+/* D243 (M-145): model-lifecycle probe for the Dam-abseil "two Bonds + camera
+ * shake" (M-143/M-145: the gBondViewCutscene POSEND look-at reads
+ * field_3C4/8/C, a leaky-integrator filter of Bond's real position that is
+ * never reset when a cutscene warps him; M-145 ties both symptoms to a
+ * suspected model-remove/recreate window around the CHR_BOND_CINEMA pad
+ * teleports). GE_D243M=1 logs:
+ *   D243M: CREATE/REMOVE -- every bodyModel assignment/removal (the only two
+ *     sites in this file), with camera mode at the moment it happened;
+ *   D243M: tick -- once per playerTick() call while the third-person model
+ *     exists OR a cutscene camera mode (POSEND/INTRO) is active: index, model
+ *     pointer, g_CameraMode, dword_CODE_bss_80079A18, prop->pos,
+ *     field_488.pos, and the filter fields field_3B8 + field_3C4/8/C;
+ *   D243M: draw -- once per on-screen render_pos submission, so a second
+ *     Bond instance shows up as two draw lines (different idx or model
+ *     pointer) at the same frame number.
+ * The frame counter increments once per playerTick() call (solo play: once
+ * per frame); it is NOT necessarily numerically identical to port's internal
+ * g_framesRendered -- cross-reference by elapsed offset, same convention as
+ * front.c's GE_D243 trace. D250: getenv cached. Diagnosis only; zero
+ * behaviour change when unset.
