Wiki: drop stale 'Last updated for PadForge 3.2.0' footers (22 pages) Every page on the wiki carried a '*Last updated for PadForge X.Y.Z.*' italicized footer hard-coded to 3.2.0. With 3.3.0 shipped, those footers become a lie on every page that wasn't actually re-audited for the new version — bumping them to 3.3.0 wholesale would just swap one lie for another since most pages haven't been touched since 3.2.0. Removing the footer entirely: git history of each page is the honest source of truth for currency. Wiki contributors who need to know whether a section reflects the latest behavior can read the page's commit log; no in-page label needed.

Pass 7/25: rebuild Related-pages sections on Adaptive-Triggers, 3D-and-2D-Visualization, Lighting The earlier Related-pages normalization script collapsed lines like '- [[Force Feedback]] and [[Trigger Deadzones]]: tuning the body rumble and trigger floor' into '- [[Force Feedback]]: [[Trigger Deadzones]].' because it treated the first colon as the description separator. Each affected line now has a real description and links break out into separate bullets when they describe distinct pages.

Pass 2/25: italic hook consistency, Related pages normalization, em-dash sweep - Italicized hook line on 12 user-facing pages that had plain hooks (Stick-Deadzones, Trigger-Deadzones, Force-Feedback, Adaptive-Triggers, Lighting, Devices, DSU-Motion-Server, Web-Controller, Settings, Driver-Management, Input-Precision, 3D-and-2D-Visualization) and Troubleshooting. - Normalized Related-pages bullet formatting across 16 user-facing pages to one convention: '- [[Page]]: lowercase description.' - Home.md: cut filler 'long list of smaller wins' from the 3.2 intro paragraph; replaced em-dash pseudo-colon with a period; converted em-dash pseudo-colon in Gyro motion bindings bullet. - Controller-Slots.md: Open-a-slot tab list now reflects 3.2 reality (Gyro tab, Adaptive Triggers and Lighting on PS slots, Impulse Triggers on Xbox + PS). Related pages expanded to link the new pages. - Devices.md and Impulse-Triggers.md: em-dash pseudo-colons converted to periods.

Wiki rewrite: simple-English voice across all user-facing pages Rewrites 18 user-facing pages and adds hooks to 7 dev-deep-dive pages. Each user-facing page now opens with H1 then a one-sentence hook, strips banned vocabulary, replaces em-dash pseudo-colons with periods, and ends with a version marker. User-facing rewrites - Installation, Dashboard, Controller-Slots, Button-and-Axis-Mappings - Stick-Deadzones, Trigger-Deadzones, Force-Feedback, Adaptive-Triggers, Lighting - Macros, Profiles, Devices, DSU-Motion-Server, Web-Controller - Settings, Driver-Management, Input-Precision, Troubleshooting - 3D-and-2D-Visualization New 3.2 content woven into Force-Feedback (Impulse Triggers, Audio Bass Trigger Rumble, Constant Trigger Force) using actual in-app labels from Strings.resx. Profiles documents the new Toggle Virtual Controllers Disabled shortcut mode. Settings notes the stable-across-language-switch fix. DSU Motion Server covers the Gyro Aim Engage picker subtitle. Dev-deep-dive hooks added - Input-Pipeline, Settings-and-Serialization, ViewModels, XAML-Views, Engine-Library

Lighting tab reset buttons + v3 terminology sweep Refreshes pad-lighting screenshot to capture the four new reset buttons (Lightbar Mode, LED Brightness, Player Pattern, Mute LED Mode) plus the rest of the slot-0 PadPage tabs and slot-type config bars against the post-deploy build. Wiki prose: drops residual v2 phrasing (ExtendedConfig.IsGamepadPreset, DualShock4 / Xbox 360 enum names, "Microsoft" / "Sony") and routes through the v3 OutputType / VirtualControllerType vocabulary instead.

Wiki sync: drag-reorder rebuild logic + DS4/Microsoft identifier renames User-facing: documents the profile-aware drag-reorder behavior on the Dashboard. Active controllers in a group constitute their own ordering; the kernel rebuild fires only when an active VC's relative position to other actives changes such that a profile mismatch results. - Controller-Slots: new "What rebuilds on reorder" subsection. - Dashboard: drag-reorder paragraph extended with one-sentence summary. - 3D-and-2D-Visualization, Devices, Profiles, Macros, Troubleshooting: residual Xbox 360 / DualShock 4 family-name leakage replaced with Xbox / PlayStation in user-visible prose. Web-controller layout slugs and specific HM profile names left as-is. Dev pages: reflects the v2-era identifier renames in code that landed in 005ef8e + dc5b9fd: - Architecture-Overview, Settings-and-Serialization, Virtual-Controllers: MaxDS4Slots -> MaxPlayStationSlots. - ViewModels, XAML-Views: DS4Count -> PlayStationCount. - Services-Layer: rewrote SwapSlots / MoveSlot entries + added a new RebuildKernelOrderAfterReorder subsection covering the simplified single-pass live-subsequence comparison (replacing the older ShouldRebuildKernelOrder predicate). Also corrected a stale Xbox360 enum default in the CreateSlot row to Microsoft (the actual preserved enum identifier). - Input-Pipeline: cross-reference added to the Services-Layer reorder section since kernel-allocation rebuild lives in InputService. Preserved: VirtualControllerType.Microsoft enum value, MaxXbox360Slots constant, [XmlArray("MicrosoftSlotOrder")] attribute string, web layout slugs, ControllerModelDS4 / ControllerModelXbox360 class names, asset folder paths, HM JSON vendor "Microsoft"/"Sony" filter strings, all genuine Microsoft.Win32 / Microsoft.Windows.Devices.Midi2 / registry references.

Deep v3 resync: vJoy purge, Microsoft→Xbox terminology, current features Sweep residual v2 vJoy / ViGEmBus content out of user-facing pages and replace stale dev-page class names with the v3 unified HIDMaestro pipeline. Restore correct family-name terminology (Xbox / PlayStation / Extended, not Microsoft / Sony — those enum identifiers exist purely for v2 PadForge.xml back-compat per the in-source enum comment). User-facing pages (Home, Dashboard, Controller-Slots, Devices, Settings, Driver-Management, Troubleshooting, Force-Feedback, Web-Controller, 3D-and-2D-Visualization, 2D-Overlay-System, Installation, Stick-Deadzones, Trigger-Deadzones, Input-Precision): - vJoy slot type, "vJoy driver limit", and vJoy install steps removed - Troubleshooting: "vJoy Phantom Controllers" section deleted (v2 N²-bug, doesn't exist in HIDMaestro), other vJoy sections rewritten for HM - Force-Feedback: HID PID 1.0 framing for Extended; new Sony Report 0x01 rumble passthrough section - 3D-and-2D-Visualization: PlayStation touchpad preview (live finger spheres) and click-to-map TouchpadClick documented - 2D-Overlay-System: touchpad highlight visual spec (sampled colors) - Web-Controller: DS4 layout button-11 collapse for TouchpadClick Dev pages (Architecture-Overview, Engine-Library, Build-and-Publish, HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive, Input-Pipeline, SDL3-Integration, Services-Layer, Settings-and-Serialization, Driver-Installation-Internals, ViewModels, XAML-Views, Virtual-Controllers, Button-and-Axis-Mappings): - Stale Xbox360VirtualController / DS4VirtualController / ExtendedVirtualController / VJoyRawState references replaced with the v3 unified HMaestroVirtualController + ExtendedRawState - Step 5 prose updated to HMContext.SubmitState / SubmitRawReport with Sony Report 0x01 passthrough - HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive: HM 1.1.x → 1.2.0 - Services-Layer: false claim that Extended slots reset to "Microsoft (Xbox 360) gamepad preset" replaced with the actual behavior (ProfileId = GetDefaultProfileId(type), Custom "PadForge Game Controller" for Extended) - Three broken [[vJoy Deep Dive]] links retargeted to [[HIDMaestro Deep Dive]] - Virtual-Controllers gets a top-of-page editor's note flagging it for a full hand-rewrite (the deep sections still describe deleted v2 classes) Microsoft references kept where they are real: NuGet package Microsoft.Windows.Devices.Midi2, registry paths under SOFTWARE\Microsoft\, ".NET runtime download from Microsoft", literal VirtualControllerType.Microsoft enum-value citations, MaxXbox360Slots constant name (preserved from v2), [XmlEnum("Sony")] attribute string, OpenXInput Microsoft-trademark disclaimer.
