Crab ChampionsArchipelago randomizer mod

Compatibility notes

• Install the 1.4.0 APWorld and mod together. The maintainer states compatibility with 1.3 seeds; these keep the older completion rule. The client rejects a different location-ID layout before accepting the slot.
• The documented installation uses the Windows x64 game and UE4SS 3.0.1, with Archipelago 0.6.4 or newer. Install both CrabChampionsAP and CrabInvMngmt, and preserve the required load order when merging mods.txt with an existing setup.
• Keep an independent backup of the original game save before connecting. The mod temporarily changes equipment unlocks and account values and keeps its own backup, but backup creation and restoration are not atomic and their full success is not enforced before continuing.
• Reconnect handling now resets crystal and overflow state, but pending checks remain in memory. Interrupted native sends, restarts and switching rooms are not protected by a durable acknowledgement ledger; verify important checks and completion after reconnecting.
• The client can advance its received-item index after a failed grant or missing native asset. Delayed inventory batches are not explicitly tied to a connection generation, so complete interruption recovery is not established.
• The masked room password is nevertheless saved in plaintext in ap_config.json. Treat configuration files as private. A secure transport policy could not be verified for the unidentified native networking build.
• The distributed Lua files match the tagged source and the APWorld matches after line-ending normalization. The two native DLLs are prebuilt in that repository without complete source/build and redistribution notices; their internals and complete provenance remain unverified.
• No independent game session was performed for this review. Linux/Proton support and compatibility with an exact game build are not established by the supplied package.
