#118: the ENG-PAGE EJECT KEY ejects -- page-gated intent completion

Browse Source 
The decode that settles it: the eng-page side-key functions align key-for-
key with the engEject lamp map (selectGenA-D = 0xF-0xC, EJECT = 0x0B,
GEN-MODE = 0xA, COOLING = 0x9, BACK = 0x8; banks 2/3 at 0x27-/0x7-), and
the streamed weapon pages route the same key to EjectAmmo -- so 0x0B/0x23/
0x03 ARE the authored EJECT position. On generator pages the shipped
stream leaves the key with NO live route (msg 9, no handler anywhere):
eject was UNFINISHED in 4.10 (the evaluator was dead code -- the arcade
never armed panic at all). Intent-completion [T3, marked]: while PANIC is
armed AND that bank displays an ENGINEERING page (kBTEngModeMask bits --
the same gating the alarm lamps use), the flashing EJECT key fires the
pilot-keypad eject. Any other page: authored function untouched (the two
field regressions came from skipping the page gate).

Verified: armed + QUAD page + 0x0B press -> no eject (gate holds); panic /
numpad / Backspace unchanged.
