closing Q8 Last iteration I named Pj_Silph.xgs as the route to the SE cue index, on the reasoning that XACT keeps cue->wave there. That route is dead, and the negative is properly bounded: its 533-byte entry is high entropy with no XGSF magic, +/-8 KB around it has none either, all 1.08 GB of sound.pak contains zero XGSF, SDBK and WBND, and the executable has no XACT or .xgs string anywhere. Control run first -- the same scan finds RIFF in BGM_001 exactly where the bank structure says it should be, so the scan works and the magic genuinely is not there. So the .xgs and .slb extensions came from the authoring tool and survived into shipped data that is not XACT at all. That goes in METHOD as a general trap: check for the magic before committing to a parser for the format an extension advertises. Writing an XACT parser would have been wasted work. What that leaves for the SE audio is undecodable-with-reach rather than pending: Static.slb has no wave boundaries, there is no project file, and none of the sound table's five records carries an offset. The bank is certainly the right one -- 8 353 472 bytes over 322 cues is 0.84 to 1.01 seconds each at the bitrates the disc uses elsewhere, exactly the shape of a bank of short effects. Only the index into it is missing, and it exists only at runtime. Q8 closes: vocabulary and bank decoded, the event binding a name match on the authors' own event names, and the audio explicitly something the port must source or author rather than extract. With this every MISSION row is answered.
