Joe DiPrima fcd592c0f2 #165 ROOT-CAUSED after three failed fixes -- the binary keeps ONE destroyed cell per subsystem (+0x40: fire gate, dial X, wire header, every writer) and the port split it into FOUR stores; the everyday CRIT-LOTTERY kill (MechWeapon::TakeDamage) bypassed the reconstructed base and wrote only the X store, so X'd weapons kept firing while every prior fix aimed at a gate that was never broken (the 4,213-refusal bench drove BT_KILL_SUBSYS, which writes all cells -- it validated readers, not writers). FIX: MechWeapon::TakeDamage chains to MechSubsystem::TakeDamage (@0x4ac0bc semantics); the port-authored FSM-from-damage tail is DELETED (it parked partial-crit weapons at level 1 -- no FSM case, the silent freeze, and with beamFlag armed the 883 hanging beam: #164's upstream writer, caught red-handed by berserker's 20x STUCK-ON receipts); the phantom uninitialized simulationState int is ctor-initialized and kept in lockstep at every destroyed write; always-on [crit] DESTROYED receipt makes crit kills field-visible. BT_CRIT_SUBSYS bench hook drives the REAL writer path; weaponx_bench PASS: kill phase 0 FIRED post / 5,664 refusals / X+gate agree, partial phase keeps firing. Gotcha 30; #174 filed (cascade re-descend)

#170 root-caused + fixed: the #163 SteamAPI_Shutdown was the crash -- at round end every peer's close events are ALWAYS in flight, and Shutdown tears client state down while steamclient's own service thread dispatches them (the field stack: a steamclient worker calling literal NULL, zero btl4 frames, 7 hits / 3 machines / one module-relative stack). BTSteamNet_ShutdownAll is now a QUIESCE: steamActive gated FIRST, linger closes ('round over' not timeouts), one SNS drain, 60ms grace, NO SteamAPI_Shutdown -- and every exit path dies via TerminateProcess (menu-quit no longer returns through the CRT; it uses BTOrderlyDie like everything else, so the 883 detach deadlock stays dead too). Status callback guarded for the dying window. Crash filter now names foreign DLL frames (module+offset via VirtualQuery/GetModuleFileName) so the next foreign-thread crash arrives pre-symbolized. Exit contract: steam-networking.md
