The shared skeleton of the five stateful UHID/UMDF managers (Linux
DualSense / DualShock 4 / Steam Deck, Windows DualSense / DualShock 4),
written once over PadSlots: event routing with the unplug sweep and
was-the-unplug early return, the merge-preserving frame fold, rich-input
application, the silence heartbeat (with a backend force hook for the
Steam mode-entry pulse), and the feedback pump with rumble dedup +
HidoutDedup. A backend supplies only its per-controller half via
PadProto: open / neutral / merge_frame / apply_rich / write_state /
service — exactly where the real protocol differences live.
Method surface (new/handle/apply_rich/pump/heartbeat) matches what the
punktfunk1.rs Pads router already drives, so each backend will convert
as a pub type alias with zero router edits.
Additive only — no backend converted yet. 8 mock-backend tests make the
manager lifecycle unit-testable for the first time; G2 (rich fields
survive a button-only frame) and G10 (Arrival eager-creates) are now
generic regression tests, plus removal-frame no-recreate, absent-pad
rich drop, create-backoff state tracking, rumble/hidout dedup + re-arm
on recreate, and heartbeat gap/force semantics.
Verified on .21: clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean; suite 293
pass / 0 fail (285 prior + 8 new).
Part of G12/3.3 (gamepad-review-cleanup.md §3a.3, commit 3 of the §3a.4
sequence).
