/**
 * @file physics_sim.c
 * @brief Whole-motion simulations of the arcade backend, in the shapes games actually use.
 *
 * `tests/physics.c` checks the pieces: that gravity accelerates, that drag
 * sheds, that the cap caps. Every one of those passes while the motion a player
 * would feel is still wrong, because feel lives in how the pieces compose over
 * a few hundred frames.
 *
 * Three shapes, chosen because they are the three a 2D game almost always
 * needs:
 *
 *  1. **Side-on jump and fall.** Gravity down, an upward impulse, land. The
 *     question is whether the arc is an arc.
 *  2. **Top-down walk.** No gravity, four-way input, stop on release. The
 *     question is whether stopping and diagonals behave.
 *  3. **Sudden reversal.** Full speed one way, then the other way. The question
 *     is whether the turn takes a believable amount of time.
 *
 * Every case runs at a fixed 60 Hz step and records the trajectory, so a
 * failure says *what the motion did*, not merely that a number was wrong.
 *
 * @note akgl_physics_simulate reads SDL_GetTicksNS() itself, so it cannot be
 *       handed a dt. It can be *bounded* to one, though: sim_step sets
 *       `max_timestep` to the step it wants and `gravity_time` to zero, so the
 *       measured interval is always longer than the bound and every step is
 *       exactly `max_timestep`. That is deterministic under any load, which
 *       matters -- the first version placed `gravity_time` at `now - dt` and
 *       let the real clock supply the step, and a machine busy enough to
 *       deschedule the process between that store and the SDL_GetTicksNS()
 *       inside simulate produced a longer step and a red suite. It failed
 *       exactly once, under a parallel ctest, which is the worst way to find
 *       out. That the engine cannot be stepped exactly is itself a finding;
 *       see TODO.md.
