arcattackandClaude Fable 5 02d5543c7f Archive the ORIGINAL 1995 player manual (from Nick) + alignment audit ...

reference/manual/Tesla40_BT_manual.pdf -- the genuine Tesla 4.0 BT
player manual, 34pp.  Primary-source alignment audit (pod-hardware.md
SManual): the reconstruction matches on EVERY checked control behavior:

- control modes are named BAS/MID/ADV in print (mechanics identical to
  our Basic/Standard/Veteran incl. the ADV no-auto-slow turn clamp)
- stick right = torso right in MID/ADV (today's sign fix); Blackhawk
  and Owens named as THE fixed-torso exceptions; twist arc ~120
  (per-mech: Loki/Thor tables say 110 deg limit, 60 deg/s)
- continuous throttle lever; reverse = HOLD the red throttle button
  (our 0x3F hold-state model)
- Hot Box MFD = callsign buttons + CLOSEST (our hotbox button 8 ->
  ChooseNearestPilot); radar travel-oriented w/ 60-deg wedge sweeping
  on twist; map zoom +/- beside the secondary screen
- experience gates the hunting aids (standard sim only); expert adds
  movement heat
- per-mech stat sheets + coolant-loop tables = a systematic
  cross-check source for our streamed subsystem resources

NEW LEADS the manual surfaces: CROUCH (button by the secondary screen;
duckState attr + SQUAT clips exist, no input drives them), EJECT
(button beside the joystick; EjectButton01 sounds exist), the hot-box
viewscreen framing (deferred PNAME marker chain).
