arcattackandClaude Opus 4.8 4aab10ba89 Issue #19: wire ToggleSeekVoltage (Myomers id 9 + energy weapons id 0xb) 
Root cause -- NOT issue #2 (the experience mis-seed pins everyone to VETERAN,
which PASSES the novice lockout; the gates were never the blocker).  Two
unwired handlers, the same silent-swallow pattern ToggleCooling had
(Receiver::Receive -> NullHandler for an unregistered id):

- Myomers (handler table @0x51158C {9,"ToggleSeekVoltage"@004b8a48}): the
  reconstruction had an EMPTY stub (the address falls in the untagged decomp
  gap 0x4b8837..0x4b8a8c) and never registered the id.  Body reconstructed
  faithfully from the raw disassembly (tools/disas2.py 0x4b8a48): novice
  lockout (@4ac9c8) -> heat-model gate (@4ad7d4) -> press-only (msg+0xc>0) ->
  currentSeekVoltageIndex@0x320 = (idx+1) % (maxSeekVoltageIndex@0x32C + 1).
  Modulo from zero, min index not consulted, no ResetFiringState.

- Emitter (energy-weapon table @0x511DB8 {0xb,"ToggleSeekVoltage"@004ba478}):
  the faithful body already existed as the orphaned "AdvanceSeekVoltage"
  (ZERO callers) -- converted to the registered message handler (same guards;
  cycle + ResetFiringState when not wrapping, disasm re-verified).  PPC and
  GaussRifle copy-inherit the set; the ammo branch keeps its own id 0xb ==
  EjectAmmo (still unwired, tracked separately).

Both registered via MESSAGE_ENTRY on top of the inherited chains.  Permanent
diagnostics: [seek] gear log (BT_SEEK_LOG) + BT_SEEKTEST scripted dispatch
harness (mech4.cpp, the cooltoggle pattern).

VERIFIED headless: [seek] Myomers -> 3,0,1,2,3... and [seek] PPC_1 ->
3,0,1,2,3... (modulo-4 wrap, matching the binary's arithmetic).  Awaiting
the tester's live ADV-mode confirmation for the real MFD button route (the
routing layer is the same streamed-EventMapping path ToggleCooling verified).

KB: decomp-reference.md message-table rows marked wired.

arcattackandClaude Fable 5 d7158f1f82 Experience levels WIRED: the egg field drives the simulation tier (Gitea #2) 
BTPlayer's master ctor now seeds the flag block from
btMission->ExperienceLevel() + AdvancedDamageOn() (accessors from the
SURVIVED 1995 BTMSSN.HPP [T0]) instead of the NULL-stubbed scenario
role -- the egg experience knob works for the first time.  Both switch
slot errors fixed vs the binary @4c0bc8; phantom btMission duplicate
member removed (+0x1f8 IS Player::playerMission).

SEVEN gate stubs unified onto the real flags (two found empirically):
HeatModelActive, OwnerAdvancedDamage, LiveFireEnabled,
ControlsAllowLights, powersub @4b0efc, emitter's file-local FUN_004ad7d4
+ FUN_004ac9c8 stubs.  FUN_004ac9c8 family swept (incl. a live raw-offset
databinding trap in MechSubsystem::IsDamaged).  Flag block renamed to its
true semantics (simLive/heatModelOn/...), scoring-era names kept as
comments.  Includes the #5 [aud-tail] diag in emitter.cpp.

ALL 19 shipped eggs say experience=expert -> default behavior UNCHANGED
(per-tier verified: novice/standard = no heat/jams, authentic; veteran/
expert = today's exact behavior).  Real delta: egg advancedDamage=1 now
reaches player+0x264/0x268 (was hardwired 0).  Follow-up flagged: the
glass FE defaults empty experience to veteran (one tier below shipped).

Awaiting human verification.

arcattackandClaude Fable 5 63b168cb92 SeekVoltageGraph: full reconstruction -- the eng-page POWER graph + top-box eraser (Gitea #11) 
The #10 audit's one WRONG: the port Execute was a bring-up no-op, so the
emitter/myomer engineering pages never erased their top data box -> stale
sibling-page ghosts on the shared Eng bit-plane (SYSTEM 10 PPC showing the
Streak ammo box, etc).  Full faithful widget landed:

- btl4gau2: ctor/BecameActive/Execute/clear/ticks/cursor recovered from the
  capstone disasm of @004c6798/@004c6920/@004c6934/@004c6be4/@004c6c30/
  @004c6c6c (Ghidra dropped every x87 arg).  Plot: v=0..12000 step 1200,
  x=Round(response(v)*230), y=Round(v*(1/12000)*187) (ld80 @004c6bd0/@004c6d74
  = exactly 1/12000); change-test samples the response at 12000V vs the 9999
  activation sentinel; XOR op for tick/cursor move-by-redraw; destroyed branch
  centres edestryd.pcc and revives via own vtbl+0xC (BecameActive, slot 3 of
  PTR_0051a1fc -- vtable-dump verified).
- The vtbl+0x3C sampler identified from the binary vtables: Emitter slot 15
  @004bb42c = sqrt(P(v)/2.0e8), P @004bb3f4 = damageFraction*v^2*0.5*
  energyCoefficient; Myomers slot 15 @004b8f94 = sqrt(AvailableOutput(v)*3.6/
  350).  FUN_004dd138 == sqrt (part_015.c:4026): myomers' fabs reading
  corrected, GetSpeedReading renamed SeekVoltageResponse.  Port dispatch via
  complete-type bridges BTSeekVoltageSample/BTMyomersSeekSample +
  BTSubsystemDestroyed (databinding rule).
- Emitter's AUTHENTIC attribute table recovered (binary @0x511dd4, ids
  0x1D-0x25) and published: Laser*/Seek*/OutputVoltage@0x414 (currentLevel,
  RAW volts -- the live-cursor feed).  Field renames per the table:
  0x3F8 minSeekVoltageIndex / 0x3FC maxSeekVoltageIndex (static_assert-locked).
  The MechWeapon 0x1D OutputVoltage PORT ALIAS retired (binary table ends
  0x1C; Find walks lowest-id-first, the alias shadowed the authentic row).
  PPC::DefaultData -> Emitter::GetAttributeIndex().
- mech4: BT_PRESET_HOLD=<n> (freeze the #9 preset cycler after n pulses) for
  steady-state pixel verification; BT_SEEK_LOG diag.

Verified live (BLH, autofire): both #10 repro pairs held ghost-free for
minutes (SYS09->SYS10 PPC, SYS02->SYS04 ERMed, SYS05->SYS06 Myomers); curves
draw with live cursors; one replot per activation; quad panels/J-K-L/sec
panel un-regressed.

arcattackandClaude Opus 4.8 fc7f311771 Audio Phase 1 (AUDIO_FIDELITY F3/F4/F10/F15/F18/F20 + KB): the quick wins 
F3 distance: alDistanceModel(AL_NONE); restored the commented authored
  distance multiply in Dynamic3D::CalculateSourceVolumeScale, added the same
  override to Static3D, dropped the (now inert) AL_MAX_DISTANCE writes.  Far
  battle audio follows the authored knee/rolloff curve again, and the volume
  cull / voice steal / ducking chains are distance-aware.
F4 volume law: AL_GAIN = volume_scale^2 at all 3 per-frame sites (Direct/
  Dyn3D/Static3D) -- the GM CC7 squared curve; linear was ~+6 dB at mids.
F10 doppler: alDopplerFactor(0) (AL's model ran wrong constants + sign-
  inverted velocity: approaching sources pitched DOWN); the AUTHORED
  dopplerCents (AUDIO.INI range/speed-of-sound model, decomp-proven consumer
  part_008.c:7466) now adds into the Dynamic3D pitch chain.
F15 ConfigureActivePress: published at the MechSubsystem BASE (binary id 2,
  descriptor @0x50de5c -> +0x110); renamed the misnamed vitalSubsystemIndex
  member (the weapon ConfigureMappables handler already drives it 0/-1).
  Removed the invented Sensor/Myomers duplicates and RESTORED their byte-
  exact layouts (0x328/0x358 allocs + asserts).  MechWeapon's pinned-id pad
  absorbed the +1 chain shift -- which matches the binary's own numbering.
F18 cook-off warning: AmmoBin FireCountdownStarted -> the existing
  cookOffArmed @0x18C (binary table @0x512600); the countdown klaxon can fire.
F20 zoom blip: L4MechControlsMapper publishes TargetRangeExponent -> the live
  @0x1a4 zoom member (own table chained to MechControlsMapper).
KB: replaced the bogus divisionParameters+0x10 rate read with
  SystemClock::GetTicksPerSecond() (FUN_0044e19c is GetFrameRate -- original
  audio frames were CLOCK TICKS).

Regression (35s drive+fire): stable; ConfigureActivePress binds real on all 9
subsystems (idle -1, zero pad redirects); FireCountdownStarted +
TargetRangeExponent bind live members; attrnull 53 -> 41; chirp still dead;
footfalls still fire (gain now correctly squared).

arcattackandClaude Opus 4.8 be626c71ce Audio: KILL THE CHIRP -- ConfigureActivePress backed real (idle -1) on Sensor+Myomers (task #50) 
The obnoxious always-on clicking was the cockpit CONFIGURE-MODE ticker: an
authored looped sequence gated by an AudioIntegerTrigger with threshold -1 on
<subsystem>.ConfigureActivePress (the held-configure-button index; -1 = none).
The attribute was one of the inert-pad redirects -- the pad reads 0 = "button 0
held forever" -> the ticker Start-fired at load and pulsed 2.7/s eternally.
Found via [sendcfg]/[seqstart] traces: the first seq start immediately follows
the trigcfg(thresh=-1, onID=Start) construction on the pad address.

Fix: real int configureActivePress = -1 APPENDED to Sensor ("Avionics") and
Myomers, registered in their attribute tables.  Both classes are byte-exact
factory allocs, so the sizeof locks AND the placement-new alloc constants are
bumped TOGETHER (Sensor 0x328->0x32C, Myomers 0x358->0x35C) -- the tripwire
caught a mid-layout insert (seekVoltage@0x330 shift) and a fixed-alloc overrun
before they shipped; member moved to the true tail.  Wiring the live value
(EnterConfiguration/ExitConfiguration sets/clears the index) restores the
authored hold-to-configure tick later; idle -1 is the correct silent state.

VERIFIED: ProgramButton01 plays ZERO times (was the 2.7/s chirp);
ConfigureActivePress binds real (vtbl=FFFFFFFF = the -1); FootFallInt at 0.98
gain; stable.

arcattackandClaude Fable 5 dd27238ceb Gauges: the CLOSEOUT wave -- radar pips, Myomers dedup, attribute parity, ledger sweep (tasks #14-#17) 
TASK #17 -- AUTHENTIC RADAR SYMBOLOGY (the cross-blip stand-in retired).
The recon proved the 'missing pip raster set' never existed as BT game code:
pips are the ENGINE's L4GaugeImage vector-stroke system (T0 source in tree,
L4GAUIMA.cpp == FUN_0046f0c0 line-for-line), the 'pip table' is L4Warehouse::
gaugeImageBin keyed by Entity::resourceID, and BTL4.RES ships 110 type-0x12
shapes (every mech/vehicle/building/tree).  The six btl4rdr stubs are wired
to the real facilities: contacts draw their authentic model silhouettes with
LOD selection, the target gets the binary's 4px-inflated box highlight, and
player-name labels resolve via Mission::GetSmallNameBitmap (the prebuilt
64x16 egg rasters keyed by the player's bitmapindex).  DECODED: the invented
'VideoObject' was Entity::owningPlayer all along (+0x190; nameID =
playerBitmapIndex@0x1E0, target = BTPlayer::objectiveMech@0x284 -- new
bridge BTPlayerObjectiveMechOf); the 'LabelledEntity' class is Landmark
(cultural.h; label path dormant -- no landmark content ships, no runtime
landmarkID writer).  The L4GREND BT_DEV_GAUGES warehouse guard is removed
(its AV had a different culprit, below); resource type 18 corrected to
GaugeImageStream in decomp-reference (was mislabeled 'ModelList').

TASK #14 -- the Myomers ODR duplicate ELIMINATED: the powersub.cpp/hpp
'Myomers' (classID 0xBC3 -- actually Sensor) is retired whole; it duplicated
?DefaultData@Myomers@@ against the real class (dumpbin-verified) and /FORCE
picked the winner by link order.  The real Myomers (0xBC6) now chains
PoweredSubsystem's handler set (ids 4-8) and publishes its SEVEN binary
attributes (@00511588: SpeedEffect/Current/Recommended/Min/MaxSeekVoltage-
Index/SeekVoltage/OutputVoltage) -- the old empty unchained index starved
the Myomer engineering panel of every resolve.

TASK #16 -- attribute parity: MechWeapon publishes the FULL binary table
@0x511890 (11 entries; ids renumbered to binary truth -- the port aliases
had squatted the binary's DistanceToTarget/TargetWithinRange ids; the
streamed TriggerState 0x13 binding unchanged).  Binary names resolved two
TODO members: pipState -> estimatedReadyTime (attr 0x1A), and the EXT-model
flag is the binary's RearFiring (0x1B).  ThermalSight LightState published.
HUD (offset conflicts) + missile-side tables (id encoding suspect)
documented for a re-dump instead of publishing blind.
  THE CRASH THIS EXPOSED [T2, cdb-verified]: gotcha #11's dense-table gap
is a LATENT AV, not a guaranteed one -- the old table's 0x0D..0x12 gap
(task #5) survived on heap luck; the renumber reshuffled allocations and
Find() AV'd on a garbage entryName in WeaponCluster's PercentDone resolve.
Fixed with five named PAD entries (the mech.cpp attrPad idiom) + a
static_assert locking the pad base to PoweredSubsystem::NextAttributeID.
Gotcha #11 amended with the proof.

TASK #15 -- stale-ledger sweep: GAUGE_COMPOSITE ('composite not yet built',
Reservoir shadow, PlayerStatus/vehicleSubSystems 'remaining', valve-dormant-
until-0xBD3, sensor guard, the superseded 'Heat MFD near-static' reframe --
all banner-corrected), gauges-hud frontmatter, L4VB16 + powersub comments.

Verified live: 50/50 config attribute bindings resolve, 0 NULLs, 0 parse
skips, mech spawns and simulates 31/31 subsystems, no cross-blip fallbacks,
the pip cache fills through entity registration without the old guard.

arcattackandClaude Opus 4.8 1356870e56 P7: byte-exact re-base of the CORE heat leaf (HeatSink/Condenser/Reservoir/Generator/Myomers) 
The reconstruction modeled the binary's shared alarm/connection types with undersized
stand-ins, sliding every field above them low (the 72-byte auxScreenNumber gap). Fix the
foundational heat-leaf classes byte-exact + static_assert-lock them, from the ctor decomp:

Shared types corrected:
  * SubsystemConnection 4 -> 0xC  (binary link node FUN_004af9cf; FUN_00417ab4 derefs +8)
  * GaugeAlarm54 = 0x54           (real AlarmIndicator FUN_0041b9ec; STATUS level at +0x14,
                                   so subsystem+0x184 == heatAlarm+0x14 == GetLevel())
    WatcherGaugeAlarm now typedefs GaugeAlarm54 (Watcher branch locks stay valid).

Byte-exact + locked (ctor-verified):
  * HeatSink   heatEnergy@0x158 linkedSinks@0x164 heatAlarm@0x170 resource@0x1C4
               pendingHeat@0x1C8, sizeof 0x1D0  (@004adda0)
  * Condenser  valveState@0x1D0 condenserAlarm@0x1DC  (@004ae568)
  * Reservoir  reservoirAlarm@0x1D0 ... squirtEfficiency@0x22C, sizeof 0x230  (@4aef78)
  * Generator  stateAlarm@0x1FC, sizeof 0x250  (@004b225c)
  * Myomers    phantom moverConnection tail removed (fits 0x358)

Three systemic bug classes fixed (added to the checklist in CLAUDE.md / HARD_PROBLEMS.md):
  * alias field    - a subclass member re-declaring an inherited slot the ctor reuses
                     (Condenser refrigerationOutput==massScale@0x160; Reservoir
                     coolantCapacity==thermalCapacity@0x128) -> use the inherited name
  * alarm-interior - a value read at alarm+0x14 modeled as a separate member
                     (HeatSink heatState@0x184, Reservoir injectActive@0x1e4)
                     -> route to alarm.GetLevel()
  * phantom field  - a member past the object end (Generator shortFlag@0x25C is really
                     *(owner+0x190)+0x25c the msg-manager, @004b0efc; Myomers
                     moverConnection@0x110 a write-only base slot) -> remove it

Heat conduction now reads the REAL heatEnergy=1.34e7 (not garbage); combat DESTROYED-in-8,
0 crashes, heapcheck-clean through construction.

REMAINING (measured; a distinct larger task): making PoweredSubsystem byte-exact grows it
+0x98 and cascades into MechWeapon/Emitter/PPC/Sensor/Myomers -- all model the 0x54
AlarmIndicator with 4-byte ReconAlarm / 8-byte HeatAlarm stand-ins and are short +
phantom-tailed; retyping without byte-exacting them overflows the Emitter alloc (heap
corruption). PoweredSubsystem kept on HeatAlarm(8) stand-ins (marked) pending a
subsystem-tree ALARM UNIFICATION. See docs/HARD_PROBLEMS.md P7.

arcattackandClaude Opus 4.8 8b36440d05 subsystems: un-stub Wave 4 readouts + Wave 6 Myomers (10->15 factory cases) 
WAVE 4 (standalone readouts) -- Sensor(0xBC3)/Searchlight(0xBD8)/
ThermalSight(0xBDE)/AmmoBin(0xBCB) un-stubbed via Create<Class>Subsystem
bridges + Torso-style de-shim (drop cross-family shadow fields, redirect
accessors to the real inherited base, static_assert layout locks).
- FIX: Searchlight/ThermalSight ctors gated their Performance on the shadow
  segmentFlags(=0) so it NEVER installed; switched to owner->simulationFlags.
- AmmoBin: retype ammoAlarm HeatAlarm->WatcherGaugeAlarm(0x54) + drop the
  statusState@0x40 shadow -> exact 0x22C layout.
- Guard HeatWatcher::WatchSimulation against the unresolved watchedLink
  (null-deref exposed once these sims run; faithful fix = resolve the link).
- Heat-leaf branch (Sensor) is not byte-exact -> overflow-lock only.

WAVE 6 (Myomers 0xBC6, mover-coupled) -- structural un-stub, gated
BT_MYOMERS (default on; =0 -> Actuator stub). Wired INERT: MyomersSimulation
early-returns (advanced-damage gate stubbed) + no-op mover feed, so the live
JointedMover is untouched and the gait cannot regress. De-shim drops the
owner*/segmentFlags shims to fit the exact-0x358 alloc. Authentic mover/heat
coupling deferred (needs messmgr 0xBD3 + reconciling the mover feed with the
gait cutover).

Verified: BLH tick 20->27, Mad Cat 24, combat DESTROYED un-regressed,
locomotion un-regressed, 0 crashes, 0 heap detections under BT_HEAPCHECK.

arcattackandClaude Opus 4.8 7b7d465e5e Initial commit: bt411 -- standalone Windows BattleTech (Tesla 4.10 port) 
Clean, self-contained extraction of the BattleTech-specific work from the
reverse-engineering workspace -- engine + game + content + build, with nothing
from Red Planet or the raw archive dumps. Builds green (Win32) and runs the
single-player drive->animate->target->fire->damage->destroy loop out of the box.

Layout:
  engine/   MUNGA + MUNGA_L4 shared 2007 engine, carrying our BT render/loader
            work (bgfload/L4D3D/L4VIDEO: BSL bit-slice decode, LOD/ground/shadow
            models) + image codec; the minimal rp/ headers the audio HAL needs
  game/     reconstructed BT logic + surviving-original BT source + fwd shims
            + WinMain launcher
  content/  full runtime tree (BTL4.RES, VIDEO/, GAUGE/, AUDIO/, eggs, BTDPL.INI)
  docs/     format specs + reconstruction ledgers
  reference/ raw Ghidra pseudocode (recon source-of-truth) + decomp exporter
  tools/    MP console emulator + map/resource scanners

One top-level CMake builds munga_engine lib + bt410_l4 game lib + btl4.exe.
All paths relativized (186 fwd shims + ~437 CMake abs paths -> repo-relative);
DXSDK is the one external, overridable via -DDXSDK. Verified: builds to a
byte-identical 2.27MB exe and runs combat (TARGET DESTROYED, 0 crashes) against
the bundled content.
