The definition describes the burner (AB_ConsumeShield_Begin 50, AB_ConsumeShield 10,
AB_AV_* turn caps well below normal) but names no input, and carries no AB velocity
field.
Three probes, all negative for A, B, X, LB (plus LS/RS on the first):
- ab_probe.py: hold RT for a max-speed baseline, then each candidate — speed stayed
inside the baseline's own noise band every time.
- ab_state_probe.py: sample a window of the player object during each hold and
report any float that falls — nothing fell.
- HUD oracle needing no offsets: count green pixels of the SHIELD bar on a freshly
spawned craft. AB_ConsumeShield_Begin 50 should take a visible bite; the bar read
156/156/156/157/157 across baseline and all four buttons.
So the burner needs a chord, an input this pad cannot reach, or belongs to another
craft/the AI. Recorded so the obvious buttons are not re-probed.
