+## Boot Swiss (R button)
+
+**R** on the main menu boots `/boot.dol` from the SD card and leaves the test
+app, so you can get back to Swiss without power-cycling the console.
+
+It asks for confirmation (A to go, B to cancel). R is an easy trigger to catch
+by accident, test results are not saved anywhere, and losing a full run to a
+stray press is worse than one extra button. It is also main-menu only — inside
+a suite, R would be easy to hit while navigating.
+
+It uses the same `netboot_boot_file()` path as the post-update boot, so there
+is one DOL launcher and one set of safety checks rather than two.
