Build-and-Publish: align Native-DLLs section with single-file reality Same fix as commit 82e945f (Architecture-Overview). The section header said native DLLs are 'Not embedded inside the single-file exe.' That contradicts the project's actual publish flags: PublishSingleFile=true SelfContained=true IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true The combo means Content items are folded into the single-file bundle and extracted to %TEMP% on launch. PadForge ships as one EXE — the deploy recipe and every release confirm this. Reworded to explain both modes (non-single-file leaves them adjacent; single-file bundles + extracts).

Build-and-Publish: refresh example tag from v3.2.0 to v3.3.0 Two illustrative version-tag examples in the release-workflow section still pointed at v3.2.0; current latest is v3.3.0.

Build-and-Publish: HIDMaestro install path matches Driver-Installation-Internals The native-deps section said: 'The HIDMaestro user-mode driver is installed by a separate bundled installer that DriverInstaller runs on first launch. The driver is not embedded in the EXE.' Three things wrong: 1. DriverInstaller does NOT manage HIDMaestro install (per Driver-Installation-Internals.md line 5). 2. There is no separate bundled installer EXE. The driver binaries ship inside HIDMaestro.Core.dll, which is bundled into the single-file EXE. 3. The driver IS embedded in the EXE (via the .Core.dll bundle). Rewrote to match the actual install path: HMContext.InstallDriver() runs from the engine, in-process, on first start, calling pnputil under PadForge's already-elevated process token. Also tightened the MIDI Services Install description from 'installed on demand from the Microsoft Store or installer' to match DriverInstaller's actual flow (GitHub releases API download + silent install).

Build-and-Publish: Development Scripts table reflects actual ~20 capture_*.ps1 files The table still listed a single 'capture_screenshots.ps1' plus three specific captures (capture_pads / capture_macros / capture_3d_2d). Repo actually has ~20 capture_*.ps1 scripts, one per UI surface, with capture_all_wrapper.ps1 running them in sequence. Collapsed into a single row with that explanation.

Wiki: dedupe asset attribution + complete OBJ/PNG mesh-directory tables Architecture-Overview.md: previously cited 'Gamepad-Asset-Pack, MIT' only on the DS4 row of the 2DModels tree and 'Handheld Companion, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0' only on the DS4 row of the 3DModels tree. Moved the attribution to the section header so each row doesn't need to repeat it, and the cross-family asymmetry disappears. Build-and-Publish.md: 3D Model Assets table listed only XBOX360 (31) and DS4 (36); added XBOXONE (46) and DualSense (48). 2D Model Assets prose listed only DS4 and XBOX360; expanded to all 5 dirs.

Build-and-Publish: em-dash pseudo-colon + stale screenshot script SharedVersion 'Never re-introduce...' em-dash was a pseudo-colon attaching the consequence; replaced with a period. tools/ tree listed 'capture_screenshots.ps1' (singular) but the repo actually has ~20 capture_*.ps1 scripts, one per wiki surface.

Pass 8: assembly versioning lives in repo-root SharedVersion.cs, not Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs App and Engine share one version via the linked SharedVersion.cs at the repo root. Wiki claimed AssemblyInfo.cs held the version (and listed stale 2.1.0.0 / 2.0.0.0 values), which is wrong on three counts: wrong file, wrong version numbers, wrong drift model (versions are shared now, not independent). Also fix the release-workflow step that pointed at AssemblyInfo.cs.

Wiki Pass 3: dev-deep-dive accuracy corrections ViewModels: HMaestro SDK assembly is HIDMaestro.Core (not Microsoft.HIDMaestro.SDK); user-mode driver still needs first-run installation, not just an embedded assembly. SDL3-Integration: drop the _filteredVigemInstanceIds field documentation. That field is gone from current InputService.cs. HM virtuals are filtered upstream by the SDL3 fork's patched SDL_GetJoysticks (walks container ID to the HM root enumerator and drops matches before returning the list), so the engine no longer needs the rumble-killing-close guard. Architecture-Overview / Driver-Installation-Internals / Build-and-Publish / HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive: OpenXInput corrections. xinput1_4.dll is bundled inside the single-file EXE via Content + IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract, not "copied adjacent to PadForge.exe". devobj.dll is deliberately NOT shipped (a bundled stub would hijack setupapi.dll's own DevObj* imports and crash HID class enumeration per PadForge #69). System devobj.dll resolves from System32 unaided. Also: refresh pad-playstation-configbar.jpg to match the canonical PS slot screenshot (DualSense (PS5, Bluetooth) profile, dualsense-bt).

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.

Fix mojibake throughout the wiki + rewrite Input-Precision Stage 5 for v3 Mojibake sweep: 1067 sequences across 17 .md files. Earlier passes had round-tripped UTF-8 punctuation through a CP1252 layer, baking the literal three-character mojibake into the files (em-dash → â + € + ", en-dash, right arrow, box-drawing chars, middle dot, multiplication sign, etc.). Restored to the proper Unicode codepoints: — – → ↔ ← │ ├ └ · ×. Input-Precision Stage 5 rewrite: the page still described 'Stage 5: vJoy Output (15-bit unsigned)' which doesn't exist in v3. v3 has a single HIDMaestro Output stage with three sub-cases: - Microsoft (Xbox 360): signed 16-bit sticks, 8-bit triggers - PlayStation (DS4): 8-bit sticks AND triggers (DS4 protocol) - Extended (HM custom HID): 16-bit unsigned sticks, 8-bit triggers by default, raisable to 16-bit per profile Verified against HIDMaestro's HidDescriptorBuilder.cs (AddStick default bits=16, AddTrigger default bits=8) and PadForge's HMaestroVirtualController.cs (SubmitGamepadState normalizes through float at the SDK boundary). Output Throughput section: dropped the vJoy single-IOCTL note, replaced with HIDMaestro single-call SubmitState description. Summary table axis-resolution rows now reflect per-VC-type wire bit depth. Stage 3 callout pointing at Stage 5. Pseudo-colon em-dash converted to period per the project style rule.

Bulk v3 terminology sweep across remaining wiki pages (23 files) Mechanical s/// pass on the names that don't depend on architectural context: ViGEmBus -> HIDMaestro, ViGEmClient -> HIDMaestro SDK, VJoy -> Extended (the C# enum value name appearing in narrative text), 'DirectInput (vJoy)' -> 'Extended (HIDMaestro)', 'Xbox 360 / DualShock 4' (slot type pair) -> 'Microsoft / PlayStation', etc. Pages already hand-rewritten upstream were left alone (Home, Installation, Driver-Management, HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive). Virtual-Controllers got the same pass since it's a central reference. Caveat: many of the deeper architecture pages (Driver-Installation- Internals, Input-Pipeline, ViewModels, XAML-Views, Engine-Library, etc.) still describe v2-era *implementation* (vjoy.sys SetupAPI device-node creation, ViGEm.Client P/Invoke surface, etc.). The TERMINOLOGY now matches v3 but the IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS in those pages are still v2 and need a follow-up content pass to reflect the HIDMaestro SDK surface, the OpenXInput shim, the HM thread-pool lifecycle, the bubble-up cascade, etc. See HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive.md for the v3-correct version of that material.
