Summary

• The tag game's waiting hint ("Waiting for a second player ...") was refreshed every second for a lone player, so it covered the action bar for as long as tag was on.
• The hint is now sent once, when a player becomes alone: switching tag on, joining a lobby with tag on, or the other player leaving the instance.
• The tagger's action bar keeps its one-second refresh, so it does not fade while someone is "it".
• The lobby-tag spec is updated in a separate docs(openspec) commit: the waiting hint is a brief notice, not a permanent bar.

Root cause

TagModule.second() calls TagEffects.taggerChanged() every second, and that method refreshed the action bar of every active player, including the waiting text when there was no tagger.

Tests

• TagModuleIntegrationTest (Env, env.tick(), injected clock):
  • alone after switching tag on: one waiting hint, none after 100 ticks
  • joining alone with tag on: one waiting hint, none after 100 ticks
  • a second participant ends the waiting
  • the remaining player gets one waiting hint when the other player leaves
• ./gradlew spotlessApply build is green.

Not changed

• No start notice for the first two participants: the change does not define one, so the tagger's action bar is the feedback as before.
