Session Timing and Ready-room Flow

Tightened the join path and exposed client/server timing signals so session stability work has clearer evidence.

Changes

• Simplified the ready-room account gate so the path from sign-in to joining a hosted round is easier to follow.
• Steadied the server tick interval so hosted rounds advance on a more predictable cadence, reducing timing noise before it reaches the player experience.
• Added client-side network timing visibility so rough-feeling moments can be tied back to real connection cadence instead of guesswork.
• Separated client network timing gaps into clearer buckets, making it easier to tell whether a hiccup comes from presentation timing or live connection behavior.
• Added server-side timing visibility around the live tick loop, giving future playability work clearer evidence when session rhythm feels uneven.
