ReaperOfVeriod 690092dfb6 Disconfirm the ten-entry table lead from the region after shrub
Range measured: level 0, 16047040..16737344.

Treating the ten entries' low halves as offsets from the region start lands
on blocks exactly 148 bytes apart, the first nine of which begin 08 00
followed by a 16-bit id stepping by 0x40. That reads as a pointer table and
it is a coincidence.

Walking the same 148-byte stride across the rest of the region, only 14 of
4657 blocks start with 08 00. The first nine agree, then the pattern breaks
completely -- id deltas go from a steady 0x40 to 0x801, 0xf510 and
negative values.

Eight consecutive values at a constant stride is much more than chance
should produce and much less than a structure needs. The lead committed an
entry ago is therefore disconfirmed, and the region remains unidentified:
real, non-zero data, bounded, and unopened beyond its first ~150 bytes.

The open question is unchanged and is where the next attempt should start:
the 690,304 bytes on level 0 between the last shrub class and the constant
trailer.
