Two things, neither of which moves a verdict.
The port pointed out that rejecting on DECLARED size replaces one error with its
mirror: an element scaled ABOVE 100% could cover the screen from a smaller
declared size, and my guard would silently exclude it. Checked against the disc
first: across 921 keyless elements, ZERO cover the screen only via scale, so the
mirror case does not occur here. Adopted anyway, because the construction does
not need that to stay true -- coverage is now tested per instant against the
scaled size, alongside the opacity test, since both animate on the same ramp.
80 forced instances before and after, split 42 .prm / 38 .tbm, unchanged.
Second: an attempt to upgrade the 38 .tbm verdicts from inferred to decoded by
finding the texture and measuring its alpha coverage. It cannot be located. Not
in its bundle (no RATC record, no sprite-table entry, for any of the 13 names);
not a file (no .tbm anywhere on the disc); not a pak entry (its archive's hashed
TOC contains none of the name, its uppercase form, its stem, .t32/.tga/.xpr
variants, or ui\\ and tex\\ prefixes, across four archives); and not visible in
our composite, since compose skips an element with no resolvable sprite, so we
draw no pixels for a .tbm at all -- and no committed capture covers a screen
that has one.
So a second reading survives and is recorded rather than excluded: a .tbm may
contribute no pixels, in which case its paint position is INERT rather than
correct. That leaves the 38 harmless instead of right -- a different claim with
the same consequence. Distinguishing them needs a capture of GP_SAVE_LOAD,
GP_BUNK or GP_DEBRIEFING_PILOTLOG, all behind the A fault.
One upgrade: pfbase.tbm's first position is MEASURED, not inferred -- it is
element 0 of the save/load frame and the order read off the running game starts
[0, 1, 2, ...]. Twelve of the thirteen .tbm names still rest on the rule.
