Sylpheed RE agent 4dcb2f2719 re: find the mission wave data — stage records and the UnitGroup squadron roster
Sweeping the 811 unnamed IDXD objects in GP_MAIN_GAME_E.pak by schema turned up
schema 3c9ae32e: the per-stage definition record. 23 of them, one per stage,
each naming its background, resource package, collision set, message set,
nameplates, MapMesh/MapPath and EnumerateSquadron = UnitGroup_S<NN>.tbl.

That resolves two open threads at once:

  - MapPath = test.rgn hashes to 0x3506e972, a REGN object in MiscBin.pak, and
    MapMesh = test.col to 0x2cf7eb47, an MCOL object. REGN is a stage's map
    path data; MCOL is its collision mesh.

  - stage\UnitGroup_S02.tbl (0x019fd129, in all six language paks) is the
    Stage 02 squadron roster: 112 records, 112 squadron IDs, and a field
    vocabulary of FormationID / AIID / SideID / Count / DisableInterval, plus
    the unit model (UN_e010_ADAN_Attacker_S and friends, which match the XBG7
    mesh names we already decode), the MessageSet and the pilot character.

DisableInterval is the first direct evidence of the arrival-timing knob, which
is what the user's reframing predicted: the mission has a schedule with
parameters, not a fixed roster.

Container layout is only partly read. The 112x16 entry array was confirmed by
its boundary — keys increase for exactly 112 entries and break at 0x708, where
the next section header sits — not assumed. pak dump mislabels this file's
first key as its schema.

Refuted and recorded: the 16-byte record key is not the squadron ID's name
hash. name_hash("TCN001") = 0xd639f1a4 but the keys start 0x659aff47; 0 of 112
match.

Still open: the per-record payload fields, the meaning of the key, where the
interval values actually live, and the missing S17-S23 stage records.
