/**
* capsule_vm_physics.h - Dynamic VM Fleet Physics
*
* Structural parallel to the word-level physics engine (execution heat,
* decay, rolling-window history, regression-inferred slope) applied to
* VMs instead of dictionary words. Kernel-only: no hosted-build
* equivalent, since the hosted build has no multi-VM fleet.
*
* sum(execution_heat_q48 for all LIVE VMs) == Q.1 is a conservation
* invariant, held by construction: every state change is a balanced
* transfer (see design doc VM-PHYSICS-DYNAMIC-FLEET-DESIGN-20260705.md).
*
* This is a passive observer of VM activity, never a driver of it —
* there is no scheduler here. Recording happens only at existing
* dispatch points (BIRTH, KILL, VM-EXEC, VM-CALL, VM-STEP).
