The BT_GLASS_PANELS windows self-place in a pod-faithful ring and re-snap
once the main window is up. They carry WS_CAPTION so a dev can drag them,
but the drag never survived the menu->mission->menu relaunch loop.
BT_GLASS_LAYOUT (L4GLASSWIN.cpp) adds opt-in persistence to a cwd-relative
glass_layout.cfg beside bindings.txt (gitignored):
off/0/unset computed ring only, no file I/O (default, pod-faithful)
load restore saved positions on startup (per-window fallback
to computed); never writes
save/adjust restore first, then rewrite on each finished drag
(WM_EXITSIZEMOVE) and on teardown -- the round trip
One "<title>=x,y,w,h" line per window; position restored, size ignored
(frame size is deterministic from content, so an old w,h can't distort a
later geometry change). A restored window is flagged so ComputeLayout's
post-main-window re-snap leaves hand-placed windows alone. Native
analogue of TeslaRel410 pod-launch's per-rig --bridge-pos/--layout args.
Verified [T2 runtime round-trip]: load restored 7 from a seeded cfg;
save wrote all 7 with a window moved to 777,333 (GetWindowRect read the
live window); relaunch in load put that window physically at 777,333
after the re-snap fired. Release links clean (only the 40 tolerated
/FORCE externals).
