I installed MacOS 10.14.2 (Mojave) onto VirtualBox and was able to hammer out the final file handling issues in Radioactive. Confirmed working checksum, tracking, and pure-python packages. (The latter required no changes.) If you still have issues after this, it is probably either an installation or computer configuration issue.
So the poll went significantly different from what I expected. I thought "Yes" would win in a landslide, but it narrowly beat out "No" 212-204 (and had fallen behind much of the time). Given the much more mixed response than I expected, I will be implementing opt-in. I am not sure when exactly, but it will definitely be after all the scenes have hints.
The first solution will be to operate on what has been seen before. RenPy automatically tracks every line, image, and label that has ever been seen by the user, and I already have working code for that. The reason it hasn't been widely implemented is because it will require a Hint-style data update which will require a significant amount of time and research. Had "Yes" performed as I expected, Radioactive's amount of code would have shrunk dramatically, as I wouldn't have to manually track each scene as it is played. Eventually, I will also implement a permanent memory file for Radioactive, so that major overhauls won't invalidate "previously seen" information.
