Bring the pod's 128x32 plasma readout in-fork, completing the self-contained
glass cockpit -- no vPLASMA process, no pipe.
- serialplasma.{cpp,h}: CSerialPlasma, a serial<n>=plasma backend that parses
the game's ESC P graphics stream (L4PLASMA streams whole changed rows;
receive-only, no replies) into a 128x32 1bpp framebuffer. Transcribed from
vPLASMA's PlasmaProtocol + VPlasmaDevice (graphics path); the factory
text-mode/fonts aren't used by the game and aren't rendered, but their escape
operands are still consumed so the parser can't desync. Seam PLASMA_GetFrame()
for the renderer.
- vpxlog.cpp: draw the framebuffer as an amber-on-black window in the explode
layout, lazily created once a plasma port exists, parked centered under the
lower-left MFD (VPX_PLASMA="x,y,w,h" overrides); WS_EX_NOACTIVATE so it can't
steal DOSBox focus.
- Register SERIAL_TYPE_PLASMA (serialport.h/.cpp, dosbox.cpp -- documented in
the vpx-device README step 3d, since those stock files live in the git-ignored
src tree).
- Confs: serial2 in the _rio confs + deploy templates switches from
namedpipe pipe:vplasma to the in-fork plasma.
Live-validated 2026-07-24. Real pods keep directserial realport:COM2; the
standalone vPLASMA app keeps namedpipe pipe:vplasma.
