The 2020.12 watch's PlayerPresence.FriendlyPresence shows roomInstance.name
verbatim and defaults to the literal "^DormRoom" — it expects a player's
current room name to carry a leading ^. Serialize the RoomInstance wire
"name" as "^"+Name and strip it on deserialize (presence round-trips the
DTO through Redis), keeping the C# Name raw so the photonRoomId stays
single-^ and invite messages keep the plain name.
Targets Rec Room 2020.12.18 client.
Re-import after adding:
- DorkNet.ClientMod/dorknet-clientmod.json.template — config schema
the launcher's manifest-driven patcher renders into UserData/.
- tools/build-patcher-zip.ps1 — produces the dorknet-clientpatch-{key}.zip
Release asset the launcher fetches.
- .github/workflows/release.yml — auto-publishes both Release assets
on v1-december-* tag push.
Scrubbed via maintainer-side scrub-for-public.ps1: same drop rules as
the prior import, plus build-patcher-zip.ps1 added to the tools/
allow-list so it survives the scrub.
