NameFilter is the Mech's mechNameFilter (@0x36c), a small fixed debounce record
the ctor initialises. Reconstructed from FUN_00435a7c: a 10-word (0x28) struct,
Initialize() sets [2]=1 / [8]=[9]=-1 / rest 0 exactly. Header-only. Field
semantics unresolved (only caller is Initialize; reader is the unbuilt HUD) --
names best-effort, but size + init values are binary-exact, which is all the
Mech layout + ctor need.
All 3 missing embedded helper classes now reconstructed + compile-verified under
BC4.52 (AlarmIndicator, SequenceController struct+Init, NameFilter). MECH-LAYOUT.md
step 1 marked done. Next: MechSubsystem base + the subsystem roster, then finalize
MECH.HPP (probe sizeof==0x854), then the ctor + segment-table walk.

Full-archive re-check: AverageOf DOES survive (AVERAGE.HPP, the SIGNATURED
lineage BT411 preserved), so telemetryFilter[5]'s type is available. The
genuinely-missing embedded helpers are just AlarmIndicator, SequenceController,
and NameFilter (confirmed absent from all of CODE; no alarm/filter/sequence
headers) -- to be reconstructed from BT411 decomp before the Mech layout finalizes.

Begins the Mech reconstruction milestone (analysis phase). Extends the existing
MECH-LAYOUT.md worksheet with the findings needed to build MECH.HPP + the ctor:
- Resolved the BT411 mechrecon.hpp proxy layer to real 1995 types (ReconAlarm ->
AlarmIndicator, ReconSeq -> SequenceController, ReconFiltered -> AverageOf<
Scalar>/NameFilter, ReconChain -> ChainOf, ReconMatrix -> AffineMatrix;
StateIndicator/Reticle survive as-is; BTVal mostly base-class pose fields).
- CRITICAL: AlarmIndicator, SequenceController, NameFilter, AverageOf are ALSO
absent from the 4.10 archive -- additional helper classes the milestone must
reconstruct first (their sizes set the embedded-member offsets).
- Subsystem source availability mapped: full (GAUSS/PPC/SENSOR), .TCP partials
(AMMOBIN/EMITTER/GNRATOR/HEAT/MISSILE/PROJTILE/PROJWEAP), decomp-only (rest).
- Key tractability insight: StateIndicator is fixed-size (level count stored, not
arrayed), so a FUNCTIONAL fresh build needs only the right member set/types in
order -- byte-exact offset matching is a later refinement for network wire
format, not required to boot.
- Revised reconstruction order: helpers -> MechSubsystem+roster -> finalize
MECH.HPP (probe sizeof==0x854) -> ctor+segment walk -> per-frame path.
Everything below the Mech ctor runs real reconstructed code; the ctor is the
live frontier (spawn factory validated last commit).

All 10 surviving original TUs plus the reconstructed BTL4APP.CPP pilot build
clean with the authentic OPT.MAK flags (compile410.sh --sweep). First time
the 4.10 BattleTech source has compiled since 1996.
- layout_probe.cpp: the period compiler measures 1995 layouts from the
surviving headers; validated 3/3 against binary alloc sizes (BTMission
0xFC, BTL4ModeManager 0xC, BTRegistry 0x10). Base boundary: Simulation
0xD0 / Entity 0x1C4 / Mover 0x300 / JointedMover 0x328 => Mech-own region
0x328-0x854 (MECH-LAYOUT.md staging worksheet).
- 13 staged headers close the family ([T3] reserved[]-parked layouts;
interfaces PROVEN by the surviving consumers): MECH, MECHSUB, HEAT,
POWERSUB, MECHWEAP, EMITTER, MECHMPPR, BTPLAYER (BTPlayer__MakeMessage =
Player's 8 args + roleName/teamName [T1 via BTREG]), PROJTILE, MISSILE,
BTL4MPPR, BTL4VID + the round-2 BTCNSL/BTSCNRL.
- compile410.sh: PCH gate retired (bt.hpp/mungal4.hpp full include sets),
DPL SDK roots on the include line.
- BTL4APP.CPP: appmgr include + GetApplicationManager()->GetFrameRate() +
ResourceDescription:: scoping; Fail() held at its recorded line 400.
- Evidence ledgers: STAGED-HEADERS.NOTES.md, MECH-LAYOUT.md, BACKFILLS,
BTCNSL (binary-recovered console wire IDs), BTSCNRL.
Remaining for a linkable BTL4OPT: the ~40 missing TU bodies (917-function
manifest) - the header skeleton they grow into now exists and compiles.
