The VersionReply builder at $C6EA hardcoded 4.2; --reportversion=4.3
patches the minor operand byte ($C6FF: 02->03). Verified no host
software gates on the value (legacy prints it, RIOJoy parses it, native
games ignore it — Cyd). Rebuilt RIOv4_3.bin: 69 bytes vs stock, sha
6d67a2fc7713...; docs updated. Chips burned before this edit still
announce 4.2 — re-burn to pick up the number; all other bytes match
the certified image.

Final gate passed: 120s mash at 549 presses/min sustained (heaviest
stress run of the campaign) — zero wedges, counters flat, NAK 0, all
247 resends healed. RIOv4_3rc1 renamed to RIOv4_3.bin (same bytes,
sha dc59bd51cae3...); README/ANALYSIS promote it, production table
updated (native-game cabinets -> RIOv4_3.bin; FastRIO 4.3 variant is
build-on-demand with the documented flag set + acceptance ladder).
