Update docs with Phase 6 progress

CLAUDE.md: Update status to Phase 6 in progress, add new pitfalls
and key files discovered during verification.

PLAN.md: Mark Steps 1, 2, and 2b complete with results (50/50 CLSIDs,
13/13 DAT tests). Add DecalDat functional test as Step 2b.

+## Phase 6: Verification & Implementation (IN PROGRESS)
 
 Goal: **Pixel-perfect drop-in replacement** for the closed-source Decal v2.9.8.3.
 
 Strategy: **Bottom-up, one DLL at a time.** Replace one original DLL with our C#
 version while keeping all other original DLLs in place. Test. Move to the next.
 
-### Step 1: Build on Windows
+### Step 1: Build on Windows ✅ COMPLETE
 ```
-# C++ native projects (requires VS 2022 + Windows SDK)
+dotnet build Managed\Decal.sln -c Release   # 25 projects, 0 errors
-cd Native
-cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A Win32 -B build
-cmake --build build --config Release
-
-# Managed solution
-dotnet build Managed\Decal.sln -c Release
 ```
 
-### Step 2: COM Registration Test
+### Step 2: COM Registration Test ✅ COMPLETE
-Register all C# COM servers and verify GUIDs match originals:
+Automated script: `tools/Test-ComRegistration.ps1 -Build`
-```
+- 10/10 DLLs register successfully with regasm /codebase
-regasm /codebase Managed\bin\Release\Decal.Core.dll
+- 50/50 CLSIDs verified in registry (WOW6432Node for 32-bit on 64-bit Windows)
-regasm /codebase Managed\bin\Release\Decal.DecalDat.dll
+- 0 GUID mismatches vs original Decal .rgs files
-... (all 10 COM server DLLs)
+- 35 CLSIDs match original .rgs files exactly
-```
+- 15 additional CLSIDs from decompiled interops (no .rgs source available)
-Then verify in registry: `HKCR\CLSID\{GUID}\InprocServer32` points to our DLLs.
+- 23 original CLSIDs not in scope (Inject module C++, internal action classes)

+### Step 2b: DecalDat Functional Test ✅ COMPLETE
+`Managed/Decal.DecalDat.Tests/` — 13/13 tests pass against real AC DAT files:
+- Opens portal.dat (884 MB, sector size 1024) and cell.dat (332 MB, sector size 256)
+- Reads 6 known file IDs from portal.dat (SpellTable, ComponentTable, etc.)
+- DatStream: Read, Restart, ReadBinary with Tell tracking
