Sylpheed RE agent e8158f2dfd re: Stage\script.tbl's 11 non-MISSION fields, and the mission dialogue table
structures/mission-script-ssb.md owns this manifest and names its 40
fields but never read the 11 that are not MISSION<n> = StageNN.ssb.
They are DIALOG_MESSAGE, DIALOG_LOCAL_STRING, FONT (+size), TEXT_POS,
TEXT_LINES and the five pgmsg_*.prt.  Two sibling records were also
unread: GP_TEST (PATH = dat\GP_TEST\, a debug archive not on the disc)
and TEXTS (a second text style).

Probed 7 values x 33 prefixes x 41 archives.  One resolves:
message\MissionDialogMessage.tbl, in all six GP_MAIN_GAME_* paks --
200 records, 25280 bytes, every name S<NN>_P<n>_<KIND> with five kinds
40 each (HINT_PAUSE, HINT, OBJECTIVE, GRAPH, LOSE), fields positional
and tagged 0..3, each value a message key.  An index from (stage,
phase, kind) to the localised strings, on the same S<NN>_P<n> keying
the ISL corpus already uses.

Control: the 40 stage-phases span stages 1-16 and 24-29 -- a subset of
the 28 shipped, and the six with no hints are exactly 18-23, the
tutorials.  A fifth independent route to the story/tutorial split, and
it gives the phase count per stage.

The other six do not resolve, with the control in the same sweep:
MissionDialog_local_string.tbl and all five pgmsg_*.prt are not a pak
entry under any of the 33 prefixes, while
message\MissionDialogMessage.tbl and Stage\script.tbl both resolve in
6 archives.

name_hash is CASE-INSENSITIVE (message\ == Message\); tag_hash is not.

New structure doc, artefact and regenerator; the other five artefacts
regenerate byte-identical.
