 ### Player States
 Track each registered player in one of these states:
-- [ ] `REGISTERED` — signed up, round not yet started
-- [ ] `IN_GAME` — actively in the round
+- [ ] `REGISTERED` — signed up or in game (depending on round state)
 - [ ] `DISCONNECTED` — left the server mid-round
 - [ ] `SPECTATING` — non-participant/dead observer
