Owner

Part of Epic: shared game shell.

One input layer that games query as abstract actions (left, right, up, down, a, b, pause) plus raw pointer for aim games. Touch overlays (virtual d-pad/buttons) declared by the manifest. Gamepad API polling.

Acceptance criteria

Action mapping per game via manifest with sensible defaults
Keyboard with key repeat suppression and buffering helpers
Touch: virtual controls and swipe gestures; no page scroll/zoom while playing
Gamepad: standard mapping, hot-plug
Inputs are paused when the tab is hidden
