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.

Brings Cyd's experience-level / simulation-mode research onto master (the
KB-decode portion of glass-cockpit 4e01e83; the bundled BT410 source
manifest is left for the full glass-cockpit merge).
- context/experience-levels.md (NEW): the egg per-pilot 'experience' field
(novice/standard/veteran/expert) is the pod's SIMULATION-FIDELITY tier,
decoded end-to-end. FUN_004c0bc8 reads btMission->experienceLevel(+0xe4)
and fans it into the +0x25c/+0x260/+0x26c/+0x270/+0x274 flag block:
+0x25c 'sim live' (novice lockout: jams/searchlight/powersub), +0x260 the
HEAT-MODEL master switch (veteran+expert; FUN_004ad7d4), +0x274 raw level
(FUN_004ac9c8 = ==0 novice predicate; the valve/advanced-cockpit lockout).
4.0->4.10 drift: the viewscreen hunting-aid gate is GONE in 4.10 (HUD reads
none of these flags), and movement heat is veteran+expert not expert-only.
- btplayer.cpp/.hpp: CORRECTED comments/labels -- the +0x25c..+0x274 block is
seeded from btMission experienceLevel/advancedDamageOn, NOT the scenario
role's returnFromDeath; the 'roleClassIndex/showKills' names are scoring-era
mislabels. Code logic UNCHANGED (comment-only): the ctor still reads
scenarioRole (STAND-IN, defaults 2 = veteran) pending the wiring task.
- Corrections swept into gauges-hud.md (ROOKIE->novice lockout),
open-questions.md (player+0x260/0x274 semantics now PINNED),
pod-hardware.md, subsystems.md, decomp-reference.md; CLAUDE.md router row.
No code-logic change -> no rebuild needed (comment + markdown only). The
runtime wiring (seed from BTMission::ExperienceLevel()) remains TODO.
