The launcher item closes: unattended boot to Stage 02 flight works again, and the
entry now names all three defects that were in the way, including the
wait_flight pixel that was outside the HUD.
The objective-counter item stays open but is sharper: a HUD-clean scan exists,
and the surviving candidate that is hard to dismiss is named with the odds
against it being chance. The blocker is now the pilot's survival, not the method.
Also withdraws yesterday's claim that the "Auto-Save is active. OK?" dialog does
not return - the run that appeared to show that was tapping A every six seconds
while it waited, so it cannot distinguish "absent" from "dismissed unseen".

The baseline binary, the profile, the Stage 02 save and the caches all live
outside both repos and had been wiped, and sylph-doctor reports 'all good'
without them. This is the recipe, verified by driving it to Stage 02 flight
rather than by inspecting files.
Three things worth having found:
* the baseline is an INCREMENTAL build, not a scratch one -- auto/upstream-baseline
differs from the instrumented branch in 202 files and zero submodule gitlinks,
so checking it out in the shared tree and rebuilding into the existing build dir
takes ~9 min at -j4. git worktree prune first; a dead worktree still claims the
branch.
* the baseline CANNOT make a profile (--create_profile_if_none is one of our 50
commits) and the Sign In dialog cannot be typed into, so bootstrap the profile
with the instrumented binary once and run the baseline against it.
* the Xbox content .header is NOT needed -- ContentManager::ListContent falls back
to the directory name when ReadContentHeaderFile fails, checked in the source.
The LOAD GAME screen then shows date, difficulty, flight time and clear ratio
anyway, which proves those come out of savedata itself. No header was fabricated.
Trap paid for once: keep the file name xenia_canary. A copy saved as
xenia_canary.baseline-... survives every pkill -x in the toolkit and holds the
run-canary lockfile while ps -C xenia_canary shows nothing.
