Live content used to preempt Vegas outright: while any plugin reported live priority the display controller refused to run the ticker at all and showed a full-screen scoreboard instead. Keeping the marquee meant not seeing live scores; seeing live scores meant losing the marquee. Two changes, both off by default. vegas_scroll.live_in_ticker keeps the ticker running through a live game. Three places assumed the takeover and all three now honour it: the controller's gate, the coordinator's per-frame pause, and the rotation switch that would otherwise move current_mode_index underneath a ticker that never yields. And the rotation is no longer a strict round robin. It was one slot per plugin per cycle, so with a dozen plugins enabled a live score came round once a lap and could be minutes old on screen. A plugin can now hold several slots, placed by Smooth Weighted Round-Robin -- the same scheduler the sports plugins already use to rotate their own games. The property that matters is that repeats are spread through the cycle rather than clumped: three in a row and then silence would be worse than no boost at all. Weight comes from the plugin first, via a new optional get_vegas_priority_weight(), then from the core: live content earns live_weight, everything else 1. So existing plugins gain the behaviour without changes, and the hook exists for the one thing the core cannot work out -- the core can see that a game is live but not whose, so only the plugin can say a favorite is playing. Documented in ADVANCED_FEATURES (worked example, why weights are per plugin not per game, and that frequency is not freshness), CONFIG_REFERENCE, PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE, and the config template.
