manage.sh controllers: poll Wolf's logs, label slots ordinally; document Cemu profile-editing recovery
Two follow-ups from live testing that just confirmed the whole controllers_override chain works end to end: 1. manage.sh controllers now polls `docker compose logs wolf` for "Creating <TYPE> joypad for controller <N>" lines (most recent per slot wins) and shows what it last saw before asking anything, using it as the suggested default at each prompt. Every prompt is now labeled "1st controller"/"2nd controller"/etc - always meaning Wolf's own 0-indexed "controller 0"/"controller 1" - instead of asking for a raw slot number, closing the exact client-vs-controller 0-vs-1 confusion surfaced live earlier. Documents plainly that this can show what TYPE a slot last used but can't show or control WHICH physical controller becomes which slot - that's decided by Moonlight client-side, upstream of Wolf's API entirely. 2. Documents a full recovery procedure in the Wii U section for when Cemu's Input Settings Save button is cut off-screen (confirmed live: happens even maximized, at higher resolutions, and closing the window doesn't save) - an Alt-drag/Alt+F7 window-manager fix first, then editing Cemu's own controllerProfiles/controllerN.xml directly on the host (plain XML, not inside the container) as a full GUI bypass. Documents the key insight that made this actually work live: <mapping>/<button> pairs are universal SDL_CONTROLLER_BUTTON_* semantics (confirmed earlier against real captured profiles from different controller brands), so a working mapping can be copied verbatim into a different device's empty <mappings/> block without redoing the live button-capture in Cemu's GUI at all. Verified the redesigned manage.sh controllers flow end to end against a mocked docker compose logs matching the user's real log output (both the log-seen and no-logs-seen paths), plus the ordinal-suffix logic in isolation.

ever been assigned to that slot, identified by its own \`<uuid>\`/

controller brands: these values are universal SDL_CONTROLLER_BUTTON_*
|
||||
semantics, not raw per-device button indices** — so a complete, working
|
||||
\`<mappings>\` block can be copied verbatim from one \`<controller>\` entry
|
||||
into a different device's empty one in the same file (e.g. a
|
||||
newly-selected device whose Save got cut off, leaving it with
|
||||
\`<mappings />\` and nothing bound) without touching Cemu's GUI at all. If
|
||||
a slot ends up with more than one \`<controller>\` block and only one
|
||||
device is actually in use, deleting the stale block(s) removes any
|
||||
ambiguity about which one Cemu picks. Back up the file first
|
||||
(\`cp controllerN.xml controllerN.xml.bak\`) before hand-editing; no
|
||||
\`sudo\` needed, these files are written world-writable by Cemu itself.
|
||||
Close Cemu completely and relaunch for a hand-edited profile to take effect.
|
||||
|
||||
ROMs are mounted at \`/ROMs\` inside Desktop too, so Cemu's own File → Load
|
||||
can browse straight to \`/ROMs/wiiu/\` without needing ES-DE at all.
