Narrow the collision header to two fields plus a third used by five levels
Range measured: all 27 levels that carry collision, reading the 0x40-byte
header each.
Method: read +0x00, +0x04 and +0x08, then check +0x08..+0x40 for zero.
Result:
u32@+0x00 is 0x40 on 27 of 27 -- the header is self-sizing
u32@+0x04 is the payload size, 20 distinct values across the disc
bytes +0x08..+0x40 zero on 22 of 27
Five levels carry a large non-zero word at +0x08:
level 7 1248048 level 12 2541616
level 9 1766832 level 13 3376592
level 14 4060640
So the header is not two fields and 56 bytes of padding: there is a third field
most levels leave at zero and five use. Whether it is a size, an offset or a
second block's length is not established, and nothing measured here separates
those readings. Exposed as CollisionHeader::field_08.
Correction: the collision header was previously described as self-describing
across its full 0x40, which is true for 22 levels and overstates the case for
the other five.
Still not decoded: the payload. It contains ascending u32 runs on levels 0 and
2 -- level 0 at +280 with deltas 12, 12, 12 then a jump, level 2 at +13868 with
deltas 204, 204, 200, 196 -- but irregular deltas fit neither a flat table nor a
simple stride, and level 1's apparent run is a byte-shift false positive.
Nothing about the payload is asserted.
