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.

External research pass — verified findings only (Aug 2026)
A web-research agent was dispatched with a brief covering this project's open questions. Its raw report contained real value mixed with fabricated detail (invented a table-category split not present in a cited source, guessed at least one dead URL). Everything below has been independently re-verified by this project directly against the actual source — the raw report and the dispatch brief that produced it have been deleted; this is the distilled, trustworthy result, not a summary of the report.
Confirmed
0x53822 device flag — Purge Control Valve, strengthened. TuneECU's
own tests.html (this project's site mirror) lists a distinct, real
testable entry: "Purge Control Valve (Only bikes with charcoal
canister) — Activate the purge valve, listen for a very quiet noise,"
right alongside its own separate SAI entry. Confirms Purge Valve is a real
device on this ECU family with its own dedicated path — genuinely
strengthens (doesn't prove) the leading hypothesis for this byte. Also
confirms "Air Flap (675 Daytona)" is Daytona-675-specific, per the same
list. Full detail and remaining uncertainty: reference-maps/DEVICES.md.
Wideband sensor bung masking is real and worth designing around.
Confirmed via a real installer source (RB Racing): long/angled 18mm bungs
and thread-reducing adapters (18mm→12mm) can prevent the sensor tip from
reaching the core exhaust gas stream, causing delayed/inaccurate
readings — "Many manufacturers use long 18mm O2 slanted bungs. These
'mask' the 18mm O2 sensor signal"; thread reducers are "junk... too long
masking the signal." Practical implication: check bung depth/angle
against the sensor's spec before assuming any available bung (stock or
new) works. Folded into TUNING_IMPL_PLAN.md Phase 2.
Zeitronix ZT-3 — a third real wideband option. Sold by Woolich Racing
as a tuning-package wideband kit. Adds to the existing list (Innovate
LM-2/MTX-L, AEM X-Series UEGO). Folded into TUNING_IMPL_PLAN.md Phase 2.
Explicitly not carried forward (checked and rejected, or unverifiable)
- A claimed "Speed-Density vs. Alpha-N" table split in a Keihin SH7054 XDF listing — checked the actual source, no such split exists there; the page instead lists a 3-cylinder table set, meaning the wrong product (likely a Triumph triple's XDF, not this twin) was cited. Don't reuse this claim.
- A specific Woolich Racing product URL for wideband bung fitment — the exact URL doesn't resolve to a real distinct page; the general product line exists but this project couldn't confirm it covers the correct (Keihin, air-cooled) ECU generation rather than the later Bosch/ liquid-cooled T100. Same wrong-generation risk this project has hit repeatedly elsewhere — don't cite this source without re-confirming ECU generation first.
- A Reddit thread claimed to discuss map
20262availability — could not be fetched or verified at all (Reddit blocks this project's tooling). - Claims about TTP's "TuneLoader" licensing mechanism and Ultimate Twin Performance's remap-service pricing — plausible, not independently checked.
- A Manitoba emissions-inspection regulation citation — checked, the specific regulation number cited does not match what's actually findable; not relied on for anything, not detailed further here.
