    • Players can create, join, and leave lobbies.
    • A lobby can hold up to N players.
    • Notify all players when the game starts.
    • Handle concurrency (lots of players, lots of updates). I sketched classes for Lobby, Player, and Match, a central LobbyManager with a mutex, and channels for async notifications.
