Economy design: status.json player counts (#5975)

Collecting practical notes so new server owners avoid the same traps. Scripts are Lua-only so far; no C++ patches in this branch. Environment: Ubuntu 22.04, 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, MariaDB 10.11. Would you accept this as a draft tutorial under Learn Track?

If you share the stacktrace (redact IPs), I can compare with our build.
