When that flag is used, sow-tools:
- collects only the assets referenced by that manifest subset
- skips full-project chunk planning for the per-archive run
- reconstructs just the requested archive chunks from the manifest
Native topdata migration summary
- Replaced the legacy 2dabuilder runtime path with the native topdata builder.
- Native build, validate, compare, and convert flows now cover the canonical topdata pipeline.
- compare-topdata is now a native self-check; legacy reference-builder runtime usage was removed.
- Parts generation follows the native asset-scan contract and uses sow-assets via project asset resolution.
- Generated feat families, class-feat injects, masterfeat/successor expansion, and dataset-derived feat generation were brought to parity and regression-covered.
- Remaining mirrored datasets were migrated into native-owned canonical data while preserving lock IDs.
- normalize-topdata bridge behavior and migration-era ownership markers were removed.
- Documentation was rewritten around the native workflow and active contracts were cleaned up.
- Final hardening pass removed stale validator assumptions and cleaned ignored/generated artifacts for PR readiness.

In sow-tools, extract now behaves like a real sync by default: it
overwrites changed extracted files, removes stale extracted files that
no longer exist in the built archives, and normalizes extracted resource
filenames to lowercase. I also made validation warn on uppercase
resource filenames so mixed-case names like I_ELVENCHAIN are surfaced
instead of quietly lingering. The extract command output now includes
overwritten and removed counts too.
