3 Candidate6 completed the Red Faction II Xbox acquisition successfully but
4 serialized `Europe/PAL` in the native report. That value did not describe the
7 The copied Xbox metadata path had already parsed the `default.xbe` certificate
11 Regions: North America
14 The stale report value came from the locked DVD-video view's sector-zero byte
15 3, interpreted through FriiDump's Nintendo `P`/`E`/`J` region mapping. That
16 mapping is valid for GameCube/Wii disc IDs, not Original Xbox XBE certificates.
18 Candidate7 changes the source of Xbox region metadata:
20 - Xbox region starts as unknown/null instead of inheriting PAL/NTSC from the
22 - The copied GDR-8050L path carries the XBE certificate `GameRegion` mask back

24 - The native report uses an Xbox-specific formatter.
25 - The raw mask is retained in a report note.
27 For Red Faction II [TQ00501A], the expected result is:
30 "region": "North America"
36 Xbox XBE GameRegion mask: 0x00000001.
39 The `friidump-test-result.v1` schema is unchanged.
