## Detailed Description

Version 1 container header placed at offset 0 for legacy / initial format.

Field summary:

- identifier: magic signature (AARU_MAGIC) identifying the container.
- application: UTF‑16LE creator application name (fixed 64 bytes, zero padded).
- imageMajorVersion / imageMinorVersion: container format version of the file itself (not the app).
- applicationMajorVersion / applicationMinorVersion: version of the creating application.
- mediaType: media type enumeration (MediaType).
- indexOffset: byte offset to the first index block (must be > 0).
- creationTime / lastWrittenTime: 64-bit Windows FILETIME timestamps (100 ns intervals since 1601-01-01 UTC).
