#45/#134 authentic score/death report tail -- replaces the scoring stand-ins

Browse Source 
Reconstructs the dark-gap tail of Mech::TakeDamageMessageHandler
(@0x4a02f4-0x4a0890, raw disasm): the three id-0x16 score reports (kill to
the shooter's player / type-0 wire-fidelity / received to the victim's
player) and the BT 0x38-byte VehicleDeadMessage extension {killed-by player,
kill zone} dispatched from the death tail.  Retires BTPostDamageScore /
BTPostKillScore and the per-hit inflicted credit (never existed in 1995:
@0x4c0200 is bound in no handler-table entry -- byte-scan receipt in
decomp-reference).  Suicides now dispatch and the handler negates the award
(the #134 panic penalty).  Collision divert falls through to the death tail
per @0x4a0375 (wall deaths respawn + blast; no score).  ScoreMessage fields
renamed to decoded truth (vitalHit/zoneIndex/subsysID) + wire asserts;
console VTVDamaged points_transfered corrected (Round(award), not Now()).

Benches: scorekill.sh cross-node kill (kills=1 award=4.88, killedBy=2:1
zone=3, single death cycle), scoreself.sh suicide (type=2 award=-39.00
kills=0), deathblast2.sh re-verified (72 bursts at ~9u).

## Addendum 2026-08-05 — the AUTHENTIC report tail lands (#45/#134)
The kill/damage report sender is no longer the BTPostDamageScore/BTPostKillScore stand-in pair:
`Mech::TakeDamageMessageHandler`'s dark-gap tail (@0x4a02f4-0x4a0890) is reconstructed as
`BTMechPostCombatReports` + `BTMechPostVehicleDead` (btplayer.cpp), dispatching the binary's three
id-0x16 reports (kill to shooter / type-0 wire-fidelity / received to victim) and the BT-extended
0x38 VehicleDead {killed-by player, kill zone} from the victim's handler at the binary's exact
positions. Consequences for this plan:
- KILLS credit path unchanged in shape (victim node -> replicant-player Dispatch reroute ->
killer's master ++killCount) — re-benched cross-node (scorekill.sh: kills=1, award=4.88).
- Suicides now dispatch and the handler negates the award (#134 panic penalty live;
scoreself.sh: type=2 award=-39.00 kills=0).
- Per-hit INFLICTED credit is REMOVED — it never existed in 1995 (@0x4c0200 is bound in no
handler-table entry; scoring = kill awards + received penalties + death costs). SCORE column
behavior changes accordingly; KILLS/DEATHS columns unaffected.
- §Headline-6's wrong-column slip (dual +0x27c increment) remains faithfully reproduced and
replication-masked. The type-1 received report also fixes the console VTVDamaged
points_transfered field (was a Now() misread; it is Round(award), raw disasm @0x4c04a7).
