+ * Transistors: NPN and PNP bipolars, N- and P-channel MOSFETs.
+ *
+ * All four are the same device to this engine — a channel between pin 1 and
+ * pin 3 that the control pin on pin 2 opens and closes — so they share one
+ * definition factory and differ only in the polarity of the turn-on test and in
+ * which mistakes are worth warning about. Pin order is the physical TO-92 one,
+ * control terminal in the middle: emitter/base/collector, source/gate/drain.
+ *
+ * Turning on takes BOTH terminals into account, never the control pin alone. An
+ * NPN conducts when its base is above its emitter, so an NPN whose emitter is
+ * already sitting on the 5 V rail stays off no matter what its base does — the
+ * single most common reason a beginner's high-side switch does nothing.
+ *
+ * The channel terminal is read EXCLUDING this device's own contribution, and
+ * that is load-bearing rather than defensive. An emitter follower pulls its own
+ * emitter up to what it is switching; read plainly, the device would then see
+ * base and emitter at the same level, decide Vbe had collapsed, turn off, drop
+ * the emitter, turn on again, and oscillate forever at the switching delay. The
+ * exclusion asks the question that actually decides conduction: would current
+ * flow if this device were not already conducting?
+ *
+ * WHAT THIS MODEL IS NOT. There is no linear region and no gain: the device is
+ * saturated or cut off, nothing between. There is no Vbe and no Vce(sat), so a
+ * follower's output does not sit 0.7 V below its base — the engine has no
+ * voltage between 0 and 5 V to put it at (see resistor.js). And the control pin
+ * is a pure high-Z input drawing no base current, which is exactly why the
+ * unlimited-base warning below has to exist: the model cannot punish a missing
+ * base resistor by melting, so it says so instead. A MOSFET's intrinsic body
+ * diode is not modelled either, so an off device never conducts backwards.
+ *
+ * A conducting device passes drive strength through unchanged (conduction.js),
+ * so a transistor wired collector-to-rail and emitter-to-ground still reports
+ * the short circuit it would really be.
