Sylpheed RE agent c9dc8dd4db re: the stage drift is navigation, not the save -- slot 01 is deterministically Stage 02
Refutes my own claim from the previous commit that slot 01 is an auto-save whose
restored mission drifts.  savedata has not been written since 2026-08-23; every run
today left it untouched (only the .gpd profile files moved), and there is exactly
one save, so a wandering save-list cursor cannot explain it either.

Decoded the save statically (GDHA + zlib at 0x92, 545 bytes): only SHAB record 0
carries clear data, records 1-15 are zeroed.  Three independent readings agree it
is Stage 02 -- the 324773 ms clear time is the 05:24.77 that SESSION-2026-08-11
documents for Stage 01, the 4101 points match weapon-datasheet-runtime.md's
"Stage 02, At Standby, 5% clear, 4101 P", and the GHAD block at tag+8 gives
+52 = 2.  Stage 02 is the Acropolis escort mission, which is exactly the roster the
last run produced.

So the odd run out was the S01 "Glasner Training Area" one -- a TUTORIAL, reached
because the nav issued dpad-down + A from a state never confirmed to be the main
menu.  Fix is two guards: verify screen_id reads `menu` immediately before the
dpad, and assert Acropolis is in the definition table before comparing rosters.

Caveats kept: the GHAD field base was not isolated by the search (7 candidates, 3
giving stage 2 -- tag+8 chosen because it agrees with the other two readings), and
the tutorial mis-selection was not demonstrated by re-running the emulator.
