Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 892e3eae28 fix(udpscope): bound accumulated-burst chaining so packet loss cannot displace the trace
Forward-chaining each accumulated burst onto the previous one suppresses
arrival jitter, but an unchecked chain never recovers: one lost datagram, or a
declared sampling rate that differs from the producer's real one, dates every
later sample early for the rest of the run. The chain is now a prediction,
compared each packet against the arrival anchor and abandoned beyond
kBurstResyncThresholdS, which bounds the error instead of accumulating it.

Plan amended so the hrt-fit fallback (unusable here: the fit needs 32 packets
and is itself corrupted by bursty arrivals) cannot come back.
