Sylpheed RE agent 813ae8c681 docs+tools: why the pilot never fires - the target is behind it, 100% of the time
fire=1 appears in 0 of 13521 samples. The gate that closes is measured rather
than guessed: over the 3004 samples that had a target, |aim yaw| is EXACTLY 90.0
degrees every time, which is the `if ez < 0` branch in sticks() - the target is
astern - with pitch near 180 and a range that grows 22km -> 49km and plateaus.
The craft flies away from what it is chasing for fifteen minutes and the turn
never completes.

What is NOT established is why, and the attempt is withdrawn rather than kept:
aim_probe.py reported the forward vector pinned at [-1,0,0] with 0.00 deg/s under
neutral, full-left and full-right stick, which looks like a stale attitude
matrix - but the guest had FROZEN partway through the probe, confirmed after the
fact by frozen.py and by the player position being identical across 3 s. A dead
world holds every matrix still. The probe is committed because it is the right
experiment; its numbers are not evidence.

One confusion resolved: today's entities2.py "0 moving triples" bind failures are
the freeze, not a tool defect - moving() types entities by position CHANGING, so
a frozen world yields nothing by construction.

live_delta.py gains a per-1MB-region summary; a flat list is useless at 236000
hits.

"""Which guest words are still changing while the game is frozen?
`mission-freeze-resume-spin.md` establishes that a frozen run is guest code
SPINNING — the main thread stays in state `R` and gains ~40 % of a core over ten
seconds while making not one kernel call. Spinning code is waiting for something
in guest memory to change, and its own bookkeeping is the only thing still
moving. So diff guest RAM against itself across a few seconds: while the game
runs this is hopeless (everything moves), but while it is frozen the survivors
should be a handful of words — the loop's counter, and whatever it polls.
The comparison is over the file's *data extents* only (`SEEK_DATA`), so the 4.6 GB
of sparse holes cost nothing, and the first snapshot is kept in memory per extent.
Usage: live_delta.py [gap_s] [max_report] [--range LO HI]
