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.

A step is (kind, param, need) and a question about state: a kind has a
shape (yes, a count, a mask counted, every bit of a mask) and a pool
(world, any, sum, or, max, each), handed in by the game as StepsKind
records. An arc is chapters of up to STEPS_PER_CHAPTER steps; steps_check
sticks each met step of the current chapter (STEPS_MET) and opens the
next when all are (STEPS_CHAPTER), so a step met before its chapter
ticks at once. With company each seat's shares are held per chapter,
pooled as the kind says (steps_met, steps_party_got), counted for an
EACH step (steps_each, steps_lacking), and a leaver takes theirs along.
Port: StepsWorld { value(kind, param, player) (required), party,
present }. The package knows no kind's meaning and no chapter's words.
