Why: The patcher trusted firmware files even when the header did not match the file body. That could create a broken patched firmware file that still looked valid. This checks the header, loader files, and Rev B patch location before writing output, so bad inputs stop early.

Summary
Why
The patcher trusted firmware files even when the header did not match the file body. That could create a broken patched firmware file that still looked valid. This stops bad inputs before the script writes output.
