Risk-4 investigation (before wiring WAVE 8) found my earlier 'keystone unblocks 4 things'
claim was wrong. Verified from the binary:
- 0xBD3 SubsystemMessageManager = a damage/explosion consolidation hub (ConsolidateAndSendDamage,
weaponExplosions), cached to Mech[0x10d]=0x434, mislabeled 'controlsMapper' in our recon (the
live drive squats there; the real mapper is roster slot 0 via SetMappingSubsystem).
- The valve MoveValve guard (FUN_004ac9c8 ->owner+0x190+0x274) AND the Myomers gate
(FUN_004ad7d4 ->owner+0x190+0x260) read a DIFFERENT object at mech+0x190 (!= 0x434). So 0xBD3
does NOT gate the valve/Myomers/MessageBoard; mech+0x190 (unidentified, no decompiled writer yet)
is the real keystone for those gauge-adjacent routes.
