v.PubSub() was captured at startup before v.Start() initialized NATS,
so both stores held nil and notify() silently no-oped. Replace the
PubSub interface with a callback that evaluates v.PubSub() lazily at
call time.
Use via's embedded NATS server to notify players of state changes
instead of a 100ms polling ticker. Each player subscribes to
"game.<id>" on page load; via auto-cleans subscriptions on disconnect,
eliminating the need for manual player tracking and RegisterSync.
When a game finishes (win or draw), players see a "Play again" button.
Clicking it creates a new game and the opponent sees a "Join Rematch"
link to join the same game.
