Update 2.181

6/25/2026

updatearenaJARVIS-ARENA

Arena+ MusicHook: fix battle music not stopping on flee. PATCH. Lane Jarvis-ARENA. Added `ConsumeArenaBattleMusicPending()` in all 3 shims (PlayTrack, SwitchCrossfade, PlayTrackWithPreload) that apply the music swap. Root cause: `g_arenaBattleMusicPending` was never consumed after applying the override, so on flee the hook would swap the field BGM back to boss theme. DLL built + deployed.
