compare_artifacts listed the format_metadata kinds it compared by hand,
so a new kind went uncompared without notice; ESP segment load addresses
were first missed this way. One table beside the schemas now gives every
kind a declaration projection or the reason comparison uses none of its
facts, and a kind without an entry does not compile. Consumers read one
result per pair instead of naming formats.
- Godot PCK entries stay uncompared. Godot looks members up by the
simplified path without res://, which logical_path holds apart from
Unicode normalization. Godot 4.3 exports store res:// and 4.4.1
exports do not, so comparing source_path would mark every member
changed. The reader admits only the encryption flag, which the
occurrence's encrypted field records.
- A changed PyInstaller declaration is now a metadata change also when
the member's content is unavailable, as for ASAR, Node SEA and ESP
segments. It was unknown before, for no recorded reason.
- Root kinds and ESP signature blocks stay uncompared: their fields come
from their own bytes, which content comparison covers.
- A declaration that only one side records now adds one generic
limitation for every compared kind. Only Node SEA added one before,
with its own text.
