📱 Mobile Interface Polishing

Lobby grid fully restructured for tap-friendly interaction on small screens.
Hamburger menu redesigned with adaptive transitions across landscape/portrait modes.

Test hooks added for unreleased game variants and solo-mode experiments.
Early access toggle built into backend—allowing segmented feature rollout.

🔁 Cross-Device Validation
