sylph-decoder 7c3e063f78 re: a .t32 element carries no blend/alpha mode -- undecodable, with reach
Answers the port's ask about ptframe1/ptframe2, whose residual is uniquely higher on
flat pixels than edges and signed one direction -- a body-intensity difference.

Prior work covers .prm primitives and a refuted T8aD +0x04 bit; neither covers a
.t32 element. All 15 words of the 60-byte declaration entry are read: 3 are the
name, 8 constant, the rest kind, focus index, position and pivot. The frames are
kind 0, identical to every other plain sprite.

One candidate found and refuted by myself: T8aD +0x08 is the only word where both
frames agree uniquely on that screen, at 0x8050 -- but 38 sprites carry it
disc-wide, only 8 named frame, and the high byte tracks the archive. It is an
atlas/format word, not a mode.

Also records a false positive of my own test: +0x00 and +0x08 first read as
'separating the frames' because those words are the name string.

So any blend the port picks is authored. Reach: not looked at the executable's draw
path, where a mode selected in code rather than data would live.

//! Does a textured element's declaration carry anything that distinguishes the
//! two FRAME elements from every other element on the main menu?
//!
//! `sylpheed-port` asks for the blend/alpha mode of `ptframe1`/`ptframe2`. Prior
//! work is on `.prm` PRIMITIVES (`ui-prm-blend-mode.md`, undecodable with reach —
//! no field, the declaration words are constant) and on a refuted `T8aD +0x04`
//! bit. Neither covers a `.t32` element's own declaration entry, which is 60
//! bytes and mostly unread.
//!
//! This dumps every declaration entry on the menu and reports, per 4-byte word,
//! whether the two frames share a value that no other element has. A word that
//! separates exactly those two is a candidate; one that does not, is not.
//!
//! cargo run -p sylpheed-formats --example decl_entry_diff
