Root-caused the post-rebuild boot failure: 1. MSBuild's duckstation-qt target does NOT include the Qt resource compile. The separate duckstation-qt-rcc target produces build/bin/resources/duckstation-qt.rcc (~740 KB). Without it the binary shows a "duckstation-qt.rcc could not be loaded" dialog and exits. build.sh now builds both targets in one MSBuild invocation. 2. A first-time GUI launch is also required so DuckStation's setup wizard can write out a working settings.ini. Our auto-generated settings.ini (with SetupWizardIncomplete=false etc.) is insufficient — the wizard records other fields (probably Graphics API init, controller profile, achievement opt-out) that are needed for headless emulation to start. Thanks to mstanley for running the wizard interactively. After those two fixes, verified end-to-end: - `python3 tools/duckstation/launch.py -bios -nogui -fastboot` runs - port 4371 binds - read_ram 0x00079D9C returns an incrementing VSync counter - read_ram 0x000DFEE0 returns 0x8005A5BC (VBlank chain handler — patch live) - pc_break_list responds (proves my compile-but-untested pc_break family from the uncommitted additions is now tested via embedded binary) tools/duckstation/launch.py — detached-spawn wrapper (uses CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP only, no DETACHED_PROCESS so the GUI stays visible on first-run). Moved from tools/launch_ds_detached.py to live alongside setup.sh / build.sh / README.md. README updated to replace the "known issue" section with the correct recovery steps.
