An empty world at the game's size held 51839 KB of Jolt's heap (200000 bodies, 65536 pairs, 20480
contacts, a 32 MB temp heap), the jolt= floor under every walk. Pairs and contacts come from what
moves - drops, boats, a few walkers - and a valley's still things make none. Now 11743 KB at 200000
bodies and 8461 KB at the 98304 the game opens for (jolt_floor_test holds it under 16 MB). The temp heap
still falls back to malloc for a step that wants more.
lib/macos-arm64 rebuilt; lib/windows-x64 needs native/build.sh on the PC (jph_world_new's new sizes).

The per-frame sweep over physics, character, vehicles and nav found three fact makers that made a record per fact: contacts and splashes, the character's and the vehicles'. Each keeps a pool now, as wildlife's and npc's do (q_unheld). phys_sink, asked on every removal, built two new lists each time; it filters into a kept spare pair and swaps. ludic.nav's paths and crowds already allocate nothing, and none of the four builds a string per call. What remains at load, reset or a world swap is not per frame. vehicle_feed takes its state mut. vehicles_test: 1000 fed facts, drained turn by turn, use at most 4 records. All packages 421.

Our own shim (native/shim/jph_shim.cpp) over Jolt built from the pinned tag with cross-platform
determinism and no fp contraction: shapes as handles (box, sphere, capsule, cylinder, dome,
offset, heightfield, mesh), still/kinematic/dynamic bodies by id with real removal, rays,
top_at and push (what CharacterGround asks), overlaps, buoyancy against the PhysWater port,
contacts recorded in C and drained as PHYS_HIT / PHYS_SPLASH facts. Fixed 1/60 steps, at most four
a frame. Nine tests against the real library, including a pile run twice to the bit.
