The gauge-databinding-map workflow found most cockpit gauges resolve NULL
because the reconstructed subsystems publish only a fraction of the attributes
the config binds. First publishing batch (attribute tables are read-only static
data; ids kept a dense prefix from each parent's NextAttributeID):
- HeatSink table dense-append: DegradationTemperature/FailureTemperature (the
condenser temp-bar warn/max endpoints -- were NULL, so the two-part bars could
not scale), NormalizedPressure/DegradationPressure/CoolantMassLeakRate, and the
HeatSink link. Condenser/Reservoir inherit this -> all 6 condenser temp bars
now resolve current/warn/max (verified: BT_GAUGE_ATTR_LOG all OK).
- PoweredSubsystem::GetAttributeIndex() (new) publishes InputVoltage->voltageSource
-- the cluster power-branch gate (the power-lamp/generator-voltage/state-lamp
sub-branch is skipped when it resolves NULL). Flows to Sensor/Myomers/weapons.
- MechWeapon::GetAttributeIndex() (new) publishes OutputVoltage/PercentDone->
rechargeLevel; Emitter/PPC/ProjectileWeapon/MissileLauncher/GaussRifle DefaultData
re-pointed at it (they carried an EMPTY default-constructed index -> resolved
NOTHING). Verified: the ER MED LASER / PPC / STREAK weapon clusters now render
live recharge dials (were blank TEMP/STATUS).
- Mech::SetTargetRange un-stubbed (radarRange = range) -> the radar map scale +
overlay range readout track the mapper's zoom (was frozen at 1000).
- GAUGREND ParseAttribute: env-gated per-binding resolution trace (BT_GAUGE_ATTR_LOG)
-- durable diagnostic infra for the wave.
Verified DBASE+dev gauges: no startup/gauge-construction crash (dense chain intact),
combat un-regressed (TARGET DESTROYED), clusters build with InputVoltage resolving.
Remaining config-binding NULLs: HeatSink/AmbientTemperature (aggregate bank, P3) +
Searchlight/LightOn (P1b).
