RaceStatus

Full lifecycle status of a race — see packages/types/src/state-machines.ts for the canonical transition map. Operators may move freely among the non-terminal states (forward or back) so a mis-click or false start can be corrected; the natural flat lifecycle traverses the stalls sequence (GOING_BEHIND, GOING_IN_STALLS) while jump races skip it. WEIGHED_IN, RACE_VOID, and ABANDONED are terminal — recovery from these is a separate, deliberate flow, never a status step-back.
