description	Triggers on /fix-studio-content-folder only. Repoints HKCU Roblox Studio ContentFolder at a live Versions/version-<hash>/content/ folder when run-in-roblox panics with "system cannot find the file specified" after Roblox auto-prunes old install dirs.

/fix-studio-content-folder

Repoint Studio's ContentFolder registry key at a live Versions install so run-in-roblox stops panicking.

When to use

run-in-roblox (and any wrapper that uses it, e.g. project scripts/check.sh) panics with:

thread '<unnamed>' panicked at 'called Result::unwrap() on an Err value: The system cannot find the file specified. (os error 2)', src/main.rs:75:9
[ERROR run_in_roblox] receiving on a closed channel

Cause: HKCU:\Software\Roblox\RobloxStudio\ContentFolder points at a Versions\version-<hash>\content/ dir that Roblox auto-pruned on update. Studio only rewrites the key on a full launch, so the stale path lingers.

Windows-only. Writing HKCU needs no elevation.

Steps

1. List candidate version dirs:

   Get-ChildItem "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Roblox\Versions" -Directory
   

2. Filter to live Studio installs (must contain BOTH content\ and RobloxStudioBeta.exe). Sort by LastWriteTime descending. Pick the most recent.
3. Read current key (for the diff log):

   (Get-ItemProperty 'HKCU:\Software\Roblox\RobloxStudio' -Name ContentFolder).ContentFolder
   

4. Set key to <picked-dir>\content/ (note trailing forward slash):

   Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Roblox\RobloxStudio' -Name ContentFolder -Value '<picked>\content/'
   

5. Print before/after values and a "Studio does NOT need to restart" reminder. Tell the dev to re-run whatever invoked run-in-roblox (e.g. scripts/check.sh).

Edge cases

• No version dir has both content\ and RobloxStudioBeta.exe. Abort and tell the dev to launch Studio once from Roblox Player so it reinstalls a full version dir.
• Multiple candidates with very close timestamps. Still pick the newest, but list all candidates in the output so the dev can override if needed.
• Registry key missing entirely. Create it with New-ItemProperty -PropertyType String.
• Non-Windows platform. Abort with a clear "Windows only" message; the bug doesn't apply elsewhere.

Notes

• Don't restart Studio. The fix takes effect on the next run-in-roblox subprocess immediately.
• This is a registry fix, not a verifier. Don't auto-run scripts/check.sh after - leave that to the dev (the skill should stay project-agnostic).
• Related: memory reference_studio_play_solo_blocked covers the separate auto-F5 plugin gating issue; this skill only handles the run-in-roblox subprocess panic.
