New research/ROAD_TEST_LOG.md: the 2026-09-15 flash of
20262-arrow-delete-lowthrottle-composed.hex was a major real-world
success (stalling fully resolved, decel backfire much reduced but not
eliminated). Captures the live diagnostic reasoning that followed:
correcting an overly-lean-leaning framing mid-session (residual decel pop
is more likely a rich-unburned-mixture-with-no-SAI-assist problem, not a
lean one), a structural hypothesis that the Idle Fuel Trim (CO) curve
likely applies whenever the throttle is closed at any RPM rather than
only at a literal stop (only 2 of its 32 points are currently corrected,
and the untouched middle range lines up with the residual pop's RPM
window), and the reasoning for rejecting airbox-baffle removal as a fix
for decel popping specifically (wrong mechanism -- closed throttle isn't
airbox-limited -- and risks worsening the separately-flagged, still
unaddressed main-VE-table leanness gap).
Also updates TABLES.md with the CO-trim applicability open question, and
brings TUNING_GUIDE.md's "local research assets" section up to date (it
still said maps were gitignored/unflashable, both stale).

Removes the *.hex/maps_cache gitignore rule (explicit user call, reversing
the earlier no-redistribution stance) so the official TuneECU catalogue
maps, derived SAI/O2-delete composites, and the checksum/composition
tooling are actually available to pull up on a phone browser when using
the real TuneECU app. Also folds in tonight's KWP2000 fixes (TesterPresent
keep-alive, connect-failure cleanup, slow-init StartCommunication fix) and
the accumulated research docs.

Reversed the inner map format from l.java (Nc/Lb) and validated it against the
stock reference maps:
- reconstruct_rom.py: decoded map -> unpack directory -> 384KB flat ROM. In the
flat ROM, production (20187) vs aftermarket (20188) differ only 1.4% (vs 96%
packed), i.e. real fuel enrichment.
- table_map.py + TABLES.md: fe = c.a[Qd*48]; base = (fe[0]&0x2F0)<<12 = 0x50000;
table = base + fe[k]. Located 9 tables (main/low-throttle fuel per cylinder,
base/idle fuel, ignition by gear x4), 32 RPM rows x 20 throttle cols, with real
axes (RPM fe[8], throttle fe[27]) and the AFR curve (fe[2], 128=lambda 1.00).
Validated: main-fuel delta is uniformly richer in the aftermarket map.
Viewer now has a "Triumph tables" tab: drop a real .hex (or pick two) and it
decodes, unpacks, and renders the fuel/ignition tables as heatmaps with real
axes, plus an A->B difference view. build_viewer.py embeds the c.a/s.a directory
so any map resolves in-browser.
Catalogue dropdown: download_maps.py fetches map .hex files into maps_cache/;
serve.py serves the viewer over http so the dropdown can fetch them (drag-and-drop
still works on file://).
Proprietary map binaries (*.hex, *.dec.bin, maps_cache/) are gitignored — code and
docs only.
