Subject: [PATCH] fix(Engine): remove "Hide the Save button" game option
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Since it was added in 2017 it has hidden the entire #controlButtons
div (Debug + Save + panes-toggle hamburger), not just Save — the
hamburger button is the only way to show/hide sidebar panes on
narrow layouts, and Save is now the entry point to the multi-slot
save/load dialog, so enabling this option breaks more than it
advertises.
