jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 4.6 3323678ddf feat(simulation): implement symmetric shadowcasting for LOS (#359, #110)
Add Albert Ford's symmetric shadowcasting algorithm using rational
fraction slopes. Benchmarked 1.2-10.5x faster than recursive with
guaranteed symmetry (if A sees B, B sees A). Resolves Q-018 as D-035.

//! Shadowcasting field-of-view algorithms
//!
//! This module implements two shadowcasting algorithms for FOV calculation:
//! 1. Albert Ford's Symmetric Shadowcasting (production algorithm)
//! 2. Traditional Recursive Shadowcasting (reference implementation)
//!
//! Coordinate system: Y-down (North = y-1, South = y+1)
//!
//! References:
//! - Symmetric: https://www.albertford.com/shadowcasting/
//! - Traditional: RogueBasin recursive shadowcasting
