CydandClaude Fable 5 10e1a70055 BT410 Phase 5.3.30: the pilot name resolves -- and the magenta boxes diagnosed 
The name art was never missing.  The egg carries it as notation pages of hex
rows ([BitMap::Small::Aeolus]); the engine BitMap has a ctor that reads
exactly that format; and the AUTHENTIC Mission ctor already loads them into
smallNameBitmapChain (MISSION.CPP:525 -- implemented, called, working).  The
break was ours: btl4gau3's LookupPlayerNameBitmap was a bring-up stub
returning NULL.  It now uses the authentic API (GetCurrentMission()->
GetSmallNameBitmap(playerBitmapIndex)) and resolves live -- traced index=1
to a real BitMap, with the fallback-box branch provably never firing.
Coverage 91% -> 92%.

DIAGNOSIS CORRECTED for the stray magenta blocks over the top-left title:
they are NOT a missing-name placeholder.  They are the REAL name bitmap
drawn at the wrong slot coordinates -- PilotList lays its 8 roster slots
out from the PE-recovered DAT_0051af88 (x,y,mode) table, and ours puts them
top-left instead of the shipped exe's centre row.  Recovering that table is
the next cockpit thread; the egg-hex -> live-BitMap pipeline is verified end
to end, so what remains there is layout, not art or lookup.

(A duplicate loader written before finding the authentic one was removed --
CODE/RP/MUNGA/MISSION.CPP already does this job.)

Gauge fight 11/11, smoke and novice clean, zero faults.

CydandClaude Fable 5 0906d1efa6 4.10 reconstruction: real l4net standalone path + full BTL4Mission::SetPlayerData 
Boot ladder progress (each step verified live under DOSBox-X + 32RTM):

- L4NET.CPP v2: real statics (ClassDerivations/MessageHandlers/DefaultData),
  real single-user ctor (egg NotationFile -> last.egg -> local ReceiveEggFile
  post), real StartConnecting/Shutdown/CreateConsoleHost single-user branches,
  all four message handlers (egg assembly, ack, host connect/disconnect),
  1995 netnub-guard idiom (Net_Common_Ptr NULL => benign return) throughout;
  netnub wire primitives remain Fail-staged.  Sources: BT411 engine/MUNGA_L4/
  L4NET.cpp (preserves the 1995 netnub code as comments beside its Winsock
  port) cross-checked against the surviving 1995 L4NET.HPP.
- BTL4MSSN.CPP: full SetPlayerData reconstruction (vehicle/dropzone/color/
  patch/badge/team/experience/advancedDamage/role + score modifiers + plasma
  badge blit), backdated from BT411's Ghidra-recovered body (@004d2c30);
  every API pinned to the surviving 1995 headers (NOTATION/MISSION/SCNROLE/
  L4GREND/BTMSSN).

Boot now runs: banner -> resource load -> app ctor chain -> network manager
single-user init -> egg dispatch -> mission creation -> SetPlayerData (parses
the real TEST.EGG) -> halts at BTPlayer ctor (next staged brick).

CydandClaude Fable 5 5b35eb973c 4.10 reconstruction: BTL4OPT.EXE links clean and BOOTS to the first staged brick 
The reconstructed tree now produces a runnable binary with the authentic
1995 toolchain (BC4.52 / tlink32 / DPMI32):

- BTL4.CPP main TU reconstructed from the 4.11 Ghidra decomp (FUN_0040109c)
  + the 4.10 binary's own string pool + surviving RPL4TOOL.CPP house style;
  probe_main.cpp scaffold retired (BTL4.NOTES.md documents every decoded call)
- L4NET.CPP staged: L4NetworkManager ctor/dtor + 10 vtable-pulled virtuals
  (standalone-benign ones no-op, network ones Fail loudly) + NetNub client
  globals (Net_Common_Ptr=NULL routes L4File to its plain-DOS path)
- build410.sh: libs now built in the AUTHENTIC makefile member order
  (MUNGA.MAK / mungal4.mak / BT.MAK / BTL4.MAK). Order is load-bearing:
  tlink emits static-init records in module pull order, and alphabetical
  order booted into a null-vptr crash (IcomManager::ClassDerivations
  constructing before parent NetworkClient::ClassDerivations). Also fixed
  stage_link to the proven 32-bit lib set (SOSDBXC+SOSMBXC, no WATTCPLG)
- BOXTREE.HPP MemoryBlock unify, BTL4GRND notify stubs, remaining engine
  backfills (audio/gauge/resource/stream TUs) that closed the deep ledger

Smoke test (DOSBox-X + 32RTM, copy of the pod BT tree, our exe swapped in):
  BattleTech v4.10
  BTL4Application::BTL4Application
  l4net.cpp(22): L4NetworkManager -- l4net.cpp not yet reconstructed
Static init, main, -egg parse, BTL4.RES load (version 1.0.6 check passes),
ApplicationManager and the BTL4Application ctor chain all execute real
reconstructed code; boot halts at the first staged Fail() as designed.
Next brick: the real l4net.cpp body.
