re: _all/_child is not a convention (1 of 166); eff_n0071 is a live explosion

Browse Source 
Refuted, and it was my own suggestion from last turn. Across all 166 .xpr
packages the _child suffix occurs in ONE file, Stage_S24.xpr, with exactly one
stem, stg24_04, 20 occurrences. Across the 105394 distinct parsed pak names -
record names, field names and string values - names ending _all or _child occur
ZERO times. So the pair is mesh-internal to a single model and never reaches the
data tables; the tables only ever name the bare stg24_04. n = 1 is not a
convention, and the multi-part mesh mechanism the corpus actually owns is
xbg7-mesh's grouped index/vertex pools, which is a different thing.

The orphan tables' five unique effects split three ways, chased through PARSED
names rather than .xpr bytes:

  eff_n0071                  LIVE - Generic.GameResourceID in DefTables.pak and
                             an Explosion record's ExplosionFxModel in all six
                             GP_MAIN_GAME_* archives (x6 = one user)
  eff_e0033                  a mesh in Base.xpr, but no data reference
  eff_e0058/_e0059/_e0060    neither a mesh nor any reference

So one "abandoned" entry is not abandoned: the orphan LOD tables list an effect
the shipped _test table omits while the game still binds it elsewhere.

Control recorded so the negative has force: effect names bind through a whole
family of fields - Effect_Paralyze (2874 values), HitFxModel (738), ShellModel
(516), JetFxModel_000/001/002, MuzzleFlashFxModel_Loop - so a value that
resolves through none of them really is unreferenced, not merely missed by a
narrow search.

All fifteen artefacts byte-identical.

## ❌✅ 2026-08-28 — `_all`/`_child` is not a convention; `eff_n0071` is a live explosion
Item (a).
❌ **Refuted, and it was my own suggestion.** Across all **166 `.xpr`** packages
the `_child` suffix occurs in **one file** (`Stage_S24.xpr`) with **one stem**
(`stg24_04`); across the **105 394 distinct parsed pak names**, `_all`/`_child`
occur **0 times**. The pair is mesh-internal to a single model and never reaches
the data tables. **n = 1 is not a convention** — and the composite mechanism the
corpus actually owns is `xbg7-mesh`'s grouped index/vertex pools.
✅ **The orphan tables' five unique effects split three ways**: `eff_n0071` is
**live** — a `Generic.GameResourceID` in `DefTables.pak` and an `Explosion`
record's **`ExplosionFxModel`** in all six `GP_MAIN_GAME_*` archives (×6 = one
user). `eff_e0033` has a mesh in `Base.xpr` but no data reference. `_e0058`,
`_e0059`, `_e0060` have **neither**.
So one "abandoned" entry isn't abandoned: the orphan LOD tables list an effect
the shipped `_test` table omits while the game still binds it elsewhere.
⚠️ Control recorded: effect names bind through a family of fields —
`Effect_Paralyze` (2 874), `HitFxModel` (738), `ShellModel` (516),
`JetFxModel_00N`, `MuzzleFlashFxModel_Loop` — so a value resolving through none
of them is genuinely unreferenced, not missed by a narrow search.
