CydandClaude Fable 5 505dae450b BT410 5.3.135: the HUD page was never on -- two watcher fixes later, the cockpit has a page again
Chasing what 5.3.132 and 5.3.133 actually turned on found a visible
consequence nobody was looking for.

HeatWatcher::WatchSimulation mirrors the watched subsystem's temperature
into the watcher's own heat alarm.  With every link NULL that mirror was
dead -- the gyro never felt a hot avionics bus, the torso never felt hot
myomers, no ammo bin ever felt its own gun's heat.  It is now live for
all seven watchers.

And the HUD gates its page visibility on the watchdog reading Ready.
Unbound, the watchdog read 0, so the page was hidden.  Bound but with
the percent bug, it read 1, so the page was still hidden.  It took both
fixes to reach 4, and the page now draws:

  [hud] page_visible=1 watchdog=4 heat=0

Flagged in the notes for the next cockpit A/B session: the gauge-ab rig
last scored 98.9% identical against the shipped binary with this page
missing on our side.  If the shipped exe draws it, part of that residual
should close on its own -- so the comparison wants re-running rather
than trusting the old number.

# The emulator log shows a steady stream of serial1 RX OVERRUN errors on
# the RIO pipe, and controls post their events at HighEventPriority
# UNCONDITIONALLY (CONTROLS.HPP:250) -- so a chattering RIO port would
# flood a priority the background pump always serves first, starving the
# priority-0 renderer events the load gate waits on. This conf tests that
# by removing the port entirely. Everything else is identical to the rec
# conf, so a launch here and a hang there isolates the RIO.
