enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 aedee2a4e3 perf(latency): tier-0 attribution + tier-1 send-path levers from the latency plan
design/latency-reduction-2026-07.md T0.1/T0.2/T1.2/T1.3:

- T1.2 rate-capped front-loaded pacing: the paced overflow's budget is now
  min(0.9x slack, overflow wire time at ~3x the live encoder bitrate)
  (PUNKTFUNK_PACE_FACTOR, 0 = legacy deadline-only spread). A 300 KB-1 MB
  frame's tail leaves in ~2-5 ms instead of smearing across ~15 ms at 60 fps;
  GameStream schedule byte-identical (pins unchanged).
- T1.3 data-first wire order: packetize emits every block's data shards before
  any parity (per-block parity pools keep all blocks' parity alive for the
  second pass), so lossless completion stops waiting behind the parity tail.
  EOF = last emitted packet; receiver already order-agnostic.
- T0.1 staged 0xCF: HostTiming gains an append-extensible per-stage tail
  (queue/encode/pace us; seal+channel-wait derived as residual) - no cap bit
  needed, old peers read the 13-byte prefix. Joined client-side into
  Stats::host_{queue,encode,xfer,pace}_ms, the OSD detailed tier, and the
  probe's report.
- T0.2 true on-glass present timing: VK_KHR_present_id/present_wait enabled
  when supported; a PresentTimer waiter thread resolves each present id to
  real visibility, replacing the submit-time display stamp (which undercounts
  by up to a refresh and hides a silent-FIFO standing queue).

Validated on .21: core 185 + host 185 tests, pf-presenter 19, clippy
-D warnings across all five touched crates; loss-harness recovery curve
unchanged; C ABI harness round-trips.
