the launcher runs before Game:load, so #767's Strings hooks had nothing
filling the catalog and a restart could not help - the ordering is the same
every launch. reads lang/strings.lua from enabled mods only, data not the
entry chunk, sandboxed.
plus a plain pixel fallback on the ui faces, or the kana draw as tofu.
Opening Touch Controls dropped the launcher virtual cursor and swallowed
gamepad input while touch still worked. Share PadCursor with the save
editor, forward pad events, and centralize overlay handoff/resume so both
hosts park and re-arm the pointer cleanly.

The scattered per-call-site prefix rewrites were a parallel track that any
future newImage("assets/generated/...") would silently bypass. Replace
them with NxAssetOverlay: installed once from love.load on NX only, it
wraps newImage / newImageData / newSource / filesystem.read / getInfo so a
missing assets/generated path falls back to the active version's
blue|yellow copy. Call sites return to plain love loader calls, and
Assets.resolve goes back to being the platform-free mod-override point.
Two deliberate exceptions remain: the chip-audio worker (separate Lua
state) keeps receiving the prefix explicitly via audio.programPrefix, and
data/generated module loads keep using CacheFs.readActive.
A new guard test (tests/engine/nx_generated_guard_test.lua) fails CI on
any direct love loader call with a literal assets/generated path, so the
class of bug cannot regress by accident. scripts/test.sh --quick is
green across all tiers.

Skip per-frame mouse warps and FlexLove perf sampling on Switch, feed pad coords through a getPosition bridge, and park that shim before the save editor so desktop paths stay unchanged.

Bring FlexLove launcher UI ("big ui moment"), iOS picker dismiss, and Metal updates into the Switch NX branch. Keep pack_love (with libs/), NX inbox/rescan paths, SwitchDiagnostics, and Save Editor PadInput; port Scan again labels into LauncherView.

Route gamepad/touch into the editor instead of dropping them in editorMode,
and hit-test clicks at event coords so a finger tap is not lost under the
Joy-Con virtual cursor.

Bring feat/switch-nx up to date with origin/dev (72 commits). Resolve
Input/RomImporter conflicts by keeping GamepadMap (NX face remap + dual-path
gate) while adopting upstream joyBindings rebinds (#632) and Enable-all mods
(#647). Gate shoulder GAME SPEED hotkeys when Select is held so Select+L
display chords still work.

NX Play for Blue failed because mountVersion relied on absolute
PHYSFS_mount first. Prefer love.filesystem.mount of blue|yellow, overlay
generated trees by version prefix, and align CacheFs.prefix in bootGame.

Makes the iOS build a first-class citizen: ROM/mod/save import through
the system document picker (the README's missing "UIDocumentPicker
handoff"), Files-app drop-in support, and an opt-in Apple Health
step-sync seam consumed by a new gallery mod (Pokewalker).
Native layer (mobile/ios/native/, wired by mobile/ios/patch_love_src.py
on every build, so the fetched love-src tree stays pristine + re-patchable):
- GRPickerBridge.swift: love.system.pickFile("rom"|"mod"|"sav") and
love.system.createFile on iOS with the same contract as love-android's
SAF picker (picked_rom.gb / picked_mod.zip / picked_save.sav /
export_done.flag in the save dir). Reached from wrap_System.cpp via the
ObjC runtime, so liblove needs no Swift interop.
- GRBootstrap.m: sweeps .gb/.gbc/.zip/.sav dropped in Documents (Files
app / Finder sharing) into the save dir on every activation;
UIFileSharingEnabled + LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace in the plist
overlay. Drop a ROM, open the app, it imports with zero taps.
- GRHealthBridge.swift: love.system.syncHealthSteps() -> read-only
HealthKit step query anchored to the last sync, delivered as
steps_pending.json (merge-not-overwrite). HealthKit entitlement +
usage description included.
Lua:
- RomImporter: iOS rides the Android mobile flows; a 0.5s poll consumes
picker deliveries (iOS pickers are in-process modals, so the Android
refocus rescan never fires); failed pick copies surface as an
on-screen notice via pick_error.txt.
- main.lua: on iOS, stop forwarding touchpressed to the Importer - LOVE
already synthesizes a mousepressed for the primary touch, and the
resulting same-frame double-present made the document picker
auto-dismiss with zero documents (silent import failure).
- mods/pokewalker: opt-in Pokewalker mod (manifest v2, MECHANIC,
permissions declared, mod.card, CHANGELOG, headless test suite 9/9,
modkit validate --base imported + lint clean). Fused into iOS
game.love only; loads dormant anywhere without the bridge.
Build (scripts/build_ios.sh):
- Fix Xcode 26: the global PRODUCT_NAME override also renamed liblove.a
and broke the app link; the app bundle is renamed after the build
instead.
- Fix nondeterministic pack failures: grep -q + pipefail races SIGPIPE
on the game.love content checks.
- Simulator builds sign ad-hoc so entitlements embed (HealthKit works in
the simulator).
- Device builds: signing team auto-detected from the keychain,
CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Automatic + -allowProvisioningUpdates for CLI-only
provisioning, per-team derived bundle ID (explicit App IDs are
globally unique, so third parties can't sign the project default),
gitignored mobile/ios/bundle_id.local pin, and --install to push to a
connected iPhone.
- docs/ios-install.md: a zero-knowledge walkthrough from bare Mac to
playing on an iPhone.
Backward compatibility: no behavior change on desktop or Android. The
new love.system functions exist only under LOVE_IOS; RomImporter's
mobile flag simply includes iOS alongside Android; the main.lua change
is iOS-gated; the Pokewalker mod is packed only by the iOS build script
and its option defaults off.
Verified on an iPhone 17 Pro simulator and an iPhone 16 Pro device:
scripted ROM import to title screen, Files-drop zero-tap import,
picker-driven mod install and save import/export, HealthKit permission
sheet + step credit (4000 steps -> +200 EXP at the default rate through
the engine growth curve).
The reporter labels runs by abusing the in-game player name; give slots
a real label instead. SaveData.renameSlot persists a trimmed label in
the options registry (options.saveSlots[version].names) -- never in the
save file, so renaming needs no save rewrite and an empty slot can be
labeled too -- listSlots rows carry it as `label`, and deleteSlot
drops it with the slot.
In the launcher, right-clicking a slot row opens an inline rename modal
(Enter commits, Esc cancels, empty clears; 24 whole-codepoint cap via
local UTF-8 helpers, since plain luajit has no utf8 library). The row
title shows the label over the player name; badges/time/caught stay on
the meta line. Desktop-only: touch has no secondary button. main.lua
now forwards love.textinput to the importer while it is up.
Backend covered by a new renameSlot block in tests/engine/save_slots.lua
(78/78); docs/launcher.md's registry section documents the label.
