sero7k/Project-A — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a local private server setup for the early Project A or Valorant client so I can boot the old client against my own machine for research and preservation. I want it to run on Windows with Python, with an easy local flow where I can start just the server or start the server and launch the client from a neighboring Project A Valorant folder.

Please make the local control side work well enough for login and account creation, config, chat, party, matchmaking, pregame, core game payloads, store, entitlements, contracts, loadout, and similar client bootstrap features. It is fine if actual gameplay is still incomplete, I just want the recovered client paths and local game socket response behavior working for testing.

Use in memory storage by default so it works out of the box, but support PostgreSQL if a database URL is provided. Keep the launch scripts simple, including Riot style name input and local certificate trust patching for the client folder. Include tests and smoke checks. Look up current docs online if you need to.
