Research direction

Start by tracing the controller/touch input path into menu action handling, focusing on the input_l2_axis example and the button-pressed behavior described in the issue. Define whether release, hold, or press should trigger actions and how secondary-hold activation behaves; the issue does not name files or tests to use for verification.
