+ * **The tile table is the streaming unit, and until 2026-09-20 it could not be.** It was a flat

+ * real, and they are one decision rather than three:
+ *
+ * - **`tileSize` is in the header**, so a reader can work out the grid. Without it the table is a
+ *   list of byte ranges nobody can address by tile.
+ * - **The payload is tile-major when there are tiles**: each tile's texels run together, in the
+ *   grid's own order — row-major across, then down — which is exactly the order and the extent
+ *   `@driftengine/texture`'s `latentTileGrid` cuts and `tilesForView` asks for. `tileCount` of 0
+ *   means the payload is one row-major image, which is what every material small enough not to
+ *   stream still is.
+ * - **The hash is `hashTile`'s 64 bits**, the same number residency addresses a tile by, so a tile
+ *   that arrived for one material is already resident for every other material sharing it. Thirty
+ *   two bits is about a one in ten thousand collision over sixty thousand tiles, and a collision
+ *   here is one surface wearing another's texture.
+ *
+ * **What it gives up**: a reader that wants the whole image must put the tiles back together, which
+ * is a copy the row-major form does not need. That is why `tileCount` of 0 stays a legal chunk
+ * rather than being tidied away. **What would make it wrong** is a mip chain, which this chunk does
+ * not carry — `latentTileGrid` cuts one level per mip and a `DTEX` has one level, so the table is
+ * that level's tiles and nothing is implied about the others.
+ *
+ * **What is validated here is containment, not meaning.** A tile whose bytes run past the payload
+ * and a result register no node ever writes are refused, because those make a reader hand back
+ * arbitrary memory or an uninitialised value. Whether the program is one an interpreter can *run*
+ * is `validateDecodeGraph`'s question, in the package that knows what an operation is.

+ * to write would silently not be there. What `serializeWorld` produces is already a value; this
+ * carries it unchanged.
+ *
+ * **The scene's own version is inside it and is not repeated.** `MSHL` states the reason in one
+ * line — a second version is a second thing to keep in step, and the one that drifts is the one
+ * nobody reads.

+ * **What is checked is that this is a scene, not that it is a scene anybody can load.** Whether a

+ * question and it answers in words. Refusing text that is not a scene at all belongs here, so a
+ * consumer meets a sentence rather than `undefined.entities` three calls later.
