 8. .gob/DDS/model asset parsers (interop tools).

+## Breadth queue (next rounds, one Ghidra user at a time; non-Ghidra items can run in parallel)
+- Combat sim: `GameCombatSim`/`Mars::CombatSim` tick, `CombatCommand*` dispatch (31 types), weapon flight per `weaponclass` (Ghidra)
+- Renderer: D3D9 init → `Mars::DrawDevice`/`Camera` → present loop; `.fx` shader usage (Ghidra)
+- Networking: `SNM*`/`FNM*` protocol from the 82 `NetMsgReg_*` factories; lockstep sync + host migration (Ghidra)
+- AI: `AIPlayer`, fuzzy `IAIRule`, `TacAISquad*`; how the AI CSV tables are consumed (Ghidra)
+- `Mars::Buffer::gobio` VFS + NativeFileSystem override order (Ghidra, small)
+- Ship design rules: section sockets/banks → `ShipDesignDef` validation (data + small Ghidra)
+- Reader/verify: fold strategic-internals formulas into harness checks against the 3 real saves (Python)
