DeckardDetribineandClaude Opus 5.5 e715b9bf75 Mod merge: carry the assets a mod adds into the copies maps carry
Maps ship their own copy of game bundles such as
bam_levelroot/bam_coregameassets, and that copy loads instead of the game's
on their levels. Changes an asset mod makes to the game's EBX already
propagate into those copies; assets it adds did not. A mod that appends a new
song to the master music playlist therefore left the playlist naming a song
the map's copy never contained, so the song was missing on custom maps.

collect_asset_overrides now also records what an asset mod adds to a game
bundle, and combine inserts it into other mods' copies of the same bundle,
after their own assets, unless the copy already has that name:
- an added EBX is carried only when one of the mod's recorded changes imports
  it, or another carried addition does (the playlist names the song, the song
  imports its wave), so an addition never travels without the change that
  needs it;
- a resource the mod adds under the same name as a carried EBX goes with it
  (a wave's sound-bank resource registers the wave; without it the game
  crashes instantiating the wave);
- TOC chunks the mod adds that its carried EBX name are listed in each
  superbundle those assets go into, pointing at where the mod's archive
  landed (a map's superbundle resolves chunks from its own TOC).

A copy in the TOC the adding mod ships its own bundle in (cosmetic mods share one)
merges with that mod's bundle and already has the asset, so only copies in other
superbundles, i.e. maps' level TOCs, receive additions.
