 // CHANGELOG
 // (minor and older changes stripped away, please see git history for details)
+//  2025-10-19: Inputs: Revert previous change to allow for io.ClearInputKeys() on focus-out not losing gamepad state.
 //  2025-09-23: Inputs: Minor optimization not submitting gamepad input if packet number has not changed.
 //  2025-09-18: Call platform_io.ClearPlatformHandlers() on shutdown.
 //  2025-04-30: Inputs: Fixed an issue where externally losing mouse capture (due to e.g. focus loss) would fail to claim it again the next subsequent click. (#8594)

     When using Emscripten 4.0.10+, backend now defaults to IMGUI_IMPL_WEBGPU_BACKEND_DAWN
