Running Beyond All Reason (BAR) Replays via CLI / Without Launcher (Headless Mode?)

[0xmazuki]

Hello!

I'm working on a project where I need to automate running BAR replays.
Specifically, I'd like to know:

Is there a supported way to start BAR directly via command line, bypassing the launcher?

Can I play a replay file (.sdf) directly by passing it as an argument to the engine?

Does BAR support any kind of headless mode for replay playback?

I've tried launching spring.exe with a replay file or using --replay, but have encountered issues with missing archives (maps/mods) or improper bootstrapping without the launcher.

Thank you so much for your amazing work! BAR is incredible!
