-- Match rules the host may pick from (stocks, time, items, stage hazards), and the roster. Shared: the UI renders these choices and the
-- server re-validates every lobby setting against the very same table, so a tampered client can't
-- pick a stock count, stage or fighter that isn't on offer here.
return {
    -- Enabled fighters, in select-screen order. Remove an id to disable that fighter; an empty
    -- list means ALL of them (unknown ids are dropped with a console warning). Which of these a
    -- PLAYER may pick is decided by progression (configs/shared/progression.lua): locked fighters
    -- show blacked-out on the select screen until bought or earned. CPUs may use any enabled one.
