New INPUT section reads hJoyHeld (0xFFB4) and draws a d-pad cross + A/B circles
+ SEL/START pills; held buttons glow bright green, idle ones dim grey.
fix(control): ignore SIGPIPE so a vanishing client can't kill the emulator2026-07-14T23:42:34Zgbc devgbc@localhost2026-07-14T23:42:34Zurn:sha1:2d39cb0b3ff9851e9872b3eb1f1324bde6910a1c
A client that connects and closes before reading (e.g. the HUD's liveness
probe) made the greeting write() raise SIGPIPE, terminating the whole emulator
- this was behind much of the 'it keeps dying' this session. Also: gbhud now
re-resolves the live instance from the registry on every reconnect (skipping
stale sockets by test-connecting), so the HUD follows respawns, and its box
rendering is ANSI-width-correct.
tools: live debug HUD (gbhud.py) + 'gbctl hud'2026-07-14T23:32:57Zgbc devgbc@localhost2026-07-14T23:32:57Zurn:sha1:f36200458ef8d4c698c41c3543b51f3235a25d19
Reads WRAM over the control socket, resolves addresses from pokeyellow.sym, and
pretty-prints game state (location, player pos/facing, movement+collision debug,
player name/money/badges, party nicknames/levels/HP bars) refreshing ~5Hz.
'gbctl hud' spawns it in a tmux split bound to the live instance.
