enricobuehler	94c2f62490	test(tools): a GameInput probe — and it cannot see our promoted Xbox pad ... `win-input-matrix` covered four of the five rows and said so; GameInput was the gap, because it has no binding in the `windows` crate and needs hand-written COM. This adds it: `--gameinput` reports whether GameInput has a reading, and `--gi-rumble l,h,lt,rt [--gi-pid PID]` drives `SetRumbleState`. Every vtable slot is taken from the SDK header, not guessed — a COM vtable is positional, so a wrong slot calls a different method with the wrong signature. WHY RUMBLE AND NOT JUST ENUMERATION. `XINPUT_VIBRATION` has two members, so classic XInput can never exercise an Xbox pad's two IMPULSE-TRIGGER motors. `GameInputRumbleParams` has four (`lowFrequency`, `highFrequency`, `leftTrigger`, `rightTrigger`), which makes GameInput the only API that can settle `design/trigger-rumble-plane.md` §2.1's open question — the `enable`-mask bit assignment for the two trigger actuators, where bits 2/3 (the handles) are measured and bits 0/1 (the triggers) are inferred from field order and nothing else. TWO THINGS MEASURED ON .173, 2026-08-09: 1. ⭐ GameInput's device enumeration is ASYNCHRONOUS, and the first `GetCurrentReading` reliably returns nothing even with pads actively reporting. This is the GameInput analogue of `wake_wgi`: the API looks like a query and is really a cache someone else fills. A bounded poll fixes it. ⚠️ Focus is NOT the cause, and the header rules it out rather than my guessing: `GameInputDefaultFocusPolicy` is 0 and every `GameInputFocusPolicy` flag is a RESTRICTION, so the default already admits background input. Do not "fix" this with `SetFocusPolicy`. 2. 🛑 **GameInput never sees our pad.** Hunting by product id for six seconds with the pad live and sweeping, it enumerated `054C:0CE6` (DualSense) and `3434:D031` (8BitDo) — both plain HID pads — and never `045E:02FD`, ours, while classic XInput was reading ours live in the same moment. ⇒ THE TRIGGER ENABLE BITS REMAIN CONJECTURE, but for a better reason than before: it is not that nobody has tried, it is that on this box NOTHING CAN DELIVER a four-motor rumble to our pad. XInput structurally cannot; GameInput can but does not see it. ⚠️ The obvious suspicion is that `xinputhid` claiming the HID collection exclusively is what hides the pad from GameInput — which would mean promotion costs us the API most Game-Pass-era titles use, a trade we have shipped by default. **That is NOT established here.** The decisive control is cheap and has not been run: power on the REAL Xbox Elite, which Microsoft's own driver promotes the same way, and see whether GameInput enumerates it. If a real promoted Xbox pad is also absent, this is a property of GameInput in a non-interactive session and not our defect — the same shape as the WGI `ts=0` row, which a real Elite reproduced. VERIFIED * `cargo fmt --check` clean; `cargo clippy --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean (cross-checked from macOS). * Builds and runs on .173; `GameInputCreate` succeeds, readings arrive after the poll, and `SetRumbleState` is accepted. * The runtime is loaded by name, so a box without GameInput reports "unavailable" rather than failing to link or crashing. NOT VERIFIED * That `SetRumbleState` reaches ANY pad's motors — it was accepted for the DualSense but nothing observable was checked on that device, and it never reached ours. * `GameInputDeviceInfo` is read only for `vendorId`/`productId` (offsets 4 and 6). The rest of the struct has variable-size members whose layout would have to be mirrored exactly; nothing here needs them. `supportedRumbleMotors` is in there and would answer "does GameInput think this pad has trigger motors" — worth adding if this line of enquiry continues.	2026-08-09 22:55:17 +02:00
enricobuehler	13438b1287	test(tools): ask Windows which input APIs can see the pad, and find what promotes it ... The Xbox-pad-on-Windows programme is a five-row matrix — classic XInput, WGI `Gamepad`, WGI `RawGameController`, GameInput, and the HID/DirectInput/Steam family — and nothing in this tree measured any of it. Every reading in the handoff came from ad-hoc off-tree tools, which is why several could not be reproduced later and why one was a false positive. `win-input-matrix` makes the matrix a command you can run twice and diff. Two traps are baked into it because both have already cost this programme a wrong conclusion. `--watch` samples repeatedly and reports LIVE vs MUTE per device, because an API listing a pad that never reports is the exact failure mode here — worse than not listing it, since a title that binds the first gamepad latches a dead one. And the doc comment insists on a baseline with the virtual pad STOPPED: a real Xbox pad owns XInput slot 0, which is how `rc=0 LX=-885` was once read as success with our pad already killed. ⭐ `wake_wgi()` is not optional and is commented as such. `Gamepad::Gamepads()` and `RawGameController::RawGameControllers()` return a cache filled by WGI's device-watcher, which a GUI app has already started and a console app has not. Without subscribing to the Added events first, BOTH collections come back empty with real controllers attached — measured here: a DualSense sitting in the HID interface class, `RawGameControllers` count=0. A probe missing this reports "WGI cannot see the pad" when WGI could not see anything. WHAT IT FOUND (full record in measurements/2026-08-09-xbox-hid-xinputhid-busfilter.md): with `UpperFilters=xinputhid` on the pad's PARENT devnode AND `DevicePropertyFlags=1` in that parent's SOFTWARE key, the HID Xbox pad is promoted for the first time — the child gains the `IG_00` token, an XUSB interface appears, classic XInput admits it, and WGI `Gamepad` lists it. All four had never happened on this backend. A one-value A/B proves `DevicePropertyFlags` is the decisive half: removing it alone reverts all four. That retro-explains the earlier "the filter installs fine and produces nothing" result — the filter was loading without ever being put in bus-filter mode, which is what `BusDevice = 0x1` means in Microsoft's own comment in `xinputhid.inf`. Not a workspace member, for the same reason as `hid-descriptor-dump`: it is a Windows-only bring-your-own-hardware tool with no business on a CI leg. VERIFIED * `cargo fmt --check` clean; `cargo clippy --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean (cross-checked from macOS; the target is installed). * Builds and runs on .173 (Win11 26200). * Self-checked against known-good hardware before any conclusion was drawn from it: baseline reads the USB DualSense as LIVE in both WGI collections and the resting 8BitDo as MUTE. * The A/B was run in both directions on the same box in one session. * `cargo metadata` on the root workspace resolves and does NOT list this crate. * .173 fully reverted: registry values removed, devnodes removed, oem100.inf deleted, both certs delstored, 6 pre-existing pf_gamepad packages and the production service untouched. NOT VERIFIED * GameInput — no binding in the `windows` crate, needs hand-written COM vtables. Not covered; the doc comment says so. * That the promotion survives a reboot or a devnode re-create from a shipped INF `AddReg` rather than a hand-written registry value. Nothing is shipped: `pf_gamepad.inx` is UNCHANGED and still contains no AddReg of any kind. * WHY the promoted pad still translates no data. Enumeration is fixed; translation is not. The evidence points at the report descriptor, which is gated on the §3.3 decision.	2026-08-09 19:24:28 +02:00
