The squad parser writes actives element i to club-item slot r15d+i, and r15d
is shared scratch that other atom handlers clobber. Which slots are filled
therefore reveals the index the parse actually started from, which is the
open question behind the regression in vault section 18.
probe_resident_fields.py now prints the slot index of every populated entry
plus the empty ones, and verify_kits.sh runs it next to the map census so one
command reports both residency and whether the squad survived.
The kit clone driver FUN_1801c3480 gates on record+0x60 == 4, and no
instruction stores that immediate, so the value had to be read off a
genuinely resident record. This dumps cardtype, cardsubtypeid, itemState,
category, teamid and teamkittypetechid for both the player vector and the
club-item vector, resolving the store through the same chain as the census.
Result: all 18 resident players carry category 1 and the five club-item
slots are null, which identifies +0x60 as a per-collection tag rather than
item data.
