Ships the hard-won laws too — right-stick auto-look, the two look lanes (mouse math vs camera spec), the positive-down stick-Y trap, the gamepad:null unbind trap, and the menu-order invariant. Already have pad bindings? The mapper stands down and never fights your layout.
Look speed, done properly — and the stick-Y trap closed. - NEW look-speed bridge: set player state.padSpeed (0.2-3, 1 = your game's own feel) and badger-con turns it into stick sensitivity for you.
Right-stick look is a renderer-side channel reading spec camera.sensitivity, so a stick slider is a spec write — the mod owns it, debounced (one durable write per settle, not per tick). - Silent by default: nothing is written until that player has actually used a pad, and the game's existing camera.sensitivity is captured ONCE as padLookBase first, so padSpeed 1 is bit-identical to the feel you already tuned. Installing into a keyboard-only game touches nothing. - NEW lib/look.js: mouseMul(state) / padMul(state), clamped 0.2-3, plus LOOK_RANGE for slider UI. The mouse lane is your camera behavior's own math — one line: sens = base * look.mouseMul(target.state). - Auto-mapper no longer binds leftStickY onto a keyboard move axis. The engine builds gamepad axes as { deadzone, scale: 1 } and never reads an author invert, so stick Y (positive-DOWN) on an "s/w" pair walks the player backwards with no fix at the binding. The mapper now leaves forward/back unbound and logs the one-line fold instead: axes.moveZ - axes['badger-con:senseStickY'] — no new axis needed, the sense axis is already on that stick. - Skill: LAW 1b (look speed lives in two lanes — which knob goes where, base capture, debounce, shared-spec last-writer-wins) and LAW 1c (positive-down stick Y). Gotchas ledger gains the two-bridges-fight warning and the padLookBase-is-sacred rule. - /padcheck: two new verdict steps — a look-speed audit (spec sensitivity vs padLookBase x padSpeed per player, plus a grep for a second patchCamera bridge in the host) and a stick-Y trap scan.
Auto-map: on first spawn in a game with no existing gamepad bindings, the sensor maps the pad itself — keyboard move-pair axes get the left stick, common actions get buttons by convention (space→A, mouse left→RT, mouse right→LT, E/F→X, shift→RB, Q/R→Y, escape→Start, 1-4→d-pad). One patch, one log line, right stick never touched. Games with authored pad bindings are left alone — the mapper stands down entirely. Docs updated: auto-map section + stand-down gotcha in the skill, auto-map verdict step in /padcheck, and corrected require paths for host-game consumers of lib/pad-nav.js (mods/badger-con/lib/pad-nav.js from outside the mod).
