horizon-client's cpal output and its controllers (gilrs, the DualSense's HID output) move behind the
audio and controllers features, on by default, so the game is unchanged. Built with
--no-default-features it links neither libasound.so.2 nor libudev.so.1. release.yml packages that
build as horizon-engine in horizon-server-linux-x86_64.tar.gz (xtask package-server, checked by
check_imports.py --server); install.sh installs it on Linux (and --archive installs a local one);
horizon-server already prefers horizon-engine. The Dockerfile uses it too, and CI lints it.

Vanilla 26.3 has no gamepad input, so this is Horizon's own, on Bedrock's
default layout (docs/controllers.md). gilrs reads the pads; the pure part
(bindings, radial deadzones, the look curve, button edges, the
horizon-controller.txt settings file) is in gamepad.rs with unit tests.
Buttons act as the vanilla key mapping they're bound to, through the same
path a rebound keyboard key takes (the keyboard's post-rebinding handling
moves into Game::mapped_key). The left stick is an analog move vector,
the right stick turns the view per frame, LB/RB step the hotbar, B and
Start leave screens and A respawns. horizon-ctl pad injects a virtual pad.

The Windows launcher was built without crt-static and imported VCRUNTIME140.dll,
which only the Visual C++ redistributable installs: players without it got a
missing-DLL dialog before anything started. The game itself links only system
DLLs (vulkan-1.dll is loaded at run time).
- launcher.yml links the C runtime on Windows.
- tools/check_imports.py reads PE import and delay-import tables (and ELF
loader, needed libraries and run paths); release.yml and launcher.yml fail
when a Windows binary imports a non-system DLL.
- release.yml builds Linux on Ubuntu 22.04: the NixOS-made Linux release asked
for a /nix/store loader, so it ran nowhere but NixOS.
- No adapter: the game says the Vulkan driver is missing and what to install,
and on Windows keeps the console open until Enter.
