Joe DiPrimaandClaude Fable 5 36f68718c2 the visible limp (#78): there was never a jump-jet clip set -- the 'Airborne' drivers ARE the gimp gait machines
The port had FUN_004a5bf8/71f4 fully reconstructed as AdvanceBody/Leg-
AnimationAirborne, gated on (MovementMode()==3||4) && jumpCapable@0x580 and
believed dead ("the test mech never jumps").  The binary says otherwise:
mech+0x40 in that gate is the graphicAlarm LEVEL (3=left-leg gimp, 4=right)
and +0x580 is hasGimpClips, set by the conditional loader block that probes
'wgl' and fills clip slots 22-27 (wgl/wgr/ggr/ggl/gsl/gsr) plus the four
measurements at 0x53c-0x548 (wg entry strides = speed caps, gg cycle strides).
Renamed the five jump* members + both drivers accordingly.

New: GimpBodyClipFinished @004a6344 / GimpLegClipFinished @004a7970 -- the
gimp transition machines, branched from the normal finished-callbacks.  Phase-
correct limp entry (left-gimp enters 0x16/wgl only from a RIGHT step, right-
gimp 0x17/wgr from a LEFT step), gg cycles at gimp cadence, gs exits, and the
demand clamp to the gimped side's speed cap (leg cb writes it back into the
mapper -- the binary's authentic slowdown; the T3 x0.5 stand-in in mechmppr is
retired, BT_GIMP_SPEED now defaults 1.0).  The binary's gimp machines have no
reverse entry -- the "reverse disabled" behavior is now binary-proven.

Reviving the dead drivers replayed two port-glue bugs (gotcha #24): the raw
*(controlSource) mapper read (null -> crash at first engagement) and the
missing alarm->member state re-sync (machine pinned in one run state).  Both
fixed; bench harness gained BT_SELF_DAMAGE_TICKS=<n> to hold a zone past
LegHalfStructure without destroying it.

Bench-verified (madcat, novice, zone 16): crossing -> alarm 4 -> wgr entry
from a left step -> 8k+ frames stable in the ggl limp cycle at cadence 14.77
(vs 18.5 walk / 22+ run) with raw demand still 50.  [T2]

// lines 0xD3, 0x13B, 0x206, 0x2E8 and 0x672 respectively -- confirming the

//
// These four functions are Mech METHODS. The Mech class declaration is owned
// by mech.cpp / mech.hpp (the first slice); this file therefore declares no
// header of its own. The member offsets it touches are documented in the
// "Mech animation member map" block below so the mech.hpp owner can fold them
// into the class definition (see report). Field offsets noted in comments are
// the byte offsets observed in the decompiled object (e.g. "@0x348").
//
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------//
// THE TWO ANIMATION CHANNELS
//
// A Mech carries two parallel gait animators, each a SequenceController plus a
// small state machine driven by an AlarmIndicator that stores the current
// animation enumerant:
//
// Channel A ("leg" / locally-simulated gait)
// legAnimation @0x65c SequenceController
// legStateAlarm @0x39c AlarmIndicator (current state readable @0x3b0)
// legCycleSpeed @0x348 smoothed leg-cycle speed
// Input: the *live* commanded speed from the controls subsystem
// ( *(*(this+0x128)) + 0x128 ).
//
// Channel B ("body" / displayed-motion gait, integrated by Mech::IntegrateMotion
// @004ab1c8 to advance the world transform)
// bodyAnimation @0x6bc SequenceController
// bodyStateAlarm @0x714 AlarmIndicator (current state readable @0x728)
// bodyCycleSpeed @0x6b8 smoothed body-cycle speed
// bodyTargetSpeed @0x6b4 target speed snapshot (dead-reckoned / net)
//
// Each channel ships in two flavours selected per-frame by movementMode @0x40
// (see Mech::IntegrateMotion @004ab1c8, which picks the airborne body updater
// when (movementMode==3 || movementMode==4) && jumpActive @0x580):
// "ground" -- 0x5028 (leg) / 0x5678 (body)
// "airborne" -- 0x71f4 (leg) / 0x5bf8 (body): adds the FallForward /
// FallBackward jump-jet states 0x18/0x19 and clamps the
// commanded speed to the jump-speed limits.
//
// The exact A=leg / B=body role split is best-effort; what is certain from the
// decomp is the (channelA,channelB) x (ground,airborne) 2x2 grouping and the
// data each reads. Flagged inline as TODO where uncertain.
