The control problem
Vessel commands must behave predictably before they reach real hardware.
Throttle and steering integration becomes risky when simulated behaviour, real interfaces and supervisory logic use different command contracts. The control layer should remain stable while hardware adapters change underneath it.
One deterministic control contract
Keep high-level vessel software independent from hardware-specific command plumbing.
Supervised control path
Fit into vessel-level dead-man, emergency-stop and health-supervision logic.
SIM / REAL continuity
Develop and test against the same command behaviour before final vessel hardware is available.
What Engine & Steering provides
A reusable control interface between software and vessel actuation.

Where Engine & Steering fits
Separate vessel decision logic from propulsion hardware.
Use the same control contract from 2ndHelm, Navigator, client autonomy logic or other supervisory systems while adapting the final interface to the selected vessel hardware.
