3.5.0: technical internals docs + screenshot refresh Add Wii-Controllers-Internals (pairing ceremony, SDL hidapi_wii read path, rescan recovery, capability gate). Extend Input-Pipeline (mouse cursor source, shift cycle, trigger routing, source kinds + ramp, macro clipboard + cursor actions) and SDL3-Integration (Wii fork fixes, axis capability gating). Refresh all page screenshots against 3.5.0; add the Trigger Routing card shot and link it from Force Feedback and Home.

Document 3.4 features: Remote Link, Wheel, Controller Audio, MIDI Input New pages for the four 3.4 headline features. Add a 3.4 What's new section and nav links on Home. Cross-link from Force Feedback (native wheel FFB), Devices (MIDI input cards), and Driver Management (MIDI input needs Windows MIDI Services). Audio page states the mirror is a Windows-output loopback, not game-audio packet interception, and that DS4 audio is Bluetooth-only. Remote Link page states local-network-only with no built-in internet path.

Force-Feedback: drop the dev-detail BaseHighBrush note from Test Rumble The Test Rumble user-facing description ended with 'The label uses BaseHighBrush so it stays readable in both light and dark themes.' Two reasons to drop it: (1) the brush name is stale — PadPage.xaml uses TextFillColorPrimaryBrush across the board now, not BaseHighBrush. (2) it's a WPF-internal detail that doesn't help anyone tuning rumble. Removed the sentence entirely; theme-readability is implicit in the WPF-UI Fluent style used everywhere else.

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.

Force-Feedback: note that Extended FFB is toggle-able via Customize 'The Extended virtual controller advertises full PID FFB capability' read as absolute. v3.0.3 added a ForceFeedbackEnabled toggle on ExtendedSlotConfigData (Customize-gated); when it's off, Step 5 rebuilds the HID descriptor without the PID block so DirectInput games see a non-FFB joystick. Documented the toggle so users chasing a 'why doesn't my game see PID FFB?' question can find the switch.

Wiki: replace 'per (slot, device)' tuple notation with plain English memory rule feedback_no_tuple_notation_in_prose.md flags 'per (slot, device)' as AI-jargon math notation. Five wiki pages had it. Replaced with 'per pad per slot' so prose reads like prose, not like a Python dict-key lookup.

Wiki Pass 3 user-facing audit Installation: OpenXInput now embedded in single-file EXE (drop the "and devobj.dll" — devobj is NOT bundled, per the architectural rule that ships only xinput1_4.dll and lets system32 resolve devobj unaided). Replace the obsolete Accept/Decline UAC table — PadForge declares requireAdministrator now, so the non-elevated branch is gone. Force-Feedback: fix "dualSense" → "DualSense" casing typo in the Related pages list.

Proper nouns (Xbox, DualSense, Sony, HIDMaestro, etc.) kept capitalized. One DualSense->dualSense miss caught and restored.

Related pages expanded to link the new pages. - Devices.md and Impulse-Triggers.md: em-dash pseudo-colons converted to periods.

Wiki: add Gyro / Shift Layers / Impulse Triggers, expand Mappings + Macros for 3.2 features New pages - Gyro: dedicated tab covering calibration, sensitivity, response shaping, engage gates, reference frames, per-(device, slot) persistence, per-source GyroSensitivity multiplier. - Shift Layers: per-slot mapping tables that activate while a button / chord / axis is engaged. Five activation modes, three activator kinds, per-layer color + emoji, Win11 flyout, last-engaged-wins resolution. - Impulse Triggers: split out of Force Feedback since the app has it as its own Pad-page tab.

Updated - Home.md "New in 3.2" now covers the full 3.2.0 feature set: mapping engine rebuild, shift layers, gyro Steam Input parity, impulse triggers tab, macro custom expression, lighting additions, platform changes. - Button-and-Axis-Mappings.md: per-VC scope, multi-source rows, six combine modes + custom formula, source kinds (Direct / Incremental / Invert On Hold), Bidirectional flag, direction badges, auto-mapping extend behavior. - Macros.md: Custom Expression trigger mode (formula + variables + recipes), multi-device combos in triggers, per-entry axis options. - Force-Feedback.md: trigger-motor sections moved to Impulse Triggers; cross-link added.
