Showcase: map sector compression (#2967)

We hit a reproducible crash after 6-8 hours uptime. We logged query times over 200ms on market browse during peak hour. Scripts are Lua-only so far; no C++ patches in this branch. What would you change about the economy numbers?

If you share the stacktrace (redact IPs), I can compare with our build.

We documented a similar path in our ops notes last month.
