Last updated
Riot Client documents itself through launch arguments and uninstall surveys. Configs with lockfiles, private settings and per-game metadata branch under LocalAppData. Logs fan out by agent and launcher roles.
ProgramData roots map installs per game with anti-cheat beside. Roaming leftovers surface in uninstall data with medium confidence. Mac trees stay unquoted for lack of sources.
