in-battle real-time traffic — the second of prod's 4-server topology. Handles Matched / BattleStart / Deal / per-action PlayActions / Echo / TurnEnd between a client and a server-side opponent, for TK2 PvP and AI rank battles.

Documentation lives in the outer repo

This project's canonical reference is a single hub doc in the outer SVSim repo (this directory is an inner git repo, so the doc isn't tracked alongside the code):

docs/battle-node.md (from the SVSim root) — architecture, the dispatch matrix by battle type, connect handshake + crypto, BattleFinish wire-result semantics, SIO/EIO event coverage, reliability (pubSeq/playSeq/Gungnir), wire-format gotchas, where-to-extend, the manual smoke walkthrough, and the consolidated open-items list.

Relative path from here: ../../../docs/battle-node.md.

Detailed per-URI wire shapes are in docs/api-spec/in-battle/; the hub links into them.

Keep docs/battle-node.md updated in the same change whenever you alter node behavior.
