//! Physics state snapshots: per-entity transforms, delta compression against a
//! baseline, and a client-side interpolation buffer for smooth rendering.
//!
//! A [`Snapshot`] is the unit of state the host signs and ships to clients each
//! network tick. It is intentionally transform-centric (position / velocity /
//! orientation) plus a sidecar of [`Stats`] so the hot path stays small while
//! still letting the cryptographic commitment cover gameplay-relevant numbers.
