Live capture (esi=engine ctx via operand-fetch, poll object-record array
[esi+0x53d64] stride 120). KEY FINDING: through the full real opening, the record
array holds only 3 persistent UI objects — NO CG objects. The real game does NOT
draw opening CGs via the 0x212-0x21a positioned-object path our headless VM uses;
with state it takes a different (direct) branch. So the bg/sprite drift is a
STATE-DIVERGENCE artifact of the unseeded headless VM, not a missing native op —
the fix is the Phase B state/choices flow (makes label_12649 take the if-branch).
