+## The declined set, measured (2026-08-11)
+
+The module note said "a few multi-stream / quantized bodies remain" declined.
+Measured across all 166 `hidden/resource3d/*.xpr`:
+
+- **6 294 XBG7 resources, 5 480 decoded (87.1 %), 814 declined**, in **31 of 166**
+ containers. Worst: `Stage_S09` 64/380, `Stage_S06` 58/324, `ptc_pack` 57/136.
+- The declined set is **not** "a few hero bodies". By name prefix it is **492
+ `e*`** (enemy craft), **142 `f*`**, **73 `n*`**, **23 `eff*`**, plus destroyed
+ variants (`_rou_f402_dead`, `_rou_f302_base_dead`) and one weapon

+
+### A shortcut that does not work
+
+The resource descriptor's third word looked like a format/stream flag β decoded
+`g001β¦g003` carry `0x00010001` while declined `t170`/`t180` carry `0x00020004`,
+which reads temptingly as `(streams << 16) | format`. **It is not that.**
+Histogramming it over the whole disc puts decoded *and* declined resources at
+every value:
+
+```
+word[2] decoded declined
+0x00010001 4479 328
+0x00010002 126 27
+0x00010003 120 112
+0x00010004 142 84
+β¦ β¦ β¦
+```
+
+Its low half runs 1β¦0x52 and tracks sub-mesh count, not vertex format. **So
+decodability is not declared in the descriptor** β it is a property of whether
+the unit-normal anchor scan can locate `vb0`, which is exactly what the current
+code already tests. Anyone attacking this should not spend time on the
+descriptor: 229 of the declined resources even carry the *most* common
+`0x00010001` with under 1 KB of data, i.e. they are small meshes the scan has too
+little signal to anchor, not exotic formats.
