Reconstructs the binary's five-state LOOK machine (controls mapper tail,
part_013.c:396-459) as proper members/methods:
- MECHMPPR: LookState enum (None/Left/Right/Behind/Down) + lookState/
previousLookState (out of reserved[24] -> [22]). InterpretControls picks the
state from the look buttons each frame and on a CHANGE calls
Mech::CommitLookState. BT_FORCE_LOOK=<1..4> dev hook.
- MECH: authored look angles lookLeft/Right/Front/BackAngle (deg->rad from the
GameModel resource, guarded) + lookPitch/lookYaw + CommitLookState(int):
side looks yaw by the authored angle, look-behind = yaw pi + lookBackAngle
pitch, look-down = lookFrontAngle pitch, forward = identity. The per-frame
eyepoint compose in Simulate adds the live Torso elevation on top.
(reservedState [208] -> [202].)
- Deferred inside the commit (needs MechWeapon viewFireEnable/rearFiring):
per-view weapon fire re-arm + HUD pip group-mask flip.
Verified headlessly: model reads clean authored angles (L=60 R=-60 F=-10 B=0
deg -- ModelResource layout confirmed again); BT_FORCE_LOOK=3 fires ONE commit
([look] state=3 yaw=3.14159 pitch=0) and the per-frame compose holds eyeYaw=pi
with eyePitch=0.349066 (lookBackAngle + the 20deg-clamped elevation). Zero Fail.

Reconstructed the MechControlsMapper attribute table (StickPosition..PilotArray,
IDs 3-0x16 chained from Subsystem::NextAttributeID==2) + the real members
(stickPosition ControlsJoystick, throttle/pedals/speed/turn Scalars, the look/
torso ControlsButtons, control/display/pilotArray ints) + AttributePointers[] +
AttributeIndex (chains Subsystem::AttributeIndex). Fixed the mapper hierarchy
statics in BTL4MPPR.CPP: L4/RIO/Thrustmaster ClassDerivations now chain correctly
(L4 defined first for static-init order) and all use MechControlsMapper::
AttributeIndex so the mapper instance publishes the control attributes the
streamed mappings bind to.
Mech still constructs (33 subsystems). The post-construction crash is UNCHANGED
(GetAttributePointer, attribute=0x13) -> so it's NOT the mapper; a streamed
AttributeWatcher (numeric ID 19) resolves on another object via GetSimulation.
Next diagnostic: which object/subsystemID the watcher targets. BT: 42 ok.

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.
