• Cleanups from review: shared EMPTY for absent brackets, dedupe test helper
  Records with no c/e field memoize one shared read-only EMPTY table
  instead of allocating a fresh per viewed record; the decode tests
  reuse the hoisted flatten/allEnabled helpers instead of inline copies.

• Decode packed bracket ratings lazily (c/e strings)
  Same treatment as the title dictionary: records ship c="v2=1840,sh=2405"
  / e="..." instead of cur/exp sub-tables, decoded and memoized on first
  lookup. With titles this leaves zero per-record tables in the loaded DB
  — only the record itself. Measured on the real EU export vs the current
  prod format: heap 116.6 -> 38.1 MB, tables 702K -> 104K, full GC cycle
  ~74 -> ~27 ms. Legacy records (cur/exp already tables) pass through
  untouched; E2E-verified by decoding all 47K horde records of a
  converted prod file through the real lookup path.

• Decode titles lazily from a per-file dictionary (t="1,5,9" refs)
  The bundled DBs shipped one {n,w} table per title per character (~340K
  tables/region, 64% of file bytes for only 318 unique titles), and WoW's
  GC re-marks every live table each cycle — the cause of reported FPS
  degradation minutes into a session. Records now carry one flat index
  string into the file's .T dictionary; Keys.lookup decodes on first view
  and memoizes, reusing the dictionary entry tables.
  Measured on the real EU export (tools/bench-db.lua, interleaved
  min-of-15): heap 116.6 -> 61.4 MB, tables 702K -> 293K, full GC cycle
  ~69 -> ~39 ms, login parse 0.38 -> 0.21 s. Old-format DBs still work
  (decode skips records whose titles are already tables).
