Complete Slice D3 by replacing the unbounded animation dictionary with a concurrent byte/count LRU and by putting the three retail alpha scratch owners behind one typed aggregate budget. Preserve immediate growth and draw order while reclaiming one-frame density spikes after sustained under-use. Close stale bounds-cache issue evidence without inventing a cache.
Move Phase-2 startup behind typed composition/publication boundaries, replace the GameWindow-capturing PhysicsScript gate with a focused deferred source, and own animation-hook registrations reversibly. Make OpenAL construction and teardown transactional so every device, context, source, and buffer prefix is retryable without replay.
