MarcelineVPQandClaude Opus 4.7 69a0cd4ddb feat(diag): host-side trigger-flow triage via 0xFD + mic_diag.sh bt-trace
Extends the firmware's 0xFD vendor feature report from 32 to 44 bytes
to carry the three host -> dongle -> BT trigger counters added in
5da1be4 (host_out02_total / host_out02_trig_allow / host_out02_to_bt).
mic_diag.sh's bt-trace decoder reads them and prints a one-line
verdict so the user can triage issue #3 in one terminal command
instead of switching to the OLED Diagnostics screen mid-game.

Verdicts encoded:
  host02 > 0, trig == 0       -> host driver never sets the trigger
                                 Allow bits; not a firmware problem.
  trig > 0, tx < trig         -> trigger Allow bits arrive but the
                                 speaker-active gate in main.cpp
                                 swallowed them.
  full chain populated        -> dongle delivered, controller didn't
                                 actuate; Sony BT-side limit.

The 0xFD report ID stays undeclared in the HID descriptor — Linux
hidraw ioctls don't enforce that and WebHID never sees these reports
(config goes through 0xF6). bt-trace's IOCTL_SIZE bumped to 45
(1 byte for the kernel-prepended report ID + 44 bytes payload).

Docs:
  README.md   - new "Diagnostics & debug tooling" section walks
                through the four mic_diag.sh subcommands; previously
                the script was only mentioned inside
                BLUETOOTH_AUDIO_NOTES.md.
  README.md   - Diagnostics-screen description updated for the
                scrolling row-list + cross-link to bt-trace.
  CLAUDE.md   - "Where features live" gets a host-side-diagnostics
                entry explaining how to extend the 0xFD payload and
                wire it into bt-trace's decoder.
  CHANGELOG   - records both the firmware extension and the README
                discoverability fix.

# Mic-path host-side diagnostic for the DS5Dongle (OLED Edition).
#
# Subcommands:
# status — one-shot snapshot of dongle USB / ALSA / capture stream state.
# Prints whether the dongle enumerated, what ALSA card # it
# took, the capture stream's current alt setting + sync mode,
# and whether a paired DualSense is reachable.
# capture — runs a 3-second arecord on the mic IN endpoint, reports
# ALSA result code, captured byte count, and a non-silence
# indicator (peak abs sample value via Python's wave module).
# Tells us in one shot whether the firmware is producing
# actual isoc-IN data and whether anything audio-like is
# showing up.
# watch — loops `status` every 2 seconds, prints only on changes —
# useful for catching the moment pairing completes or the
# arecord stream opens/closes.
#
# Why a script: lets the assistant query mic-path state directly from
# the host rather than waiting for the user to relay OLED counters
# through chat, which dominated the early Phase-3 debugging time.
#
# Requirements (all already installed on the user's machine):
# - arecord (alsa-utils)
# - lsusb (usbutils)
# - python3 (for wave-file stats)
