KB: state-7 (heat-failed) weapons go dark with no lamp -- authentic (#30 remainder closed)

Browse Source 
Field capture 2026-07-23: right SRM6 tripped FailureHeat and went dark
with no indication -- reported as a suspected bug.  Decomp @004c9a38:
the gauge cluster's only weapon-state read is ==5 (jam lamp); state 7
has no presentation anywhere.  EJECT tap revives it while rounds
remain.  (Same session: first live verification of the #31 eject
wiring -- jammed left SRM6 cleared by a tap.)

**A heat-FAILED weapon goes DARK with no lamp — authentic (2026-07-23, closes the #30
remainder) [T1 + T2 field-captured]:** `BallisticWeaponCluster::Execute` @004c9a38 reads exactly
one weapon-state check — `jammed = (weaponAlarm@0x364 == 5)` for the BTEJAM lamp; its only other
reads are the bin's cook-off lamp/countdown (`bin+0x18C`/`+0x190`). Weapon state 7
(unavailable: FailureHeat / destroyed / mech-disabled / bay dry) has NO presentation — dial at
zero, everything dark. Field capture: a solo pilot's right SRM6 tripped FailureHeat
(`gate1: failHeat=1 heatLvl=2`) and "just stopped working, no indication" — reported as a bug;
it's the binary's behavior. Recovery: an EJECT tap revives a FailureHeat 7 while rounds remain
([[decomp-reference]] §message-tables EjectAmmo). The jam lamp lights ONLY for a true jam (5).
**CORRECTION (task #10, 2026-07-11):** the old "Heat MFD is authentically NEAR-STATIC /
currentTemperature ~77 rounds to zero" claim was computed at the DEGENERATE bring-up heat scale.
At the authentic 1e7-unit economy (tasks #9-#10) the Heat MFD is fully dynamic: weapons run
