Stores to I/O addresses with no register returned Unmapped and stopped the
machine. Hardware ignores them. Emulated writes there now pay their bus cost and
change nothing; host writes stay strict. The unmodeled internal memory control
register at 0x04xx0800 and all unused I/O reads remain diagnostics.
Rollback tests that used unused I/O as their failing word now run the block on
to a register that rejects the stored value: SIOMULTI2 outside multiplayer
mode, an RCNT GPIO serial IRQ, or 64-sample wave playback. Where no reachable
register can fail (JOYSTAT, POSTFLG/HALTCNT, IME, DMA3CNT), the test now checks
that the block commits and the unused word is ignored.

Add a dependency-free keypad state machine in gba-core, map KEYCNT, latch IF bit 12, and wake HALT through the existing interrupt gates. Sample complete CPU/DMA control writes once so transient byte values cannot create false requests.
Document the mGBA-style polling policy and its unverified hardware retrigger limits. Cover every button-state/selection pair, register masks, repeated requests, byte/word writes, failed-store isolation, DMA priority, ARM/Thumb IRQ return, BIOS IntrWait, and retained BIOS reset state.
Follow the restructured workspace and modular documentation. Validated on Darwin arm64: workspace and core/demo tests pass in debug and release, with Clippy, rustdoc, ten native window smoke tests, and terminal demos passing.
