ludic.update: whether this copy can update itself is worked out once, when the updater is configured
(the panel asked every frame, building the path to the executable each time); the notes are a list
the state keeps, filled by update_notes_for when the version or the language changes, which the
game calls from its update tick. The feed's address is declared (once, when a check starts).
ludic.steps, ludic.effects, ludic.telemetry: what is left is made on an event and declared with its
bound - an arc's tables, a chapter's columns, a step's fact, an effect's start, end and clear, the
fact pool's growth, the player id, a props record's nesting stack - and two pushes into a caller's
kept list, at most a chapter's steps and the ring's size.

ludic.base's Queue<T> carries a QueueTag (its name and pending count): queue_new(name), q_push(q, v),
q_drain(q), q_clear(q) take no BaseState, and core_undrained(tags) names the given queues still holding
facts. A reducer on a package's state can now call that package's verbs (wallet_earn(wallet_st, n)).
ludic migrate state --prune (ludicc --migrate-prune) takes out each state parameter a function no
longer uses, nor anything it calls, and the argument that fills it - including an argument for a
parameter the callee has dropped, which is taken out before the call is checked, so a generic's T is
told by the argument that says it. A reducer keeps its state. --dry-run now counts the edits it would
make. Every package was moved with it: 608 base_st parameters and their arguments, 1889 edits.

latest.json asked once and polled (the newest version and its notes, in
a language or English); then Velopack's releases.<os>.json, the plan (the
delta chain when the installed full package is on disk, no delta is
missing and the chain weighs less than the full one; the newest full
package otherwise, named as the feed names it), each package streamed to
the packages folder with its bytes on a bar and an eased pace, its
SHA-256 by Get-FileHash or shasum in a child, Update patch per delta and
Update apply --waitPid. macOS keeps its packages outside the bundle and
names --rootDir and --packageDir; a translocated app is not installed.
Ports with the runtime as every default: UpdateWorld (platform, exe, pid,
now_ms), UpdateNet (get, download, poll, text, received, free),
UpdateProc (spawn, poll, free). Config: feed, app_id, version, root,
packages, mac_packages, scratch. It words nothing: states, UPDATE_ERR_*
codes and numbers, and UPDATE_STARTED / _STOPPED / _APPLYING facts - the
game exits on the last.
