 | `sim.snapshot()` / `sim.restore()` | In-memory field snapshot |
 
+In-memory snapshots save populations only. Restore keeps the current clock,
+controls, observations, geometry and flags; use it only while geometry is
+unchanged. This is not a restart or an FSI rollback. In particular, do not
+restore a snapshot taken before a translating circle changed position.
+This geometry restriction is a caller precondition, not a runtime check.
