The remaining 'captured slightly after the click' reports came from the
fresh-shot fallback, which grabs the screen when the click is processed
(after it). The previous lead change made that fallback *more* likely: a
frame now had to be >=120ms before the click to qualify, so on machines
where the capture stream can't always keep a frame that old buffered, more
clicks fell through to the post-click shot.
Make the click-lead a two-tier preference instead of a hard gate in
selectFrameForClick:
1. newest frame captured at least leadMs before the click (ideal margin), else
2. newest frame captured before the click at all.
Only when no pre-click frame exists does the caller fresh-shot. leadMs is
threaded through the stream backend to the worker so both selection paths
agree. Verified end to end: frames land ~120-170ms before each click,
markers stay at 0.00%, and the 8-click burst still saves all 8.

Implements the architecture change from ai_prompts/prompt3.md:
- New app/click-frames.js: shared timestamped frame ring + strict
click-to-frame pairing (never a frame whose grab started after the
click); legacy slack behavior kept behind capture.strictClickFrames=false.
- New stream capture backend (app/stream-backend.js + hidden worker
window): per-display desktop media streams sampled into ring buffers
and PNG-encoded entirely off the main process, so click delivery is
never starved by capture work. Auto-degrades to the legacy in-process
frame loop when streams cannot start or the worker stops answering.
- Clicks are paired with their frame at event time (eager pairing in
enqueueClickCapture); only the storing is serialized, so slow encodes
cannot skew later clicks in a fast burst.
- Linux watcher: restored event-time root coordinates from
xinput test-xi2 and merge raw/regular twin events structurally.
- Replaced the 40ms time debounce with source-aware duplicate
suppression: fast legitimate clicks are never dropped.
- New app/coords.js: physical-to-DIP conversion with multi-monitor and
scale-factor handling; Windows keeps screenToDipPoint.
- STEPFORGE_CLICK_SELFTEST end-to-end hook: 3/3 clicks become steps via
the stream backend with 0.00% marker offset on this host.
- Tests rewritten/added: strict selection, coords, stream backend,
Linux coordinate parsing, twin merge, burst clicking (126 passing).
