The runaway loop the user heard was MissileLoading01: the ProjectileWeapon
(SRM/ballistic) state machine set Firing(0)/Loading(3)/Jammed(5)/NoAmmo(7) but
NEVER a ready/Loaded level, so at idle the launcher parked in Loading(3) forever.
Its WeaponState audio (weaponAlarm, now StateIndicator-firing) therefore looped
MissileLoading indefinitely -- the loop stops only when the alarm LEAVES the
loading state. (The laser sibling was fine: the Emitter DOES reach Loaded when
its charge tops off, so LaserACharge stopped.)
Fix: in ProjectileWeaponSimulation's default (idle/ready) branch, drive the state
from readiness -- Loaded(2, charge + ammo up = silent ready) once ReadyToFire,
else Loading(3, reloading). SetLevel fires audio only on a real change, so this
yields the natural Firing -> Loading(reload) -> Loaded(ready) cycle and the
MissileLoading loop now stops when the launcher finishes reloading. Verified:
weapon cycles Loading(3, recoil>0)->Loaded(2, recoil<=0); the only remaining
continuous loop is EnginePower (correct). Fire path unchanged.
Also: master volume default kept; richer BT_AUDIO_LOG StopNote/SetupPatch traces.
