enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 f407f41855 fix(apple): present windowed macOS PyroWave via IOSurface layer contents — swapID panic survives glass pacing
The DCP "mismatched swapID's" kernel panic reproduced on a 240 Hz Mac
Studio with stage-3 glass pacing active: a fully serialized,
one-in-flight present stream still races WindowServer's own swap
submissions. So the mitigation has to change the MECHANISM, not the
rate — the CAMetalLayer image queue itself is the racing path in a
composited (windowed) session.

Windowed PyroWave now presents the way video players do: the planar
CSC renders into a pooled IOSurface (4 × BGRA8, in-use-aware LRU
reuse) and the render thread hands it to a plain CALayer's `contents`
on main inside an ordinary CATransaction. WindowServer treats that as
normal layer damage on its own composite cadence — no out-of-band
image-queue swaps to race. Fullscreen keeps the CAMetalLayer path
(direct scanout, no compositing, no panic reports); the hosting view
pushes the window's composited state on every layout, and flipping
modes just covers/uncovers the metal layer (no black flash).

VT codecs keep the metal path everywhere: no panic reports there, and
their HDR/EDR presentation has no surface-contents equivalent wired.
