wildlife_set_crowd(a, true) hands a walker to a crowd. Its step no longer moves it, and its want is two fields on it: goal_x / goal_z (the point it heads for or faces) and goal_speed (0 when it stands). A route reads those and hands back where the crowd put it through wildlife_moved(a, x, z, vx, vz). That sets its place, its ground, its heading from its velocity and its prints, and updates its row's columns so the spatial index finds it there. Nothing allocates per animal per frame: the want is the animal's own fields, and moved writes in place. The prints and the turn counters moved to walked.ludic (steer.ludic was at the 100-line limit). crowd_test holds it; with crowd off every old test is unchanged. wildlife 26/26.

17.10 found almost every animal turn-back was for a climb, where the navmesh (40-45 degrees) is stricter than the step's 1.2 per metre. So the frame-sized test was refusing a few centimetres of steep ground: a pebble a walker steps across. It also refused sooner the faster the frame rate. wl_climb takes the ground half a metre ahead along the way the step actually goes. climb_test holds it at 60 and 240 Hz: a pebble is crossed and a wall is not. Both tests fail under the old rule. wildlife 24/24.

The count is wildlife_turned(), the 75-degree fallback an animal takes when the way was not enough. It is a measure only and is not saved.

Conflicts with 0.R5's state defaults in ludic.wildlife resolved; wl_step writes the push's answer, so
its callers take WildlifeState mut again.

- ludic.wildlife: WildlifeWorld.push / pushed_x / pushed_z (defaults change nothing); a ground
walker's step is slid clear of a still thing with a body from its species' size and scale, and
a step that gets nowhere turns away as the water does. Birds are not pushed; no dice added.
- ludic.npc: NpcWorld.push / pushed_x / pushed_z (a person 0.35 m round) in npc_walk, and
NpcWorld.clear (default true), which npc_line_ok asks at 1 m so a detour does not cut a trunk.
- ludic.aim: AimView.clear replaces AimView.ground and the ground march; the pick asks the line
a body's width short of where the ray enters the thing (aim_clear_at(t, back)), so a solid
thing does not hide itself. probe.ludic (the ground-agreement probe) and AimView.dry are gone.
- ludic.photo: PhotoLens.clear replaces PhotoLens.ground, PhotoLens.trunk and the march.

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.
