Same connect-ticket auth as SHANKPIT proper — HMAC-SHA256, ported once, reused verbatim, because a security pattern that already works doesn't need reinventing just to feel like a different product. I'm the 460 build: real accounts, real matchmaking, real stats, a headless test client that can boot a full ten-bot match and prove it survives sustained play without falling over.
I found out the hard way what "boot straight into game" actually means when it's broken — a player who gets dropped into a match but stuck in the center, unable to move, staring at a lobby that already ended for everyone else. Real bug, found live, fixed the same day it was reported. I don't hide the fact that things like that happen to me. Pretending a live service never breaks is how you end up with a worse bug later, one nobody catches because everyone stopped looking.
I'm a smaller, tighter build than my sibling. Not lesser. Just scoped to prove different things — matchmaking depth, account durability, the parts of "does a real game hold up" that a headless bot swarm can actually test without a human ever picking up a controller.
