// (glass lamp responsiveness, 2026-08) Sweep the cockpit lamp STATE every frame.
//
// The lamp sweep -- LampManager::Update -> AssertNewLampValue -> RIO/PadRIO::SetLamp,
// which is what lights the cockpit buttons -- authentically rides the gauge
// renderer's FOREGROUND turn (GaugeRenderer::ExecuteForeground, gaugrend.cpp), and
// that turn fires only ONCE PER FULL GAUGE CYCLE (foreground -> background -> copy).
// The cycle only advances to the next foreground turn after the THROTTLED background
// gauge sweep drains the whole active-instrument list -- and that background task
// starves under load (issue #45: "every cockpit instrument freezes at its last paint
// while the underlying values AND fps stay perfectly healthy"). So on a busy MP
// mission the lamp sweep ran ~1x/second: the lit buttons froze / flashes stalled while
// the 3D view (a separate per-frame foreground render) stayed smooth -- exactly the
// "lighting slow or nonexistent" playtest reports (all on glass desktops).
//
// The lamp sweep is CHEAP -- deduped state pushes over ~72 lamps, no raster -- so on
// the dev/glass composite path we run it EVERY frame here, decoupled from the gauge
// cycle, and the buttons track the sim regardless of background-sweep slack. The pod
// NEVER enters BTDrawGaugeInset (it drives real gauge hardware), so its authentic
// bandwidth-paced serial lamp cadence is untouched. BT_GLASS_LAMP_SWEEP=0 restores the
// authentic once-per-cycle behaviour.
