Magic Lantern's Lua loader only picks up scripts whose base filename fits in the 8.3 convention (up to 8 characters before the extension). With the previous 13-character name, the script silently fails to appear in the Scripts menu on affected ML builds/bodies, while other shorter-named .lua scripts on the same card show up normally.

Renaming to eclipse.lua makes the script discoverable out of the box, with no user-side rename step required.
