Skyrim Load Progress 1.0.8.0

Skyrim Load Progress 1.0.8.0

This release focuses on stability during fast travel and other queued exterior transitions.

What changed

• Fixed a suspected crash path during carriage travel, map fast travel, and mod-driven exterior travel.
• Skyrim Load Progress no longer reads exterior destination cells through Skyrim's TESWorldSpace::cellMap while the loading menu is opening.
• Exterior destination checks now use only Skyrim's active grid cell array, which avoids touching cell-map data that can be changing during travel.
• If the destination cell is not already safely available in the active grid, the transition falls back to the normal cold-loading presentation.
• Interior travel keeps using Skyrim's queued interior destination cell directly.
• Added diagnostic logging around queued destination resolution when loading logging is enabled.

This change is intentionally conservative: it may choose a cold-loading presentation in a few ambiguous cases, but it avoids the risky worldspace cell-map lookup that appeared in crash reports.

Also in this build

• A plugin failure now disables both the progress meter and the custom transition together, and restores a suppressed Fader Menu before giving up.
• Loading work is counted only after the load epoch is published, so completions that arrive while the epoch is starting are not dropped.
• When a destination that is already loaded is not visible in the active grid and the load falls back to the cold loading menu, LoadingMenu fades in over loading_menu_fade_in_ms (default 600). Set it to 0 for the previous immediate appearance.
• show_hud_during_loading = false stays hidden for the whole custom presentation, including the post-load fade. The retained background is taken from the pre-HUD frame, so the HUD is not baked into the loading screen.
