F8 now always writes a folder under logs/captures: the area, Link's position and rotation, the camera of the frame on screen and the game's own, the presented frame as a PNG, frame times around the press, the machine, the settings that differ from the defaults, the end of the log, the save, and the game's flags and texts. A note on screen names the capture. The flight recorder's F8 dump goes into the capture's folder.
NX2NAVI_CAPTURE_REPLAY starts a run on a capture's settings, teleports to its area, walks Link to where he stood and puts the free camera where the camera was; tools/capture_run.py prepares the profile from the capture's save, runs it and compares the two captures. docs/bug-capture.md has the files and the steps.

With NX2NAVI_RUMBLE_HD=1 (live, off by default) the gamepad the game reads, when it is a Switch Pro Controller, a
single Joy-Con or a pair of them, gets each side's low and high band with its own frequency and amplitude in the
controller's rumble report, and no dual-motor call any more. A Pro Controller and a single Joy-Con take the report
through SDL's effect call, over USB and Bluetooth; SDL refuses that call for a combined pair, so a pair's reports are
written to its two HID devices directly. Every other gamepad, the Switch 2 controllers included, keeps the motors.
The game's thread posts its newest values and a thread of input.c writes the reports: at most one every 15 ms
(rumble_hd_ms), a held value again every 30 ms, and the neutral value when the game stops sending for 250 ms, when
another gamepad takes over, when the setting is turned off and before the process ends. The rumble strength scales the
amplitude and rumble = 0 silences this path as well. With the setting off nothing is written to the controller: the
log line at the take names it by its ids, and the first report is the trial.

mouse_mode = direct is the default, but on 1.1.1 it did nothing: only the 1.4.3 patch table had the sites, so the mouse always went through the stick emulation, which gives no turn at slow mouse speeds and tops out at about 107 degrees a second. The 1.1.1 table now has the set mouse_direct (on by default): at main+0x37c45c, where the camera's input update holds the processed stick in s1 and s0, a host call performs the displaced store and adds the raw mouse counts to both, so the mouse meets no dead zone and no curve; at main+0x37c4f0 a second call clears the idle bit for an update the mouse moved in. The counts are divided by the frames the game steps per update and by the stick camera speed, so the same hand movement turns the same angle at every frame rate. The Controls tab gets the mouse mode and mouse sensitivity rows, and mouse_mode = stick or NX2NAVI_MOUSE_DIRECT_PATCH=0 gives the old behaviour.
Checked here: the generator lifts the 1.1.1 game with the two sites (it compares each site's original word), the lifted game compiles and links with the runtime, and tests/mouse_direct_check.py passes its 1.1.1 harness (register contract, displaced store and load, equal turn at every frame rate and stick speed, the reset pause, capture and mode). Not checked here: the game was not run, so aiming with the mouse was not tried, and the differential tests against Unicorn were not run because no Python on this PC has Unicorn. The contributor measured 0.0800 degrees per count on both axes in the game.

(cherry picked from commit bb8fecfbe43517006eafd7be9c22e8dbe9601de7)
Performance: draws reuse the bindings that did not change and record only the dynamic states that differ from what
the command buffer holds; small uploads come from a staging arena; finished submissions are held briefly and handed to
the queue in batches; the recorder thread can keep a CPU core of its own; ASTC block-linear textures are deswizzled on
the GPU; dynamic resolution steps the upscaler mode to hold a frame-time target. Each has a setting in nx2navi.ini
(bind_reuse, dyn_delta, stg_arena, submit_batch, recorder_core, recorder_prio, astc_gpu_deswizzle, dyn_res) and the
staging cache now frees what it holds at shutdown.
Capture: NX2NAVI_DUMP=key saves the frame after each press of Insert, with mesh draws listed by task, mesh and fragment
shader, depth test and face culling, and mesh_prims.txt giving each mesh draw's primitive, clipping and fragment counts.
All of it is off unless NX2NAVI_DUMP is set.

Comments say what the code does and why, docs/maxwell.md keeps the Maxwell facts, and fetch_refs.sh clones only the checkout the build reads. Code is unchanged.
