+## ✅ SOLVED (2026-08-26) — the mission scripts are readable as dialogue
+
+Built-in **64** (`request_script_message`) stages a symbol-table-1 reference in
+slot 0; the symbol is a message id (`MSG_VOICE_D_257`), and the caption table
+holds its text under `<id>_000_00`. **2683 of 2683** call sites across all 28
+stage scripts resolve — every one stages slot 0, every operand is type 6, every
+name has text. 1338 distinct names in six families.
+
+This was only reachable after `build_caption_text` was switched to the IXUD
+field table on 2026-08-25 (537 → 8800 lines); before that most of these names
+had nothing to resolve to, which is why the item sat open.

+Write-up + tool: [`structures/isl-message-dialogue-link.md`](structures/isl-message-dialogue-link.md),
+`tools/re-capture/isl_dialogue.py`.
+
+**Still open from this**: which *recording* plays for a line (the voice-bank
+binding is unresolved and a generic take is known to play against a specific
+subtitle); multi-page captions; the other five languages; and play order, since
+the tool prints script order without resolving phases or branches.
