The launcher prepares a version in-process when it ships the preparer sources
the launcher was built with, with the version's own horizon-prepare when they
differ, and with the Python script only for versions made before it. Release
folders ship horizon-prepare and its sources; resources are reused between
versions with the same preparer. The game's messages, PLAY.txt, the docs and
release builds name horizon-prepare, and tools/prepare_native_client.py is a
wrapper of it for the development tools.

tools/rea_vanilla.py runs REA's JADX provider over the pinned client and
server JARs: class search, class members, method bodies and callers
(including lambdas). REA and the JADX engine are pinned in
research-lock.json.
