Maroon Lake's launcher watcher - a process that only spawns the game and waits - held 58 MB, 48 MB of
it MALLOC_SMALL. Measured with malloc stack logging it was not the state defaults but L_grow: every
program sized every property type's per-entity store to MAX_ENT (1024) slots at start, 1,583 stores,
entities or none. And every state record was made with its defaults in L_init_globals before Boot.
- emit_lazy.ludic: a program's (not the runtime's) state global is left out of L_init_globals, and
every read of it calls @S_<global>(), which makes it on first call from its own initializer - after
every registry and plain global, so a default may read them (the init-order crash cannot come back
through a state). What a getter makes is declared (@lp_fdecl): a state first touched in play is made
once and not judged as a frame's keep. A function value's trampoline calls the getter too.
- L_grow starts the stores at ECS_FIRST (8) and doubles as entities come, as it always did past MAX_ENT.
The watcher (with the game's watch step moved before the systems' defs): 57 MB -> 11 MB; the only
state it makes is UiState (14 KB). What is left: AppKit's window, opened by rt_init before main for any
windowed program (~4 MB), and the runtime's font, image and 2D inits (~1.2 MB).
Goldens: the arena, fence, value and json goldens; the 36 ui examples; 30 of the 32 ECS test cases
(sprite_render and sprite_atlas time out under a plain runner with the toolchain before this too).
Package tests: ludic.base, save, settings, i18n.

Every pool thread runs the worker at once with the same states, so a mut state in a worker was a
race nothing reported. check_worker_ref refuses a worker whose leading states include a mut one;
threads.ludic's total moves into the words the worker is handed, under the mutex. The seeds are
regenerated (ludic-dev reseed). ludic-dev test 305 passed, selfhost-test 33 passed.

selfhost/check/ walks every function, the entry, tests, globals' initializers and
@On listeners with real scopes, and refuses mixed number kinds, text and numbers,
two record types, mismatched slices and fn types, wrong argument counts, wrong
returns and wrong push elements - every mix-up at once, each at its line.
LUDIC_CHECK_REPORT=1 lists them by category. pointer stays untyped (L7's).
What it found is fixed: render3d's HDR scan calling the float-bits extern f_lt
with floats; ludic.shooter's right-stick aim overflowing past half a push;
prof.ludic storing longs in []int; extern arguments now coerced to their
parameters. Text-returning runtime functions say string; Assets.ready says bool.

A barrel's 'module NAME' makes its directory a module; a declaration other modules
use says 'export'. Private use from another module is an error naming the module
and where to mark it; 'friend module' sees everything (a test harness); a file in
no module is public and a package keeps its own module. LUDIC_VIS_REPORT=1 lists
every violation instead of stopping, so a codebase can be given its exports first.

fn(int, float) -> bool is a type, fn name is any top-level function's value, and a call through
a local, a global, a record field, a slice element, a parameter or a result of a function type
is an indirect call; two function types mix only when equal, a call checks its argument count,
and a value may be null (examples/functions/values.ludic). Job.parallel_for keeps its worker
check.
render3d's scene is registered rather than required by name: r3d_on_draw, r3d_on_casters and
r3d_on_stream_fill (hooks.ludic). The two rendering examples register theirs - and had defined
scene_draw_casters with no parameter while the renderer passed one, which nothing checked.
render3d declares numbers float itself; smooth.ludic is converted to floats and returns when
r3d_init fails instead of running on into a segfault. Noise.* check their argument count (a call
one short crashed the compiler). selfhost-build says why it failed. The migration tool reads a
declared float as evidence. Seed regenerated.
