arcattackandClaude Opus 4.8 f4ad0f4340 docs: vehicleSubSystems DONE + render-verified
Mark the engineering-screen cluster-panel system complete in the spec + CLAUDE.md
§10.  Render-verified (BT_DEV_GAUGES_DOCK): 7 authentic panels build + draw --
SENSOR CLUSTER, MYOMERS, ER MED LASER RANGE 500M x3, PPC RANGE 500M x2 -- with bar
gauges, recharge dials, and lamps; 0 crashes, combat un-regressed.  Records that
the aux-screen blocker resolved cleanly via the PoweredSubsystem bridge (the fields
were already populated; no MechSubsystem core re-base was needed) and lists the
non-blocking follow-ups.

arcattackandClaude Opus 4.8 a5fa9f1c79 vehicleSubSystems: full reverse-engineering + reconstruction spec (blocked)
Reverse-engineered the vehicleSubSystems config primitive end to end (Ghidra
headless, all ~28 functions).  It is NOT a widget: it is the engineering-screen
(MFD) subsystem-panel system.  Its Make (FUN_004cbaf0) is a per-subsystem factory
that builds a SubsystemCluster-family status panel onto one of 12 auxiliary MFD
positions, dispatching on subsystem classID (HeatSink/Myomer/Energy/Ballistic
clusters).  The whole cluster family (base + 5 subclasses) + 4 btl4gau2 sub-gauges
(CoolingLoop/PowerSource/ScalarBarGauge/ConfigMapGauge) are declared in btl4gau2.hpp
but not reconstructed.

BLOCKER: the Make reads base subsystem fields subsystem[0x1dc] (aux-screen position),
[0x1e4]/[0x1e0]/[0x224] that our MechSubsystem reconstruction (ends 0x114) does not
have or populate -- so the panels render nothing until the core subsystem layout is
extended + populated from the resource parse, which touches the working combat/heat
subsystem code (regression risk).  Checkpointed at full spec pending go/no-go on the
large core-touching implementation.

- docs/VEHICLE_SUBSYSTEMS.md: complete reconstruction spec (dispatch table, geometry
  table, class family map, sub-gauge inventory, engine-primitive reuse, the blocker,
  the Phase-1/Phase-2 plan).
- reference/ghidra_scripts/DecompVSS.java: headless address-list decompiler (reusable
  for any function the assert-anchored exporter skipped).
- CLAUDE.md: record the finding in the gauge-widget notes.
