Owner

Part of Epic: shared game shell.

requestAnimationFrame loop with fixed-step update(dt) (e.g. 120 Hz or 60 Hz) and interpolated render(alpha). Clamp large frame gaps (tab switch) to avoid spiral of death.

Acceptance criteria

Deterministic update rate regardless of display refresh
Max catch-up steps clamped
Seeded RNG utility available to games (for daily challenges)
FPS/debug overlay toggle
