arcattackandClaude Opus 4.8 225fa5951b Render: fog searchlight-swap verified INERT + BT_FOG_LOG diag (task #63)
Verifying the searchlight/nosearchlightfog swap (user request): it does NOT work.
The arcade swaps active fog between fog= (headlight on) and nosearchlightfog=
(off, darker/tighter) via PullFogRenderable::Execute (edge-triggered on the mech's
light attrs -> SetFogStyle searchLightOn/Off).  But PullFogRenderable is NEVER
CONSTRUCTED in the port (grep: only the .h decl + .cpp def; no `new`), and
searchLightOn/Off is called from nowhere else.  Empirical confirmation via the new
BT_FOG_LOG hook: over a 22s run SetFogStyle fired only style 0, zero style 2/3.

So fog is static at the searchlight-ON (fog=) values -- normal lights-on play, so
core per-map/time/weather fog is unaffected -- but the nosearchlightfog variant is
dead.  Corrects my earlier "the swap is wired end-to-end" claim (code paths exist,
trigger never instantiated).  KB rendering.md updated; wiring it back is a scoped
reconstruction (bind the Searchlight subsys light state to a constructed
PullFogRenderable at viewpoint setup).  No behavior change this commit -- diag only.
