wip(assembler): round S5 -- streaming gates + trace; coarse-first order kept opt-in (no win)

Walkable/enclosed/refined gates defined; JSONL trace joins request, worker start,
build/apply and discards. Coarse-first + dynamic near reserve behind
voxel.StreamingCoarseFirst / voxel.StreamingDynamicNearReserve (default 0 =
S4 order): matched runs showed no walkability or full-view win and slower
LOD0/1 refinement. Instruments settled: 3.1 s standalone reproduced (16.7 s was
another generation route); black early captures were clear-only frames.
Hashes equal S4; Core-off, M2, SurfaceWorld/FloatingIslands BuildHost pass.
