The package keeps the rules and hands them over each step: speed and heading, whether a jump
leaves, CHAR_STEP and the boots' slope limit. The walker (Jolt CharacterVirtual) does gravity,
landing, steps, slopes and following the ground down. Too steep is ground too steep facing the way
the body wanted to go; stepping off an edge is not. ludic.physics: phys_walker_move (follow the body
if something else moved it, then step), the slope limit, the jump always honoured. The character's
tests run on a real Jolt walker over the same fake world: 15 pass, a knee-high boulder now a step.

Five new tests: stand and walk at the asked speed, a low stone is a step and a tall one a wall, a
jump up and back, a crate shoved aside, a hull turned by a torque and carried by a force.

collide.ludic (circles in a cell grid that could not be removed) and its Render3dState fields are
deleted, and the reload example stops asserting colliders. A game still calling col_* must move to
ludic.physics first (Maroon Lake's src/solid).

Our own shim (native/shim/jph_shim.cpp) over Jolt built from the pinned tag with cross-platform
determinism and no fp contraction: shapes as handles (box, sphere, capsule, cylinder, dome,
offset, heightfield, mesh), still/kinematic/dynamic bodies by id with real removal, rays,
top_at and push (what CharacterGround asks), overlaps, buoyancy against the PhysWater port,
contacts recorded in C and drained as PHYS_HIT / PHYS_SPLASH facts. Fixed 1/60 steps, at most four
a frame. Nine tests against the real library, including a pile run twice to the bit.

native "<target>" "<path>" in a package's package.ludic; the compiler records the libraries of
every package a program imports and writes them into the IR (; ludic-native:), so ludicc -o,
ludic build, ludic test and ludic bundle all link one list. macOS: an rpath to the package and to
Contents/Frameworks, where ludic bundle copies and signs each library and drops the build
machine's rpath. Windows: the import library, the .dll copied beside the exe (--natives-out for
the bundle). tools/native/lib.sh builds from a pinned, checksummed source with clang on both
machines; ludic.nativeecho is the worked example; the shim rules are in packages/README.md.
Linked at build time rather than dlopen (docs/PACKAGES.md says why). Reseeded.

The old kit read Input.mouse_x() * gl_scale; ludic.ui read it raw against a layout sized in
drawable pixels. A backend says how many screen pixels one pointer unit is (pointer_scale);
render3d's is gl_pixel_scale(), 1 on Windows and headless.

ludic.ui runs a frame's presses after drawing it, and what they dispatched waited for the end of the
phase - after the host had presented - so a button's change showed a frame late. Decided: drain, not a
phase per action. ui_show and ui_press drain the queue once the presses have run, so the code after
them and the frame presented next see the change; a host that runs presses some other way calls
drain_actions() before it presents.

A game's exported UiAct collided with ludic.ui's, which nothing outside ludic.ui uses: it is private
to ludic.ui now, and a private record of one spelling in two modules never clashed. A real clash - a
type named like one a package exports - is still refused, and the message names the package and the
way out (`ludic_ui exports it, and exported names are one namespace - rename this one, or declare it
without export inside a module of your own`).

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.

It lowered to an i32 compare of two pointers, which the IR refused. Two strings with the same text
are equal now, a null only to a null, and a failure says expect_eq failed (got "camp", want
"lake"). examples/library/testing_strings.ludic (two tests fail on purpose, and the output is
checked); ludic.base's actions_test uses it again.

action Name { fields } is a typed record; reducer State on Action(s: mut State, a: Action) { ... }
in the module that owns the state takes exactly that state and the action (a second state is
refused); dispatch Action { fields } queues one from anywhere, the queue supplied by the runtime.
The queue is drained at the end of every phase of the frame loop, after every phase of ludic.base's
core_tick_all, and by drain_actions(): in dispatch order, each action's reducers in the order of
their states' names, an action a reducer dispatches queued behind, a queue still growing after 64
rounds stopped with the action named. Examples actions/pack, phases, runaway; rejects for a second
state, a reducer on a non-action and an unknown dispatch; ludic.base's actions_test; LANGUAGE.md.

A scene is an entry in the open registry LabScenes, shown on a plate: a
flat lit disc, the package's own small sky with the sun at one hour, and
a frame clock. Headless each camera (lab_shot, lab_shot_at) settles and
is written as build/lab/<scene>/<shot>.png (a stored PNG, written here);
in a window N and P step through them. tools/lab/run.sh and sheet.py
make the contact sheet; tools/lab/plate_build.py makes plate/.
ludic.render3d gains r3d_plate_mode (no terrain, grass or water is made)
and r3d_sky_path. quit() in a program with no frame loop links. The
example takes ~120 MB resident, 417 MiB peak footprint. Reseed.

A line is cast at a point the FishingWorld port says is water (depth, or afloat), bait (asked,
then said as FISHING_BAIT_USED for the game to take) halves the wait, the bite picks a species -
a legend only on a lure, likelier in deep water and with skill, else an everyday one by weight -
and the fight is a marker, a green band that moves above Relaxed and closes on Hard or for a
fish whose data says so, a Gentle ring of one press, and a legend's runs and the line it takes
back. Length and weight come from FishSpecies data. The package never draws, speaks or touches
a pack; every step is a FishingFact (CAUGHT, BAIT_USED, LINE_SNAPPED, SLACK, MISSED, ...). Its
dice are its own Rng. A legend on Gentle fights as a legend (the old ring lost him at once).
Uses ludic.base only; thirteen tests over a fake lake.

Items (base price, sell fraction) and vendors (stock, buys, refuses) are the game's data handed
over at boot; standing, the day, a shortage and "buys beyond its list" are the ShopWorld port;
money is ShopPurse and the pack ShopPack. The week's wanted and glutted items come from an Rng
seeded by the week, never the world's. The balance invariants - a shop is not a fountain,
friction falls and never inverts, raw keeps its order - are the package's tests (nine).
ludic.crafting: its private names carry the package's prefix too (a private name is still one
global namespace with the game's - ludic.shop's `sp_seed` met the game's).

A recipe is `def CraftRecipes key { out, n, ins: [...], ns: [...], station, minutes, hold,
group, learned }`. The pack is the CraftPack port (count, take, add, room, and `leaves`: what
an item leaves once used, so water gives back its bottle); stations are CraftStations (ready,
start), unbound meaning hands only. craft_make hands a click recipe over or starts a timed one
at its station, refunding when the station refuses; the hold runs from the screen that shows it.
Uses ludic.base only; ten tests with a fake pack and fake stations.
