Changelog

0.3.1

Rewritten from scratch. 0.1.0 did not work. it looked for its own helper under a folder name the package no longer had, so it gave up before ever reaching Fusion. Everything below is new.

• Finds its own folder instead of guessing at it, so the namespace it is published under no longer matters.
• No executable any more. The whole mod is Lua now, which is also why it works on Linux and the Steam Deck. the old helper needed .NET, which a Proton prefix does not have, so on those machines 0.1.0 did nothing at all.
• Turns off mods that claim the same prop list as Fusion, and names them on a page over the main menu with a Back button to dismiss it. The pak is renamed aside, never deleted, and comes back on its own once nothing is fighting it. A mod claiming a list nobody else wants is left alone.
• Forces a fresh Fusion build when your mod list changes, so a mod you just installed does not keep spawning as error.
• Leaves Fusion alone when Fusion already started itself correctly. 0.1.0's approach would have run it two or three times over.
• Starting Fusion no longer freezes the game while it works.
• Reads Fusion's log and names the pak it was reading when it failed, on your next launch. Fusion says nothing about this itself.
• Writes FusionFix.log and FusionFix-report.txt next to the mod, which is everything anyone needs to see what happened.
• Finds Fusion wherever it is installed rather than requiring one exact folder name, and takes a fusion_dir override for anything unusual.
• Warns when your profile uses an overlay folder, because Fusion drops it when it restarts the game and those mods vanish for that session.
• Optional config: enabled, conflict_action, language, launch, preview_notice, fusion_dir, launch_debounce_seconds, force_full_rebuild, verbose.

Known limitation, documented in the README: a mod that replaces the prop list wholesale cannot be merged back in from outside Fusion. It gets turned off and named, and the fix belongs in that mod.
