arcattackandClaude Opus 5 35bdb505df join bats keep the previous session's log as join.old.log
Conn Man's owens-laser crash stack (#35) was in his join.log -- and re-running
join.bat deleted it before it could be sent.  The bat now rotates instead:
join.log -> join.old.log at launch.  One generation of history, the exact
insurance that would have closed #35 tonight.

rem ------------------------------------------------------------------
rem HANDOFF WAIT (2026-07-25). The front end does NOT stay resident: it
rem CreateProcess()es the mission generation and ExitProcess(0)s itself
rem (btl4console.cpp). So OUR child exiting means "the menu handed off",
rem NOT "the game closed" -- without this wait the window announced "The
rem game has exited" while the game was still loading, which reads as a
rem crash to a playtester. Wait for the handed-off generation(s) to go.
rem
rem NO EXTERNAL TOOLS: `find`, `findstr` and `timeout` are all shadowed by
rem Git-Bash / MSYS / GnuWin32 builds of the same names when those are on
rem PATH (a dev box, or a player who installed git). The MSYS `find` is
rem the Unix one and dies with "find: '/I': No such file or directory",
rem and GNU `timeout` takes different arguments. So: parse tasklist with
rem a pure-cmd for/f, and call both helpers by ABSOLUTE System32 path.
rem A genuinely dead exe leaves no process and falls straight through, so
rem the #41 launch forensics above still work. If tasklist is missing
rem entirely the loop degrades to reporting immediately -- the old
rem behaviour, never a hang.
