When Samus enters a door transition from the wrong direction, we reflect her around to be inbounds. This is the correct behavior when a door portal is set up between two doors facing the same direction, but it leads to confusion when working on maprando strats, since a situation that places Samus OOB in the randomizer might place her inbounds in the practice hack.

We should add either a heuristic or a menu option so that users can test with the map rando behavior.

Yeah it is working "as designed". I was hoping some randomizer would pick up that behavior since it allows for gravity jump escapes in a traditional boss randomizer, but currently no randomizer does the Samus reflection.

It should probably just not do that if left/right portals are in use and only do it for area/boss portals.
