Mode select and EOS

Online uses EOS as the PUID. Cold login is username / password on Screen A (optional 2-FA Screen B). Discord is an external credential on that PUID — not a second game account and not a Screen A button. After login, Command Deck → Social → Discord runs EOS_Connect_LinkAccount (EOS_ECT_DISCORD_ACCESS_TOKEN). Never CreateUser on that path. Stay signed in persists the EOS session on this device, never the Discord AccessToken. Default on. Log out of EOS on Online Character Select and Esc clears persist and Discord consent (shared-device / next player). Social Discord may Unlink for invite delivery only — Unlink is not an account switch. Lab only: 2-FA (Lab: Purpose to show UX) forces Screen B; real client detects 2-FA from EOS.

Daily / weekly / hard objectives are Online only and live in Missions & Objects / Operations on every Tab map plus the world — track them like other game objectives. Solo never lists them. Online also keeps one Last match row (activity name + outcome) above Operations on World Map and above Operations on Local Map Missions & Objects — frozen RAID / Vault / Ladder recap, not a Tasks filter. Empty: no row. FE30 is the primary lock (pip + tape + tracker). FE28 and FE29 are secondary options. Tap M / tap Tab pings name + meters for 4 s beside the pip, never on the reticle.
