 * for the record frame). Tolerance rules, per FileFormat.md "Reading across versions":
 *   - a record whose streamIndex this build doesn't know → skipped whole (its status is unreadable only
 *     because the MODEL has nowhere to put an unknown stream);
 *   - a known record's frame fields (status/schemaVersion) are ALWAYS decoded — their encoding is
 *     frozen — and its tail (loss/provenance) is decoded strictly for same-or-older files, best-effort
 *     for newer ones (a changed tail layout must consume exactly its length to be believed);
 *   - a known stream the (older) writer had no record for is filled as `unsupported`/schemaVersion 0:
 *     that writer could not have captured it, and the model's TOTAL manifest must stay total.
