Why not after the if (!loader.Load(reinterpret_cast<uint8_t*>(content.data()))) call?

Slightly subtle. The goal is for the custom loader to load SkyrimSE.exe with spoofing enabled so any DLLs, in particular any preload DLLs like SSE EngineFixes.dll, experience what looks like SkyrimSE.exe is loading rather than experiencing SkyrimTogether.exe as loaded.
In particular, attempts to evaluate the directory of the running executable have to return the GamePath, not the SkyrimTogether.exe path.
So the switch must be thrown before loading the executable.
It was depending on figuring out where it was called from, but the logic was unreliable and there is no apparent way to fix it. Now, it switches spoofing on just before loading SkyrimSE.exe (so the loaded DLLs see the path they expect). Requires a companion fix in TIltedCore:TiltedPhoques::GetPath() to persist the value found originally, so it doesn't change out from under with late callers. If you code has only late callers, just add a call before loading your game binary.
This meant also removing and extraneous TiltedCore pin in Code\Client\xmake.lua so it would inherit properly. Fixing the several submodules will need to be their own PRs.

Update: TiltedCore v0.2.8 release has now been cut, so updated with that version.
PR, although complete barring more comments, will remain draft until prerequisites met:
It was depending on figuring out where it was called from, but the logic was unreliable and there is no apparent way to fix it. Multiple attempts using more sophisticated FOSS stack crawlers all failed.
