Description

In a private anchor room, we began with a vanilla session and then swapped to a romhack in the same roomid. The romhack synced with the vanilla save despite us both using the romhack, and broke the hack entirely. If there is a smooth method for clearing a roomid's synced save data before swapping games, it should be clearly documented.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating Anchor's private-room save synchronization and the roomid save-data clearing flow. Verify whether a safe clearing method exists, then document the confirmed steps for clearing synced saves before swapping games and make the procedure easy to follow.
