perf(apply): stutter is NOT the game thread -- and the flat floor cannot be relaxed

Two things the owner reported from playing 412a7ad. One is answered, one is a null
result that Codex flagged itself rather than dressing up.

THE FLATTENED TUNNEL FLOORS -- capability-safe, and worth almost nothing
He has now flagged these twice: every tunnel carries a smooth flat strip running in
and out through otherwise craggy rock. The idea was to make the floor CONDITIONAL --
assert it only where the natural rock fails walkability, leave the rock alone
elsewhere. Cheaper and better looking, in theory.

The floor is now skipped only when the exact no-floor field passes the same
player-fit validator at foot offsets 0, -1, +1. Unknown or failed keeps the slab.

  natural-floor skips accepted   1,539 of 1,529,241 tests   = 0.10%
  player-fit cells        20,153 -> 20,153
  reachable cells         10,483 -> 10,483
  arrival -> departure    connected, both
  dihedral p50/p90        2.5429 / 33.8499 deg, IDENTICAL
  mesh time (their batch) 1.757135 -> 1.757140 s

Capability preserved exactly. Visual complaint NOT solved, and no speed gained.

⭐ The useful part is what it PROVED by trying to go further. Every broader policy
lost walkable space:
    analytic-only        fit -217, reachable -195
    tightened analytic   fit  -76, reachable  -76
    exact +/-4 foot      fit  -16, reachable  -16
⇒ The floor cannot be relaxed without changing the walkability contract or adding a
route-aware global proof. That is a real constraint, now measured rather than assumed.

Codex's own words, and it was right to lead with them: "the conservative floor change
is capability-safe, but it does not visibly solve the flattened-strip complaint."

THE STUTTER -- measured, and it is not where we thought
Game-thread apply, meshed tiles, under -nullrhi:

  total apply            p50 0.107 ms   p95 0.153 ms   max 0.273 ms
    stream upload/RMC    p50 0.040      p95 0.088      max 0.124
    component creation   p50 0.019      p95 0.021      max 0.035
    registration         p50 0.010      p95 0.011      max 0.020
    collision config     p50 0.005      p95 0.007      max 0.019

A quarter of a millisecond at worst. The game-thread drain is NOT the hitch.
⇒ Remaining visible stutter is most likely render-thread/RHI work or asynchronous
collision cooking behind RealtimeMeshComponent, which is off-limits for edits.

Added anyway as a cheap safety valve: MaxMeshApplyMilliseconds, default 2 ms of drain
budget per frame. Over 729 apply frames: drain p50/p95/max 0.111/0.182/0.313 ms,
budget hits 0, at most 2 visible applies in a frame. It costs nothing today and caps
a future burst.

Request-to-ready, now timed after game-thread application:
  all     p50 57.1 ms   p95 432.9 ms   max 919.4 ms   -> 2.60 m at 6 m/s
  meshed  p50 134.1 ms  p95 457.4 ms   max 919.4 ms

⚠️ My own verification: 1.197 / 1.131 / 1.118 s vs 1.088-1.102 s on 412a7ad. Mean
+4.7% -- below the 17% noise floor, but slower in all three runs, and the validator
runs 1.5M times to accept 1,539 skips. Geometry moved by 4 triangles (153,740 ->
153,744), which is allowed. If the next round cannot make that validator earn its
place, it should come out.

Build 0 errors. Peak RSS 1.67 GB export / 1.90 GB game. Nothing outside
Plugins/VoxelForge; RealtimeMeshComponent untouched.
