Chef gender no longer randomly switches female→male when pressing Play.
Fixed invisible food when taking a boiling output early (e.g. grabbing a poached egg before it finished).
Counter & cook menus reset to “1×” each time they open, instead of remembering the last-used quantity.
Fixed controller-settings device selection — corrected the device-cycling logic and a crash path when no keyboard/controller is connected.
Added a diagnostic reporter + watchdogs that forward useful playtest logs (tagged issues, exceptions, an F8 manual report) to a Discord webhook, with a runtime on/off toggle and log ring buffer. It can be manually triggered by pressing F8.
