Reliable Verse state after a round reset?

I’m separating session state from player progression and want a review of the lifecycle assumptions before this goes into a live playtest.

I’m especially interested in failure cases around round transitions and late joins. A useful answer should separate what is guaranteed by the runtime from what needs explicit bookkeeping.

Treat round-local state and durable progression as separate layers. Reconstruct the first from authoritative events, and write the second only at explicit checkpoints. This keeps reset behavior inspectable and makes late-join recovery much less surprising.

// Pseudocode: keep the boundary explicit
OnRoundBegin -> RebuildSessionState()
OnCheckpoint -> CommitProgression()
