Development notes (for driver authors)

• Follow HID specifications for descriptors to maximize OS fallback compatibility.
• Implement robust handling for unplug/replug, suspend/resume, and USB hub scenarios.
• Expose standard HID usages for axes/buttons to avoid custom drivers when possible.
• Provide signed drivers for Windows and packaged kernel modules with DKMS support for Linux.
• Offer a clear firmware update path and rollback option.
• Log useful events and provide a verbose mode for debugging.
