gramps fbc8562cf4 perf(capture): slice 8 — buffer ring + paste-cache Epoch; gen2 visibility (take-11 spikes)
Take 11 (c10ce06c) validated the off-UI architecture: typical frames land
work ~10ms + wait ~6.8ms = 16.7 exactly on the deadline; 212/300 best yet.
The ENTIRE remaining gap is periodic 35-65ms render spikes that WORSENED
across the take (189 -> 147) — the signature of gen2 GC pauses. Biggest
churner is structural: the screen capture minted a fresh ~8.3MB byte[] per
DWM frame (~500MB/s of LOH), a producer OBS never does (it owns fixed
surface pools).

- ScreenCaptureFrameSource: 4-deep buffer ring with size-matched slots (a
  <=17ms consumer cannot be lapped at 60Hz) + reused downscale row scratch.
- VideoFrame.Epoch: monotonic per producer frame. The paste cache keys on
  array IDENTITY, so recycled arrays MUST be distinguished — epoch joins the
  PasteKey. Producers handing fresh arrays leave it 0 (key unchanged effect).
- Stats print 'gen2 +N' per 5s window: next take acquits or convicts GC
  without another guess (rule: prove the stage).
- Test (the ONE): PasteCache_RecycledArrayWithNewEpoch_ReRasterizes_NotStaleHits
  — same array, new content, bumped epoch; fails on the old key by
  construction. 37/37 compositor/pump, clean build.
- Next suspect if gen2 stays hot: the 10Hz WebView2 capture (full-canvas PNG
  decode + fresh arrays on the UI thread) — recorded, untouched.

Creator audio ask queued in the same working session (+40% post-mix master
gain before the -1dBFS limiter) lands as its own commit next.

gramps 432adfdaef perf(render): take-4 slice 2 — IsOpaque memcpy, integer bilinear, pump scratch pool
Take 4: pacing held (sync perfect) but avg render stayed 58.9ms — 2M
managed row-walk iterations + a fresh 8.3MB buffer every tick (LOH churn
into GC stalls inside the render measurement).

- VideoFrame.IsOpaque: producer-contract flag (screen capture + webcam —
  DWM/MF fill alpha 255; media/chat/web/static NOT flagged). Full-cover
  aligned opaque backdrop = ONE Buffer.BlockCopy; black pre-fill skipped
  when it covers.
- General BlitContent: integer 8.8 fixed-point bilinear + blend, row
  invariants hoisted, no per-pixel division/Math.Round. Within ±1 of the
  float reference (pixel tests allow ±2). Research per derivative-work
  rule: libyuv row/scale kernels (chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv).
- FramePump scratch pool (max 4, length-keyed, owned-by-reference):
  release strictly AFTER SubmitFrameAsync returns (stdin write copies);
  Contains-guard makes the transition Cut alias safe.
- Removed the dead per-tick fromScene render + fromSceneProvider seam —
  BlendFrame consumes TransitionService.FromFrame captured at Start; the
  pump's render fed nothing. MainViewModel call site updated (signature).

Bugs caught by the pixel probes pre-ship (recorded MyMistakes): first
Bilinear double-shifted both stages (solid-255 sampled to ~1 -> general
path drew nothing); sentinel 0xAB collided with an x+y pixel. FakeEncoder
snapshots submitted frames (mirrors real copy semantics under recycling).

ONE integration test: Pump_Pools_ScratchBuffers_Across_Frames_Without_
Stale_Pixels (alternating backdrops + repeated backing identity). Direct
pin: Composite_OpaqueFullCover_Backdrop_CopiesEveryPixel_Into_Scratch.
Clean build 0 warnings; 59/59 per-class + RealApp boot-smoke. take 5
verdict: expect avg render <= ~10ms, ~300/300 frames. Docs same commit:
ai.md pipeline section, TASKS.md TASK 18, HANDOFF rewritten (Unit B spec
+ settled decisions queued).
