Section headers distinguish the declared virtual extent from the on-disk raw extent, which may include alignment padding. Resource RVA ownership and overlap use VirtualSize, falling back to SizeOfRawData when VirtualSize is zero, and payload reads still require file-backed bytes.
The NativeAOT snapshot reader applies the same range rule to RVA reads, metadata scans, executable targets, and derived overlay bounds. Page-rounded loader mappings may expose tail bytes, but those bytes lie outside the declared section range used by these parsers.
