074189b73e ludic.nav (18.5): a walker the crowd avoids and never moves
nav_crowd_add_fixed adds a walker with no steering, and nav_crowd_place puts it (snapped to the mesh) where the player is, with the velocity they have, each frame. The others plan round it by that velocity, and whatever it was pushed by is undone at the next placement. crowd_test: six walkers aimed through a standing player come no closer than 1.71 m and all get past, and the player stays where it was put. nav 16/16 on the Mac and the PC; DLL KERNEL32 only.

d83eabfdf1 ludic.nav, ludic.wildlife (18.4): a walker's separation, and a species' spacing
nav_crowd_add takes how hard a walker keeps its distance, and WildSpecies.spacing (default 2) is a species' room from others walking by, which the valley hands the crowd. Both libraries are rebuilt; nav 15/15 on the Mac and the PC, DLL KERNEL32 only. wildlife 26/26.

521efe67db ludic.nav (18.1): a DetourCrowd per kind of walker
The shim builds DetourCrowd from the same pinned Recast & Detour tag. nav_crowd_start puts a crowd on a kind's mesh, with the mesh's tastes as its filters. Walkers are added (snapped to the mesh), sent and sped through verbs, stepped together, and read back into nav_agent_*. nav_crowd_us times the stepping with the OS clock. Dropping a mesh drops its crowd first. On the test meadow, twenty walkers crossing head-on never come closer than their two radii (0.7003 m), all arrive, and a step costs about 12 us. nav 15/15 on the Mac and the PC; the DLL still imports KERNEL32 alone.

f65eda8b47 ludic.nav (17.10): the time paths take, counted in the shim
nav_us() gives the microseconds spent in nav_path across the loaded meshes. The shim times each path with the OS's monotonic clock (clock_gettime, or QueryPerformanceCounter from KERNEL32), so the DLL still needs no C++ runtime. Both libraries are rebuilt, and 13 tests pass on the Mac and the PC.

5e46afdb0f feat(nav): 17.10's measure - paths asked for, found and cut short since the meshes loaded (nav_asked / nav_found / nav_short)

de9c92b360 feat(nav): nav_next_corner - a way's next corner read back as the nearest point is, so a walker's question and a goal share one answer and a game needs no state of its own for them

d4b6979426 feat(nav): 17.4 - a mesh has eight filters (a cost per kind of ground each) and every path, straight line and random point names the one it walks by, so a deer, a marmot and a person each take their own way over the same mesh; tested with a band of thicket walked round by the filter that dislikes it

e6893f58be feat(nav): 17.3 - a map in square tiles (nav_tiled, nav_tile_build; a tile must be a whole number of cells or its seams never join, and the shim refuses one that is not; 64-bit polygon refs for 16384 tiles), ground as a NavGround with boulders as convex footprints, one save format for one tile or many, and nav_random_near - a reachable point from the caller's seed, bit-identical on the Mac and the PC. 10 tests on both

9b8606483d feat(nav): 17.1/17.3 - ludic.nav over Recast & Detour v1.6.0 (zlib), built here from the pinned tag on the Mac and the PC (the DLL imports KERNEL32 alone): a navmesh per kind of walker from triangles with an area byte each and cylinders nothing stands in, saved and loaded as bytes; the nearest point, a path as corners (partial when the end cannot be reached), whether a straight line stays walkable, a cost per kind of ground. Tests on a hand-built meadow: round a post, over a ford, stopped at a bank, a saved mesh answering alike - Mac and PC
