The cockpit gauge config binds Subsystem/Attribute names (e.g.
HeatSink/CurrentTemperature) resolved by ParseAttribute -> FindSubsystem ->
GetAttributePointer -> the class's activeAttributeIndex. HeatSink wired
GetAttributeIndex() into DefaultData but published an EMPTY table (only the
inherited SimulationState id 1), so every HeatSink/* numeric read NULL ->
guarded to 0.
Add HeatSink::AttributePointers[] + GetAttributeIndex() publishing CoolantMass
(coolantLevel @0x12C), CoolantCapacity (thermalCapacity @0x128), and
CurrentTemperature (inherited currentTemperature @0x114), chained to the parent
index so SimulationState is preserved and the built index stays dense (ids run
contiguously from HeatableSubsystem::NextAttributeID -- a gap would make
AttributeIndexSet::Find strcmp a garbage slot). Condenser and Reservoir derive
from HeatSink with no override, so they inherit this table for free.
Verified live (BT_DEV_GAUGES): the Heat surface heatsink-temperature readout
(numeric HeatSink/CurrentTemperature, a base engine primitive that was already
drawing NULL) now shows 77 (= startTemp) instead of 0. Combat un-regressed
(TARGET DESTROYED after 8 hits), 0 crashes. The coolant attributes are ready
for the vertBar widget (next increment).
