# Original command angle preservation and movement-byte masking

RE-976. Focused validation: `cargo xtask test-group qvm-client-command-rewrite`. [Machine report](qvm-client-command-rewrite.json).

Forty-eight source command-rewrite cases recover pause-mask1 and mode10/client-mask16 locking, saved-angle restore versus update, and independent server override. Clearing bytes493..495 preserves the low byte492 and command timestamp; buttons clear separately. Other pause bits alone do not trigger this lock. Native later movement execution remains outside this fragment.
