// world/tube.js (Lane A) — chunked tube geometry + the streaming window.
//
// The canal is extruded as rings along the parallel-transport frames and cut into chunks of
// ~CHUNK_LEN. Chunks are built/disposed around playerS so a 3000-unit level costs the same as
// a 300-unit one. Chunk seams are aligned to segment (biome) boundaries so a chunk never spans
// two biomes: each chunk gets exactly one material, and the tint changes exactly at the
// anatomical join — which is where a sphincter is anyway (GDD §structure).
