/// The renderer never creates, binds or resizes a framebuffer: `begin_frame()`
/// takes the framebuffer size for the projection and a `Rect` for the region the
/// plot occupies, clears exactly that region (`GL_SCISSOR_TEST` around the clear,
/// so a host that has already painted the rest of its surface keeps it) and sets
/// `glViewport` to the flipped rect. That is the whole embedding contract of the
/// adapters (Qt/GTK/ImGui widgets).
///
/// Two properties drive the rest of the design:
///
/// - **Only the visible window is gathered.** A trace's x range is mapped onto
/// sample indices and `Series::gather` is asked for that window -- never the
/// whole series -- at `pyramid().level_for(n, samples_per_pixel)` whenever a
/// pixel covers `dense_threshold_spp` samples or more. A 100M-sample series
/// therefore stages O(pixels) vertices, and `FrameStats` records which way each
/// trace went.
/// - **Vertex data stays in data space.** Segments are staged in data
/// coordinates and mapped to pixels by the line program's `u_scale`/`u_offset`
/// uniforms, so nothing is ever baked into screen space per primitive; a log
/// axis is staged in the transform's pre-affine coordinate (`log10`), which is
/// what the affine part expects. Pan and zoom are uniform updates.
///
/// The vertex transfer itself is one of two strategies, chosen once in `init()`
/// from `plot::gl::caps()` and invisible to every caller afterwards: a
/// persistent-mapped, fence-guarded ring on 4.3+/ARB_buffer_storage, and the
/// orphan-and-refill baseline on 3.3. Setting `PLOT_FORCE_GL33_UPLOAD=1` in the
/// environment forces the baseline path, which is how both are exercised on one
/// machine. A driver that refuses the storage, a map or a fence drops the store
/// that hit it to the baseline path -- the ring is never rotated through without
/// a guard -- and the frame reports it (see `last_frame_had_gl_error()`).
///
/// Not thread-safe, and confined to the thread that owns the current context.
