CydandClaude Opus 4.8 844c11f792 emulator: in-fork plasma display (serial2=plasma) window in the explode layout
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.

# IN-FORK vRIO variant of net_loop_pipe.conf: the RIO cockpit board is emulated
# natively inside DOSBox-X (serial1=rio) and driven by an SDL game controller --
# no external vRIO process and no named pipe. Self-contained flyable cockpit.
# Everything else is identical to net_loop_pipe.conf (see it for the network /
# GO.BAT-loop rationale). The plasma readout stays on the vPLASMA pipe (optional;
# an unconnected pipe is just discarded). Real pods keep net_loop.conf
# (directserial realport:COM1); this file is dev / standalone only.
