Two results, both from a safe probe.
Slot 03 was given SHAB[0] = (a=1, b=12345, c=60000) -- a one-minute best time --
and MISSION SELECT still showed 4612 P EASY / 05:24.77 EASY, i.e. slot 01's
numbers. So the title-menu screens read the AUTO-SAVE, and any probe written to
a throwaway slot is invisible there. The previous SHAB identification is
unaffected: it matched slot 01's own bytes, which is what the screen renders.
The consequence is a decision, not a task: mapping the difficulty enum (a) or
testing b needs slot 01 itself edited -- the only save with real progress. Left
undone deliberately and flagged in the doc; a full content backup exists and
slot 01's bytes are archived, so it is recoverable, but it is the user's call.
Also: High Score 4612 is stored NOWHERE. It is absent from both .gpd profile
files, all three saves (compressed and inflated) and xconfig.settings, while the
best time 324773 is present in slot 01 alone. The score is computed at display
time, which is why SHAB[0].b = 4101 does not equal it.
