Reset purchase
If I buy a joker in the shop then return to the main menu the joker becomes unpurchased. Is this intentional?

Do you lose money? From my limited time in this game, it seems the game saves after every blind. If you quit in the shop, it resets to whatever state your deck was in before you entered the shop that time.

You bought the joker and ended the run that's why. Pretty sure you have to finish a run to show it as being purchased.

Ending a run should consider it again the same!

Returning to the main menu does not end the run. It's still in progress and you can continue playing it. If you actually meant to abort the run you should actually do that, either by suiciding or holding R to restart.

You get your money back. Seing as there's no way to undo a purchase otherwise. Exiting to the menu and loading your run again could be a useful way to undo misclicks or instant regret decisions in the shop.

The fact that that there doesn't seem to be a dedicated reset button makes me think this is unintentional.

I've only tested it in the first shop at this stage.

The game only saves at certain points, thus when you quit to main menu and choose to Continue, it'll load your most recent checkpoint. These includes:
-Rerolling the shop
-Opening a Booster Pack
-Click Next Blind / Start a Blind
-Successfully play a hand / discard

This can be exploited and/or undo minor mistakes. For example, if you accidentally sell a Joker, quit and reload will undo that action and return your Joker / money. If you pop WoF in a Booster Pack and it Nope!, quit and reload BEFORE the Booster Pack fully disappears, will allow you to pick something else, etc...

It seems to fall into the realm of exploit.

It kind of is in some cases, many of which Ronald listed, but there's no reason to fix it. If people want to cheat at the game they will, and it's not like it's a competitive game. If someone has more fun seeing the future at the cost of having to sit through some animations repeatedly, let them.
