NET-NOTES: Mac console egress window also 3.4s -- venue delay = print time

Browse Source 
Measured Console 4.10 through the mirror: mission end to lights-off is
3.4s, identical to the TeslaConsole, with the Mac printer spooling to a
file. No egress-delay key exists in any console INI. Best explanation
for the remembered venue window: the console closes after spooling the
score sheet, and on period hardware that was a 9600-baud serial print
taking tens of seconds -- the floor lights stayed on for the print
duration. The hold itself is genuinely console-gated (pod holds
indefinitely when no close arrives).

MEASURED BOTH CONSOLES: TeslaConsole = 3.4s AND Console 4.10 = 3.4s
(with its printer spooling to a file). The remembered longer venue
window is best explained by PERIOD PRINT TIME: Console 4.10 spools the
score sheet at mission end, and a 9600-baud serial print of a multi-KB
sheet = tens of seconds before the close follows -- the floor lights
stayed on for exactly the score-print duration. (No egress-delay key
exists in Console.ini / venue INIs -- checked.) The hold is genuinely
console-gated: when the console doesn't close, the pod holds
indefinitely (observed minutes). Lamp
state byte: flash bits0-1 (solid/slow/med/fast), ch1 bits2-3
(off/dim/bright), ch2 bits4-5. Extraction tool: scratchpad
lamp_read.py pattern (tap lines are one byte each).
