CydandClaude Fable 5 110ecec2ca BT410 Phase 5.3.18: flying missiles -- spawn/home/detonate LIVE, teardown open
The Missile entity family is reconstructed: Projectile : Mover gets a real
make-path ctor; Missile hosts the Seeker + MissleThruster roster (the
AUTHENTIC surviving SEEKER.HPP / MISTHRST.HPP interfaces -- the 1995
misspelling included) and flies the binary's guided integrator (@004bef78):
age/lifetime, seeker re-lead with the decoded loft constants
(200/50/300/0.1), thruster burn, steering (gain 4.0, deadband 1e-4), and
the proximity fuse delivering the cluster damage ONCE with the launcher as
inflictor.  Live-verified end-to-end: LAUNCH -> flight telemetry (thruster
visibly accelerating) -> DETONATE on the target ~0.9s out.

OPEN: the first ~Missile off the death row completes, then the frame
page-faults with EIP in the heap -- the first entity/subsystem teardown the
reconstructed sim has ever run.  The spawn path is therefore OPT-IN
(BT_MISSILE_FLIGHT=1); default SRM delivery stays the 5.3.18a instant-hit
cluster (verified 1:1, zero exceptions).  Forensics + engine truths
(SearchList crashes on non-directory ids; MakeMessages need FAMILY resource
ids; explosionModelFile is a model-list INDEX) in MISSILE.NOTES.md.

Also fixed on the way: the Subsystem NAME ctor left damageZone
UNINITIALIZED (latent garbage for every name-built subsystem).

CydandClaude Fable 5 76cfc64353 BT410 Phase 5.3.16: targeting + damage -- two-mech fights are LIVE
The simulation is now a FIGHT. Mech target slot (+0x388), authentic
Loaded->Firing gate (viewFireEnable && HasActiveTarget), UpdateTargeting
range refresh, and SendDamage via the engine TakeDamageMessage.

MECHDMG.CPP is BORN against the AUTHENTIC surviving CODE/BT/BT/MECHDMG.HPP:
the Mech ctor's Pass-3 hull zone fill constructs Mech__DamageZone per zone
(the Entity base only allocates the raw pointer array -- unfilled slots were
crash #1; a base-class fill parses each record short and skews the stream --
crash #2). Streamed ctor parses the full BT tail (flags / Scalar-weighted
criticals with the Master+Dynamic plug gate / LOD redirect table) and
normalizes the armor economy: scale[type]=1/(raw x armorPoints), legs
halved -- BT411-verified @0049ce50.

Live two-mech verification (BT_SPAWN_ENEMY harness in DropZoneReply):
20 named hull zones stream on both mechs; PPC lands 11.77/hit (12 x
chargeRatio^2, type 4), ER-M laser 3.43 (type 3), SRM6 salvos 5.83 x 6
rounds on independent zones (type 2, one message per missile -- burstCount
is NOT in the zone formula); repeat hits climb linearly, leg zones absorb
at half scale, zones reach 1.0 Burning/Destroyed. No-target and novice
regressions hold (weapons load but never fire without a target).

CydandClaude Fable 5 b772e716fe BT410 Phase 5.3.15: the electrical charge model -- real charge, closed feedback loop
The emitter charge cycle is now the authentic electrical model end to end.

- WIRE-VERIFIED resource fix: the Emitter block is graphicLength /
  dischargeTime / seekVoltage[5] (FRACTIONS of the generator's rated voltage,
  -1 sentinel) / seekVoltageRecommendedIndex. The old two-field guess read
  seekVoltage[3]=0.99 as "dischargeTime 0.99s" -- the true PPC discharge is
  0.2s, and the calibration reads seekV={6000,7000,8000,9900} x rated 10000,
  recommended gear 2: the documented curve exactly.
- Ctor calibration (@004bb120): energyTotal=(dmg+heat)x1e7; EC pins
  E=0.5V^2EC to energyTotal at the recommended gear; voltageScale calibrates
  the exponential charge to reach seekV[rec] in the authored RechargeRate
  seconds cold; damageFraction = the damage share.
- TrackSeekVoltage (@004ba838) + ChargeTimeScale (@004b0d50): the charge
  integrates from the generator through the heat-stretched time scale, and
  the I2R loss heats the GENERATOR -- verified GeneratorA at 477.9K charging
  its PPC (BT411 predicted ~+480K) while the avionics generator idles at 77.
  Hot generators charge slower: the heat/firepower feedback loop is CLOSED.
- Emitter::ComputeOutputVoltage override (now virtual, as in the binary
  vtable): dial = level/seekV[gear], 0.01 snap, over-1 clamp.
- Sub-stepped Loading (1/60s slices -- the BT411 weapon-brick fix) + the
  documented-divergence overcharge rescue. VERIFIED: the PPC loads at level
  ~7920, inside the binary's exact [7920,8080] snap window.
- FireWeapon energy algebra (@004bace8): damage/heat = energy shares x
  chargeRatio^2. VERIFIED dmg=11.78 / heat=1.079e8 at ratio 0.9906. The
  heatCost x 1e7 partial is retired -- heat now comes from the energy.

Zero Fail; jams/shutdowns regressions stay live under spam.

CydandClaude Fable 5 57507cb15c BT410 Phase 5.3.10: power/heat wave -- the thermal + electrical economy is LIVE
Weapons dump firing heat into their own sinks, sinks conduct through the
Condenser bank into the central HeatSink, temperatures drive the degradation/
failure alarms, and every powered subsystem tracks its generator through the
electrical state machine. Verified: the authentic fire-discipline game -- a PPC
spikes 77->709K per shot, relaxes to 441K across its 5s reload, and sustained
fire climbs 441->674->838->960K, brushing the authored 1000K degradation
threshold. All calibration values match the BT411 audit exactly (central bank
1.39e6, PPC sink 174000, thresholds 77/1000/2000).

- HEAT: HeatSinkSimulation (@004ad924 absorb->T->load->conduct->alarm),
  ConductHeat/ComputeHeatFlow (@004ad8ac/@004ad9ec two-body equilibrium
  relaxation; flow==0 exactly at uniform T), UpdateHeatLoad (15-sample filter);
  heat-state enum + accessors; installed by the HeatSink ctor.
- WIRE-VERIFIED: HeatSink resource gains linkedSinkIndex -- THE missing
  ancestry int that shifted every descendant block +1 (voltageSourceIndex had
  been reading the linked-sink index: "power sources" appeared to be
  Condensers). Conduction topology wired from it at construction:
  weapons->Condensers1-6->central; Generators->Condensers; Reservoir->central.
- MECHWEAP resource: authentic pip tail (pipPosition int + pipColor 3 floats +
  pipExtendedRange int) per the BT411 verified overlay; with linkedSinkIndex
  this closes the whole +3 alignment mystery (ProjectileWeapon pad deleted).
  True bhk1 reads: PPC recharge 5.0s (not 1.0), discharge 0.99s, range 900.
- POWERSUB: ctor resolves voltageSourceIndex -> GeneratorA-D (wire-verified),
  taps via Generator::TapVoltageSource (-1 when full); PoweredSubsystemSimulation
  (@004b0bd0) electrical FSM (Starting/NoVoltage/Shorted/GeneratorOff/Ready);
  GeneratorSimulation partial (start/short-recovery timers).
- Weapons: power step at sim head; Loading recharge gated on electrical Ready
  (authentic @4bbdf5); FireWeapon dumps firing heat. HEAT UNITS: the chain is
  1e7-native with TWO authoring conventions -- energy weapons store small
  (PPC=11, x1e7 from the energy algebra), ballistics store native (SRM6=5.06e7,
  dumped raw; double-scaling it was the bring-up runaway-temperature bug).
- SENSOR: authentic gating (@004b1c4c) -- power step, electrical-Ready gate,
  heat-state switch (Degradation x0.5 / Failure 0). Verified Ready + 100%.

Deferred: coolant depletion/venting, the novice HeatModelOff gate, the charge
model (TrackSeekVoltage/voltage sag/I2R), weapon gate 1 + jam roll, the central
sink's forward-linked drain. Zero Fail across fire + neutral runs.

CydandClaude Fable 5 ab7191dc38 BT410 Phase 5.3.9: ballistic fire path -- SRM launchers fire salvos + run dry
The SRM6 MissileLaunchers now run the authentic ballistic fire cycle against
their linked AmmoBins, wire-verified end to end.

- PROJWEAP ProjectileWeaponSimulation (PARTIAL, binary @004bbd04 -- fully
  recovered in the BT411 RE): one trigger-edge sample; the dry-bin gate pins
  NoAmmo(7) every frame; Loaded(2) -- the AMMO PULL LIVES IN THE CALLER (a
  denied shot does the 4->2 denial blip with NO ammo pulled -- early-returning
  gates from FireWeapon while the caller cycles the alarm is the 1995 "denied
  shot fakes a full firing cycle" defect class); granted -> Firing ->
  FireWeapon -> Loading (or NoAmmo on the emptying pull), recoil=rechargeRate;
  Loading bleeds recoil -> Loaded when a round is chambered, dial animates;
  Jammed(5) held; NoAmmo(7) = the roach-motel (re-asserts unconditionally).
  Deferred: electrical step, gate 1, eject, jam roll, HasActiveTarget.
- AMMOBIN: FeedAmmo() + GetAmmoState() (1 round-ready / 2 EMPTY).
- ammoBinLink wired from the resource's ammoBinIndex (the bin's roster slot).
- WIRE-VERIFIED RESOURCE ALIGNMENT: a raw-stream dump pinned the
  ProjectileWeapon field block +3 ints past our staged struct (the MechWeapon
  resource ancestry runs 3 ints short -- the pip-family fields). Fixed with
  resourceAlignPad[3]; phantom muzzleVelocity/missileCount tail dropped.
  Confirmed on-wire: ammoBinIndex=27/29 (the exact bin slots), tracerInterval=1,
  minTOF=0.5, minVolt%=0.3, minJam=0.05, missileCount=6 (an SRM6!).
- MECHWEAP: weapon-state enum extended to the full 1995 set (DryTrigger 1,
  Jammed 5, TriggerDuringJam 6, NoAmmo 7; count 8).
- MISLANCH FireWeapon PARTIAL (@004bcc60: heat + salvo spawn only -- spawn
  needs the entity/targeting waves).

VERIFIED headlessly (BT_FORCE_FIRE): bins resolve with the authored 24 rounds;
SRM6s fire 6-missile salvos at the authored 1s cadence, rounds 24->0; after
the 24th salvo the launcher goes DRY and stays silent across ~3,000 subsequent
fire events while the energy weapons keep cycling. Zero Fail.

CydandClaude Fable 5 896bbbed4d BT410 Phase 5.3.8: weapon fire path -- authentic attribute table + fire state machine
The energy weapons now run a live fire cycle, and the REAL trigger wiring is in
place: the 1995 MechWeapon attribute table (binary @0x511890) is published with
PINNED IDs, so the streamed per-mech fire-button mappings bind TriggerState
(0x13) -> fireImpulse and the controls push writes the trigger into the weapon.

- MECHWEAP: attribute enum + table (PercentDone 0x12, TriggerState 0x13,
  DistanceToTarget 0x14, TargetWithinRange 0x15, WeaponRange 0x16,
  EstimatedReadyTime 0x1A, RearFiring 0x1B, WeaponState 0x1C). Pads bridge the
  chain gap 2..0x11 -- LOAD-BEARING: AttributeIndexSet::Build leaves uncovered
  gap slots as uninitialized garbage, so every ID up to the max must be covered
  (they shrink to the authentic 0x0F..0x11 when the parent attribute waves land;
  SENSOR.HPP pins PoweredSubsystem::NextAttributeID at 0x0F).
- MECHWEAP: fire-machine members (fireImpulse/previousFireImpulse,
  rechargeLevel, rangeToTarget, effectiveRange, estimatedReadyTime, recoil,
  weaponAlarm 0/2/3/4); CheckFireEdge (@004b9608, BIT-PATTERN int compare --
  TriggerState carries raw ControlsButton ints whose release value is a float
  NaN; IEEE compare would latch the detector shut); ComputeOutputVoltage
  (@004b9c9c recharge dial).
- EMITTER: EmitterSimulation (PARTIAL @004baa88) -- Firing/Loaded/Loading FSM
  on the weapon alarm, viewFireEnable gate at Loaded->Firing, recoil-decay
  recharge over the authored RechargeRate seconds; FireWeapon (PARTIAL
  @004bace8) discharge bookkeeping; ChargeLevel re-pinned to the authentic
  0x1D; index re-chained to MechWeapon's. Deferred: electrical charge model
  (TrackSeekVoltage), heat dump, HasActiveTarget gate, beam/damage submission.
- BT_FORCE_FIRE dev hook: trigger pulse whenever Loaded (auto-fire cadence).

VERIFIED headlessly: forward view -- PPC_1/2 + ERMLaser_1 cycle FIRED->LOADED
at the authored 0.6s/1s cadence, rear lasers silent; BT_FORCE_LOOK=3 -- ONLY
the rear lasers (ERMLaser_2/3) fire. The view-fire x fire-FSM interlock holds
both directions. Zero Fail. (SRM6 ballistic FSM = a later increment.)

CydandClaude Fable 5 d422dfffc0 BT410 Phase 5.3.7: weapon view-fire gating + build header-stamp hardening
Completes the weapon-side half of the look commit:

- MECHWEAP: real rearFiring/viewFireEnable members (binary @0x334/@0x3E0) +
  accessors. Ctor resolves REAR-FIRING authentically (@004b99a8 tail): the
  mount SEGMENT site name is tested for the 'b' (back) marker -- only the back
  gun ports (sitelbgunport/siterbgunport) carry it. Spawn = forward-armed.
- MECH CommitLookState: re-arms every roster weapon per view (forward =
  non-rear, LOOK-BACK = rear-mounted, side/down = none) and flips the HUD
  reticle pip group with the authentic Reticle::Front/RearFiringWeaponsOn flags
  (BT411's raw "bits 1/2" resolved to their 1995 names).
- MECHWEAP: defined MechWeapon::MessageHandlers (0-entry set inheriting the
  Subsystem chain) -- it was declared-but-undefined, and the surviving CODE
  PPC.CPP binds the inherited name into PPC::DefaultData; the zero-filled
  common block was a latent NULL deref (same trap as Emitter::AttributeIndex).

Discovery: the TEST.EGG mech genuinely mounts TWO REAR LASERS (ERMLaser_2/3 on
the b-ports). Verified on a full-clean baseline (engine 181 + bt 42, 0 fail):
look-behind arms exactly the rear lasers, disarms the other five,
pipMask=0xfffffffe; neutral run holds forward-armed; zero Fail.

build410.sh HARDENED against the stale-obj layout-skew trap this wave exposed:
cc() skipped recompiles on obj-vs-.cpp timestamps only, so the MECHWEAP.HPP
member additions left emitter.obj on the OLD MechWeapon layout -- its
chargeLevel=0.0f write landed exactly on the new rearFiring (a silent cross-TU
struct skew, heisenbug-grade). cc() now honors header stamps: a source410
engine-header edit invalidates every bucket, a BT/BT_L4 header edit
additionally invalidates the game buckets. CODE/ is immutable, no stamp needed.

CydandClaude Fable 5 d9b34ddc63 source410: THE WHOLE 4.10 TREE COMPILES - 11/11 under the fleet's BC++ 4.52
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.
