+Stress tests extreme numerical bounds, edge conditions, invalid inputs, and corrupt state against real production functions:
- Zero, negative, and fractional delta times in the simulation tick loop.
+- Zero, non-finite (`NaN`/`Infinity`), and capped (`200ms`) delta times in `ClientWorld.tick`.
- Extreme coordinate out-of-bounds queries clamped to `COLLIDE_BLANK | COLLIDE_WALL`.
+- Extreme negative and out-of-bounds sub-tile coordinates returning `COLLIDE_BLANK | COLLIDE_WALL` and `ClientWorld.isSubTileBlocked === true`.
- Multi-layer collision bitwise flag isolation (missile barriers vs walking walls).
