Research direction

Start by tracing how player information is assembled and sent by the Java server, then inspect how the server associates players with games. Confirm the current game's identity is included in each player's information without requiring clients to search all games. Done means the player payload reports the game the player is currently associated with.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As in the python server, the player information sent to the server does not contain the game a player is currently in. Instead, the client has to look into each game and see if a certain player is in there, which is inconvenient and difficult to do correctly.

Instead, the player info should just contain the game a player is currently associated with.
