PR #1587 fixed something worse — folders past the max depth setting looked empty when opened, because the depth cap didn't know the difference…
That pattern shows up elsewhere. PR #1589 found that autorun could start a new run over a leftover halt marker from a previous run, and report the wrong reason for stopping. Commit 1e706c7 found that peak usage stats could get overwritten at launch, silently erasing a user's all-time high scores. And two media…
