CydandClaude Fable 5 ebf0d8c23f BT410 Phase 5.3.2: DRIVABLE mech -- authentic control interpretation + locomotion
The mech now drives from the authentic control chain (faithful route). Verified
headlessly: full throttle -> walks straight at top speed (30 u/s) along heading;
throttle+turn -> walks a circle (radius = speed/turnRate); neutral -> holds pose;
zero Fail.

MechControlsMapper::InterpretControls (mechmppr.cpp @004afd10) -- installed as the
mapper's per-frame Performance (roster slot 0, ticks before the mech):
- speedDemand = topSpeed*throttle*fwdScale (reverse inverts); soft stick (square)
  / pedal (cube) response; Basic=stick turn, Std/Vet=pedal turn; speed clamped
  while turning hard. Reads owner stride via Mech accessors.
- BT_FORCE_THROTTLE/BT_FORCE_TURN dev hooks for headless verification.

Mech::Simulate drive -- consumes the mapper demands:
- accelerate currentBodySpeed toward speedDemand (maxBodyAcceleration);
- authTurnRate = lerp(walkingTurnRate, runningTurnRate) by ground speed + over-run
  falloff (mech4.cpp master-perf @0x4aa3d3);
- integrate heading via Quaternion::Add(prevPose, (0,turn*rate*dt,0));
- facing = world -Z basis (GetFromAxis(Z_Axis)); worldLinearVelocity = facing*spd;
- integrate position (increment-1 core).

MECH.HPP: 9 named locomotion members out of reservedState (now [211]) --
walking/runningTurnRate, reverse/walkStrideLength, reverseSpeedMax,
forwardThrottleScale, maxBodyAcceleration, body/currentBodySpeed. BRING-UP
DEFAULTS (authentic values come from the model resource + LoadLocomotionClips --
next refinement).

Deferred: gait-clip-exact advance + leg anim (needs animation subsystem/renderer),
model-resource sourcing, terrain drop, torso/free-look aim, telemetry filters.

// InterpretControls -- the mapper's per-frame Performance. Reads the raw input
// attributes (the engine controls push refreshes throttle/stick/pedals/buttons
// from the RIO/keyboard before this runs) and publishes the locomotion demands
// (speedDemand in world-u/s, turnDemand [-1..1]) the mech drive consumes.
//
// Reconstructs the authentic demand math (mechmppr.cpp @004afd10):
// * throttle -> forward speed: speedDemand = topSpeed * throttle * fwdScale
// (reverse thrust inverts and drops the forward scale);
// * soft stick response: square the yaw (sign preserved), cube the pedals;
// * Basic: stick yaw = turn; Standard/Veteran: pedals = turn;
// * speed is clamped down while turning hard (max_turn ramp).
//
// DEV hook (headless verification, no RIO/keyboard): BT_FORCE_THROTTLE /
// BT_FORCE_TURN override the pushed raw inputs so the demand math + mech drive
// are exercisable without hardware. The torso-aim / free-look interpretation
// (torso analog axes, look/eyepoint commit) is the aiming wave, deferred.
