Research direction

Start from the pseudo-C expression shown in the issue and trace where its cast is generated in the decompiler output path. Reproduce the expression, identify why (uint32_t*) is emitted before strrchr, and verify that the resulting pseudo-C no longer contains the incorrect redundant cast.
