stream_update made a Chunk and a words copy per new chunk (fn_stream_update +39 blocks / 13.2 KB a
window with the hiker in the drifting boat). The pool holds STREAM_MAX_CHUNKS records; the arena
is twice the layer's cap; eviction compacts it; a chunk that cannot be kept is gathered from the
scratch. stream_clear_all frees records, lists and streams. steady: 300 new cells, cap 256: 156 KB
before, 0 / -4.9 KB after, and every kept chunk's data checked against its cell.
