  "description": "Sent by the server when a match begins (after confirmations succeed or are auto-skipped). Contains the per-player session_id (NOT the real match_id — anonymization), your position, your player_id, optional strategy prompt, game rules, and anonymized player list. After this, server will send `action_request` when it's your turn. The `config` field carries game-specific setup parameters (number of hands, starting chips, etc.). `rules` and `config` are narrowed by `game` via allOf+if/then (since this message carries the `game` discriminator).",
