On the matrix devices tab, with a deck that has a program module, the program running on the module doesn't show on the list of running programs below the deck. You need to go into the deck config to see it.

Not a show stopping bug, but thought I would add it to your list.
 
I'm afraid this is an issue we noticed ourselves, but there's a limitation in Hero Lab's capabilities that's getting in the way of solving this one.
 
It'd be easy to bootstrap the program - the problem is that to do it that way, we'd need to handle every existing common/hacking program individually, which is a hassle for updates and makes it harder for users to add their own programs.

The right solution is called shadowing - a mechanism in Hero Lab that allows something to pretend it also exists somewhere else. In this case, the program that's actually in the program carrier needs to shadow itself one level down, to the device the program carrier is installed in. Unfortunately, the programs are already set to shadow themselves all the way to the hero, so I can't add a second shadow option that instead shadows them only one level down - that's the limitation - hopefully it can be set up to allow one or the other, depending on the circumstances.
