Human re-test on the fresh build: zero-stop OK, but the lever could PARK inside
the walk/run hysteresis band (walkStrideLength@0x534 .. reverseSpeedMax@0x538)
where the gait SM has no stable state -- walk<->run hunt, EngineShiftFwd/Rev
retriggering ("mixed walk/run mode + repeated acceleration sample"). The
pod-build keyboard lever already snaps out of the band to the NEARER edge at
key-rest (mech4.cpp GAIT DETENT); the PadRIO slew channel lacked it.
Faithful port, not an invention: mech4.cpp publishes the band in lever units
every driven frame (gBTGaitDetentLo/Hi seam, same guards + the same +0.002
engage margin); L4PADRIO Poll() applies the identical nearer-edge snap to the
Throttle channel when the slew rests (no slew key held, no pad slew axis
deflected). Sweeping through the band while held stays continuous (the
authentic moving lever, one authentic shift).
Verified (DEV.EGG glass, graduated parks each ~0.10 of the sweep,
BT_GAIT_TRACE+BT_MPPR_TRACE): band [0.358026,0.50388) = demand 22.02-30.87;
in-band parks snap both directions (0.4137->lo, 0.465126->hi); no at-rest
sample in the band; exactly ONE walk->run clip (state 10) up and ONE run->walk
(state 14) down across the whole sweep; zero-stop unaffected; pod build
rebuilt + BT_AUTODRIVE smoke clean.

The crash (any typed key in a glass session; found via the backtick report):
the merge-reconciliation stand-down declared extern BTRIODevicePresent at
BLOCK scope inside the extern-C BTInputSuppressKey -- the declaration
inherited C linkage, _BTRIODevicePresent went UNRESOLVED, and /FORCE bound
the call to garbage (cdb: wild call into Sensor::DefaultData from
LBE4ControlsManager::Execute's suppression check). The tolerated-LNK2019
batch hid the new unresolved external -- the exact CLAUDE.md /FORCE trap.
Fix: the extern moved to file scope (C++ linkage); link verified clean of
_BTRIODevicePresent.
Backtick feature (per Cyd: backtick = 1st/3rd person): PadRIO edge-detects
VK_OEM_3 in its poll (focus-guarded, message-path-free) and the mech4 view
block consumes it beside the V action (which stands down with the binding
engine in glass mode). Verified live: two real presses -> [view] COCKPIT
eyepoint -> [view] external chase, game alive.

User-reported: glass left/right inverted. Closed with live sign algebra:
the joystick-group wire push was traced end to end (new env-gated
BT_CTRLMAP_LOG push trace + record mode-mask in the install log) --
measured wire stickX=-1 -> turnDemand=-1, the SAME demand the
user-verified dev D-key-RIGHT produces (stickX=+1 -> turnDemand=-1 via the
bridge's negate-once, cb82d8c). The mapper interprets the authentic RIO
WIRE convention: stick right = NEGATIVE JoystickX (the vRIO/RIOJoy
calibration convention). PadRIO now publishes X negated (all sources --
keyboard deflect, pad LX, panel -- uniformly); Y stays screen-sign;
L4PADFLIP still flips both. Also: PadRIO honors BT_KEY_NOFOCUS=1 (the
btinput harness override) for automation.

Per Cyd: the on-screen panel now mirrors vRIO (C:\VWE\vrio -- CockpitLayout.cs
+ PanelCanvas.cs, itself the RIOJoy profile-editor layout from the original
Win32 RIO mockup): five 4x2 MFD clusters (addresses descending), four 1x8
board columns (Throttle/Secondary/Screen/Joystick), the two 4x4 hex keypads
(0x50/0x60 -- cells emit real keypad KeyEvents: internal=pilot unit, external=
operator unit), physical names (Panic/Main/Hat*/Pinky...), vRIO colors: red
lamp cells + yellow Secondary/Screen + neutral-blue keypads, flash half-
periods 500/250/125ms, right-click latch (gold outline). 104 controls.
PlasmaWindow: the gauge renderer writes the 128x32 buffer TOP-DOWN -- the
bottom-up flip rendered the marquee upside down (user-reported); copy straight.
Button-trap guard (the e2c21c4 pattern): the authentic base
ConfigureMappableMessageHandler FAIL trap is abort() under DEBUGOFF -- any
aux/zoom button without its L4 override reconstructed KILLED the game on
press. Default now: loud [FAIL] log + ignore; BT_BUTTON_TRAP=1 restores the
hard trap. Verified live: synthetic click on a Secondary cell -> 2 [FAIL]
lines (press+release through panel->PadRIO->ProcessRIOEvent->streamed
mapping), game survives and keeps ticking.

NEW gated TUs: L4PADPANEL (GDI top-level window, all-W APIs: the pod button
banks -- upper/lower aux, 12 secondary, specials/hat/handle, 63 buttons --
clickable via PadRIO::SetScreenButton with lamp-lit faces from GetLampState,
10 Hz repaint; created by the PadRIO ctor on BT_PAD_PANEL=1) and L4PLASMAWIN
(PlasmaWindow : Video8BitBuffered -- the gauge renderer draws the 128x32
plasma into its pixelBuffer through the SAME code path as the serial device;
Update() blits orange-on-black at L4PLASMASCALE, default x4). Gated seams:
L4GREND.cpp L4PLASMA=SCREEN branch; btl4main.cpp -platform glass preset
(PAD,KEYBOARD + BT_DEV_GAUGES + SCREEN plasma + panel; env always overrides;
non-glass builds log+fall back to DEV); run.cmd glass token. MFD surfaces
need NO new code: the existing dock-bottom / BT_DEV_GAUGES_WINDOW=1 /
BT_DEV_GAUGES_DOCK=1 modes are the display story.
Verified live: -platform glass boots GLASS profile, panel + plasma windows
up, pad detected, dev gauges awake, mission loop clean.

L4RIO.h splits the abstract cockpit-control surface (RIOBase: enums, the five
analog Scalars, GetNextEvent/SetLamp, no-op serial ops, NEW IsOperational) out
of the serial RIO (RIO : PCSerialPacket, RIOBase -- byte-for-byte behavior kept,
ctor assigns as before); LBE4ControlsManager holds a RIOBase* and gains the
gated L4CONTROLS=PAD factory arm (BT_GLASS; OFF build logs+ignores the token).
NEW gated TUs: L4PADRIO (XInput+keyboard synthesize the surface; 3s hot-plug
re-probe; focus-guarded keys; per-poll AnalogEvent heartbeat; lampState[] +
static SetScreenButton/GetLampState for the panel) and L4PADBINDINGS
(content\bindings.txt profile, self-documenting default written on first run;
deflect/slew/set axis model; addresses validated against ButtonCount).
Verified live (glass build, L4CONTROLS=PAD): bindings written+parsed 44/10/5,
XInput pad detected, 121 streamed mappings install via stock PrimaryRIO path,
2157 frames clean. Pod build (gates OFF) compiles the split with zero
behavioral delta.
