Axis Config calibration and legacy trigger UI cleanup

Historical record. This preserves the source, tests and limitations recorded at the time; it is not current setup guidance. See the documentation index.

Requested changes

  • Move the 360-degree calibration feature to Axis Config, not button remapping or Special Actions. Each LS/RS Flick Stick panel now has a typed 360° test button selector, using that stick's existing Real World Calibration.
  • Remove Axis Config's legacy Trigger Effect, Trigger Start, and Trigger Strength controls. Keep normal trigger input tuning and Trigger Lab.

Compatibility and runtime boundaries

  • Both profile serializers persist CalibrationTrigger as a canonical source button name under each stick's FlickStickSettings. Missing/invalid fields become unassigned; defaults remain off. Universal choices include supported extended buttons without controller-specific hiding.
  • Experimental saved remapper actions 45/46 still load and execute. They are no longer offered by the remapper UI. No existing binding IDs are renumbered.
  • The canonical mapper observes both configured buttons before consuming their source fields and initial default output. Same-button assignments produce one right-stick turn. Another button mapped into that destination is preserved. Stored bindings and physical snapshots are not overwritten.
  • Assigning an analog trigger reserves both its soft and full-pull normal outputs. Independent physical features such as gyro activation, Game Bar, and mute shortcuts are unchanged; the guide recommends a spare button.
  • Mode or source changes cancel unfinished turns and baseline held buttons. Existing owner/profile/reset/gap cancellation and exact count conservation remain intact. No timer, worker, input queue, or sleep was introduced.
  • Review found the existing Flick Stick branches could dereference a missing controller before the calibration cancellation check. Both now skip removed, removing, unsynced, or missing controllers; owner-loss tests cover Axis Config and legacy action entry points.
  • Only the legacy trigger UI and its unused view-model wrappers/catalog were removed. Saved effect data, serialization, Trigger Lab restoration, native game feedback, impulse conversion, and haptic transports remain unchanged.

Validation

The first focused Release run passed 170 tests, zero failures or skips, covering calibration, mouse output, new settings and UI, and Trigger Lab. Afterward, four additional mapper cases were added for active two-stage trigger modes; the complete suite includes these.

The complete Release suite passed 5,972 tests, zero failures, with 11 opt-in tests skipped, 5,983 total, in 1 minute 43 seconds. This includes the existing Trigger Lab restoration, profile migration, native DualSense trigger, Nintendo input/output, and haptics coverage. No assertions were disabled.

Production calibration panel markup was rendered offscreen in Default/Dark themes at 360/640 DIPs and 96/144 DPI. Eight render cases plus binding/mode, placement, and legacy-control absence checks passed. The main agent inspected the compact dark 150% and wider light renders: text and selectors are not clipped. Axis Config's existing scroll viewer contains the additional rows.

Evidence is under isolated_results/axis-calibration-20260914/: axis-focused.trx, axis-full.trx, and eight flick-calibration-axis-*.png renders.

No live game, Windows mouse injection, controller I/O, application restart, installer, or release asset replacement was performed. In-game rotation still depends on the game's mouse sensitivity; this is a manual calibration aid.
