 **v0.4.0 decision (user, 09-28):** `Game.SkipIntro` stays **EXPERIMENTAL — not recommended for regular users yet**, alongside its older unrooted audio-break report (D216 status note). The F10 row is relabelled "Skip intro (EXPERIMENTAL)" (`port/src/optionsoverlay.c`, mirroring the D387 AllUnlocked labelling precedent); the config var, default (off), and `lv.c` hook are unchanged.
 
 **Status:** OPEN — cosmetic (no crash, no data loss; the mission still records as failed/aborted and the menus are fully functional). Root-causing needs a side-by-side of front-end state (`current_menu`, `g_CurrentStageToLoad`, `mission_failed_or_aborted`, `g_isBondKIA`) on the fail return with SkipIntro off vs on — candidate for v0.5.0 alongside the D216 audio half.

+## D420 — crouched-rifle firing animation never resolved on PC (linker adjacency) -> MP crash (2026-09-28)
+
+**Symptom.** SIGSEGV in `modelConstrainOrWrapAnimFrame` from `playerTick`
+(bondview2.c ~11021) with `anim = 0xb84`, when a multiplayer player
+crouch-fires a rifle (found by the 5PLUS bot runs: Complex, 4 seats, M16,
+frame 5030; present in the 0.9.x friend bundles). Found on
+`exp/5plus-multiplayer` as "D341" (renamed D420 here: D341 is upstream's).
+
+**Root cause (layout, porting-notes §D5 "linker adjacency", D164 class).**
+`firing_animation_groups[1][5]` points at `crouched_rifle_firing_animation_groupA`
+(chr.c). The tables hold anim *offsets*; `initWeaponAnimGroups` ->
+`initResolveAnimGroupTable` rebases each table up to its zero terminator.
+`crouched_rifle_firing_animation_group1` has ONE entry and **no terminator**:
+on N64 .data is laid out in source order, so resolving group1 walks on into
+groupA (resolving it too, len 2). GCC placed groupA *below* group1, so
+groupA[0] kept the raw offset `PTR_ANIM_fire_kneel_left_leg` (0xB84) and
+`modelSetAnimation` received it as a `ModelAnimation*`. Side effect before
+the fix: crouching rifle guards saw len 1 instead of the N64's 2.
+
+**Not covered upstream:** upstream D392 (chraction.c firing-table fields)
+and D336 (bondhead.c) are different sites; chr.c/chr.h were unchanged on
+09278407.
+
+**Fix (8595a06e, `#ifdef PORT`, `#else` = decomp):** chr.c one array
+`{kneel_right_leg, kneel_left_leg, terminator}` (exactly the N64 layout);
+chr.h `#define crouched_rifle_firing_animation_groupA
+(&crouched_rifle_firing_animation_group1[1])`. Resolution and len are the
+N64's; no logic change. Upstream candidate (a real port bug).
+
+**Verified (programmer, 5plus + main):** repro (4 seats, bots, Complex,
+pinned seed, 18 078 frames x3) no crash, SH identical across runs; 8 seats
+remote mines no crash; every firing/struck anim table in chr.c scanned --
+this was the only unterminated one; gdb scan of all 24
+`firing_animation_groups` entries at run time: 1 bad pointer before, 0 after
+(also 0 on the main-line cherry-pick); P1 gate (1 324 recordings, frame
+dumps) unchanged; netplay 2P/4P identical.
