Save & Quit title return -- 2026-10-17
Status: VERIFIED locally and from the installed F: replay launcher.

The original course-clear Save & Quit path calls StartSceneFade(1,0,0).
Native profile1 (dScDSMT original menu) was registered only when the ORIGINAL_MENU
startup option was set. Course-picker sessions therefore destroyed the stage
and had no native scene to create; captures2700/3000/3600 were solid green.
Save writes had already succeeded. This was a title return bug, not save loss.

Fix: register existing native DSMT profile1 for every game session. Boot chooses
its destination separately, so development course-picker startup is preserved.
Original src/include untouched. Only port/hal/actor_vtables.cpp gameplay change.

Local and installed controller replays use separate QA saves, actual player
contact1791, collection1792, original celebration/course clear and touch of
Save & Quit at2500:128:96. Primary save CRC and course masks checked: total6->7,
course0mask0->2, other29 course masks unchanged. Title reloads primary file0.
Final stage/player actors absent (DSMT is a scene, not a dActor); active 3D title
renders and actual screenshots show Mario head,Adventure,VS,Rec Room. This
establishes return to title, not subsequent File A re-entry or all menu flows.
Both runs finish3800 frames,exit0; finalizer passed and actual installed title screenshots were inspected.

Build passes;52/52 CTests27.46s. Strict verifier checks contact,collection,
live and disk credit,commit,reload,stage teardown and post-quit rendering.
8 negative checks include the actual old blank-screen failure; all reject.
Manual screenshot inspection establishes correct title artwork; triangle counts
alone are not treated as proof of title fidelity.

preserved under previous-install. Watch Power Star Save and Quit Test.cmd runs
the same labelled near-player Power Star fixture with resettable isolated saves.
User ROM,real saves and root settings unchanged. Full port remains incomplete.
Next bounded regression: course-clear Continue without saving. Luna Medium
remains suitable, with no model switch currently recommended.
