lmao funny number.

I have the initial input handler more or less working, I need to commit off what I have for the image pipeline side so it’s saved somewhere then remove it.

A critical next step is building a better build/test/repeat loop. I’ve been sitting on this work for a while because testing it feels bad, lots of waiting, lots of actions-per-loop.

bevy_testing and headless mode are probably the way to go, but it’d be cool if I can do some amount of input testing, maybe get insta working somehow, not sure.

Hot code reloading would be nice but I don’t want to fight through the ratatui component of things to get it working.

I’m leaning towards refactoring the input manager to be all-bevy, then feed back to the ratatui side, but not sure if that makes sense yet.
