2026-10-25: Koopa Star save/reload/repeat credit VERIFIED

The first collection/save acceptance is documented in
native-koopa-pickup-save-verified-2026-10-25.txt. This follow-up ran the same
original title/FileA/castle/painting/Mission2 route in a fresh process seeded
only with the first accepted slot1.sav and minigames.sav. Seed checksums:
slot1 D81CB4E1A64694FE80C024A04B8A51F0728C130F567D66D65243FDC692C2CD1F;
minigames 519F44A34AA6A28F865F49A176A3C5ED7F9F1136151FCC9FA34980CE8BB229E6.
No user save was read or changed.

Private case native-muted-audio-walk-koopa-repeat-credit-r1-20261025-20261021
uses the same QA-only EXE SHA256 ff4fdaee69ba2fda45d809eca4e52bf7b3c9718ac0a93cf38668f1b31d797ff4.
From the loaded mask0x06/total2, the native Mission2 race repeats normally:
Mario touches flag251 at19795, Koopa finishes20255/won1/cannon0, and original
reward UID274/StarID2/kind4 is collected20866. Original course clear/save flow
returns to the castle. The second CRC-valid save retains mask0x06 and total2;
all other course masks and selected character match the seed. This confirms no
duplicate credit for this repeat. Native mixer errors0, submitted device samples
nonzero0, process exit0; normal living Wait/control restored at final frame28000.
Screenshots21000 show the reward celebration with total2;21500 the original
course-clear card. Seven focused CTests remain green from the identical EXE build.

Private checker work/check-koopa-pickup-save-20261025.py returns VERIFIED and
case-local pickup-save-acceptance.json records duplicate_credit_test=true.
The repeat acceptance checker validates collision with the original player's UID,
all reward states, no flag climb, CRC, original save event, only the expected Star
bit, unchanged other masks and unchanged minigames save.

No gameplay fix was needed after the first pilot route adjustment. The QA-only
input helper still walks around the flag before jumping to the reward. There was
no F install, source export/push or release. Public and installed builds remain
older. Continue broader game/PC feature work; this two-Star lifecycle milestone
does not establish full game completion or all-course correctness.
