The frontier service now uses the same runtime shape locally and in the container stack, which means health checks stop finding stale environment surprises before the player even reaches the login terminal.
The visible payoff is simple: start the stack, wait for the signal, enter the play console. Stop or recreate the stack and the server now closes the HTTP listener and game runtime deliberately instead of leaving the next boot to sort out the wreckage.
This is not glamorous frontier news. It is the kind of small operations work that makes the play console feel like a place you can return to instead of a demo that only works when the weather is perfect.
