The starter hubs

Fifteen hub crates, each one src/lib.rs against ckx-sdk, for seventeen node types that deploy together as one app (kit.topology.plan picks the ones a game needs). Their manifest:

{
  "root": "world",
  "types": {
    "world": {"kind": "hub", "crate": "world-tick", "client": true, "persist_every_ms": 10000},
    "matchmaker": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "matchmaker", "client": true, "calls": ["session"]},
    "session": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "matchmaker", "crate": "session", "client": true},
    "npcs": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "npc-mobs", "client": true, "calls": ["world"], "scopes": ["world.read"]},
    "leaderboard": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "leaderboard", "client": true},
    "deck": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "deck", "client": true},
    "tactics": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "tactics", "client": true},
    "director": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "director", "client": true},
    "minigame": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "minigame", "client": true},
    "instance": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "instance", "client": true, "calls": ["leaderboard"]},
    "arena": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "arena", "client": true},
    "race": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "racing", "client": true, "calls": ["leaderboard"]},
    "ball": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "racing", "client": true},
    "territory": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "territory", "client": true, "scopes": ["world.read"]},
    "zone": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "territory", "client": true, "scopes": ["world.read"]},
    "player": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "player", "client": true},
    "market": {"kind": "hub", "parent": "world", "crate": "market", "client": true, "calls": ["player"]}
  }
}

racing and territory each serve two types: a type runs as the one its seed's mode names ({"mode": "ball", ...}), or as the one its name is, so a type named something else needs a seed with its mode. The world, matchmaking, session and npcs starters came first (ckx-sdk 0.10.0); the genre starters need ckx-sdk 0.11.0 in the tier's compute toolchain, and the economy's player and market 0.12.0.

A type's spawn seed (seed_b64), when it has one, is the starter's JSON config: the session's turn time, the matchmaker's windows, the world's nodes. Every starter speaks the kit protocol: its changes take an action_id, its refusals carry codes, and it answers snapshot { topic }.

The starters and their modules

Each starter has a page with its endpoints, topics, config and its module in each SDK.
