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.
