// Package coast is what happens where the land meets the sea.
//
// Until this pass existed the coastline was only a *line*: the continent mask said which cells were ocean,
// the fluvial solve held those cells at sea level as its base level, and afterwards the sea floor was dropped
// to a flat plane 180 m down in one step. That is enough to give the solve a well-posed boundary — which is
// why D-48 kept the continent — and it is not a coast. There was no shelf, so a third of the map was a flat
// plane occupying a third of the elevation range; there was no surf, so the land met the water at whatever
// angle the last erosion step happened to leave it; and there was no sediment, so every bay was as deep as
// every headland was steep.
//
// # The three things this pass adds, and why each is a process rather than a shape
//
// 1. The shelf. A continental margin is a shelf at a very gentle grade out to a shelf break and then a much
// steeper slope to the abyssal floor. The width of the shelf is not a constant: it is wide off a low
// coastal plain and narrow where a range comes down to the water. So it is read off the relief standing
// behind each stretch of shore rather than set, and the same manifest numbers then produce a wide shelf
// on a passive coast and a narrow one on an active coast without either having been asked for.
//
// 2. The surf. Within a reach of the waterline the land is planed towards a shore platform. The reach is set
// by how open the water is, so an exposed headland is attacked further inland than the back of a bay. The
// cliff is not drawn: it is the step where the reach ends, and its height is whatever the land behind it
// happened to stand at. That is the right way round — a sea cliff is tall because the land is tall, not
// because a constant says so.
//
// 3. The sediment. What the surf cuts is counted, carried along the shore, and laid down in sheltered water
// shallower than a few tens of metres: beaches and bars in the bays, nothing on the headlands. Rivers
// deliver their own load at their mouths in proportion to what they drain, which is what makes a delta.
// Mass is conserved to within the drift kernel's edges, and what will not fit under the berm is reported
// rather than quietly dropped.
//
// # Why it runs after the solve and not before
//
// Two of the three need the finished terrain: the shelf width is a function of the relief behind the shore,
// and the surf cuts into whatever the solve built. The third could run before but would then be erased. So
// this pass owns the sea floor outright — uplift.Build no longer produces a bathymetry field — and it is the
// last thing that touches the geology grid.
//
// The one invariant it must not break: the sea floor is laid after the solve, never during it. A coastal cell
// drains into an ocean cell, and if that ocean cell sits at -180 m then the solver cuts the river down to
// -180 m; the first run with a coast eroded the land to 174 m below sea level for exactly that reason. A
// river's base level is sea level, and what the sea floor does below that is scenery.
