+ITMES and SKMES are now joined back to their INIT records by a reusable id-dispatch extractor: all 287 item
+ids and all 131 skill ids match exactly. `init_table_profile.py --message-query REGEX` puts the complete
+player-facing description beside every populated field, which confirms the item/skill condition, resource,
+range, combat-stat, and restriction mappings without relying on column position. The same CHMENU trace
+identifies SKINIT `0xa70b2` as `skill_change_catalog_eligible`, distinguishes persistent
+`skill_acquired_flags` from broader `skill_info_revealed_flags`, and the explicit ITMES “female-only” record
+raises `item_sex_restriction_mask` to high confidence.
+
+Confirmed row-column meanings are no longer prose-only. The relevant `globals.toml` entries carry a
+machine-readable `columns` map; `globals_build.py` preserves it in `build/globals.json`, and
+`extract_init.py` emits a top-level `field_semantics` mapping while retaining raw address/stride/column keys
+as provenance. Generated profiles therefore render names such as
+`item_stat_modifiers.critical_chance` and `skill_status_levels.paralysis` directly.
