  How we checked

  Nine synthetic damage types: equal on six; on a destroyed catalog ours recovered all 5 pages and theirs made no file; on a cut-off download ours returned the 3 surviving pages cleanly while theirs kept 5 pages, one blank and one that does not open; on a damaged cross-reference stream their output failed a strict parse and ours did not.
