This is a fork-only experiment targeting codex/experiment-base. Keep it isolated from main and the existing upstream PR heads. The switch is off by default.

What and why

Automatic controller slots already support multiple players, but identical model names are reconnect hints rather than persistent identity. DM_PAD_ASSIGN=1 adds a session-only Players sheet with live connection identification and explicit move/swap choices. Merge mode keeps its existing behavior and disables this option.

Reassignment releases old buttons, motion and haptic routes before publishing the new assignment. Opted-in callbacks serialize on the main queue. Touch remains Player 1 and is available when only later players have controllers. Player indicators cover the framework's supported first four slots; later slots use sheet labels.

Checked

• 128 host input checks; production iOS build; source/docs/lint checks pass.
• Newt, iOS 27.2: 39 programmatic production-adapter checks with writable/synthetic controller state, recorded host endpoints and synthetic gyro. Release order, slot masks, reconnect hints, stale motion callbacks and sheet data are covered.
• Physical USB/Bluetooth devices, LEDs, rumble, real gyro, interactive sheet presentation and accessibility remain pending. No physical-controller gameplay route was run.

Docs

• Assignment semantics, opt-in and identity/hardware limits documented.
• No game files, keys or extracted game data.

Closing: experiment evidence and testing are tracked in the upstream nxnative PRs, so the fork-only experiment copy comes down. Keeping the branch here for reference.
