* NOT prevAccCount: elapsed spans every packet since the last one we
* saw, so a lost datagram makes the tick gap wider without making
* prevAccCount larger. Dividing by prevAccCount alone therefore returns
* a period scaled by the whole counter gap — 2x for one lost datagram,
* 11x for ten — which draws the recovery burst that many times too wide
* and, because the burst is anchored on its LAST element, ends it in the
* FUTURE (measured: +22.5 ms for one loss, +225 ms for ten, at 10
* samples per 25 ms packet). At 1% loss that mis-spaced 4.0% of all
* samples. The declared branch already reads the counter for exactly
* this purpose (`lost`, above); the hrt branch must too.
*
* The gap and `elapsed` must be measured from the SAME packet, or the
* division mixes references. That is why lastCounter is written under
* takeHrt below, in lockstep with lastAccHrt: a reordered datagram that
* rolled lastCounter back while leaving lastAccHrt alone would give the
* next in-order packet a gap of d+1 against an elapsed spanning one
* interval, dividing its period by d+1 — measured 0.5x the true spacing
* for a swap of neighbours, 0.048x for a distance of twenty.
*
* Unsigned subtraction wraps, which is what makes this right across the
* counter's own 2^32 rollover. A gap in the top half of the range is not
* a forward gap at all but a backward one seen through the wrap, so it
* is treated as no information rather than as 2 billion lost packets. */

* reaches the fallback but does not re-latch, and its measured standing

* that restarts having CHANGED its cycle time is remembered wrongly, and
