Standing still now fidgets as the original does (0x800563bc, run each frame from 0x80056834 for the base track):

• In table state 0, +0xf2 counts down by dt from 1200 (0x80057244 sets it with +0xf0 = 23). At 0 the state becomes +0xf0, and +0xf0 swaps between 23 and 24.
• In any other state, +0xf2 is set back to 1200.
• States 23 and 24 complete (end word 1) back to standing.

So a body that stands still for 120 frames plays one fidget, stands for another 120, then plays the other. The oracle showed both (hub frame 2550: 24; level 3 frame 2880: 23). It applies to the player and NPCs alike, since it lives in Animator::step.

The port skips a fidget the body's table has no frames for. The original would play an empty animation; none of the bodies tried lacks them. The level 3 sequence test now checks 23, 0, 24.
