Research direction

Start by reproducing issue #8021 in Vestige on Steam OS with an invalid file; the issue names no source file, test, logs, or specific invalid-file example. Trace the resulting crash and identify the relevant Vestige entry point. Done means LMMS remains running when Vestige receives a wrong file, with a regression check for that case.
