arcattackandClaude Fable 5 b44c0f98f6 PFX continuous-rate emission (data-verified) + persistent wreck smoke
The one-burst emitter batching was wrong: in EVERY shipped .PFX,
maxIssue/rate == release_period (DAFC 25/100~=0.2, DNBOOM 35/150~=0.2, DDAM2
35/16~=2, DDTHSMK 30/3=10) -- release_period is the EMISSION WINDOW and rate
is particles/second emitted continuously across it.  The death smoke plume is
authored as a 3/sec trickle for 10 seconds (+6s particle life), not one
same-frame puff.  Emitters now integrate rate*dt until maximum_issue.

Wreck smoke (port addition, [T3]): a destroyed mech re-arms the death/rubble
smoke plume (psfx 1, DDTHSMK) every 10s -- its own authored window -- so the
dead hulk visibly keeps smoking instead of standing there looking alive (the
freeze-death is invisible on an already-stationary target).  New member
Mech::wreckSmokeTimer; UpdateDeathState takes dt.
