CydandClaude Fable 5 4037e39810 Paint the cockpit panes immediately - queued WM_PAINTs starve
The game loop pumps ONE message per frame (APPMGR.cpp PeekMessage), and
WM_PAINT is synthesized only when the queue is otherwise empty - so the
child panes queued invalidations that never delivered: the map stayed
black and button lamps froze at their first-paint state on the live
screen. (PrintWindow-based captures forced paints and the synthetic
SendMessage click bypassed the queue, which is why every automated
verification looked fine while the live window was frozen.)

MFDSplitView::Repaint and PlasmaScreen::Update now paint synchronously
via RedrawWindow(RDW_INVALIDATE|RDW_UPDATENOW) at fill time, and the
button press/release feedback goes through the same path. Verified with
a true screen capture (CopyFromScreen): map drawing live, timer
counting, the active preset lamp bright on the map right column.

Lamp anchor sanity-check against the game code: mode switch NOV/STD/
VET/EXP = ButtonAuxUpperRight5-8 = 0x33..0x30 = the upper-right MFD
bottom strip left-to-right; presets = Secondary7-12 = 0x18-0x1D = the
map right column - both match the placed buttons.
