Conclusions

0x41b66d is the text/status payload interpreter. If the current payload byte is 0x40, the next byte indexes the handler table at 0x0047f1d8.

40 13 and 40 14 are selector-table controls in that text/status payload domain. Both read a selector byte from global/object/base source mode; both clamp it to count.

40 13 jumps to the selected pointer only. 40 14 also stores the fallthrough/continuation pointer in object+0xb4 using object+0xc8 before jumping.

40 1b sets object+0xa8 selector base. In the status-comment payload, 40 1b 01 00 sets base 0x004576d8 before the 9-entry 40 14 selector array.

0x004e8608 is the mode-0 9-entry status short-comment selector array and all entries point to grounded status-comment blocks.

0x004e8ac4, 0x004e8b1a and 0x004e8ba2 are mode-1 external text pointer lists, so 40 14 is not globally just the short-comment selector.

40 13 kind=3 has inline menu/choice pointer-table shapes in this range. 40 13 kind=2/table 0x58 maps to skill-description text tables for the #2 information panel.

These 0x40-prefixed data records must be kept separate from the active-object unprefixed opcode 0x13 conditional branch stream.

The selector source for the status-comment group is now narrowed to object+0xa8+0, with object+0xa8 set by 40 1b. The writer/meaning of the backing status byte at 0x004576d8 remains unresolved.
