SAVER_INPUT: interpret the capture reason, not a public stop-code contract

SAVER_INPUT (0x0000F003) classifies a diagnostic capture where the diagnostic capture concerns input delivery or routing. SAVER values are diagnostic categories; the public symbol does not provide a stable bugcheck-parameter contract that identifies one defective driver by itself.

Capture the evidence that belongs to this category

Preserve keyboard/pointer/touch events, focus/capture owner, input queue, shell routing, UI-thread state, and event timestamps. Also keep the Windows build, dump type, producer, WER/event correlation, and relevant process or package identity.

What the investigation should prove

The goal is to trace one input event from device/provider through routing to the intended consumer. Use the dump and surrounding events to find the first concrete blocked transition or failing component; do not manufacture parameter meanings from the numeric SAVER value.
