VariantTests drive the cache batch API and the real single-file store. The C1
vector was written by the code under test through that path; C# reads it and
rewrites it byte for byte, and the other runtimes' tests read the same bytes next.
The C0 tests that expected C# to refuse a v2 store now expect what C1 does with
it.

The legacy catalog layout reaches CultMesh's fallback reader, and a nil header
was the only defaulted header; each gets one vector or test. The C# store
tests catch the refusal where the store attaches.

Delete the trailing Skip loop in the record reader, the ?? v1 header default,
and the mesh reader's copy of the record decoder. The single-file store and
CultMesh single-file reads accept cultcache.store.v1 only. Persistence-format
and parity docs state the rule.
