passages: prepared per-segment data + per-column XY projection cache (L98, exact)

Per-world prepared chord/length/radius/Catmull-Rom/floor-profile data (310 segments, ~66 KB,
<0.04 ms); same expression grouping, divisions and square roots, so output is bit-identical
(zero density/tile mismatches, Clang vs GCC equal). No measurable readiness gain - the cost is
the number of samples running passage work, not per-sample arithmetic. Note: the report's
world labels are shifted by one row (the 2,850-tile row is SurfaceWorld). Fast tier PASS;
Linux UE host builds.
