Chasing the reach I recorded this morning found the binding it said was missing.
Every DLG_ string in the image is pointed at by one aligned word at a 12-byte
stride: {u32 handler, u32 id, u32 name_ptr}, spanning 0x820A0A2C..0x820A0D68 with
three distinct handlers. Complete -- 70 names, 70 records, none unmatched -- and the
ids are banded and monotonic with a single gap at 24. Read from the image directly.
Refutation attempt on the shared reach, which both agents had recorded: 'another
four-button dialog with the same rows would be indistinguishable'. Scanned every
build in every pak for four buttons within 6 px of 259/329/399/469. Control found
both incumbents; zero rivals exist anywhere on the disc. So the geometric
identification is unique disc-wide, which is stronger than what either of us
claimed.
Still unbound: id 2000 to a pak entry. The tie remains uniqueness plus the oracle
capture, not a pointer.
