The game starts a small helper of itself early (longshot --crash-watch), which waits for
the game to end and, after a crash, an unclean end or a start that could not go on, shows
"Longshot closed unexpectedly" with when, why where known, and Report / Open the log
folder / Close. Report copies a redacted plain-text report, writes it beside the crash
records and opens the game-problem issue form; nothing is sent by the game. A quit never
counts (noted first in rx_close_asked), a restart says nothing, and a crash record no
helper showed is shown once at the next start. HOS_CRASH_WATCH=0 turns it off;
HOS_CRASH_TEST=start|<seconds> crashes on purpose for testing.
