- The roof is rescanned only in area columns that changed since the last scan: a quiet Huge
world goes from 4.60 to 1.88 ms per scan (every 20 ticks).
- The heat pass skips react() for solids and powders below their first reaction threshold:
Huge world digging 2.54 -> 2.34 ms/tick, quiet 1.39 -> 1.18.
- Every suite's output is identical apart from timing lines; seeds make the same worlds.
- test/t_sim_optimizations.js checks the dirty roof against a full scan and the heat loop
against the reference loop byte for byte.
