enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 a1285dfa13 fix(host): IDD capture immune to display-config stalls/flaps + metronomic-recovery self-diagnosis
Field report (0.8.2→0.8.4): metronomic stutter every ~3.7-4 s, each event a
double-jolt, on ALL clients — and the same box stuttered on Apollo (virtual
display) but not Sunshine (physical). The disturbance class is host-side
display-topology events / display-poller software (SteelSeries-GG class,
Apollo #480/#358/#368) hitting the virtual-display path. Three changes make
the IDD path resilient to it and self-diagnosing:

- DescriptorPoller: the display-descriptor CCD queries (QueryDisplayConfig
  twice per sample) serialize on the session-global display-config lock,
  which topology churn and display-poller software can hold for tens-to-
  hundreds of ms. Polled inline, that stall landed ON the capture/encode
  thread 4x/s — a periodic frame hitch, invisible in any log. A dedicated
  thread now samples every 250 ms and publishes a snapshot; the capture loop
  pays one uncontended mutex read, and a sample slower than 50 ms logs a
  rate-limited warn — the stall is measured instead of streamed.

- Flap immunity: advanced_color_enabled returns Option (None on a failed
  query or the target briefly missing from the active paths during a
  re-probe) and the poller keeps last-known-good per field — a transient no
  longer reads as "HDR off", which used to cost an HDR session TWO spurious
  ring recreates (false, then true again a poll later). On top, a two-strikes
  debounce: only two consecutive samples agreeing on the same new descriptor
  trigger the recreate; a real "Use HDR" flip or game mode-set still lands
  in ~1/2 s.

- RecoveryCadence: served recovery IDRs within 1.5 s coalesce into one event
  (a double-jolt's paired IDRs count once); four consecutive events evenly
  spaced (±20%) warn "client keyframe recoveries are METRONOMIC — a periodic
  host/display disturbance, not random network loss" with the measured
  period (re-warn ≤ every 30 s) — so an affected host self-diagnoses in its
  own log / web console instead of reporting "nothing in the logs". Unit
  tests include the field report's exact double-jolt-pair schedule.

Verified: host tests + clippy clean on Linux and on the RTX box (211/211,
--features nvenc).
