+// InterpolationManager — retail CPhysicsObj interpolation queue.
+//
+// Ports:
+//   CPhysicsObj::InterpolateTo          (acclient @ 0x005104F0)
+//   InterpolationManager::adjust_offset (acclient @ 0x00555D30)
+//   InterpolationManager::UseTime       (acclient @ 0x00555F20) — stall/blip
+//
+// FIFO position-waypoint queue (cap 20). On each physics tick the caller
+// passes current body position + max-speed from the motion table; we return
+// the delta vector to apply to the body for this frame.
+//
+// Queue semantics:
+//   - Head = next target.  Body walks toward head at catch-up speed.
+//   - Tail = most-recent server position.  On stall we blip directly to tail
+//     (retail UseTime @ 0x00555F20: copies tail_ position, calls
+//     CPhysicsObj::SetPositionSimple, then StopInterpolating).
+//
+// Constants verified from named binary at the addresses cited above (not
+// guesses):
+//   MAX_INTERPOLATED_VELOCITY_MOD = 2.0
+//   MAX_INTERPOLATED_VELOCITY     = 7.5
+//   MIN_DISTANCE_TO_REACH_POSITION = 0.20  (unused here — kept for reference)
