fix(apple): stage-4 deadline presenter (CAMetalDisplayLink) — iOS default; gate depth back to 1
Field verdict on the depth-2 gate (M4 iPad Pro, 2752x2064@120): display stage 22-28 ms vs depth-1's 14 — a REGRESSION, not the predicted 5-8. Post-mortem: any bounded-FIFO pacing keeps a STANDING queue on the always-vsync-latch platforms. One burst fills every admitted slot and, with arrivals and latches then running at the same rate, occupancy never returns to zero — each gate slot costs one full refresh, permanently (the ladder fits exactly: arrival ~3 slots -> 30+ ms, depth 2 -> 22-28, depth 1 -> 14). A bounded FIFO caps the queue; nothing ever drains it. And depth 1 serializes presents on the on-glass callback's delivery lag, so neither rung can approach the sub-refresh floor. Stage-4 (PresentPacing.deadline) inverts drawable ownership instead: - A CAMetalDisplayLink on its own runloop thread vends ONE deadline-timed drawable per refresh (preferredFrameLatency 1) into a newest-wins LatestBox; an unpresented vend is replaced by the next (back to the pool). - The render thread pairs it with the newest decoded frame the moment either half arrives — the common case presents a frame INSTANTLY into an already- vended drawable, latching the upcoming refresh. No image queue can form and nothing waits on on-glass callbacks (they only feed the meters now). - A stashed drawable can lag a mid-session HDR reconfigure by one vend: encodePresent skips the mismatched-format vend (frame re-rings) instead of tripping Metal validation. - iOS/iPadOS defaults to stage-4; tvOS keeps stage-3 until its own A/B (PUNKTFUNK_PRESENTER=stage4); macOS resolves "stage4" back to its default (the sync-off/DCP-panic saga — deadline pacing lands there deliberately or not at all). Settings picker gains Stage 4 with the derived default marker. - Gate depth defaults to 1 everywhere again; PUNKTFUNK_GATE_DEPTH stays only to reproduce the standing-queue ladder on-device. - PUNKTFUNK_PRESENT_DEBUG gains latchMs p50/max (present-issue -> on-glass: standing queue reads ~n x period, healthy reads < 1 period) + noDrawable=. swift test (14/14) + full Punktfunk-iOS device build green.
