Build 24 - native driving stabilization and diagnostics

Corner-geometry, target-bearing and reverse-recovery waypoint holds now share one four-second deadline, checked on the existing FF route-follower ticks.
Forward stop release requires 600 ms stable body clearance and a clear one-second restart forecast at at least 15 km/h. Fully passed blockers, vertical separation and clear native reverse escape remain available.
Added exact stop-release reasons, restart forecast readbacks and nonempty long-to-short native path transition logging.
Backtracking alerts now use the same nearest-point window as recorded paths and require actual backward path progress. Route alerts are limited to 64 incident files, retaining the remaining budget for road departures, damage and braking fallback.

Custom overtaking and early waypoint advancement remain disabled. Native PID, steering-rate, turn-radius and speed tuning are unchanged. Native logic still owns avoidance and reverse recovery.
342 source and packed validation checks pass; PC and dedicated-server resource builds pass. Live driving improvements remain experimental and unverified.

1.0.18

Build 22: gentler native steering, progressive pre-contact vehicle braking, simulation-phase brake enforcement and overwrite diagnostics, collision-only emergency fallback, tall static-contact protection. Custom overtaking remains disabled. Added installed-build boot/heartbeat, retirement filtering, waypoint-position and road/native-path observations, and bounded incident lead-up recordings. Native regression checks pass; live multiplayer driving evaluation remains required.

Build 2026-10-08.17

Raise passing requests to 90 percent of cruise, capped at 50 km/h for vehicles shorter than six metres and 40 km/h for longer vehicles. Existing curve and transition safety limits remain.
Prevent destination updates more frequently than once per second. Close-target updates require at least six metres of advancement; normal updates retain two seconds and twelve metres.
Keep an additional travel buffer beyond the braking reserve when shortening destinations.
Prevent repeated destination updates from renewing the grace period for persistent native-path problems. Add timing and target diagnostics.
Native radii, PID and braking settings remain unchanged. Source and packed native validation pass 258 checks each. Gameplay improvements still require live testing.
