It doesn't say in the rules, so I just wanted to confirm - Are you allowed to bring any item you want into the levels? And/or for Claire levels, do times count with or without having gotten the ingredient first?

I realized with my most recent run (after talking about it in the Colorgrave discord) that the description of "when the final cutscene begins to play after Astral Temple 5" might need to be a bit refined. I was doing the final time in the middle of the fade-to-white, but have been told it should be when the first text box appears. Would it make sense to just add that clarification "when first text box of the final cutscene after Astral Temple 5 appears" or am I just being too precise with this?

Sorry for asking these super basic questions, but taking a look at the uploaded speedruns has me confused on a few things. Now, these issues might be because the game was just updated yesterday but please let me know if I'm missing something.

1 - How are people skipping through text so fast? I thought it was with the "start" button, but that doesn't seem to skip the initial Maggie text, nor the initial scene with Clyde for me. (I haven't tested it on later parts but I'm assuming it still won't work for me there either)

2 - How do you get to the "Exit Area" button instantly? (Like what DruidVorse does to exist Belle's house in their Any% No Cactus run). Each time I go to the menu it always starts me at the top and there is no "press up to wrap around" and the menu seems delayed slightly, so it takes a good while to navigate down to the "Exit Area" button.

Again, for both of these I'm assuming I'm missing something COMPLETELY obvious, or that something changed with yesterday's update. But please, let me know.
