Martino FerrariandClaude Opus 4.6 f97fd825c4 fix(udpscope): stop a wrong hrtDt from displacing the trace permanently
On the hrt branch the derived period is not just a spacing: it is the
burst width ClockOffset latches against, so a wrong one shifts the whole
trace by an amount that is usually too small for kRecalibThresholdS to
ever heal. Three routes to a wrong period were open.

Packet loss. elapsed spans every packet since the last one seen, but it
was divided by prevAccCount alone, so a lost datagram scaled the period
by the whole counter gap. Since a burst is anchored on its LAST element,
too wide means it ends in the FUTURE: +22.5 ms for one loss, +225 ms for
ten, at 10 samples per 25 ms packet, mis-spacing 2.7% of all samples at
1% loss. The declared branch already reads the counter for exactly this;
the hrt branch now does too.

Producer restart and reorder. Both leave elapsed at zero, so no period
can be measured -- and the restart packet is also the one that re-latches
after offset.reset(). Falling back to kDefaultDt is only right at 1 kHz;
measured standing displacement was +13.5 ms at 10 samples per 25 ms and
-89 ms at 100 per 10 ms. Remember the last measured period instead.

A stray hrt == 0 packet re-enters the warm-up branch, which spans from
packetBurst's lastPacketWall -- a field the hrt branch never wrote, so it
still held the start of the session. After 153 packets that emitted a
burst 3.8 s in the past, worse the longer the scope had run.

Also: rule 2 with no declared rate stacked every element of the array on
one instant (as UDPSourceSession.cpp:522 does, harmlessly, for a
host-local consumer). Spread it from consecutive time-signal anchors,
which measure the burst on the producer's own clock.

Reverts the previous commit's wallElapsed <= 0 change: it was measurably
inert -- the step floor two lines below already yields the same number --
and its comment claimed a divergence it did not stop.
