The tour rides the wire: your friend plays in the body they picked

A tour is which body you play in, so it belongs in the look message next to the
kit, the skin and the name. Without it both phones drew the friend in whatever
tour THIS phone had picked, and a men's/women's pairing showed each player
someone their friend was not using.

`oTour()` is the one accessor — yours everywhere, theirs in netplay — and it
feeds the three things that must agree about a body: the sprite suffix, how the
art takes a colour (her whites wash, his blue dyes) and the palm the idle ball
bounces under. An older build sends no tour and falls back to ours, which is
what it did before.

The palm knobs were re-checked against the new front sheets rather than assumed
— the poses were copied, so the ball still lands under the drawn hand.
