CydandClaude Fable 5 6853b123ed Confs: default L4TIMER to FAST (setenv arg2 s->f, all 14 launch confs)
L4TIMER selects the game clock (L4TIME.CPP): FAST = HMI SOS interrupt
clock at 28 Hz, unset = polled 18.2 Hz BIOS tick. Not a speed switch --
finer time quantum, smoother sim dt and timing cadences.

Per the operator: the flag tracked the deployed fleet's hardware --
original Tesla pods ran Pentium Pro 90s (SLOW), later fleets Pentium
Pro 200s (FAST). The emulated pod has no ISR-headroom constraint, so
FAST is our default from here on.

# The RIO drops comms if an ACK is late by more than a few ms. Empirically
# (2026-07-03) a SLOWER CPU makes it fail SOONER -> the ACK latency is
# dominated by how fast the game processes the RIO packet and replies, so we
# run the CPU as fast as possible:
# - core=dynamic: recompiler, many x faster than the 'normal' interpreter.
# - cycles=max: full host speed.

# Custom fork options for the RIO's few-ms ACK deadline:
# rxpollus:100 -- host-port receive poll tick in microseconds (stock=1000);
# discovers inbound bytes ~10x sooner.
# rxburst:16 -- deliver host-buffered bytes 16x faster than emulated wire
# speed. Stock DOSBox re-serializes each received byte at
# ~1ms (9600 baud) even though the bytes already paid wire
# time on the physical cable -- a 15-byte analog reply got
# +14ms of artificial latency, blowing the RIO's window and
# dropping the game into its 15-second retry fallback
# ("really slow polling").
