Preserve negotiated content and dual-raster pass gates. Retain both fixture assertion sets and HD-off seams. Regenerate both BIOS with actual native emitter. Fix type-only rollback corrections and exclude extra-pad changes from digital-only promote gates.
A [[plugin]] may declare netplay = "local_view": it only changes what one
player sees. A netplay session now keeps the player's own features whose every
contribution is such a plugin (no writes, overlays or derived discs) instead of
clearing them, without saving state.toml. They activate as usual, but their
hooks run only inside psx_mod_render_local_view (psx_mod_local_view_scope) and
their vblank/savestate callbacks not at all. With such a plan the widescreen
cull margin is the stock 0 in the shared game and this peer's own margin only
inside the sandboxed own-view draw; squash is not used. The canonical frame,
snapshots and digests stay identical on every peer whatever each player chose,
so nothing is negotiated, and each keeps their own aspect.
Tests: netplay_view_mods_test (flag, plan filter, parked hooks, no vblank,
state.toml untouched), ws_local_view_margin_test (margin scope), render-pass
sandbox asserts the scope around a local view.
