bootGame's require("src.core.Game") was resolving to Gen2Compat's Game
facade after a Gold session, so the next Gen 1 boot got an empty proxy
whose rawget(load) is nil (iOS: "src.core.Game missing load after
reload"; Android: Game:load called on a nil value).
Two independent causes, both needed:
* callerIsMod decided "not under src/" meant "a mod", and main.lua is
not under src/, so the engine's own require was gated as a mod's.
Root chunks main.lua and conf.lua are now matched exactly, which a
mod's own mods/<id>/main.lua cannot collide with.
* devShim.generation was only ever set, never cleared, so the
generation Gold declared outlived Gold's session. Loader.endSession
drops it from SessionLifecycle.endMountedSession, and the facade
gate now requires generation == 2 rather than ~= 1.
Only platforms that return to the launcher in-process (Android, and iOS
since #1808) keep the shim alive across sessions; everywhere else the
process restart cleared it.
Stop joining ChipAudio on every EXIT GAME, always rebuild the Gen1 Game
module on Play-again, and treat iOS like Android for return-to-launcher so
release/mobile LOVE restarts no longer wipe Game.load or crash on quit.
Stop fanning out arbitrary field:release() during Game/Game2 reset — shared
modules use :release as a handle API, and that teardown left the Gen1
singleton unbootable (Game:load nil) on Play-again. Harden bootGame and
endGameSession to rebuild the module if load is missing.
- Replaced `teardownMountedSession` and `flushEditorPackageLoaded` with a unified `SessionLifecycle` approach for managing session transitions and resource cleanup.
- Implemented `SessionLifecycle.endEditorSession` and `SessionLifecycle.endGameSession` to streamline the teardown process for editor and game sessions.
- Introduced `Assets.releaseSession` to handle GPU resource release at session end, ensuring efficient memory management.
- Updated `Game` and `Game2` reset methods to include world and canvas resource releases.
- Enhanced `MapLoader` with a new `releaseAll` method for eager GPU cache cleanup.
- Added tests to verify the new session lifecycle functionality and resource management.
This commit improves the stability and performance of in-process transitions, particularly during editor and game session changes.
further improves and addresses #1662 specifically around android gc pressure.
