Caches do not hold a game launch; shader pools per game; FEX caches built on the device - #2416
The FEX code cache check and the shared shader cache check both ran before the game process started, with blocking HTTP calls. On a network that is connected but dead (captive portal, server hang, weak signal) or slow, they could hold a launch for minutes. This PR removes that and changes how both caches are filled.
Shared shader cache
The pool key is the game only. It no longer includes the DXVK and vkd3d versions. Fossilize entries are content-addressed, so one pool per game is valid across versions. The versions are still sent with an upload as optional metadata. Old pool files in a container are removed on the next launch, recording sessions written before the update still upload, and the replay stamp changes once.
Download as a step of the game install. For Steam it runs right after the cloud save step and shows "Preparing shaders" with a percentage on the install; for GOG, Epic and Amazon it runs just before the install is marked complete. The pool is staged in app storage, because a game has no container until its first launch. The step never fails an install, and pausing or cancelling the install cancels it. Staged pools are deleted on uninstall.
Check at app start. About 10 seconds after app start, one background request asks which installed games have a pool and at which version. Nothing is downloaded then.
At launch. A staged pool is moved into the container locally. Then:
if the start check covered the game and the local pool is current, or the game has no pool: no network request;
if the pool changed: it is downloaded and installed;
if the check did not cover the game: the launch does the lookup itself.
Limits. The lookup waits at most 3 seconds and is abandoned, not cancelled, after that (it can include an account token refresh that must finish). A download stops at once when cancelled (Call.executeCancellable), fails after 15 s without data, and ends after 180 s in total.
Skip button. While a pool download or the replay runs, the booting splash shows a Skip button. It ends the step and the launch continues. A skipped replay is not marked as done, so it runs on the next launch.
FEX code caches
Built on the device. The device compiles code caches from its own code maps with the offline compiler that ships in the FEX pack. The lookup and download of server-hosted caches before launch, with its 6-hour recheck stamp, are removed.
When. Before the game starts, as the first pre-launch step, with a "Building code cache… (i/n)" status and the Skip button. Skip stops the build and starts the game; what was not built stays pending. A build also runs in the background after a session, so the next launch usually has nothing to do; a launch stops a background build that is still running and finishes its work.
What is rebuilt. The compiler regenerates an image's whole cache, so an image is built when it has no valid cache, or when the blocks recorded since its last build reach 10% of what the cache was built from. A FEX version or codegen setting change deletes the caches before the next start.
Bounds. One run is limited to 10 minutes, a container's caches to 512 MB, and one compile runs at a time.
Settings. The single "FEX code caches" toggle becomes two: "Upload FEX code maps" (on by default; keeps the old toggle's stored value) and "Use FEX code caches (experimental)" (off by default; disabled while upload is off). With "use" off, a container's built caches are deleted at its next launch. The code map upload itself is unchanged.
Failures in any of these steps never fail a launch or an install.
Device test (Odin 3, modern debug build)
App start: one check 10 s after start ("Checked 42 games, 3 have a pool"); no pool file changed.
Launch with a newer pool (The Forest): 21.6 MB downloaded in about 7.3 s, replay in 0.7 s, old three-part-key files removed. A second launch in the same app session made no shader cache request and no replay.
Skip during a pool download: the launch continued within 0.5 s and no .part file was left.
FEX build at launch (Brotato, FEX 2611-gn-6): 5 caches, 227.6 MB, in 10.7 s; the game started with them in place.
A normal session afterwards recorded 809 new blocks (5.7%): no rebuild after exit and none at the next launch ("Nothing to build", at most 11 ms).
Skip during the FEX build: the game process started 1.4 s after the tap; no partial cache was left; the build completed after the session.
A launch 2.3 s after an exit stopped the background build in 0.8 s and built before the start.
"Use" off: the caches were deleted at launch and the game started without them. The disabled toggle did not respond to taps.
Not verified: the pool download during an install (no small uninstalled game with a server pool was on the test device), Skip during a shader replay, a launch on a dead network, any launch-time or in-game gain from the FEX caches, a 32-bit game, and a container that is not an overlay prefix.
Recording
None. Screenshots of the Skip button and the settings are in the test notes.

…work
The FEX cache check runs on every launch (no 6-hour stamp) and waits at most 3 s for the lookup. Downloads stop at once when cancelled, fail after 15 s without data, end after 180 s in total, and can be skipped with a Skip button on the loading dialog and the booting splash. The shader pool lookup waits at most 3 s and its download and replay can be skipped the same way.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.

Walkthrough
The change adds on-device FEX code-cache compilation, updates shader-pool keys and startup checks, and adds cancellable launch preparation with Skip controls. It removes the hosted FEX cache download path and updates translated-code settings text.
Pool keys now contain the game identifier. Startup checks return pool version, size, and entry counts. Session records and upload metadata carry DXVK and VKD3D versions separately.
FEX maps are merged and retained for offline compilation. The workflow tracks build settings and cache results and enforces age and storage limits. The former hosted FEX cache path is removed. Settings text describes on-device preparation.
Startup pool checks and stoppable launch work app/src/main/java/app/gamenative/shadercache/FossilizeManager.kt, app/src/main/java/app/gamenative/utils/NetworkUtils.kt, app/src/main/java/app/gamenative/api/SupportApi.kt
Pool preparation reuses startup results and uses bounded, cancellable network work.
Replay offers a Skip action. The loading dialog and splash layouts show Skip controls when an action is available. Language resources provide translated labels.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review e57de
Two minor robustness issues remain in the new launch and cache code: a rare HTTP response leak on cancellation, and a possible leftover background compile process after a stop. Neither blocks normal launches, but the owners should be aware of them or follow up.

Explanation
The title names three changes that appear in the changeset: FEX caches built on the device, shader pools keyed per game, and caches no longer blocking a game launch. The changeset covers all three, so the title matches the main changes. The title is long (17 words) and uses a semicolon-separated list, which makes it less concise than preferred. It does not cover the Skip button, the install-time pool download, or the settings changes.

The description follows the repository template. It includes a Description section that explains what changed and why, a Type of Change section with two boxes checked, and a Checklist. The Recording section says 'None' and points to test notes, which does not meet the template's request for an attached recording. The template's recording item is also unchecked. The description is detailed and covers the shader pool, FEX cache, and Skip button changes, along with device test results and unverified items.

Shader cache: the pool key is the game only. At app start one background request checks which installed games have a newer pool; nothing is downloaded then. A launch downloads the pool only when it changed, with the existing limits and Skip, and makes no request when the check found nothing new.
FEX: after a session the device compiles code caches from its own code maps with the pack's offline compiler, in the background, limited to 10 minutes per run and 512 MB per container, and stopped when a launch starts. The hosted cache lookup and download are removed. The code map upload is unchanged.

Keep the compile process tracked until it exits.
After a stop or the 10-minute limit, the code runs wineserver -k and joins run for at most 5 seconds. If run is still active, nothing cancels or awaits it, and the code releases the compile marker. run is launched from scope, not from the job that holds the marker. The compile then clears the staging directory while the compiler can still write into it. Output that arrives later is not collected, and the leftover compiler can keep running.
A later compile does wait in waitForWineToExit. That check skips the compile after 15 seconds if Wine processes still run. It prevents an overlap only when ProcessHelper.listRunningWineProcesses() reports the orphaned compiler. Keep the process handle for compile.bat. Wait for its termination, or stop it at the process level, before releasing job. A coroutine cancel does not stop the blocking execShellCommand call.

… path
A thin container's prefix is only overlaid on its base prefix when WINEPREFIX matches the overlay's
upper dir or one of its aliases. The compile passed the non-canonical imagefs/home path, so Wine saw
only the upper layer and stopped at kernel32.dll. Use the canonical host path the overlay is set up with.
The install downloads the game's pool into app storage after the cloud
save step (Steam) or just before the install is marked complete (GOG,
Epic, Amazon), shown as a post-install step. It never fails an install,
is bounded like the launch download, and stops when the install is
cancelled or paused. The first launch moves the staged pool into the
container and waits on a download still in flight instead of starting
a second one. Staged pools are removed on uninstall and, at app start,
for games no longer installed.

P2: Startup cleanup can delete a just-finished pool for Amazon, Epic, or GOG: those callers persist installed state after staging, while this code prunes after the staging job is removed. Keep the install key protected until persistence completes or reorder the persistence and staging steps.

The build that ran only in the background after a session never ran when the
app was closed right after a game. A FEXCore launch now merges any waiting
maps and compiles the images without a current cache before the guest starts,
with its progress on the booting splash and a Skip button. Skip or leaving the
launch stops the compile at once; finished caches stay and the rest waits for
the next build. The background build after a session stays; a launch still
stops it and picks up what it left.
A cache is rebuilt only once its image recorded 10% more blocks than it was
built from, since every compile rebuilds the whole cache.
The single FEX setting becomes two: uploading code maps (on by default, keeps
the old setting's stored value) and using code caches (experimental, off by
default, unavailable while the upload is off). While caches are off, a
container's built caches are deleted at its next launch, because the switch
that records maps also loads caches.

- A step only withdraws its own Skip offer, so a late finish cannot hide a newer step's button.
- A response that arrives while its call is cancelled is closed.
- A staged pool counts only when its size matches; a leftover partial download is deleted at launch.
- Adopting a staged pool keeps the container's pool until the replacement and its metadata are written.
- An uninstall during the install-time download leaves no staged pool, and a launch waits for a step that has not started yet.
- The start-up cleanup keeps pools staged in this process, whose installed state can be written after the step.
- GOG install step events carry the game's id; a GOG uninstall that cannot run keeps the staged pool.
- The start-up check no longer swallows cancellation.
- Turning off the map upload shows the cache toggle off at once.
- The upload size is described as usual, not guaranteed.
… starts
- With code caches off, a session's end links and merges nothing.
- All stops of one compile for a launch share a single wait.
- The exit path takes its own session's launcher before running anything in the background.
- A prerequisite installer start neither invalidates, builds nor loads code caches.
Its setup (status text, install event) ran outside the step's error guard, so an exception there failed the install. All of it is guarded now. This is what failed three GOG download tests.

Description
The FEX code cache check and the shared shader cache check both ran before the game process started, with blocking HTTP calls. On a network that is connected but dead (captive portal, server hang, weak signal) or slow, they could hold a launch for minutes. This PR removes that and changes how both caches are filled.
Shared shader cache
Call.executeCancellable), fails after 15 s without data, and ends after 180 s in total.FEX code caches
Failures in any of these steps never fail a launch or an install.
Device test (Odin 3, modern debug build)
.partfile was left.Not verified: the pool download during an install (no small uninstalled game with a server pool was on the test device), Skip during a shader replay, a launch on a dead network, any launch-time or in-game gain from the FEX caches, a 32-bit game, and a container that is not an overlay prefix.
Recording
None. Screenshots of the Skip button and the settings are in the test notes.
