Mode Guide & Usage\
Preload Modes\
These modes involve starting the purchase process before a checkpoint (queue) appears, which can speed up checkout if executed correctly.

preload\
What it does: Begins the checkout process early while monitoring the checkpoint at the same time.\
When to use: If the queue is passable or if you expect the site to go into queue soon.\
Combining with other modes:\
preloadwait → Only preloads, but waits for the checkpoint to open.\
preloadstuck → Used when the queue seems unusually long or glitched.\
preloadstuckwait → A mix of preloadstuck and wait, good if the queue is acting strange.

***

Wait Modes\
These modes only monitor the checkpoint page and do not start the purchase process immediately.

wait\
What it does: Monitors the checkpoint page and waits for it to go live.\
When to use: If you expect a queue and want to time purchases properly.\
Combining with other modes:\
preloadwait → Preloads, but also waits for checkpoint.\
preloadstuckwait → Same as above, but handles odd queue behavior.

***

Lite Modes\
These modes do not monitor the checkpoint. Instead, they rely on other tasks detecting the queue.

lite\
What it does: Saves data by skipping checkpoint monitoring.\
When to use: If you have multiple tasks running, and at least one non-lite task is monitoring the checkpoint.\
Combining with other modes:\
preloadwaitlite → Preloads, waits for checkpoint but doesn’t monitor.\
preloadwaitlitestuck → Adds stuck handling on top of the above.

***

Stuck Mode\
Used for unusual queue behavior.

stuck\
What it does: Aims to bypass a buggy or oddly long queue.\
When to use: If the queue is not progressing properly.\
Combining with other modes:\
preloadstuck → Tries to preload while handling stuck queues.\
preloadstuckwait → Mixes stuck + wait for extra caution.

***

Direct Mode\
This mode skips preloading and goes straight to checkout.

direct\
What it does: Purchases the item without preloading.\
When to use: If the queue in the bot is way longer than in a browser.\
Combining with other modes:\
Do NOT combine with preload modes (defeats the purpose).\
Best used as a backup if preloading is glitching.

Best Practices & Combinations

| Scenario                              | Best Mode                        |
| ------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Normal drop, no queue issues          | preloadwait                      |
| Queue is stuck/unusual                | preloadstuck or preloadstuckwait |
| Site glitches during queue            | direct                           |
| Running many tasks? Save data         | lite variants                    |
| Conservative strategy (no preloading) | wait                             |

Example Task Setups\
Safe & Efficient Setup:\
preloadwait (Primary)\
preloadwaitlite (Backup, no extra data use)

If Queue is Glitched:\
preloadstuck\
preloadstuckwait

If Stuck in Queue Longer than Browser:\
Switch to direct
