Code Review
This pull request effectively refactors BaseSegment, HeaderRecord, and TrailerRecord to reduce code duplication by using struct embedding. The introduction of baseSegmentCore, headerRecordCore, and trailerRecordCore is a clean way to share common fields and methods. The changes are well-executed and significantly improve maintainability. This refactoring also fixed a bug in an error message within trailer_record.go.
I've left a couple of minor comments for improvement: one is a typo in an error message, and the other is a note about a slight regression in error message specificity for PackedBaseSegment as a result of the refactoring. Overall, this is a solid improvement.

This appears to be a copy-paste error from another record type. The error message for an inapplicable segment on a PackedTrailerRecord should refer to "packed trailer record", not "packed header record".

This refactoring moves validation logic to the shared baseSegmentCore, which is great for reducing code duplication. However, it has resulted in less specific error messages for PackedBaseSegment. For example, this validation function now hardcodes "base segment" in its error message, whereas previously the PackedBaseSegment's implementation used "packed base segment". This is a slight regression in error reporting clarity, and it affects multiple validation functions.
The test files have been updated to reflect this, so it might be an intentional trade-off. If you'd like to restore the specific error messages, you could consider passing the record name (e.g., "packed base segment") as an argument to the validation functions. This would require changing the reflection-based calls in PackedBaseSegment.Validate() and validateRecord() to pass this argument.
Refactor record types to use struct embedding pattern instead of type aliases, eliminating code duplication across BaseSegment, HeaderRecord, and TrailerRecord.
