XInput button emission is edge-based against previousPadButtons; the
disconnect path zeroed that memory WITHOUT emitting release edges, so
any button held when a controller (wrapper) died stayed pressed
game-side forever -- and the zeroing also erased what a reconnect would
have released. Field signature (playtest night): a PS3-pad-in-xbox-
mode wrapper died mid-hat-hold -> the look-view machine (hold-based,
mppr) latched a side view with the authored look pitch ("stuck side
view + pitch at ground, no recovery"); the keyboard-only run was clean.
On the connected->disconnected transition PadRIO now emits
EmitButton(address, 0) for every binding whose mask was held, then
forgets. Not reproducible headless (needs a real hardware unplug
mid-hold) -- awaiting the reporter's controller for live verification.
