Port the existing GRID0 friend cache, friend ID/record lookup, and presence publishing so Raiders resolves account names and online title data instead of receiving empty friend-service stubs.

Validation: emulator and test targets built successfully; socket tests passed 175 assertions across 20 cases. Two separate profiles created/joined a Spiral room, played a match, and returned to the boat. Friends joining also worked after the corresponding server presence fix.

The audio stream is currently silent in the tested setup and remains under investigation. Cross-network play is the next test. No game files, keys, firmware, account credentials, or saves are included in this PR.
