Changes: none. The official ROM bytes are unchanged; only the served filename
is normalized to the catalog slug. This is not a local rebuild.

Release revision: unversioned 2015 pause-mode fix. The official ZIP's
lan_master/notes.txt credits rainwarrior with reporting and fixing the pause
mode graphics bug in 2015 and says the game and source code were updated.
The manifest's "2015-update-unversioned" label describes this update; it is
not an upstream version tag. No Git commit or tagged source provenance is
claimed. The downloaded archive bytes are pinned by SHA-256.
