What to build

A player can turn on an option that skips the startup logo videos and pre-level videos, so the game goes straight to the menu or into the level. It's exposed as a row in the game's Options menu (via the Lua patch layer, ADR 0008) and as an env var BLUR_SKIP_INTRO=1 that overrides it. The setting persists.

Acceptance criteria

Option on: startup goes straight to the main menu with no intro videos
Option on: starting an event skips any pre-level video and the level loads normally
Option off: videos play as before
BLUR_SKIP_INTRO overrides the menu setting; documented in the README env var table
Setting persists across launches
Verified on BLUR_ENGINE=recomp

Blocked by

None (can start immediately)

Implemented (610eb0f).

Option: Options > Graphics > Skip Intro Videos (persists in NSUserDefaults SkipIntro); BLUR_SKIP_INTRO=1/0 overrides; README env table updated.
Boot logos: recomp hook on 0xbc3210 (src/host/skip_intro.cpp, added to emit.py HOOKS; needs gen.sh).
Pre-level videos: patches/Screens/GUIBank.post.lua wraps Amax.CanPlayGameModeVideo; forced replays/credits unaffected.
Verified on recomp: on -> no logos, no career/pre-level videos, reaches race; off -> logos and videos play as before; row renders on Graphics page. Persistence uses same NSUserDefaults path as ShowFPS (not separately relaunch-tested). Full ctest not run (tests need unbuilt targets).
