Is an empty string the desired cmi.core.exit value if default of auto used? about adapt-contrib-spoor

SCORM 1.2 will use an empty string. SCORM 2004 will use "suspend" until "completed", then switch to "normal".

When using SCORM 1.2, it seems like the default for most LMSs is to restore the previous state regardless when using an empty string for cmi.core.exit. This isn't the case when using SCORM 2004, which requires the addition of "_exitStateIfComplete": "suspend" in config.json to prevent the runtime data from being reset once completed.

An LMS may have configuration to ignore the cmi.core.exit/cmi.exit values determined by the SCO, but I would suggest that as default we use "suspend" at all times so the runtime data is restored consistently regardless of which SCORM version is used.
