Tie vertex regions are two encodings, not one; mark Phase 3's port done
Read up on the five commits that landed sincef1f0b51. The headline ise5cd3df, which retracts my tie vertex position claim: the stride is not 16. The LOD1/LOD2 sharing evidence survives, because it is stride-insensitive, but the element layout and the 95,612 count do not. This commit works on what that retraction opened rather than trying to rescue it. The split is visible in the region's first word. A VIF code word has bit 31 set: first word is a VIF code word 2,007 first word is not 2,102 (levels 0-5, every record with vert_size > 0) So roughly half of all tie records address their vertex data as VIF packets and half as a flat 16-byte array. Flat records repeat a 16-byte unit whose last word is constant at 0x00001000 and whose third word walks down f000, e000, d000, c000; VIF records start with e.g. 0xf5c1a3c5, cmd 0x75 num 193. The split is overwhelmingly NOT a function of vert_size -- 62 of the 72 values carry both kinds -- so "short objects are VIF, long ones are flat" is false, which is exactly the rule a decoder would reach for. The 10 that carry one kind are the rarest sizes, not a band. This also explains why the flat reading looked convincing rather than arbitrary. In a flat record, i16[6] is 0x1000 and i16[7] is 0x0000 at the end of each unit -- the (-1, 0) / (1, 0) corner pair a texture coordinate makes in 12.4 fixed point. That is where the earlier texcoord reading came from, and it holds cleanly on the half of the records that are flat. It was never wrong about those; it was applied to all of them. It does not settle the stride. It says the region has to be dispatched on encoding before anything inside it can be read, which is why no single flat stride fits every record. Asserted in tie_vertex_regions_split_between_vif_and_flat. ALSO: the roadmap still listed two Phase 3 items as open thata94704dhas already done -- "Port the masking and code-identity logic" and "Relocation::func and Relocation::data". Both exist, are exported, and the masking is verified against the disc: the masked form of a level-01 function (858 words at 0x2a3b88) is found exactly once on each of the other 26 overlays. Both now marked done with the evidence attached, rather than left stale. I ran clippy --fix over overlay_reloc.rs, saw it rewrite 110 lines of the new Phase 3 code, reverted it. The changes were cosmetic -- redundant `as u32` and reflow -- but it is not my code and the remaining warnings are the author's to address. Its 11 warnings are pre-existing and left alone. 258 tests.

## The tie vertex region has two encodings, not one
|
||||
|
||||
The stride retraction found the vertex region is not a uniform array -- some runs
|
||||
4 bytes, some 16, run length varying. The split that accounts for it is visible
|
||||
in the region's first word: a VIF code word has bit 31 set.
|
||||
|
||||
first word is a VIF code word 2,007
|
||||
first word is not 2,102
|
||||
(levels 0-5, every record with vert_size > 0)
|
||||
|
||||
The two kinds look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
flat, class 0 rec 0, 1024 bytes VIF, class 1 rec 0
|
||||
+0 0x27667942 0x0062fbf1 +0 0xf5c1a3c5 CODE cmd 0x75 num 193

|

+24 0x1000e000 0x00001000 +12 0x00001000
|
||||
... 16-byte units repeating, third word
|
||||
walking down f000, e000, f000,
|
||||
d000, d000, c000, c000; last
|
||||
word constant at 0x00001000
|
||||
|
||||
So roughly half of all tie records address their vertex data as **VIF packets**
|
||||
and half as a **flat 16-byte array**. The split is overwhelmingly *not* a
|
||||
function of `vert_size` -- 62 of the 72 values carry both kinds -- so "short
|
||||
objects are VIF, long ones are flat" is false, which is the rule a decoder would
|
||||
otherwise reach for. The 10 that carry one kind are the rarest sizes, not a band.
|
||||
|
||||
This does not settle the stride. It says the region needs to be dispatched on the
|
||||
encoding before anything inside it can be read, and it explains why the flat
|
||||
reading fit some records well -- `i16[6]` being `0x1000` and `i16[7]` `0x0000` at
|
||||
the end of each 16-byte unit is the (-1, 0) / (1, 0) corner pair that a texture
|
||||
coordinate produces in 12.4 fixed point, which is where the earlier texcoord
|
||||
reading came from and why it looked convincing on the records that are flat.
