- * @file The only thing in this proxy that tells WebTorrent what to fetch.
- *
- * One per torrent. It reads the demand register — the single statement of what
- * anybody wants — and turns it into the library's `select`, `deselect` and
- * `critical`. Nothing else calls those, so two parts of this program can no
- * longer ask for different things and overwrite each other.
- *
- * That used to happen and it is written into the code this replaces. The reader
- * held a moving window; the pool held a whole-file selection; a third place set
- * a window around the read head. A whole-file read undid a seek that had just
- * happened, and the swarm walked forward from the first hole: measured on a
- * 4.7 GB film, a seek to 89.1 % fetched 2.47 GB over 93 s before the segment
- * could be served.
- *
- * **Why urgency is not a number given to the library.** Measured against the
- * vendored 2.8.5: selections are sorted by priority only when one is inserted,
- * and `shufflePriority` then moves the selection just served to the back of the
- * whole non-zero group. Distinct numbers therefore order the list once and
- * round-robin it afterwards. So the ordering is kept HERE, by choosing what to
- * state at all, and the library is given only the distinction it honours:
- * non-zero for what is wanted now, zero for the speculative tail.

-   * The second half of stating a need once. Until 2026-09-02 a reader said the
-   * same thing twice — `protectRange` to the store for memory and a selection
-   * to the torrent for download — and a third piece of code read the first to

-   * WHAT WILL BE READ SOON, WHICH IS NOT WHAT WILL BE DOWNLOADED SOON. Memory
-   * holds the first; the swarm is told the second; and the priority map states

-   *
-   * `AHEAD` used to reach memory, and it is exactly the speculative lead: the
-   * map states one claimant per zone, so on a film with seven zones one `NEAR`
-   * and four `AHEAD` arrived here as five separate holders, each covering tens
-   * of megabytes. Field 2026-09-08: the store reported `5 reader(s) want 24
-   * piece(s) of 25 the store may hold (widest window 17)` — the union of what
-   * was declared equalled the whole capacity, so every admission had to evict a
-   * piece somebody had declared, and 100 of 1395 evictions did. Beside that,
-   * 6565 spills and 7575 revivals in 44 minutes with a median 0.0 s on disk, and
-   * 2138 h264 parse errors on a picture that was being COPIED.
-   *
-   * Raising the allowance does not touch it: a lead stated over the rest of the
-   * film grows to fill whatever memory it is given, and the ratio is unchanged.
-   * What belongs in memory is what a READ is stopped on and the little in front

+   * needs the swarm is told about.
+   *
+   * The second half of stating a need once. Until 2026-09-02 a reader said the
+   * same thing twice — `protectRange` to the store for memory and a selection
+   * to the torrent for download — and a third piece of code read the first to
+   * rebuild the second. Now there is one statement and two views of it, both
+   * computed here.
+   *
+   * WHAT WILL BE READ SOON, WHICH IS NOT WHAT WILL BE DOWNLOADED SOON. Memory
+   * holds the first; the swarm is told the second; and the priority map states
+   * the second, over the whole rest of the film.
+   *
+   * `AHEAD` used to reach memory, and it is exactly the speculative lead: the
+   * map states one claimant per zone, so on a film with seven zones one `NEAR`
+   * and four `AHEAD` arrived here as five separate holders, each covering tens
+   * of megabytes. Field 2026-09-08: the store reported `5 reader(s) want 24
+   * piece(s) of 25 the store may hold (widest window 17)` — the union of what
+   * was declared equalled the whole capacity, so every admission had to evict a
+   * piece somebody had declared, and 100 of 1395 evictions did. Beside that,
+   * 6565 spills and 7575 revivals in 44 minutes with a median 0.0 s on disk, and
+   * 2138 h264 parse errors on a picture that was being COPIED.
+   *
+   * Raising the allowance does not touch it: a lead stated over the rest of the
+   * film grows to fill whatever memory it is given, and the ratio is unchanged.
+   * What belongs in memory is what a READ is stopped on and the little in front
+   * of it — the levels a read itself states — and those are `BLOCKED` and
+   * `NEAR`.
+   *
+   * @returns {void}
