re: EnumWeapon_EX5.tbl adds exactly one weapon; a tutorial expectation refuted

Browse Source 
Diffed S28's bespoke weapon table against the common one. The disc has exactly
three weapon tables, and each is a single EnumWeapon record whose FIELD NAMES
are the weapons - the Enumerate-style declaration shape again:

  EnumWeapon_Test.tbl       126 names
  EnumWeapon_EX5.tbl        127 names = the same 126, same order, plus one
  EnumWeapon_Tutorial.tbl     9 names = a strict subset of Test
  union                     127

The whole of S28's bespoke table is one extra weapon,
Weapon_TCAF_Ship_AAGun_EX5. Zero removals, identical order on the shared 126.

That explains one of weapon-struct-runtime's five "never instantiated" disc
records: the AA-gun variant is declared by EnumWeapon_EX5.tbl only, and that
table belongs to S28 alone, which the captured save was not playing.

It also refutes that document's expectation that "running the tutorial should
instantiate the _Ttrl pair". It will not: EnumWeapon_Tutorial.tbl's nine names
are Weapon_NULL, Weapon_ADAN_Puppy_NoseGun, Weapon_DSaber_P_wep_{01_Beam,
02_Missile,58_Laser} and Weapon_TCAF_DeltaSaber_{Beam,Cannon,Missile,
ASMissile} - neither _Ttrl weapon is among them. Four of the five
uninstantiated records are declared by no weapon table on the disc at all.

EX is still not identified but narrowed hard: the entire content of S28's own
weapon table is a single _EX5 AA-gun variant, and the only other _EX5 name on
the disc is UN_f001_TCAF_DeltaSaber_T_EX5.

All fifteen artefacts byte-identical.

## ✅🔴 2026-08-28 — `EnumWeapon_EX5.tbl` adds exactly one weapon, and a tutorial expectation is refuted
Item (a): diff S28's bespoke weapon table against the common one.
✅ **The disc has exactly three weapon tables**, and each is a **single
`EnumWeapon` record whose *field names* are the weapons** — the `Enumerate`-style
declaration shape again:
```
EnumWeapon_Test.tbl 126 names
EnumWeapon_EX5.tbl 127 names = the same 126, same order, PLUS one
EnumWeapon_Tutorial.tbl 9 names = a strict subset of Test
union 127
```
**The whole of S28's bespoke table is one extra weapon:
`Weapon_TCAF_Ship_AAGun_EX5`.** Zero removals, identical order on the shared 126.
✅ **That explains one of [[weapon-struct-runtime]]'s five "never instantiated"
disc records** — the AA-gun variant is declared by `EnumWeapon_EX5.tbl` only, and
that table belongs to **S28 alone**, which the captured save was not playing.
🔴 **And it refutes that document's expectation.** It says "Running the tutorial
should instantiate the `_Ttrl` pair". It will not: `EnumWeapon_Tutorial.tbl`'s
nine names are `Weapon_NULL`, `Weapon_ADAN_Puppy_NoseGun`,
`Weapon_DSaber_P_wep_{01_Beam,02_Missile,58_Laser}` and
`Weapon_TCAF_DeltaSaber_{Beam,Cannon,Missile,ASMissile}` — **neither
`Weapon_TCAF_DeltaSaber_NoseGun_Ttrl` nor `_Laser_Ttrl` is among them.** Four of
the five uninstantiated records (`_NoseGun_Ttrl`, `_Laser_Ttrl`, `_NoseGun_None`,
`Weapon_ADAN_Attacker_S_GunTurret`) are **declared by no weapon table on the
disc at all** — a static answer to a question the runtime capture left open.
❔ **`EX` is still not identified**, but it is narrowed hard: the entire content of
S28's own weapon table is a single `_EX5` AA-gun variant, and the only other
`_EX5` name on the disc is `UN_f001_TCAF_DeltaSaber_T_EX5`.
