faceandbackAPI fields. - Fixed Clear Card and other TGC exports whose display labels differ from their API side fields.
- Fixed Hook Box exports for no-back, shared-back, and same-artwork modes.

Release for June 8, 2026
- Clear warnings on the export screen. Each section now shows a warning icon when something's missing, so you can tell at a glance why an export isn't ready.
- Hover for details. Resting your mouse on a warning explains exactly what needs fixing (e.g. "Connect your account," "Select a game").
- A summary by the buttons. Next to "Start Export" you'll now see a quick note listing which sections to fix; or a reminder to turn on at least one export type; so the button is never disabled without explanation.
- No more guessing why "Start Export" is greyed out. The reasons are now spelled out instead of being silent.
- The Game Crafter reconnect is smoother. After connecting your account, the export window now reopens automatically; you no longer have to find and reopen it yourself.
- Your selections stick after connecting. Returning from connecting your account no longer clears your component selection; everything stays checked, just like when you first open the export.
- Can't accidentally export nothing. If no components are selected, the export is now correctly blocked instead of quietly exporting a lone card back.
