Research direction

Start by locating the ZGC log parsing entry point and compare how Safepoints, concurrent times, mark summaries, nMethods, References, Metaspace, and relocation info are handled. Reproduce the missing fields with a representative ZGC log and inspect the existing Metaspace parsing, which the issue identifies as a likely source of null data. Done means the affected sections are populated correctly and covered by the project's parser tests.
