The fix wasn't perfect. Occasionally a stream would stutter, a few seconds of gray before resuming; sometimes a program's metadata would mismatch and images would flick by with the wrong titles. But the Loader learned as it worked. It recorded the errors and, in the background, sent brief, anonymized error reports to its small, open-source hub. In return it received community patches—handcrafted regexes, mirror lists, and heuristics—that arrived in quiet updates. Each time the Loader incorporated them, the broken edges smoothed out.
