re: the voice region s leading chunk is the movie s OWN dialogue, and a guard puts it there

My own leading hypothesis -- that the leading chunk is an in-mission VOICE_D_*
line -- is refuted, on the route the port suggested: widen the enumeration past
the 95 manifest-bound movies and the byte-span test settles it without anyone
listening.

Scanning the stream for every trailer descriptor (the (id, 0x11) pair whose id
repeats at +0x800) gives the complete cue partition, mission lines included:
287 descriptors in a 116.2 MB window, all 287 carrying an id the 4280-name
registry names. Every one of the 17 leading spans is bracketed by
desc(N-1)..desc(N) where desc(N) is that movie s OWN cue id. Zero mission lines.

The mechanism is a guard in our own resolver. resolve_movie_voice_region takes
the predecessor trailer as the region start, guards it with
end - start < 1_500_000, and falls back to the .slb TOC anchor when that fails.
Cues with a true span over the guard: 17, of which 17 are stream-opening. Cues
under it: 78, of which 0. Perfect discrimination both ways. The anchor sits a
constant 504464 B after the true predecessor trailer on all 17, which is
unexplained.

Not established, and stated as such: this does NOT mean the export truncates N
seconds. The port s decode already has ADV s region at 359 s against a 137 s
movie, so it over-covers and the byte-to-time mapping is not linear. No XMA1
decoder in this container to check.

Also withdraws a claim this page had adopted from the port -- that chunks 1 and
2 are two stems of one performance. The port refuted its own claim by decoding:
S00A chunk 2 is digital silence, ADV chunk 2 is 0.60x chunk 1 with the residual
26.8 dB down. Equal duration was a shape match and Q10 s music census should not
have been carried across to voice on it.
