The idea

Before a pull request's build starts for the first time, the launcher backs up the saves every version shares (as Manage saves > Export does), and offers them back after. Better still, as the mock in #337 showed, a pull request's build gets saves of its own.

Why: these builds run code nobody has reviewed, against the player's real saves. The picker asks people to export first, which is easy to skip.

Anything else

A follow-up of #337 (testing pull requests from the launcher): CI in #353, the launcher's picker in LongshotLauncher pull request 59.

Idea: install a pull request's build from the Longshot Launcher, to help test it #337

Opened by mistake: its idea is now a follow-up in the list on #337. Closing; a maintainer may delete it.
