Fix region capture, power ownership, click-source reporting, strict timing
Template tests / tests (pull_request) Failing after 33s

Phase 2 of the improvement plan (PR 5 of the sequence). Several confirmed
capture defects from the audit.

Region capture:
- regionCapture returned { ok, step } wrapping storeFrameAsStep's own
  { ok, step }, so the real step was at result.step.step — region selection
  and region auto-doc (which read result.step.stepId) broke. Return the
  storeFrameAsStep result directly.
- pickRegion leaked the region:picked IPC listener (and the overlay/image
  refs) whenever the overlay was cancelled/closed rather than picked: cleanup
  only ran on a pick. Cleanup is now idempotent and runs on pick, close, load
  failure, and settle. The received rectangle is validated and clamped to the
  image (new overlayRectToImageRect handles negative-size drags and
  out-of-bounds selections) so image.crop can never read out of bounds.

Power blocker ownership:
- New single owner: CaptureService.syncPower() holds the blocker iff a session
  is actively recording, called on start/pause/resume/finish. A new session
  starts paused and no longer holds the blocker while idle; tray and
  second-instance pauses that previously bypassed main.js's stop closure now
  release it correctly. main.js provides the power policy (blocker + EcoQoS
  opt-out) via dependency injection.

Explicit click-trigger source:
- startEvdevWatcher never set clickWatcher, so state().clickCapture read false
  while evdev was actively capturing clicks. Replaced the boolean with an
  explicit clickSource (windows-hook | x11 | evdev-x11 | evdev-wayland |
  unavailable); clickCapture is now derived from it. evdev device-stream
  errors/closes now fall back via handleClickWatcherLoss instead of being
  swallowed.

Strict click timing:
- When no pre-click frame qualifies, strict mode previously fell through to a
  fresh (post-click) shot and stored it — contradicting the strict promise.
  It now skips with a capture:diagnostic instead. Non-strict (balanced) mode
  keeps the fresh-shot fallback. Existing tests that exercised the fallback
  now run in balanced mode; the strict test asserts the skip.

Other:
- pathToFileURL replaces file://${p} concatenation for step image URLs and
  export previews (correct for spaces, #, %, drive letters).
- Best-effort click-queue drain on app shutdown (before-quit) so a burst just
  before quit is not lost; bounded so quit never hangs.

Tests: region rect clamping/normalization, power-held-only-while-recording
(incl. finish releases), click-source reporting incl. evdev, drain deadline.
230 unit tests pass. Click self-test: markers 3/3 (strict) and burst 8/8
deterministic across runs; the burst scenario runs in balanced mode because
it tests the drain, not strict timing. (arm/debounce remain the pre-existing
Linux capture failures untouched by this PR.)
