  * A joint is a configurable 6-DOF constraint ({@link Joint}); each relative
  * degree of freedom is independently locked / free / limited / springy /
- * motorised. This module implements **LOCKED linear** DOFs first — i.e. the
- * ball-socket (point-to-point) joint, which alone covers chains, ropes, and
- * pendulums. Angular locks, limits, springs and motors slot into the same
- * per-DOF loop as they land.
+ * motorised. This module implements **LOCKED** and **LIMITED** DOFs (linear
+ * and angular). LOCKED + FREE express the ball-socket, hinge, weld, and
+ * prismatic joints; LIMITED adds slider end-stops and joint range-of-motion.
+ * Springs and motors slot into the same per-DOF row model as they land.
  *
- * Row math is identical in shape to a contact's normal row: for a unit axis
- * `d` and lever arms `rA = anchorA − comA`, `rB = anchorB − comB`,
- *   `K = invMA + invMB + (rA×d)·Iw_A·(rA×d) + (rB×d)·Iw_B·(rB×d)`,
- *   `vrel = (vA + ωA×rA − vB − ωB×rB) · d`,
- *   `λ = −(1/K)·(vrel + bias)`,
- * applied as `±λ·d` at the anchors. Locked DOFs are bilateral (no clamp); the
- * position error is corrected by a SPOOK velocity bias. Geometry (anchors /
- * lever arms / position error) is recomputed from the current pose every
- * substep, so the joint tracks the bodies as they move.
+ * ## One row model, parameterised by mode
+ *
+ * Every DOF resolves to the same scalar velocity row, contact-shaped: for a
+ * unit axis `d` and lever arms `rA = anchorA − comA`, `rB = anchorB − comB`,
+ *   `K = invMA + invMB + (rA×d)·Iw_A·(rA×d) + (rB×d)·Iw_B·(rB×d)`  (linear)
+ *   `K = d·Iw_A·d + d·Iw_B·d`                                       (angular)
+ *   `vrel = (vA + ωA×rA − vB − ωB×rB) · d`   (linear, A−B)
+ *   `vrel = (ωB − ωA) · d`                   (angular, B−A)
+ *   `λ = clamp(λ_acc − (1/K)·(vrel + bias)) − λ_acc`,
+ * applied as `±λ·d`. The **mode** picks only two row parameters:
+ *   - LOCKED  → `bias = β/h · error`, impulse clamp `(−∞, +∞)` (bilateral).
+ *   - LIMITED → row active only when the DOF position is at/beyond a bound;
+ *     `bias = β/h · (position − bound)`, impulse clamp one-sided
+ *     (`[0, +∞)` at the lower stop, `(−∞, 0]` at the upper). The clamp makes
+ *     it a unilateral push-out-of-violation constraint, exactly like a contact
+ *     normal — the limit can only resist crossing the stop, never pull the DOF
+ *     back into range.
+ * The warm-start and the iteration loop are mode-agnostic; they read the
+ * per-DOF `(active, effMass, bias, clampLo, clampHi)` filled by the mode-aware
+ * setup. Geometry (anchors / lever arms / position error) is recomputed from
+ * the current pose every substep, so the joint tracks the bodies as they move.
+ *
+ * The "position" along a DOF is `C · axis` for linear (signed anchor offset in
+ * metres) and `e · axis` for angular, where `e = 2·sign(qD.w)·qD.xyz` is the
+ * small-angle rotation vector of the relative rotation `qD = conj(qA)⊗qB`,
+ * expressed in frame-A-local coordinates (so error component `k` pairs with
+ * frame axis `k`). The angular position is therefore a first-order (small
+ * angle) measure: accurate for the modest ranges of slider/hinge end-stops,
+ * but it under-reports large angles (`2·sin(θ/2)` vs `θ`). Accurate wide-cone
+ * range-of-motion (ragdoll shoulders) needs the swing-twist decomposition,
+ * tracked as the follow-up; angular LIMITED here is the moderate-range cut.
+ * The decomposition itself is already implemented — reuse
+ * `Quaternion.computeSwingAndTwist(axis, swing, twist)` /
+ * `computeTwistAngle(axis)` (`core/geom/Quaternion.js`) on the relative
+ * rotation `qD` rather than writing a new one.

+ * Writes `active / eff / bias / clampLo / clampHi` at index `k` of the supplied
+ * arrays and, for LIMITED, resets the warm-start impulse when the active bound
+ * flipped (a stale opposite-side impulse must not warm-start).
+ *
+ * ## LIMITED is a speculative (β = 1) one-sided velocity constraint
+ *
+ * Rather than waiting for the DOF to cross a stop and then pushing back with a
+ * Baumgarte bias — which injects real velocity and makes the stop *bounce* when
+ * nothing else loads the joint — the limit row is always live and uses the full
+ * `(position − bound)/h` as its bias. With the impulse clamped to one side this
+ * removes exactly the approach velocity that would overshoot, so the DOF
+ * **lands on the bound** with zero relative velocity (an inelastic stop, no
+ * penetration to recover, no rebound). When the DOF is far from the bound the
+ * large same-signed bias drives the clamp to zero, so the row is a no-op — it
+ * self-gates on approach. At a stop held by a sustained load (gravity on a
+ * slider) the per-substep load and the per-substep warm-start cancel, so the
+ * DOF rests exactly on the bound, mirroring a resting contact.
+ *
+ * Only the *push-out* side of the bias is clamped (to {@link MAX_JOINT_BIAS}),
+ * so a body teleported deep past a stop is eased out rather than yanked; the
+ * gating side is left unbounded.
+ *
+ * The active bound is the violated one, else — within range — the one the DOF
+ * is moving toward (`vel` sign). LOCKED is unchanged: a bilateral row with a
+ * `β/h` Baumgarte bias and no clamp.
+ *
+ * ## MOTOR drives the relative velocity toward a target
+ *
+ * A motor is a velocity row biased to the target (`bias = −target`, so the
+ * solve drives the relative velocity to the target) with the impulse clamped to
+ * `±maxForce·h` — a force-limited servo. With an unbounded force budget it is a
+ * perfect velocity drive; with a finite one it pulls toward the target as hard
+ * as it can (a weak motor cannot overcome a heavier load). The target follows
+ * the row's sign convention: linear is A−B along the frame axis, angular is
+ * B−A about it.
+ *
+ * ## SPRING is a SPOOK soft (compliant) constraint
+ *
+ * A spring drives the DOF position toward zero with stiffness `k` (N/m or
+ * N·m/rad) and damping `c`, as a *regularised* row rather than a hard one. The
+ * implicit-Euler soft constraint (Catto, "Soft Constraints") gives, per substep
+ * `h`, with `denom = c + h·k`:
+ *   `γ = 1 / (h·denom)`         the compliance / regularisation (inverse mass),
+ *   `bias = (k/denom)·C`        the restoring velocity, and a softened effective
+ *   `effMass = 1/(K + γ)`       mass — so the row solves
+ *   `λ = −effMass·(vrel + bias + γ·λ_accum)`.
+ * The `γ·λ_accum` term is what makes it compliant (the constraint yields in
+ * proportion to the force it carries), so a spring under load settles at a
+ * deflection rather than snapping rigid. Stiffness-only (`c = 0`) oscillates
+ * undamped; damping-only (`k = 0`) is a pure damper; both zero is inert. The
+ * row is bilateral (no clamp). This is the suspension / bungee / soft-return
+ * element, and the soft basis for cone-twist later. The angular position uses
+ * the same small-angle measure as LIMITED (good for modest ranges).
+ *
+ * @param {Joint} joint   the joint (per-DOF config + warm-start impulse read here)
