- Move add_category_when_multi_category after dedup'ing so consolidated category values don't count.

This was a legitimate problem. I've moved add_category_when_multi_category after dedup'ing now.

Functioning as intended. add_category_when_multi_category is applied after replace/include/exclude, so naturally you can't use exclude on category to filter out what was added.

You now, after all of this, want to remove Crossover from some combinations of multiple categories? Whatever.

You might experiment with a) operating on category_LIST to replace those specific multiple category combos with one string; or b) creating a new metadata entry that includes category--probably more than one with .NOREPL versions to separate far enough to not be recursive--and use that instead of category.

Regardless, it's a bridge too far for me; I'm done helping with that.

No. I add debug output when I want it and 99.9% of the time it's so overfull from all the recursive metadata processing that even I can't follow it.

Functioning as intended. A category affecting line can't have a conditional that uses category or any other value derived from category (excepting category.NOREPL) because it would cause an infinite recursion and error out the entire download.
