claude-re ab8f5307ff docs/re: in-flight control mapping, and why lethality is an aim-dwell problem ...

Probed rather than assumed: hold each pad input and photograph the HUD ammo
counters. RB = nose gun (NOSE BM 6000->5956 in 4 s, ~11 rounds/s, HEAT rises),
Y = main mount (MAIN MPM 300->299), d-pad = tactical map overlay, and
LB/X/B/A/LS/RS move neither counter.

No target-cycle input exists. The green TARGET marker is already up with nothing
pressed, so the game selects for us and a guided missile's lock is a
time-on-target mechanic, not a button. That closes the lethality question: it is
not target choice (escort weighting), not ballistics (now from the confirmed
Shell records), and not the mapping — the steering loop simply never holds the
nose on one contact long enough to lock. Aim dwell is the next lever.

Also records two things the reimplementation needs: two weapons with separate
ammo pools and HUD counters, and a HEAT bar that fills while the gun fires
(cap and cool-down not yet measured).
