bc48fa576d re: the config sections are real disc data -- 64/65, with a clean 0/54 control
Testing every literal key from data/config-keys.txt against the 3496
distinct IDXD record keys with tag_hash:

  section names (arg to sub_82448AA0) -> 64 / 65 present
  field  keys  (arg to sub_824482D0) ->  0 / 54 present

The two classes are each other's control and the dissociation is
total, confirming the model: sub_82448AA0 finds a RECORD keyed by
tag_hash(name); sub_824482D0 reads a FIELD whose name is a literal
string in the pool, so none of them can be a record key.

The single absent section is LANGUAGE -- the one real section in the
disc-root config.ini.  The same API serves both stores.

This deflates my own earlier framing: I had listed "64 sections whose
hardcoded fallbacks are worth pinning".  They are not fallbacks; all
but one are real data.  STAGENN_UNIT_MAX is the genuine exception,
because its name is built at runtime from the stage index.

The artefact now names the pak each record lives in -- notably
GP_HANGAR_ARSENAL.pak holds WEAPONS, UNITS, Camera, ControlTweak,
Rendering, AUTO_SETTINGS and IGNORE.

Docs + regenerated artefact; ISL artefacts byte-identical.

731c3cd849 re: the section reader is a generic IDXD accessor; UNIT_MAX absence re-tested
Resolving the r4 string at every sub_82448AA0 / sub_824482D0 call site
gives 65 section names and 54 int keys (data/config-keys.txt) -- far
more than the 400-byte config.ini holds -- and BASE_INFO, SYSTEM,
MISSIONS and FONTS are all present as IDXD record keys on the disc.  So
it is a generic named-section accessor over the .tbl containers, not
"the INI reader" as I labelled it yesterday.

My first re-test was invalid: IDXD record keys are tag_hash, not
name_hash.  Scanning with name_hash returned 0 for STAGENN_UNIT_MAX and
0 for every control name too -- the control is what exposed it.

Redone with tag_hash: 7750/7750 entries parsed, 190782 records, 3496
distinct keys, controls BASE_INFO/SYSTEM/MISSIONS/FONTS found, and
STAGE01..33_UNIT_MAX -> 0 records.  With the literal search and
config.ini printed in full, the section exists nowhere on the disc, so
PLANE=200 / VESSEL=20 for every stage now rests on a controlled test.

Docs + one new artefact; ISL artefacts byte-identical.
