-/**
- * Closed-form narrowphase helpers for the capsule family. A capsule is the
- * Minkowski sum of a line segment and a sphere of radius `r`, so contact
- * resolution reduces to:
- *   - capsule-sphere      → point-on-segment distance, then sphere-style normal
- *   - capsule-capsule     → segment-segment closest pair
- *   - capsule-box         → segment-vs-OBB closest point (iterative)
- *
- * Output convention (matches the rest of the narrowphase family):
- *   out[0..2] : normal pointing from B toward A
- *   out[3]    : penetration depth (positive)
- *   out[4..6] : world contact on A's surface
- *   out[7..9] : world contact on B's surface

- * Algorithm:

- *  2. Treat each cap centre as a sphere of cap-radius and run
