InputMapper polled the D-054 move_* actions (and queued discrete
gameplay actions) unconditionally — WASD with a fullscreen implant
open walked the character blind. Poll-site gate (both _process and
_unhandled_input, the file's existing dialogue/free-camera early-return
idiom): nothing is enqueued while occluded, so no backlog can flush on
close.
Gate signal is HudGroups.gameplay_occluded, deliberately NOT
is_implant_active(): that flag is also true for INSERT mode (economics
monitor panel), where gameplay stays visible and playable by design —
the naive gate would have broken WASD there. Local _gameplay_occluded
mirror via the existing signal; regression tests pin the INSERT
distinction.
Held-state semantics: open-while-held stops on the next poll;
close-while-held requires release-then-repress (a
_suppress_move_until_release latch armed on the close transition,
cleared only when EVERY movement key is released — one-of-two released
does not clear, tested). Facing exempt from the latch (re-sync, not
lurch).
Audited action set: movement/facing-send/INTERACT/perception/pause/
stance/teleport/quicksave-load gated; OPEN_MENU exempt (Esc must close
the implant), BUG_REPORT/OPEN_JOURNAL exempt (client-only, never reach
send_input); dialog-driven direct SimBridge sends (settings, dialogue
pause, quit-to-menu save) out of scope by design. The pre-existing
server-side AutoPause defense observed firing correctly alongside.
Drive-by: pre-existing gdlint class-definitions-order violation in
input_mapper.gd fixed (public/private var ordering) — file lint-clean
for the first time.
Tests: 16 unit/state (real autoloads, real open_app/close_app
transitions, Input.action_press engine state) + 2 LIVE against a real
spawned server through the REAL client pipeline (position frozen for
20 held-W ticks while occluded; still frozen 10 ticks after close
without re-press; resumes on re-press) — port-retry/wall-clock/
COOLDOWN_TICKS conventions reused from test_input_roundtrip. 12-suite
regression sweep of every InputMapper consumer green.
