World angular velocity is applied on the body side of the product · case 03

Spinning bodies precess about the wrong axis once they are tilted.

Case contract

solve(q, omega, dt, steps): orientation quaternion [w,x,y,z], world-frame angular velocity omega. Each step q += 0.5*dt*(0,omega) (x) q (Hamilton product, omega on the left), then renormalize to unit length. Return q with w>=0 (negate all components otherwise), rounded to 6.

Why this case matters

Game and robotics physics loops depend on integrator update order, step control and stabilization terms; a wrong decision point turns a stable simulation into drifting or exploding motion.
