gramps 5e78065c2d fix(web): web-layer capture cadence 10Hz → ~30Hz while recording — widget animations no longer play ~1/6 speed
The recording is 60fps but WebView2 capture was a blind 100ms DispatcherTimer = 10Hz;
each captured web frame repeated ~6x into the file caps web animation at the capture
rate, not the page's (user: 'the animation appears to be too slow').

- New CaptureScheduler (Services/CaptureScheduler.cs): per-session dispatcher timer
  that DROPS a tick while a capture is in flight (latest-wins, never queues) — the
  guard that makes a higher cadence safe: concurrent full-HD PNG CapturePreviewAsync
  calls (~10-30ms each, slow per WebView2Feedback#20) would stack CPU and publish
  stale-after-fresh. Effective cadence = max(interval, capture duration).
- Cadence: SetCaptureInterval(33) on record/stream start, (200) idle — applied via
  MainViewModel.Streaming.Operations.cs.
- De-throttle the hidden page: shared CoreWebView2Environment created BEFORE
  EnsureCoreWebView2Async with --disable-backgrounding-occluded-windows
  --disable-renderer-backgrounding --disable-features=CalculateNativeWinOcclusion.
  Off-screen WebView2 is a hidden page when the host window is unfocused/covered and
  Chromium then parks rAF and clamps timers to ~1s (WebView2Feedback#1172/#3070,
  Chrome-88 timer-throttling blog).
- Telemetry: first 30 captures per session log elapsed ms (PNG encode + decode) to
  startup.log — that decides whether ~30Hz stays or drops to ~20Hz; the FramePump
  drops frames (never time-lapses, slice 10) if UI-thread GC churn starves it.
- ONE test: CaptureScheduler_Drops_Ticks_While_Capture_InFlight_And_Resumes
  (deterministic TCS-driven, no WebView2 runtime). Suite 290/291 — sole failure the
  pre-existing compositor pixel test.
- Docs same-commit: ai.md slice 11, MyMistakes.md, HANDOFF.

Monetization policy locked + dev pause recorded (docs changeset, 2026-08-14): the one paid line becomes an annual subscription — early access $49.99/yr → $99/yr list at GA, grandfather-while-subscribed with lapse → list on renewal (no escalation matrix); free tier unchanged (branding flash is the free tier's billboard + no Alerts, which is the one paid feature); billing NOT locked to itch.io (hunted fact: itch.io has no native subscription billing — candidates Gumroad, whose native affiliate program is the tiebreaker, and Lemon Squeezy); support = in-app bug-report → git issues with a when-I-get-around-to-it cadence + emergency patches. ai.md Monetization section rewritten + stale paid-unlock seams fixed (L115 subscription-entitlement wording, the About hub's tabled billing PremiumUrl seam); TASKS.md gains TASK 23 (Monetization — billing provider decision, unlock mechanism with lapse→flash-returns enforcement, in-app bug-report loop, Unlock Premium seam lighting, Alerts gating, and line-item pointers for the early-access strategy, affiliate/ads phase 2, and the channel revival); HANDOFF.md records the decisions + the development pause (resume streaming = pair-programming dev streams via OBS + The Division 2 under the gramps/GOAT persona, 67 and gaming since 1981, 3D-printing content retired; dogfood switch to ytLlive once TASK 5 lands; resume point = TASK 5). Stale itch.io assertions corrected across comments and indexes (MainViewModel.cs PremiumUrl/IsPremium seams, MainWindow.xaml tooltip, AboutHubTests comment, ViewModels/index.md, TASK 9 out-of-scope note). Build 0 warnings, 196 tests passing
