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.

Rewrite Engine-Library / ViewModels / XAML-Views / Settings-and-Serialization for v3 Engine-Library: collapsed IVirtualController implementations to v3's three classes (HMaestroVirtualController, MidiVirtualController, KeyboardMouseVirtualController). VJoyRawState renamed conceptually to ExtendedRawState; VJoy custom mappings to Extended custom mappings. Added the v2-to-v3 enum migration note (Xbox360 -> Microsoft, DualShock4 -> PlayStation, VJoy -> Extended) so v2 PadForge.xml files still load. ViewModels: removed fabricated IsHIDMaestroInstalled / Install&UninstallHIDMaestroCommand rows; HIDMaestro is bundled, only HidHide + MIDI Services remain in driver status. Added HmInactivityDestroyTimeoutSeconds row. Renamed vJoy configuration subsection to Extended Configuration; OutputType default fixed to Microsoft. XAML-Views: switched framework references from ModernWPF (Valkirie) to WPF UI 4.2 (Lepo.Wpf.Ui). Slot-card type buttons listed as Microsoft / PlayStation / Extended / KB+M / MIDI. Replaced vJoy Config Bar section with HMaestroProfileBar + ExtendedConfigBar matching the live XAML. SettingsPage HIDMaestro card has no Install/Uninstall buttons (embedded). Settings-and-Serialization: ExtendedConfigs / Extended custom mappings terminology throughout. Save Flow mermaid node updated. SlotControllerTypes default = Microsoft. All XML element names verified against a live PadForge.xml. Each page's stale v3 banner replaced with a current banner stating the page has been rewritten and pointing to HIDMaestro Deep Dive for architecture rationale.

Architecture-Overview: refresh Mermaid diagram for v3 (HM thread pool, OpenXInput, 5 categories) + add v3 caveat banner to 7 dev pages The Mermaid diagram now reflects: - 5 controller categories (Microsoft / PlayStation / Extended / KBM / MIDI) instead of v2's Xbox360 / DualShock4 / vJoy. - HM lifecycle thread pool as a separate node feeding the three HM-backed categories (Microsoft, PlayStation, Extended). - OpenXInput shim as a sibling to SDL3.dll under External Systems. - HIDMaestro driver as the single virtual-HID-output driver (replacing ViGEm + vJoy nodes). - Windows MIDI Services as the MIDI backend. The 7 deeper dev pages (Driver-Installation-Internals, Input-Pipeline, Virtual-Controllers, Engine-Library, ViewModels, XAML-Views, Settings-and-Serialization) get a 'Note for v3' banner pointing readers to HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive as the canonical source for v3 implementation detail. The terminology in those pages was already swept; the implementation-detail sections still describe v2 mechanics until a follow-up content rewrite.

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.
