The reconstruction modeled the binary's shared alarm/connection types with undersized
stand-ins, sliding every field above them low (the 72-byte auxScreenNumber gap). Fix the
foundational heat-leaf classes byte-exact + static_assert-lock them, from the ctor decomp:
Shared types corrected:
* SubsystemConnection 4 -> 0xC (binary link node FUN_004af9cf; FUN_00417ab4 derefs +8)
* GaugeAlarm54 = 0x54 (real AlarmIndicator FUN_0041b9ec; STATUS level at +0x14,
so subsystem+0x184 == heatAlarm+0x14 == GetLevel())
WatcherGaugeAlarm now typedefs GaugeAlarm54 (Watcher branch locks stay valid).
Byte-exact + locked (ctor-verified):
* HeatSink heatEnergy@0x158 linkedSinks@0x164 heatAlarm@0x170 resource@0x1C4
pendingHeat@0x1C8, sizeof 0x1D0 (@004adda0)
* Condenser valveState@0x1D0 condenserAlarm@0x1DC (@004ae568)
* Reservoir reservoirAlarm@0x1D0 ... squirtEfficiency@0x22C, sizeof 0x230 (@4aef78)
* Generator stateAlarm@0x1FC, sizeof 0x250 (@004b225c)
* Myomers phantom moverConnection tail removed (fits 0x358)
Three systemic bug classes fixed (added to the checklist in CLAUDE.md / HARD_PROBLEMS.md):
* alias field - a subclass member re-declaring an inherited slot the ctor reuses
(Condenser refrigerationOutput==massScale@0x160; Reservoir
coolantCapacity==thermalCapacity@0x128) -> use the inherited name
* alarm-interior - a value read at alarm+0x14 modeled as a separate member
(HeatSink heatState@0x184, Reservoir injectActive@0x1e4)
-> route to alarm.GetLevel()
* phantom field - a member past the object end (Generator shortFlag@0x25C is really
*(owner+0x190)+0x25c the msg-manager, @004b0efc; Myomers
moverConnection@0x110 a write-only base slot) -> remove it
Heat conduction now reads the REAL heatEnergy=1.34e7 (not garbage); combat DESTROYED-in-8,
0 crashes, heapcheck-clean through construction.
REMAINING (measured; a distinct larger task): making PoweredSubsystem byte-exact grows it
+0x98 and cascades into MechWeapon/Emitter/PPC/Sensor/Myomers -- all model the 0x54
AlarmIndicator with 4-byte ReconAlarm / 8-byte HeatAlarm stand-ins and are short +
phantom-tailed; retyping without byte-exacting them overflows the Emitter alloc (heap
corruption). PoweredSubsystem kept on HeatAlarm(8) stand-ins (marked) pending a
subsystem-tree ALARM UNIFICATION. See docs/HARD_PROBLEMS.md P7.
