New-Game / Party Setup (0x51F0-0x532C)

Observed sequence:

1. Copy roster slot words between two workspace tables.
2. Iterate party entries and copy selected per-character bytes.
3. Copy normalized data back to active table.
4. Run setup helpers (50A8, 802C, display/audio setup calls).
5. Branch on A4-$864E (new game flag) to alternate init path.
6. Clear input-state bytes (A4-$8663..A4-$8667) and return.

Session Start/Refresh (LAB_545E)

Used both in startup-adjacent flow and in runtime transitions:

• Drives mode setup through -$83CE / -$83C2.
• Calls UI format helper (LAB_533A) in some branches.
• Routes through LAB_53C8 and then either -$8152 or LAB_5D7C.

This routine appears to be the common "resume interactive play" gate.

Utility Formatter (LAB_533A)

Builds a small argument pack from workspace lookup tables and calls a helper (LAB_4304), likely formatting text/UI labels for current party state.
