+# Molotov Phase 2D: SDL3 Text Input (IME Preedit) & Gamepad Rumble Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Implement the SDL3 Text Input (with IME preedit composition for fcitx5 and ibus) and Gamepad Support (with physical glyph mapping and dual-motor force feedback rumble) in `molotov-core`, completing the native Linux I/O bridges for Molotov.
+
+**Architecture:** Bridges native desktop input methods and gamepads via SDL3 APIs. Manages in-progress IME composition strings (`SDL_EVENT_TEXT_EDITING`) and candidate window positioning (`SDL_SetTextInputArea`). Translates gamepad inputs to Android `KeyEvent` / `MotionEvent` codes and intercepts Android `Vibrator` JNI calls to drive gamepad motor and trigger rumble.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rust 1.75+, `libc`, `tracing`, `thiserror`.
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-29-molotov-architecture-design.md` (Sections 7.2 & 7.3)
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- **Language & Edition**: Rust 1.75+ (2021 edition), strictly zero Wine or Proton.
+- **License**: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later (GPL-3.0-or-later) with headers in all source files.
+- **IME Preedit Support**: Must support in-flight multi-byte character composition (CJK, accents) under Wayland and X11 without premature character commits.
+- **Accurate Glyph Rendering**: Maps physical controller layouts (Xbox, DualSense, Switch) accurately without inverted button prompts.
+- **Dual-Motor & Trigger Rumble**: Handles low/high frequency vibration effects and clamp durations.
+
+## Review Focus
+
+1. **Preedit Text Desynchronization**: Canceling or clearing an IME preedit composition must not leave orphan characters in the active text field.
+2. **Multi-Byte UTF-8 Boundary Splitting**: Cursor position calculations in preedit strings must strictly index on valid UTF-8 character boundaries.
+3. **Gamepad Disconnection & Hotplugging**: Disconnecting a controller during active rumble must cancel vibration timers without panics.
+4. **Vibration Amplitude Clamping**: Float/integer amplitudes from Android `VibrationEffect` must clamp to valid 16-bit unsigned motor ranges (`0..=65535`).
+5. **Simultaneous Multi-Controller Rumble**: Independent vibration actuation across multiple connected gamepads without cross-talk.
