The map only ever gained density: hubs were sized by lifetime-cumulative
bytes (so they never shrank) and were never removed. Now each hub has a
decaying activity level — quiet districts visibly shrink toward a dormant
dot — and after a configurable idle timeout (~40s, NC_REAP_TICKS) the hub
is demolished: faded out, removed with its road, and its per-org state
pruned in the controller.
