[Multiplayer Center] Hosting Model Doesn't Reset to Recommended When Re-selecting Default Netcode Solution

-

*Steps to reproduce:*
# Create a new Unity project
# Navigate to Window > Multiplayer > Multiplayer Center
# Select a Genre, e.g., Arcade or Card
# Select a Number of Players per Session, e.g., 2–8
# Observe the default Netcode Solution and Hosting Model auto-selected
# Change the Netcode Solution to a different option
# Observe how the Hosting Model updates accordingly
# Return to the default Netcode Solution (e.g., Netcode for GameObjects - Recommended)
# Observe the Hosting Model again

\\
*Actual results:* The Hosting Model resets to "Client," even though the default recommendation was "Distributed Authority - Recommended"

*Expected results:* When re-selecting the recommended Netcode Solution, the Hosting Model should also revert to the recommended pairing — i.e., "Distributed Authority - Recommended"

\\
*Reproducible with versions:* 6000.0.47f1, 6000.1.0f1, 6000.2.0a9

*Not reproducible with versions:* 2022.3.61f1 (No "Multiplayer Center" window is unavailable)

\\
*Tested on (OS):* macOS 15.5 (Silicon M4)

  1. Resolution Note:

    The switch from Distributed Authority to Client Hosted happens only because there is no Distributed Authority or Host Migration available for N4E yet. so this is a fallback, as Client Hosted ist the closest of what N4E offers today.

    while actively going back to Netcode for GameObjects and restoring this kinda makes sense at first sight, please consider that in general the hosting model is a independent user choice and we dont want to reset/override that.

    e.g. selecting Dedicated Server explicitely before changing to Netcode for Entities in the given case, stays in Dedicated Server, as this is valid with (and independent of) any netcode choice
