Let a controller claim the empty Player 1 slot on first input - #1864
Conversation
When slot 0 was assigned to a controller that is no longer connected, noteGamepadButton bailed out because there was no occupant to displace, so a built-in controller stuck on P2 could never regain P1. Treat an empty or disconnected P1 slot as claimable: the first device that sends real gamepad input takes slot 0. Connected active occupants are still never displaced.

ChangesController assignment
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The first gamepad input can claim an empty or disconnected Player 1 slot, but stale device discovery may incorrectly reassign an active Player 1, and a disabled slot may retain inconsistent ownership state. This could redirect controls or leave saved and visible controller state out of sync, so the PR is not merge-ready until these transitions are corrected or explicitly accepted.

Refresh the cached device list before checking Player 1.
getAssignedDeviceForSlot(0) searches only detectedDevices, but noteGamepadButton does not refresh that list. If the connected Player 1 device is absent from the cache, occupant becomes null. The occupant == null branch can then assign a later device to slot 0 without checking sessionActiveIdentifiers, replacing the active Player 1 assignment.
Resolve the assignment through current InputManager state or refresh detectedDevices before this check. Add a regression test for this sequence.
