Friction limit uses this iteration normal correction instead of the accumulated normal impulse · case 02

Friction vanishes on resting contacts once the normal impulse has converged.

Case contract

solve(vn0, vt0, w, mu, iterations, cached, warm): several contact points share one relative normal and tangent velocity with inverse mass w. Warm start each point with warm*cached [jn, jt] and apply it to the velocities. Each iteration visits points in order: friction first (accumulated jt clamped to |jt|<=mu*jn), then normal (accumulated jn clamped >=0). Return [jn list, jt list, vn, vt] 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.
