+//  SuperTuxKart dedicated-server PATCH (not part of upstream STK).

+//  Captures the per-player classification of a finished networked game and
+//  appends it as one JSON object (newline-delimited) to $STK_RESULTS_FILE.
+//  A separate "result-shipper" sidecar tails that file and POSTs each line to
+//  the stats dashboard. Writing to a local file (rather than doing network I/O
+//  here) keeps the game loop free of blocking/error-prone calls.
+//
+//  Called from ServerLobby::checkRaceFinished() while World/RaceManager are
+//  still alive (see stk-patches/0001-race-result-hook.patch).
