- Added dedicated profile control in the MODS panel for easier profile management.
- Implemented dependency checking during mod installation and updates to ensure compatibility.
- Improved manifest parsing to support GitHub repository hints for dependencies.
- Enhanced UI interactions for saving and renaming profiles.
- Updated tests to cover new functionality and ensure stability.
A platform-specific launcher wrapper (a native shell embedding this engine,
owning its own UI around the game window) needs to pause the simulation
while its own UI is on top, live-reload options it wrote outside any Lua
UI, and veto main.lua's "closing the window returns to the Lua launcher"
behavior when it owns that job itself. Implementing this by hand-patching
main.lua's love.update/love.quit directly ties every such integration to
editing the one file every other engine change also touches, guaranteeing
merge conflicts. No existing hook covers "should the per-frame simulation
step run" or "should closing the window return to the Lua launcher."
Adds two generic, additive hooks (src/core/PlatformHooks.lua): core.update
and core.quit_to_launcher, replacing what would otherwise be inline
main.lua special-casing. Also adds Manifest.force_enable_env, letting a
mod that cannot function disabled on the one build where its env var is
set (a platform-bridge mod bundled only with that build) re-enable itself
regardless of a saved disable.
RFC 0006 status: Proposed.
A manifest whose name, version, description, or category carries invalid
UTF-8 (a BOM, Latin-1 bytes) crashed the launcher's MODS panel, since
love.graphics.printf raises on invalid UTF-8. Manifest.validate now drops
invalid bytes and a leading BOM from those strings, in place so the
badge's raw.category read agrees.
