Completes the weapon-side half of the look commit:
- MECHWEAP: real rearFiring/viewFireEnable members (binary @0x334/@0x3E0) +
accessors. Ctor resolves REAR-FIRING authentically (@004b99a8 tail): the
mount SEGMENT site name is tested for the 'b' (back) marker -- only the back
gun ports (sitelbgunport/siterbgunport) carry it. Spawn = forward-armed.
- MECH CommitLookState: re-arms every roster weapon per view (forward =
non-rear, LOOK-BACK = rear-mounted, side/down = none) and flips the HUD
reticle pip group with the authentic Reticle::Front/RearFiringWeaponsOn flags
(BT411's raw "bits 1/2" resolved to their 1995 names).
- MECHWEAP: defined MechWeapon::MessageHandlers (0-entry set inheriting the
Subsystem chain) -- it was declared-but-undefined, and the surviving CODE
PPC.CPP binds the inherited name into PPC::DefaultData; the zero-filled
common block was a latent NULL deref (same trap as Emitter::AttributeIndex).
Discovery: the TEST.EGG mech genuinely mounts TWO REAR LASERS (ERMLaser_2/3 on
the b-ports). Verified on a full-clean baseline (engine 181 + bt 42, 0 fail):
look-behind arms exactly the rear lasers, disarms the other five,
pipMask=0xfffffffe; neutral run holds forward-armed; zero Fail.
build410.sh HARDENED against the stale-obj layout-skew trap this wave exposed:
cc() skipped recompiles on obj-vs-.cpp timestamps only, so the MECHWEAP.HPP
member additions left emitter.obj on the OLD MechWeapon layout -- its
chargeLevel=0.0f write landed exactly on the new rearFiring (a silent cross-TU
struct skew, heisenbug-grade). cc() now honors header stamps: a source410
engine-header edit invalidates every bucket, a BT/BT_L4 header edit
additionally invalidates the game buckets. CODE/ is immutable, no stamp needed.
