gramps b37b8a30f9 perf(capture): overlap GPU readbacks with monotonic publish gate (slice 17)
Measure take ty-1824 on the slice-16 build: the downscale fix worked (conv
~47ms, ring allocs 0) but desktop band was still 88% frozen at 6.8 updates/s.
Telemetry isolated the real wall — CreateCopyFromSurfaceAsync readback ~45ms
of each conversion, serialized one-in-flight => ~17/s capture cap. Docs fact:
pool-sized surfaces CLIP, not scale (Microsoft Learn), so readback stays
native; the lever is concurrency.

- MaxConcurrentConversions=3 with pool 2->5 buffers (in-flight frames fit)
- new MonotonicGate (Interlocked compare-exchange): stale OLDER completions
  are dropped, never overwrite a newer LatestFrame (mirror of 1742 tear)
- FrameRingBuffer.Rent/ConsumeAllocations now lock; downscale row scratch is
  per-conversion locals
- Good Dog test PublishGate_TryPublish_OnlyStrictlyNewerWins; 296/296 green,
  0 warnings; docs cited Microsoft screen-capture page + libyuv fixed-point.

Local only, no push.

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
