/**
 * One step of the combat ship's FLIGHT FEEL (the range's WASD handling —
 * js/combat/CombatScene.js): a smoothed turn rate, a ramped throttle,
 * and an instant brake. Pure — no Phaser — so it runs in bare Node
 * (dev/combat.test.mjs) and the scene just reads the result onto the
 * arcade body each frame.
 *
 * The feel state `st` is: `{ rot, turnVel, throttle, brake }`
 *   rot      — the render heading (rad); the scene assigns it to the ship
 *   turnVel  — the current turn velocity (rad/s), eased toward ±rotSpeed
 *   throttle — 0..1, eased toward 1 while `up`, toward 0 when released;
 *              the scene scales the weapon-free thrust by it
 *   brake    — the instant reverse-throttle fraction while `down` (0..1)
 *
 * `input` is the boolean key state `{ left, right, up, down }`.
 * `cfg` (data/combat.json → player): rotSpeed (rad/s sustained turn),
 * rotApproach (1/s, how fast turnVel settles — smoothing), thrustRamp
 * (1/s, throttle-up responsiveness), thrustDecay (1/s, throttle release),
 * brake (fraction of FULL thrust, instant while down).
 * Exponential approaches ⇒ frame-rate independent, no overshoot.
 *
 * @param {{rot?: number, turnVel?: number, throttle?: number, brake?: number}} st
 * @param {{left?: boolean, right?: boolean, up?: boolean, down?: boolean}} input
 * @param {number} dt seconds (clamped to ≤ 0.1 — a backgrounded tab can't fast-forward the feel)
