Sylpheed RE agent 31b5c2bd9e re: refute the projectile hypothesis; the count inflation is 2x duplication + arrivals
Three checks kill "the fast turrets are shots":
 - persistence: 42/42 survived 15s, including 22/22 of the FAST (>300/s) ones;
 - hull at the documented pos+0x154 is a clean per-type constant -- 1000.0 for
   DeltaSaber_T, 100.0 for e007_Turret, with one turret at 79.0 (damaged);
 - the speed was never suspicious: isl-builtins.md already records e007's
   MaximumVelocity 500 / CruisingVelocity 280 and notes the data models turrets as
   mobile.  My premise "a turret is a fixed emplacement" was an inference from the
   NAME that the corpus had already contradicted from the DATA.

The inflated count is two measured effects, neither mis-typing: exact 2x
duplication (64 raw -> 32 deduped, every per-name count halving, commonest offset
gap 0x1000 = one page), and a growing population (42 -> 60 raw in 15s, matching
the documented wave arrivals).  So "101 vs 42" compared different mission times
with at least one count un-deduplicated.

Left open: whether the earlier 101 was raw or deduped (it is odd, so not a pure 2x
artifact); whether the 0x1000 spacing is a real second copy or page aliasing; and
which of the two enumerations is the entity list, since they describe different
sets.
