Stop wall-jump climbing by briefly overriding steering, then hand control back smoothly

Spamming the wall-jump towards the same wall can climb forever, and cutting steering completely feels like a trap. Here is a short override of steering that blends back to full control, so the jump leaves the wall but the player still feels in charge.

Why this works

Control that returns in a jolt feels like a glitch, and control that never leaves lets players cheat the wall. Taking steering away briefly, then handing it back a little at a time, makes the push-off clear and the return smooth.

When not to use it

Do not use it in games where players expect full control at every moment, such as precise platformers built on tiny corrections, or when walls are far apart. Let the player steer freely and rely on level design to stop climbing.
