The real cockpit board now drives the cab instead of PadRIO, frozen in the
profile so all five tester launchers get it. Nothing above the seam changed
-- the 109-mapping L4 control table installs exactly as on a desktop, and the
cab keeps the GLASS display stack. BT_PLATFORM=pod is NOT the way to this;
that would drag in the 1995 gauge path. RIO:COM1 -> \.\COM1 at 9600 8N1.
Evidence the link is real, not just "the port opened":
RIO successfully initialized!
FAILURE.LOG: 4 missing boards (Slot 3:0, 3:2, 4:0, 5:0), 16 dead lamps
[ctrlmap] push stick x=0.0595238 y=0 <- physical stick outside deadband
A specific 4-of-many board inventory is the proof: a dead serial line reports
the WHOLE address space missing. Reproduced after deleting FAILURE.LOG. The
dead lamps are the boards this partial crash cart does not have.
Banner honesty: "GLASS (PadRIO ...)" was hardcoded, so a wired cab reported
PadRIO on the very line you read to check which device won. It now names the
resolved one -- GLASS (hardware RIO; plasma off [L4PLASMA]).
Recorded in pod-hardware.md, including that RIO and PAD are mutually exclusive
(both assign rioPointer, last token wins) and that a CENTRED stick reads x=0,
which is indistinguishable from no data -- so the by-hand check of stick,
throttle, pedals, buttons and the Ranger calibration is still outstanding.
