Hi! I think I've found an issue with the Mod Loader when it builds the final HTML.

It appears that the main/base-game script is duplicated in the generated build.

The first copy behaves as expected: the Mod Loader injects the JavaScript from the loaded mods into it. However, the second copy of the original base-game script remains in the HTML and is executed afterwards.

This has two consequences:

1. The generated HTML is unnecessarily larger (roughly an extra 6 MB in my current build).

2. More importantly, if a mod overrides or modifies something defined in the base-game JavaScript, the second untouched copy of the base-game script can effectively overwrite/undo that modification when it is executed.

I confirmed this by manually removing the second duplicate script from the generated HTML. The resulting build runs without the error I was investigating, whereas the unmodified generated build does not.

So, as far as I can tell, the expected build structure should contain only the script into which the Mod Loader has injected the mod scripts, without another untouched copy of the base-game script afterwards.

Could you please take a look at this when you have a chance? If useful, I can also provide the relevant fragments of the generated HTML showing both copies.
