The frame-adapter's inferred twist-sign flip (SelectSlice theta -= twist,
vs the binary's += pre-reflection) was the last unverified half of #124 --
every earlier probe ran at twist 0. Bench: stationary madcat target with
the torso PINNED at 0 / +140 / -140 deg, LRM salvos from a fixed shooter
(missiles = the authentic cylinder path; the binary DROPPED zone -1 beam
damage). Result: slice picks track the physically-facing flank in BOTH
directions (twist-left -> right-family zones for left-flank impacts,
twist-right -> left-family), deterministic, wrong-sign outcome (slice 7
vs observed slice 1) clearly excluded. No game-code change needed.
Instrumentation added (all env-gated):
- torso.cpp BT_FORCE_TWIST=<-1..1>: HOLD the sim's analogTwistAxis (the
input-level pin was dead -- live input rides the CONTROLS.MAP device
push, and Basic mode auto-centers; sim-level is plumbing-independent).
- dmgtable.cpp [slice] line: rot flag, live twist, thetaIn/thetaAdj,
chosen slice -- the weighted leaf roll made zone-only logs ambiguous.
- [dmgresolve] now names the zone (BTMechZoneSegAndName).
- mech4.cpp BT_FORCE_TWIST input pin + one-shot mode cycle (kept as doc
of the dead path), mechmppr [mppr] mode probe.
- scratchpad/night11/twistsign.sh: the 3-config bench.
