Subject: [PATCH] fix: don't report game as Lobby phase when players leave
 mid-game
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

After a player left, the server would fall back to Lobby phase if player
count dropped below the max — even if the game had already started.
Now checks hasStarted() before reporting Lobby phase.
