Captain's Log
Not every log ends with a fix. This one's just for the record: a module crashes on load, and two separate hypotheses for why have both turned out to be wrong tonight.
Ruled out a signature mismatch. Ruled out stale generated files. Both looked promising, both dead ends. Still don't have the real answer.
Writing it down anyway, mostly so future-me doesn't waste a night re-testing the same two dead ends. Whatever this actually is, it's still out there.
