Summary

Implements room setup and lobby functionality: host designation, room code validation, auto-polling lobby, and host-only game start.

Changes

Backend

• backend/src/models/game.ts — Added hostId field to Room and RoomSnapshot; extended RoomStatus to include "playing"
• backend/src/services/roomStore.ts — Creator is now automatically set as hostId on room creation; hostId exposed in snapshots; new startGame() service validates host + 2+ players before transitioning room to "playing"
• backend/src/api/schemas.ts — Added startRoomSchema; roomCodeParamsSchema now rejects empty codes with .min(1)
• backend/src/api/rooms.ts — New POST /rooms/:code/start endpoint with 403 (not host) / 400 (not enough players) error handling; improved join error message to "Room not found. Please check the code and try again"

Frontend

• frontend/src/services/api.ts — Added startGame() API method; updated RoomSnapshot type with hostId and "playing" status
• frontend/src/state/roomStore.ts — Added startGame() method to RoomStore class
• frontend/src/pages/LobbyPage.tsx — Auto-polls every 2s via setInterval; shows "Host" badge on creator; start button disabled for non-hosts / < 2 players; auto-redirects to /game when status becomes "playing"
• frontend/src/pages/JoinRoomPage.tsx — Client-side validation rejects empty room codes with "Please enter a room code"

Specs

• All design artifacts generated: plan.md, research.md, data-model.md, contracts/api.md, quickstart.md, tasks.md
