ARMSX2 nightly 20260822 (1b737e25f0)

Automated nightly build for community testing (unsigned).

Every download is named ARMSX2-nightly-DATE-COMMIT-PLATFORM, so builds
from different nights stay distinguishable after you have downloaded them.

• macOS arm64: macOS-arm64.tar.xz
• Linux arm64: Linux-arm64-4K-pages.AppImage on most distros, or the 16K one on Asahi Linux and other Apple Silicon kernels (run getconf PAGESIZE if unsure)
• Windows arm64: Windows-arm64.zip
• RetroArch on Linux arm64: Linux-arm64-libretro-core.tar.zst, a 4K-page build
• Bare-display kmsdrm handhelds: Linux-arm64-SDL-handheld.tar.zst, a 4K-page build (Rocknix and Batocera run compositors, so use the Qt AppImage there instead)
• Android: Android-arm64.apk, sideload it
• iOS: iOS-arm64.ipa, unsigned, sideload it

What's new

• iOS: give CI builds the RetroAchievements client identity
• GS: remove the texture-replacement diagnostics
• Patches: a toggle that changes no patch= lines still has to write the enable list

• Patch: delete the enable-list purge
• Patch: stop the enable-list purge switching off patches people chose
• GS: fall back to another palette variant when the exact one is absent

• GS: drop the palette substitution, keep what it taught us
• GS: palette fallback picks the NEWEST variant, and names every candidate
• GS: report replacement files shadowed by an earlier file
• GS: palette-relaxed replacement fallback (TEST BUILD, not for release)
• GS: print the pack's own filenames, instead of asking the player for them
• GS: make the replacement diagnostics able to answer the question
• GS: say whether replacement lookups are hitting, not just how many indexed

• Android: take a card snapshot at launch, and offer the restore
• Android: rolling per-card memory card snapshots
• Android: flush memory card writes when the app is backgrounded
• SIO/Memcard: refuse a card write whose read-back failed
• Settings: a knob missing from the key table should not be a crash
