Summary
Reduce per-rail allocation and copying in the once-per-second simulation hot path without changing signal reservation semantics.
Problem
For every rail and every simulation tick, the current implementation:
The same client set is therefore materialized R times for R rails, and unchanged reservation maps still incur copying.
Change
Simulator.tick()and pass the array to every rail.The unavoidable client update scan remains O(R × C), but temporary client arrays fall from O(R × C) references to O(C), and reservation history rotation becomes O(1) rather than O(entries).
Validation
./gradlew test --no-daemonPart of #32.
