/**
 * @file collision.h
 * @brief Collision shapes: what an actor occupies, and what it will collide with.
 *
 * A shape is a convex volume positioned relative to an actor's origin. It lives
 * on the akgl_Character, so every goblin sharing a character shares one shape
 * definition, exactly as they share speeds and the state-to-sprite map -- and an
 * individual actor may override it when it needs to.
 *
 * @section collision_leaf This header includes nothing of ours but types.h
 *
 * `actor.h` and `character.h` both need akgl_CollisionShape by value, so this
 * header cannot include either of them without a cycle. It names actors and
 * tilemaps as incomplete struct pointers instead, which is why they need struct
 * tags and why `akgl_Tilemap` grew one. The `headers` suite compiles this file
 * as the first include of a translation unit and would fail immediately if that
 * ever stopped being true.
 *
 * @section collision_extrusion Why a 2D shape has a depth
 *
 * The narrowphase behind this is three-dimensional, which is what lets the same
 * shapes carry into a 3D game later. It answers with the **minimum** translation
 * that separates two volumes -- and if a 2D shape were extruded into a thin
 * slab, the cheapest way to separate two of them would be along z. The
 * narrowphase would report a contact, the resolver would push the actor into the
 * screen, and on screen nothing would happen at all while the actor sank through
 * the floor.
 *
 * So the setters give every shape a depth of #AKGL_COLLISION_DEPTH_RATIO times
 * its largest planar half-extent unless told otherwise. That is not a large
 * number chosen for comfort; it is the smallest ratio for which the z overlap of
 * any two shapes built this way is provably larger than any planar penetration
 * they can reach, so z can never be the minimum axis. Pass a depth by hand only
 * if you know what that costs.
