Description

We are missing a new field, looking at a mne compare_fiff between a newly acquired file and our I/O round-trip of it:

We also write ACTIVE when we probably shouldn't. We should allow this to be 0, 1, or None.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported mne compare_fiff difference between the newly acquired file and the I/O round-trip, then trace the FIF projector read and write paths. Identify the missing field and verify that ACTIVE is handled with the allowed values 0, 1, or None; the comparison should show no unintended projector-field differences when done.
