Detailed Description

The production ThermoAccessor for the hydro sub-step: Cantera's two-temperature PlasmaPhase behind HydroStep's injected interface.

Kept in its own translation unit because ThermoAccessor.h, and the HydroStep.h that consumes it, are deliberately Cantera-free – that is what lets the pure-array unit tests run the whole scheme with no mechanism loaded. This header is the one place the two meet.

Why the Strang loop needs it rather than the gamma-law stub. The reaction half-step already evaluates Cantera thermo. A gamma-law hydro half would leave the two halves of one step disagreeing on the equation of state, so p and e would not round-trip across the split and the discrepancy would read as a flux or source bug.
