Phase 1a: focus spoofing + hook observability
Two problems surfaced in testing: (1) no way to tell whether the injected hook was actually the input source, and (2) the final design needs the tool window focused for Steam RPT capture, which would pause/silence games that react to focus loss. Both are addressed here. - Focus spoofing (hook/focus_spoof): find the game's main window, subclass it to rewrite/swallow WM_ACTIVATE/ACTIVATEAPP/NCACTIVATE/KILLFOCUS, and inline- hook GetForegroundWindow/GetActiveWindow/GetFocus to always report the game as active. The game keeps running and polling while unfocused. - Status back-channel (protocol v2): the DLL reports attached/focus-spoof flags, game pid/hwnd, a heartbeat, and a cumulative XInputGetState counter. The host overlay turns the counter into a live poll rate, so "is the hook working" is directly observable. - Synthetic test-input toggle in the host: forwards a known automated pattern (stick circle + periodic A) to prove forwarding independent of the physical pad. - hook_selftest extended to assert the status channel; passes. Documented the windowed/borderless requirement and the new observable test flow in the README. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
