01 / Format context
Confirm the container and the profile.
SaveEditor separates wrapper recognition from semantic compatibility. Before processing a file, confirm the game or emulator, platform, version, expected size, and integrity rules described by the Tool itself.
Choose only a Tool whose support notes name the same format/profile.
File-size, encryption, signing, account, and browser-local limits still apply.
