sylph-decoder 2dba970c29 re: the dialog id to pak-entry join is not positional -- hypothesis refuted
GP_DIALOG has exactly 140 entries against the table's 70 records, a 2:1 ratio that
would make the unbound join an ordering question. It does not hold: adjacent
pairing gives identical element-name sets on 2 of 65 pairs, halves pairing on 0.
GP_TITLE's language pairs share element sets exactly, so identical sets are the
signature there; in GP_DIALOG almost nothing matches.

Residual and unexplained: the only two adjacent pairs that DO match are entries 0/1
and 2/3, and 2/3 is the DIFFICULTY build.

A reading I am not asserting: dialog text may be baked into language-specific
sprites, which would explain the 63 by construction but leaves the 2 needing their
own explanation. Not tested.

The join stays unbound; positional ordering is now ruled out, which narrows where
to look next.

//! How is `GP_DIALOG.pak` organised? Testing whether dialog id maps positionally.
//!
//! The dialog table gives name -> id (70 records, `DLG_SELECT_DIFFICULTY` = 2000)
//! and the disc gives a unique four-button build at GP_DIALOG entries 2/3. Nothing
//! joins them. If the archive were laid out in table order, or in id order, the
//! join would be positional — this checks.
//!
//! cargo run -p sylpheed-formats --example dialog_pak_shape
