Sliders not responding to "Consumed" MIDI CCs

Now that I've had a bit more time, there are a number of hurdles with using this method.

Issues Encountered

MIDI Learn disappears
The "MIDI Learn" option no longer appears in the right-click context menu of knobs — unless an automationId has been manually assigned in the Properties panel.

automationId overrides control callbacks
Assigning an automationId disables the knob's regular controlCallback, which is where most of my knob logic lives (e.g., updating processors, linked components, states, etc.).

Workaround via automation callback
You can attach a callback to a specific automation and call the original controlCallback logic from there — but this adds boilerplate and breaks modularity.

Avoiding feedback loops crashes HISE
Trying to assign a knob as the target of its own automation (to bypass issue #2) results in an infinite loop that crashes HISE.

Controller numbers don’t carry over
If you switch the automationId to a new target, the MIDI CC assignment doesn't carry over. It must be learned again manually — making it difficult to share CC control across multiple processors or targets.
