re: EnumLODSet_test.tbl is the story campaign's live LOD table; S25 premise withdrawn

The question was why S25 is absent from the DefTables +-path families. The
premise is withdrawn: it was an artifact of listing DISTINCT values of
LodEnumTable. S25 is not missing anything - it shares EnumLODSet_test.tbl with
the sixteen story stages, and test is in the list. Counting distinct values
hides who uses them; join per user.

The per-stage join: EnumLODSet_test.tbl / EnumGameModel_test.tbl serve 17
stages - all of S01-S16 plus S25. The five challenge stages S24, S26, S27, S28,
S29 have bespoke tables. Hangar.xpr has no pair at all. 17 + 5 + 1 = 23 objects
carrying a StageResource.

So the test-named table is the live LOD and model table for the whole story
campaign - the strongest case yet of "a test_-named table can be live", serving
17 of the 22 missions.

Eight shipped tables that nothing references: the family covers only 11 tags
(S01, S02, S16, S24, S26-S29, Tutorial, test, Test) and is NOT per stage -
S03-S15, S17-S23 and S25 have none. Seven tags are referenced; S01, S02, S16 and
Test are present in DefTables.pak with zero references disc-wide, i.e. 8 orphan
tables. "Early per-stage LOD sets, abandoned when the campaign was pointed at
the shared test table" is a reading, not a measurement.

Scope note recorded so the family is not mistaken for a stage one:
EnumLODSet/EnumGameModel is overwhelmingly an EQUIPMENT family - 116 of the 130
referenced values are bare Equip_EnumGameModel_wep_NN.tbl names reached from
PlayerLOD, WingmanLOD, PlayerMotion and WingmanMotion (58 distinct each); only
the 14 stage-tagged values use the + path form.

All fifteen artefacts byte-identical.
