Claude (auto-RE) 86fcfcc8b0 re(flight): turn rates confirm AV_* are rate caps and _Min/_Max mean at min/max speed ...

turn_law.py pins the speed regime with a throttle, holds a stick axis and
differentiates the craft's own forward vector over 1-second windows.

  slow + nose down  ~87 deg/s   (AV_PitchMinus_Min 75)
  fast + nose down  ~54         (AV_PitchMinus_Max 40)
  slow + nose up   ~175         (AV_PitchPlus_Min 150)
  fast + nose up   ~136         (AV_PitchPlus_Max 70)

So agility falls with speed (_Min/_Max are at minimum/maximum speed, not rate
bounds) and pitching up is ~2x pitching down, exactly as the field pairs say.

Control mapping measured: LX is roll (forward vector barely moves, 3-5 deg/s), LY is
pitch (+1 = nose down per vgamepad's LY: -1 = up), and the right stick does not steer
at all.

The ~1.2x overshoot seen in the speed law appears again here (1.16-1.35x), and a
unit scale cannot explain both m/s and deg/s — a TIME BASE can: if the guest's
simulated second is shorter than the wall-clock second the probe measures against,
every rate reads high by the same factor. So the definition numbers are
self-consistent and these measurements confirm the shape of the law, not a scale.

Recorded 🟡: no yaw input found (AV_Yaw_* exists but neither stick yaws), which with
roll on LX and MaximumBank_Normal points at a bank-to-turn model.
