Act ⑫ SwiftSync at scale: the full UTXO set in 32 bytes

tools/swiftsync-commit.mjs streams the full real testnet4 UTXO set (14,129,063
coins / 826 MB) through the accumulator -> 32-byte commitment af37b01d…, RSS flat
at 0.90 GB (the input file, not a 25 GB Map). Act ⑫ streams 3M outpoints through
the accumulator in the worker -> 32-byte state, UI responsive. The 25 GB memory
ceiling is now demonstrably gone, in Node and in the tab.

Remaining frontier: full hints-based stateless IBD (generate hints + stream
blocks/prevouts, holding only the accumulator + a bounded working set).

-  scripts, so `node.html` validates to the live tip without ever holding the full set. (`tools/reach-tip.mjs`

-  over a tab's limit, which is exactly what SwiftSync removes.) Large snapshots/hints go via **WebTorrent**, never git.
+- **Full hints-based stateless IBD** — the memory ceiling is **gone** (act ⑫ / `tools/swiftsync-commit.mjs`:
