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.
