What changed

App/Views/HomeView.axaml, default version (left): the "💾 3 saves, last today 17:57 · Saves" line is now a card-sized button: a green disk icon, Manage saves, the saves summary under it, and a chevron. The whole card opens Saves, and its tooltip says what Saves does (copy between versions, import, export).
App/Views/HomeView.axaml, each version (right): the icon-only disk button is now a small labelled Saves button (icon + text), styled like Play this version and Set as default. Open folder and Delete stay as icons.
App/Controls/Controls.cs: a chevronRight icon for the card.

No view model changes: both buttons use the same commands as before (SavesDefaultCommand, SavesCommand).

Screenshots

Drawn headless (Avalonia.Headless + Skia) from the real MainWindow, with two versions on the Windows layout (each version has its own saves), the second one selected.

Testing

python -I tests/test_launcher_core.py --longshot <Longshot checkout>: 632 checks passed. python -I tests/test_release.py: OK (28 tests).
The screenshots above come from a quick Debug build of the app in a headless harness. Not done: a full Release build, and clicking through it in the real window (both buttons only rebind the existing commands).

Players don't find Saves on the home page: under the default version it's a small text link at the end of a grey line, and on each version it's an unlabelled disk icon next to Open folder and Delete. Copying, importing and exporting saves is one of the launcher's main features, so it should be easy to spot. ## What changed - **`App/Views/HomeView.axaml`, default version (left):** the "💾 3 saves, last today 17:57 · Saves" line is now a card-sized button: a green disk icon, **Manage saves**, the saves summary under it, and a chevron.
