Project P.I.T.T. Piston Not Working: Diagnostic Checklist
Piston Not Working: Diagnostic Checklist: An attached assembly does not move as expected? Compare the head attachments before and after repositioning.
An attached assembly does not move as expected? Compare the head attachments before and after repositioning. If the head is intentionally switched off, its stationary position is not by itself evidence that the movement patch failed. These are diagnostics, not a guaranteed fix.
Separate the symptom from the assumed cause
An attached assembly does not move as expected. Record the piston switch state before moving its base. The 1.0.7 on/off behavior and 1.0.8 attached-object movement are separate documented changes.

Patch and evidence boundary
Update 1.0.8 permits moving and picking up pistons with head attachments following; 1.0.7 documents off locking position and on resuming movement. No force, range, timing or capacity value is claimed. If the failure persists, retain a before-and-after capture rather than asserting a missing level, an undocumented key or a numerical setting.
