gramps 09a866e6a1 perf(pump): slice 6 — break the 15.6ms sleep quantum (the REAL ceiling behind takes 7-9)
Take 9's numbers were decisive: paste cache moved work to ~25ms/frame but the
period stayed ~37ms. The missing ~12ms per tick is Task.Delay rounding every
sub-tick request up to the Windows system-clock tick (~15.6ms default —
documented: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading.tasks.task.delay).
A frame finishing 3ms early requested 3ms and slept 15.6. Producer capped at
~27fps no matter how fast the compositor got — which is why two real render
fixes read as 'zero change' in playback. Game-loop/OBS canon for this
(stackoverflow.com/questions/5441464; learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/
api/timeapi/nf-timeapi-timebeginperiod): raise the timer resolution for the
session, sleep only the bulk of the remainder, and SPIN the last ~2ms across
the deadline.

- FramePump: timeBeginPeriod(1) on entering the pump loop, timeEndPeriod(1) in
  the finally; pacing = bulk _pacingDelay(ahead - 2ms) + bounded Thread.SpinWait
  tail; blown deadlines rebase unchanged (never burst).
- Stats now report avg wait: render+submit+wait must equal the period — the
  accounting is closed, no stage can hide in an unmeasured gap again.
- Webcam dropped its IsOpaque paste-cache bypass: it re-sampled ~156k px every
  tick even between identical device frames; cached paste beats the sampler on
  hits, costs the same on misses.

52/52 per-class green (pacing + pixel suites unchanged — output byte-stable),
clean build 0 warnings. Docs same commit (ai.md slice 6, TASKS.md take-10
gate, MyMistakes #3 + renumber, HANDOFF). User's top-bar spec remains next in
queue (Unit B) — re-sent many times, captured, no open questions.
