The heat economy now bites back, verified under sustained fire:
- Ballistic gate 1 (@4bbd36): destroyed-state or own-sink FailureHeat pins
full recoil + the unavailable alarm (the NoAmmo roach-motel re-asserts).
- CheckForJam (@4bbfcc): p = 0.41*T/failT clamped [minJamChance, 1.0], rolled
per granted shot against the MUNGA uniform Random. Interim heat-degraded
gate stands in for the deferred LiveFireEnabled novice switch (the exact
spurious-cold-jam trap the BT411 port documented). VERIFIED: SRM6s jam at
T~1200-1320 after riding past the authored 1000-degree threshold, and stay
jammed (mission-reset recovery only) -- authentic.
- Emitter hard gate (@4baab9): FailureHeat drops the beam state + charge each
frame; SELF-RECOVERING once conduction cools the sink below failure.
VERIFIED: the PPC settles into an emergent thermal duty cycle -- fire at
~1930K, spike to 2562K, shutdown, cool, refire -- firing exactly as fast as
its sink sheds heat; the lasers oscillate around ~2200K.
Zero Fail. Deferred: LiveFireEnabled/HeatModelOff experience gates,
mech-disabled gate halves, coolant depletion, jam recovery via mission reset.

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.

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.

ProjectileWeapon (: MechWeapon) -- ballistic (ammo-fed) base: ammo-bin link,
tracer/eject/jam/lead members. MissileLauncher (: ProjectileWeapon) -- salvo
launcher, using the surviving CODE MISLANCH.HPP (missileCount + per-salvo damage
split). AmmoBin (: HeatWatcher) -- ammo store with cook-off heat. All ctors chain
their parents + init from resource; fire paths staged.
Weapon family now COMPLETE: MechWeapon -> {Emitter -> PPC, GaussRifle;
ProjectileWeapon -> MissileLauncher} + AmmoBin. The surviving PPC.CPP/GAUSS.CPP
link against the reconstructed Emitter base. BT: 36 ok.
