They are start / read / stop of one of 32 per-phase stopwatches, not
flag operations. 123-127 keep timer_* -- that is the mission timer,
five scalars at [phase+304..320], a different clock.
Artefact check: 84 lines changed across 5 files and all 84 pair
exactly with their old-name partners once column padding is
normalised (0 removed lines without an old name, 0 added lines
without a new one). data/isl-timers.txt reproduces the same
675/675, 11.2 % control, 82/1 and identical histograms, which is
what shows the rename is cosmetic.
Also withdraws a label from the previous commit: sub_8230C398 is NOT
the message pump. It runs every frame but drains nothing -- a state
machine on [0x828E1F8C] that only allocates, builds strings, looks up
and PUSHES. And bus+8216 is weak evidence: sub_82254A08 is a generic
map find with ~120 sites, and the key looked up is a pointer, not a
tag. The open handle is now the ring buffer at bus+4, not bus+8216.
