arcattackandClaude Opus 4.8 2bcca26cea WAVE 7 Phase A: wire the projectile/missile weapon SUBSYSTEMS byte-exact (un-mislabeled)
An 8-agent decomp-mapping workflow mapped every weapon-family ctor + fire/spawn path
(scratchpad/wave7_maps.txt).  KEY IDENTITY CORRECTION via VDATA.h enum (base 3000=0xBB8):
the factory ctor-address comments were right but the built CLASS names were stubs/base --
    0xBCD == ProjectileWeapon  (was building the base MechWeapon stub)
    0xBCE == GaussRifle         (NOT MissileLauncher -- was a MissileLauncher stub)
    0xBD0 == MissileLauncher    (NOT BallisticWeapon -- was a BallisticWeapon stub)
Un-mislabeled + wired via Create<Class>Subsystem bridges (mirroring CreateEmitterSubsystem),
each static_assert-locked byte-exact on the now-locked MechWeapon(0x3F0)/Emitter(0x478) bases:

  * ProjectileWeapon (0xBCD, @4bc3fc : MechWeapon, sizeof 0x448)
      FIX: AmmoBinConnection was an empty 1-byte struct -> retyped to the binary's 0xC
           SharedData::Connection (was making the object 8 bytes short, sliding
           MissileLauncher's missileCount off 0x448).
  * MissileLauncher (0xBD0, @4bcff0 : ProjectileWeapon, sizeof 0x44C)
      FIX: deleted muzzleVelocity (ALIAS of inherited ProjectileWeapon launchVelocity@0x410)
           and salvoCount (SHADOW of inherited MechWeapon damageData.burstCount@0x3d4),
           keeping the single own field missileCount@0x448.
  * GaussRifle (0xBCE, @4bdcb4 : Emitter, sizeof 0x484 = Emitter + Vector3D muzzleVelocity)
      DEDICATED bridge (not CreateEmitter): its FireWeapon is a no-op (mov [eax+0x414],0) --
      a non-functional weapon in this 1995 build.  Also fixed GAUSS.CPP's discharge write
      rechargeLevel -> currentLevel@0x414 (the binary writes this+0x414).

Phase A safe-stubs FireWeapon (consume round + recoil, NO spawn): the reconstructed
Projectile (@4be1bc, 0x340) + Missile (@4bf5b4, 0x368) ENTITY classes are NOT spawn-ready
(Entity-base phantom members overflow their New() alloc -> heap corruption; New() takes
(int)this instead of the 0xD4 descriptor; Entity base size unconfirmed 2007-vs-1995, the
Mech 0x638-vs-0x854 problem).  The workflow's adversarial verify flagged the live spawn as a
heap-overflow hazard and recommended exactly this phasing.  Phase B = the entity byte-exactness
+ descriptor build + New(MakeMessage*) so a fired shot becomes a flying entity that damages.

Factory now 18 of 20 cases wired to real ticking classes (remaining: SubsystemMessageManager
0xBD3 [WAVE 8], Gyroscope 0xBC4 [deferred]).  Verified: Mad Cat (LRM/ballistic) + BLH construct
the real weapon classes + tick authentic charge/ammo/heat/recoil, DESTROYED-in-8, 0 crashes,
heapcheck-clean through construction.  Energy weapons already damage via the mech4 beam path,
so combat is unaffected.

// RECONSTRUCTED from the shipped binary (Ghidra pseudo-C, module cluster
// @004bbae0-@004bcff0, file=bt/projweap.cpp). Cross-referenced against the
// SURVIVING sources PROJWEAP.TCP (TestClass/ResetToInitialState stubs),
// MISLANCH.HPP (MissileLauncher : ProjectileWeapon -- pins this interface and
// the resource layout), and the reconstructed base mechweap.hpp/.cpp.
//
// Inheritance chain established from the decomp:
// ... -> PoweredSubsystem -> MechWeapon (mechweap.cpp, ctor @004b99a8)
// -> ProjectileWeapon (this file, vtable @0051242c, ctor @004bc3fc)
// -> MissileLauncher (mislanch.cpp, vtable @00512570, ctor @004bcff0)
//
// EVIDENCE that this class is ProjectileWeapon (not Emitter):
// * The class-name string "ProjectileWeapon" lives at DAT_00512280, immediately
// adjacent to this class's vtable group (@00512424/@0051242c).
// * MechWeapon has exactly TWO direct children whose ctors chain to the
// MechWeapon ctor @004b99a8: the energy weapon Emitter (ctor @004bb120,
// vtable @00512078, parses SeekVoltage/DischargeTime) and THIS class
// (ctor @004bc3fc, vtable @0051242c, parses AmmoBin/TracerInterval).
// * MissileLauncher's ctor (@004bcff0) chains to THIS ctor (@004bc3fc) and adds
// exactly { int missileCount; Vector3D muzzleVelocity; } at resource +0x1D0 /
// +0x1D4 -- precisely the MissileLauncher__SubsystemResource of MISLANCH.HPP.
// By definition MissileLauncher's direct base IS ProjectileWeapon, so the
// class at @004bc3fc is ProjectileWeapon.
//
// NOTE on PROJWEAP.TCP: the surviving .TCP is an early test-scaffold (no copyright
// banner) in which TestClass() just returns True and ResetToInitialState() is
// empty. The shipped binary implements a real ResetToInitialState (@004bbaf8);
// the empty body was filled in after the .TCP snapshot. TestClass()==True still
// holds.
//
// Field offsets in comments are byte offsets into the shipped object; the
// MechWeapon base occupies everything below +0x3F0. ProjectileWeapon members
// span +0x3F0..+0x447 (object size 0x448). Several member NAMES are taken from
// the binary's own attribute strings ("TotalTimeToEject"/"TimeToEject"/
// "PercentOfEject"/"EjectAmmo" @DAT_00512290) and resource tag strings
// ("TracerInterval","AmmoBin","MinTimeOfFlight","MinVoltagePercentToFire",
// "MinJamChance"); the remainder are inferred from usage and flagged best-effort.
