e6b7677c1f feat(dashboard): Network page with a live traffic flow diagram
Next to Diagnostics (health_view): game and web clients, auth, chat,
worlds per zone (expandable), other reporting servers, master, the
dashboard and the UGC server, with a lane each way per link sized by
bytes/s, animated by packets/s and coloured by load against its own
5 minute peak. Estimated links (servers without a split) are dashed.
Clicking a box shows its links, busiest message types and a sparkline,
with a link to Diagnostics (which now takes ?server=). A connections
table lists each remote address; single clients can be drawn too.
Narrow screens get a list. Drawing stops while the tab is hidden.

6c43753fb2 feat(dashboard): chat flags queue
Staff flag chat for review (chat_flag): one message or several from one
conversation, with who it is about and a note. The flag keeps a copy of the
messages and 10 before and after. The Chat Flags page (Inbox, badge for open
flags) filters by status, character and account; a flag links to the character,
the account (mute, warn, ban), their player reports, their other flags and the
conversation, and shows its history. Reviewers (chat_flag_review) mark it
actioned or dismissed, change the note, link a player report or comment; all of
it is in the flag's history and the audit log. The sidebar adds Team Chat.

f3a49991d4 feat(dashboard): guild, team and whisper chat histories
Guild chat per guild (/chat_log/guild/<id>, from the guild's card), team chat by
team (/chat_log/teams) and a character's whispers by conversation
(/characters/<id>/whispers, chat_dms; opening one is audited), paged on the
server. The Chat Log filters by account and time range, shows the conversation
around a message, links to its history and marks flagged messages; messages can
be picked (shift-click for a range) to flag. The character page links to all of
them.

db63fd2919 feat(ugc): ray_backend=embree-gpu traces on Intel GPUs with Embree's SYCL (optional build)
The third ray backend, so every machine has a library for it: Embree on x86
CPUs (embree), HIPRT on AMD and NVIDIA GPUs (hiprt), Embree through SYCL on
Intel Arc and Xe GPUs (embree-gpu).

- CMake option DLU_EMBREE_SYCL (off). dUgcServer/EmbreeSycl is a project of
  its own built by a SYCL compiler (DLU_SYCL_CXX; icpx through ONEAPI_ROOT or
  the path, or the open source DPC++'s clang++ through DPCPP_ROOT) as an
  external project: Embree 4.4 with EMBREE_SYCL_SUPPORT, linked statically and
  bound inside (-Bsymbolic, only its C functions exported, so it never meets
  the servers' own Embree), and the GPU kernels (nearest hit skipping a ray's
  triangle, any hit), into libdlu_embree_sycl next to the servers
- UgcRaysEmbreeGpu loads it the first time embree-gpu is asked for; one GPU for
  the process (embree_gpu_device picks it), the workers take turns, the
  occlusion rays in batches as for hiprt
- without the build, the library or a supported Intel GPU it falls back to
  embree and says why (the UGC server's log at start, --make-model on stderr)
- the option names, the settings page, the dashboard's picker, /reprocessproperty

Verified here: the default build and ctest; the SYCL build with the open source
DPC++ 7.1.0 (compiles, links against oneAPI's libsycl.so.9, exports only its C
functions); on this machine (no Intel GPU) it loads, finds no GPU and falls
back to embree. Not verified: tracing on an Intel GPU (none here).

Check: on a machine with an Intel Arc or Xe GPU and oneAPI, configure with
-DDLU_EMBREE_SYCL=ON and run UgcServer --make-model x.lxfml out embree-gpu;
the UGC tests then compare it with Embree.

edba81ff7c refactor(ugc): Embree is required; the hand-written ray hierarchies are gone
Embree 4 (always built) replaces the UGC server's own bounding volume
hierarchies (the nearest-hit one and the occlusion rays' any-hit one), with no
fallback to them. ray_backend is embree (default) or hiprt (optional build;
Embree when it can't be used).

Settings, stored options and stats that say builtin still read: it is embree
(UgcRays::Parse, UgcProcessOptions::Parse). The dashboard's picker,
/reprocessproperty and --make-model offer embree and hiprt.

Tests: the backends are compared with Embree (hiprt when built), Embree against
rays whose hits are known, and the clutter's occlusion against what the old
hierarchy worked out (296 vertices summing to 114.5, 26 open, 183 dark); the
pinned model hashes are unchanged with Embree.

Check: ray_backend=builtin in an ini still starts and uses embree; the
settings page offers Embree and HIPRT.

07154c58d2 refactor(ugc): remove the path traced hidden-face method; the renders are the only one
The path tracer that imitated LU Toolbox's Remove Hidden Faces took 17 to 100
times as long as the renders from 42 directions around the model, too heavy to
use. It goes with its settings (hsr_method, hsr_samples, hsr_bounces,
hsr_sample_spacing, hsr_min_points), its side by side tracing for GPUs and its
tests. The renders (UgcRender::VisibleFromAround) remove hidden faces as before
that method existed; their size is hsr_resolution (1024), and the memory
estimate counts their buffers again.

The hidden-face method is no longer a processing option: the dashboard's picker,
/reprocessproperty and --make-model take only the ray backend (the occlusion's)
and denoising. Options stored before (made_options, process_options,
ugc_process_runs, --make-model arguments) that name toolbox or fast still
parse; the word is skipped.

Check: the settings page has no hsr_method or path settings and has
hsr_resolution; /reprocessproperty embree toolbox still works (toolbox
ignored); models made with the defaults keep their hashes (UGC tests).

1700b7e2e3 feat(dashboard): pick processing options for Make again; compare them on the UGC page
The UGC page's Make again buttons (a model's, the failed ones, everything) use
the ray tracer, hidden-face method and denoising picked next to them (the
settings' when left alone). The List view's new Options column shows what made
each model and what its next make will use; "Processing options compared"
shows every combination the made models used with its makes, models and the
average time, CPU time, hidden faces', occlusion's and icon's time and share of
triangles removed per make.

Check: the three selects next to Make again (models only); make a model again
with embree fast and see its Options column and the comparison table.

33402425e4 feat(dashboard): pending guild names count on the Review Queue and Guilds badges

431eddd5bd feat(dashboard): guilds page, guild name review and guild chat in the chat log
A Guilds page (Moderation, permission guilds_manage, GM 5 by default): every guild with its name status, member count,
leader and age, a pending-only switch, and per guild its members (with ranks) and history (guild_events). Staff can
approve a guild name that waits for review, reject it (the guild becomes "Guild <id>"), rename a guild (same name rules
as the game, unique without regard to case), remove a member (a leader's guild goes to the next member, the last
member's guild is deleted) and disband a guild. Every change is audited and added to the guild's history, and the chat
server is asked (GUILD_CHANGED through master) to tell the online members. Pending guild names also show in the Review
Queue. Guild chat ("guild" in the chat log) counts as private chat like whispers and team chat (chat_private), with its
own channel filter and Prometheus counter.

Check on the dashboard: /guilds lists a guild made in game; approve/reject/rename/remove/disband update the in-game guild
window and name billboard of online members; the Review Queue shows a guild whose name waits for review.

fd141c232b feat(dashboard): the UGC page replaces UGC Search
The UGC Search page and the UGC page searched the same things (owner,
account, property, the name and description a player gave a model, LOT,
UGC / blueprint id) with the same SQL. The UGC page's lists are now the
one search:

- models' List view has a Where column: placed on a property (with the
  name given there and a link to the model in the property's 3D view),
  in a mail or in the creator's inventories, or not found
  (/api/ugc?where=1, UgcLinks::Whereabouts as before)
- owners link to their character and, with accounts_view, account
- while searching, the kind buttons say how many models and how many
  cars and rockets match (/api/ugc "matches")
- /ugc_search?q= redirects to /ugc?view=list&q=; the menu's UGC Search
  entry is now UGC, which opens the UGC page (it was only under Server
  Admin, for ugc_manage)
- References lose their Find button (Where it is has the same) and name
  the inventory a build is in

The ugc-search page and script are removed; /api/ugc_links/search stays
for API users.

Check: the menu's UGC entry; an old /ugc_search?q= link opens the UGC
list with the search filled in; owner:, account:, property:, name:,
lot: and id: searches, and the counts on the kind buttons; the Where
column's links (property, 3D, character, account).

e159d7b768 feat(dashboard): the cars and rockets table has the models table's columns
The UGC page's assemblies (cars and rockets) list had its own columns.
It now has the models' columns and sorts, minus Saved: ID and Owner (the
newest build and its creator, and how many other owners), State, Made,
Took, CPU and RAM (the latest make of any build, and the cost of the make
the UGC server did for the combination; builds that shared the made icon
cost nothing), Size (the module count), File (the build type and its
modules) and Where (how many builds and owners use it, opening
References). The gallery sorts the same way.

Check: UGC page, Cars and rockets, List: every column sorts both ways on
the server, and the gallery's sort list has the same sorts.

e4991f0118 feat(dashboard): a simpler UGC card on Diagnostics
The card had the UGC page's counts per state for both kinds, totals since
the server started and the last makes, which the UGC page's lists cover.
It now says whether the UGC server is up (throttled, paused), how many
items wait and failed (linking to the failed ones), its busy workers,
CPU, memory and stored files.

/api/diagnostics/ugc read the database on a worker thread; the counts are
now read on the web thread and the worker only fetches the UGC server's
status.

Check: Diagnostics with the UGC server enabled: the card is short, reads
right while it's up, throttled and stopped, and the failed link opens the
failed ones.

2629b41e6c feat(dashboard): the top bar shows the server name while the menu is hidden
With the menu hidden on a wide screen the page had no name or link
home left; the top bar now shows "DarkflameServer" (linking home) then,
as it already does on narrow screens.

Check: hide the menu with the top bar's menu button on a wide window:
"DarkflameServer" appears beside it and opens Home; showing the menu
again hides it.

1c1bf38431 fix(dashboard): account history reloads without a script error
The account page throttled its account_notes watcher around the check
of which account changed, but a throttled call gets no event, so every
change threw "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id')" and
the history never reloaded. The check now runs first and only the
reload is throttled.

Check: lock or unlock an account (or add a note from another tab): the
history list on its page updates, and the browser console shows no
error.

c70b163701 feat(dashboard): account and character pages update without reloading
Actions on an account (ban, mute, lock, GM level, email) and on a
character (edit, restoring a version, saving its XML) show the result
in place (reloadInPlace) instead of reloading the page. Deleting an
account goes back to Accounts without leaving the deleted account in
the history. After an in-place update (dash:refreshed) the pages show
the server's values again the way they do on load: last logins and the
mute end in the browser's time, and the GM level picker (unless a new
level is being picked).

Check: lock and unlock an account: the badge changes with no reload.
Change an account's GM level from another tab: the first tab's level
picker follows. Edit a character's items: the page updates when the
dialog closes. A character's last login updates when they log in.

172706ee51 feat(dashboard): bug report, play key and system log pages update without reloading
reloadInPlace() and goTo(url) (common.js) show the page again or open
another one through nav.js, or reload/load normally without it.
Resolving a bug report updates the page in place; deleting a bug
report or play key goes back to its list without leaving the deleted
page in the history. The System Log's server and file pickers and its
Refresh button swap the page in (Refresh keeps the scroll position).
The AI helper's "open the account" goes through nav.js too.

Check: resolve a bug report: the Resolved badge and text appear with no
reload. Delete a play key: back on Play Keys, and Back doesn't return
to the deleted key. System Log: picking a server or file and Refresh
change the log without a white flash.

f58255ab8a feat(dashboard): change pages without reloading the dashboard
nav.js (loaded on every signed-in page) follows links and GET forms to
other dashboard pages by fetching the page and swapping in its <main>,
title, page styles and page scripts; the sidebar, top bar and live
WebSocket stay. History entries, back/forward (with scroll positions,
also kept for a reload), deep links, #hash filters and breadcrumbs keep
working. What the old page set up is taken down first: its
document/window listeners, setInterval timers, Live watchers and
topics, DataTables, dialogs and what it appended to <body>. Page
scripts run again in order; DOMContentLoaded/load handlers they add run
once they have all run. A thin bar shows while loading; a failed fetch
shows an inline error with Try again / Open it normally.

Falls back to a normal load for anything that isn't a signed-in
dashboard page, when the account or permissions changed, and for pages
with module scripts or an import map (World 3D, property view and 3D,
UGC server) or data-nav="reload", and when leaving those. Unsaved-change
prompts (beforeunload) are asked before swapping.

Check: click around the sidebar and into accounts/characters: no white
flash, the footer's live indicator stays "live", back/forward return to
the same scroll position, breadcrumbs follow the path (Accounts > an
account > a character). Activity Log links with #search= still filter.
System Log's server picker works. Leaving Settings with a change asks
first. World 3D and a property's 3D view still load (normally). Pages
that poll (Server Health, Instance Load) stop polling once left
(browser network tab). Test: NavRulesJs.

f13d15b4dd feat(dashboard): the sidebar keeps its open groups and can be hidden
The menu's groups stay open or closed from page to page
(localStorage "dash.sidebar", this browser only), applied by an inline
script right after the menu so the first paint already shows them. The
group of the current page opens and stays open until it is closed. A
new top bar button hides the menu on wide screens; that choice is
applied in <head>, also before the first paint.

Check: open and close a few menu groups, switch pages and reload; the
groups stay as left, with no flicker. On a wide window the menu button
left of the user menu hides the menu, and it stays hidden across pages
and reloads. Narrow screens: the Menu button still slides the menu out.
Test: SidebarStateJs (ctest, needs node).

868f34123f feat(dashboard): grants on the Permissions page and on account and character pages
A Grants tab on the Permissions page (with grants_manage: every grant in force, the history, and a form that asks
whose it is, searching accounts or characters by name), and a Permission grants card on account and character pages
(the account's or character's grants and history; the form with grants_manage). The form picks the kind (dashboard
permission, in-game command, every permission of a category, every command up to a GM level) and searches what to
grant among only what the signed-in user may grant; grant or deny, an optional expiry and a note. In-force grants have
a Remove button when the user may remove them. Players see their own grants, read-only. The Permissions page (and its
menu entry) now opens with permissions_manage or grants_manage; the GM level tabs still need permissions_manage.

Check: as GM 9, add a grant and a deny from the Permissions page and from an account and a character page, with and
without an expiry; remove one; the lists and history update (also in a second tab). As a GM 8 given grants_manage:
only the Grants tab shows, and only permissions and commands GM 8 has are offered. As a player: your own account page
lists your grants without a form.

Three sections with one-line explanations instead of paragraphs:
- Test a message: normal or best friends' free chat, the verdict, each
  word with why, and Block/Allow/Remove per word.
- Staff lists: one table for Blocked and Allowed with search, a list
  filter and 50 per page. Block, Allow, move and Remove open a
  confirmation showing where the word stands and the recent chat the
  change affects (the old "What would blocking it stop?" checks).
- Word files: each file's size in one line; chatplus_en_us.txt words
  searchable, 200 per page with Previous/Next; click a word to test it.
All existing APIs are unchanged and still used. docs/Dashboard.md
rewritten for the page.

Check: /chat_filter: test a message in both chats, add, move and remove
a word (confirm and cancel), search and page both lists, copy file
words into Allowed, Re-apply in running worlds.

9a5a9a274f feat(dashboard): Mail page with every mail, translated text and deleted mail
New Mail page (/mail, characters_mail, under Moderation): every in-game
mail newest first and live, with sender and receiver linked to their
character and account, the attachment with its icon and name (waiting
or claimed), and the state (unread, read, deleted by the player with
the time). Filters: state, character (sent or received), account,
text. Open shows the body, the attachment's item ID, subkey and data.

Locale keys in mail (%[MissionEmail_12_subjectText], the game's sender
name) are shown as the client shows them, from locale.xml; the stored
text stays under "Stored text". LocaleText::Expand, unit tested.

The character Mailbox uses the same view. Staff see mail the player
deleted (marked) and a link to the character's mail on the Mail page;
the owner sees only what is still in the mailbox, without account IDs.
/api/characters/:id/mail keeps its old fields and adds the new ones.

Check: /mail with each filter, Open on game, staff and player mail,
a mission mail's subject translated; a character's Mailbox as staff
and as the owner after deleting a mail in game.

table filtered to that LOT.

sort by a column, add a filter, search, page; click a LOT or loot
matrix value; /cdclient#/object/1727 opens Objects id = 1727.

4679edd2b2 feat(ugc): processing totals on the UGC page; no shared icon preset for player models
- IUgc::GetUgcProcessTotals sums what the UGC server made, for models and
  for car and rocket builds: count, time spent (and how many are timed),
  CPU time, average and slowest, average and most memory (estimate),
  bricks, triangles and triangles saved (models whose count before hidden
  face removal is known). /api/ugc returns them as totals and the UGC page
  shows a card for each kind. Parity tested.
- Player models no longer have a shared icon preset: every one is a
  different size and shape, so its icon is fitted to it from the settings.
  The UGC server ignores a kind:model preset, the dashboard refuses to save
  one, and the icon editor hides the type buttons for models. One model's
  own icon values still work. Car and rocket build types keep theirs.

f45a21c15f feat(dashboard): the game's own shaders in the world and property 3D views
game-shaders.js ports the client's techniques to one ShaderMaterial
program per family and variant: LEGOPPLighting (hemisphere lit sun,
ambient, fresnel rim, N.H^320 specular, the default reflection cube;
decal and non-decal textures, emissive, super emissive, glow, grayscale,
no ambient, AnimUV), BasicShaders and AlphaAsAlpha (lit or unlit, both
sides, alpha blend, alpha test, additive, animated alpha, two layers),
Metallic.fx polished metal and brushed steel with the client's metal
cubes, clear plastic, the Distortion (Ocean) layers, Flat Surf,
BrickWater, darklings, terrain meshes, flairs and the sky. The maths runs
on sRGB values as Direct3D 9 did; lights, specular, hemisphere and fog
blend between scenes; textures move by the .nif's texture transforms.

109a936798 feat: live updates move every server onto a new build without a restart
With new binaries in place, master moves everything onto them while the
server keeps running (the dashboard's Live update, /liveupdate or SIGUSR2 to
master):

- database migrations of the new build first; a failure stops there
- UGC finishes the jobs it is running (queued rows stay pending), auth
  restarts, chat hands its teams to master for the next chat server; master
  starts the new processes and retries ones that don't come back
- once the new chat server is up (CHAT_SERVER_READY) every world connects at
  once and sends its players again (LoginSessionNotify resync, no login logged)
- every world instance is replaced with an instance migration: public worlds
  and private ones (same password) at once, properties after the old instance
  saved and froze the property (MIGRATE_PREPARE: no building, claiming or
  saving there any more), activity zones and character select once their
  players left or after a wait; empty instances just stop, zones in
  prestart_worlds get a new one first
- the dashboard restarts last and picks the status up again

Players land where they stood (position carried in CarriedPlayerState, also on
properties and Moon Base). Draining instances get no new players
(InstanceMigration::AcceptsNewPlayers) and show as "Moving players" in the
world list. The order lives in LiveUpdateMachine.h without master state and is
unit tested; master's glue is LiveUpdateCoordinator. Master itself is not
replaced. Message IDs are appended only.

d817697ab2 feat(dashboard): the game's own shaders in the world and property 3D views
game-shaders.js ports the client's techniques to one ShaderMaterial
program per family and variant: LEGOPPLighting (hemisphere lit sun,
ambient, fresnel rim, N.H^320 specular, the default reflection cube;
decal and non-decal textures, emissive, super emissive, glow, grayscale,
no ambient, AnimUV), BasicShaders and AlphaAsAlpha (lit or unlit, both
sides, alpha blend, alpha test, additive, animated alpha, two layers),
Metallic.fx polished metal and brushed steel with the client's metal
cubes, clear plastic, the Distortion (Ocean) layers, Flat Surf,
BrickWater, darklings, terrain meshes, flairs and the sky. The maths runs
on sRGB values as Direct3D 9 did; lights, specular, hemisphere and fog
blend between scenes; textures move by the .nif's texture transforms.
Programs are shared by every material with the same defines.

A Fog switch (off by default) adds the zone's fog to scenery and
terrain. Shaders the game doesn't draw in the world (footprints, drop
shadows, post-processing) are left out. Docs list the families, their
gameValues and what's approximated.

59b9ceb52c feat(dashboard): import, reprocess and remove models from the property 3D view

(ugc_manage), Import LXFML at the file's positions and Remove all models
(properties_import). Not on the showcase view.

6c45d4abdb feat(dashboard): reprocess or remove every model on a property
The property page gets a Reprocess all models button (ugc_manage): every
model placed on the property goes back to the UGC server's queue, made
again with the current settings (/api/ugc/reprocess with {property}).
Import models gets Remove all models (properties_import): deletes every
model placed on the property after the property id is typed in, refused
while the property is loaded in a world, as import is.

8193e23e53 feat(dashboard): terrain lit by the zone's lights, blending with the scenery
The textured terrain in the world and property 3D views now takes the
lighting the scenery uses (the scene's sun and ambient light, blending as
the focus moves between scenes), as TiledDetailDiffuse_4_PS does: the
blended textures times the diffuse map times two times the clamped vertex
light, times the blend alpha. Until a manifest brings the lighting, the
terrain keeps its own light.

Checked against the client (RAWReadColorandLightMaps 0x0102e3e0 and the
texture map reader at 0x0103aaf0): the game's diffuse map and blend map are
DDS copies of the color and texture maps the views use (same pixels on the
Avant Gardens chunks compared), so the dark patches and the steep drops at
the plateau's edges are in the terrain file itself.

2da96ada83 feat(dashboard): 3D views show a zone's scenes as the game loads them
A "Scenes" choice in the world and property 3D views: every scene (as
before), the scenes the game keeps loaded around the camera or the followed
player (the scene under it from the terrain's scene map, the scenes its
transitions connect to, and the global scene, following as it moves), or
scenes picked from a list (world view). The lighting blends to the lighting
of the scene under the focus, as the client blends between scenes.

The scenery manifest now carries each object's scene, the zone's scenes with
their neighbours and lighting, and the scene map as runs (37 KB for Avant
Gardens); scenery-core.js finds the scene at a point exactly as ZoneScenes
does (checked against it on 2000 points of Avant Gardens).

f252c6ff26 feat(ugc): how many triangles each model saved, on the UGC page
The UGC server stores a model's most detailed level's triangles before it
removed the faces that can't be seen (ugc.triangle_count_before;
migrations sqlite 75, mysql 92), from stats.json when it makes a model
and, once, for the models made before. The UGC page's models list has a
Saved column (the share and number of triangles removed, before/after in
its tooltip), sortable by the share (sort=savings), and the gallery can
sort by most triangles saved.

When the UGC server is enabled, the Diagnostics page shows it: online or
unreachable, busy workers and queue, CPU against its limit, memory and
the jobs' estimated memory against its budget, stored files, what it
made and failed since it started, the last makes, and how many models
and cars/rockets are made, waiting, failed or empty. Refreshed every 10
seconds from /api/diagnostics/ugc (health_view).

c939a69240 feat(dashboard): UGC list shows a model's given name, and Took/CPU/RAM columns
The models list's Took, CPU and RAM (est.) are separate columns, each
sortable (sort=slowest|cpu|memory). The File column shows the name a
player gave the model where it is placed, with the upload's extension
(the upload's file name is its tooltip), and the name sort uses it
(case-insensitive, so SQLite and MySQL agree).

The config layer test no longer assumes the build's sharedconfig.ini has
no mysql_host; it checks that the database-supplied value isn't used.

56c3a81db2 fix(dashboard): character inventory loads fast with thousands of items
The inventory modal drew every item of every tab into the page, and one
item details request for all of them (over the 500 a request allows, so
no tooltips at all). Now the items come from the summary API when the
modal opens and are drawn one tab at a time, 240 at a time as the tab
scrolls, with a filter by name or LOT. Each chunk's item details are
fetched with it (at most 500 a request) and a tooltip is made on first
hover. Player-built items get their UGC icon as their chunk is drawn
(UgcLinks.inventoryLinks and decorateItem).

The UGC server records how long each successful make took (process_ms on
ugc and ugc_modular_build; migrations sqlite 73, mysql 90). The UGC page
shows it with the time it was made: in the models list's Made column
(sortable, slowest first), in the tiles' tooltips, in the item preview
and in an assembly's References. The gallery can sort by slowest to
make too. Makes from before this are shown without a duration.

dce2037d9d feat: worlds starting up on the dashboard; the prestarted worlds are a setting
The dashboard shows worlds master has launched but that aren't connected
yet (Starting) and those shutting down, on the main page's world list
and in /api/worlds (state: starting|stopping), without a shutdown
button. Master's server list now carries each world's state (appended
after the UGC fields, one byte per world) and master pushes the list to
the dashboard whenever a world is launched, becomes ready, is told to
shut down or goes away, instead of the dashboard only seeing it on its
30 second poll. Starting worlds are kept apart from the running ones,
so counts, events and shutdown requests still only see running worlds.

prestart_worlds (masterconfig.ini, zone ids) lists the worlds master
starts when prestart_servers is on, instead of the hardcoded character
select (0) and Venture Explorer (1000), which stay the default when it
is missing or empty. It is on the Settings page as a zone list (restart
only), shown when prestart_servers is on.

37459e0019 fix(properties): top property slots show only their own world
The news screen's slot tooltip names the slot's own property world
whatever property is sent for it, so a property of another world was
shown under the wrong name. Each slot now only shows a property of its
own world: a location stored by the older per-slot setting is kept in
the table but not used, full auto fills each slot with its own world's
top property instead of the top four across every world, and the
dashboard no longer offers a location or candidates from other worlds.

36cefc1ede feat(ugc): brick data through the client's assets; colours from Materials.xml everywhere
The UGC server reads brickdb.zip and brickprimitives through DLU's
AssetManager (loose files first, then the client's packs, as the game
does), so packed clients and bricks added to a client work. It falls
back to loose files under res/ as before.

In the LU Toolbox palette (the default), a colour LU Toolbox doesn't
know but the client's Materials.xml has, such as one added to the brick
database, is drawn in its Materials.xml colour instead of black. Ids
neither knows stay LU Toolbox's black.

The dashboard's 3D viewers get the brick colours from the client's
Materials.xml (/api/bricks/materials.js) instead of a hardcoded copy, so
added colours show there too.

453f728b5e feat(dashboard): UGC List view and References as sortable DataTables
The UGC page's List view (models and car/rocket assemblies) and an
assembly's References panel are server-side DataTables like the rest of
the dashboard: sort by clicking a column heading, in either direction,
with the page length and sort remembered per user. They still read
/api/ugc and /api/ugc/assembly/builds, so the prefix search and filters
above the list keep working; the gallery keeps its own pager and sort.

/api/ugc takes reverse=1 for a sort's other direction (the model list's
SQL order and the assembly sort both flip), and the references endpoint
sorts by id, owner, account or state. Tests cover the reversed orders.

Words in a search match in any order, each one as part of a word, as its
letters in order (dbnc finds debounce) or with one typo or swapped pair.
Commas or | separate searches: "rent, ugc icon" shows everything matching
either. Underscores and dots count as spaces, so "icon border" finds
ugc_icon_border.

e5f3d6bd9d feat(dashboard): UGC settings beside what they change on the UGC page, their own Settings category
The settings catalog gives the UGC server a category of its own (serving,
processing, models, storage, icons). The UGC page shows those sections next to
the server status, the purge tools and the icon presets, read from the catalog
and saved through the Settings page's own path; each links to its entry on the
Settings page, which now opens a #file/name link at that setting.
