docs: record the three noise-rejection controls and their invariants

README gains the three controls where each lives -- the trigger's `band`/`reject`, the
measurement's `noise`/`hf`, and the math channel's `de-noise` node -- each with its unit, what
"off" is, and what it costs, plus the two deliberate deviations from the design spec next to the
features they belong to: the band applies to `edge` and `window` only (a pulse's width is measured
from a crossing to its return, so a band there changes the measured width rather than rejecting
noise; a dropout is an absence with no level to compare), and the band is verified through
`BufferSearch` hit counts rather than `[condition-probe]` latch times, because probe-readings.md
states that a `t0` is not an assertion.

The invariant docs gain the rules a later change must not break: `EventCondition`'s two new fields
and the once-per-packet `configure(dt)` that must not reset; the crossing rule that a change is
between two *decided* sides; the measurement path's exception to "a readout quotes a stored
sample", why the band moves the edge decision only, why `measure_accumulate` loops samples outer,
and why a filtered window disables both bucket fast paths; that `MathOp` is append-only (the index
*is* the serialisation), that the median window is pooled in the runtime rather than held per node,
why the pole reuses `b0`/`z1`, and that median-then-pole is the design; the session's named
`noise`/`hf` keys and its thirteen-field node string that still reads twelve; and the two GTK
traps -- positionally brace-initialised dialogs, and a control that cannot apply being hidden
rather than disabled.

@@ -45,6 +45,18 @@ Part of [CLAUDE.md](../../CLAUDE.md). These are rules that cost a defect to lear
be **negative** when the new ring starts after the edge. That is a faithful reading, not a
defect: `[-pre_s, post_s]` still describes the samples the snapshot holds. The guard is
`UDPSCOPE_PROBE_TRIGRENUM_MS`, whose `t0_held=1` is the assertion.
- **`EventCondition` carries the trigger's own rejection: `noise_band` and `hf_fc`.** Both are in the
struct's `operator==`, so a change to either *is* a change to the condition. `EventDetector::configure()`
takes `dt` and early-returns only when the condition **and** the interval are unchanged -- it runs on
*every packet*, so a configure that reset unconditionally would restart the machine before any pulse could
close. `dt` is `Partition::slot_dt()`, the *stored* interval and not the CONFIG's nominal rate, and comes
from exactly three call sites (`acquisition.cpp`, `ui_trigger.cpp`, `ui_probe.cpp`); a zero there leaves
the reject's coefficient at 1, which is a pass-through.
- **A crossing is a change between two *decided* sides, never a change from the undecided one.** The band
makes each sample decide above / below / undecided, and an edge is counted only when the signal has reached
the far threshold of the side it is leaving. Seeding the previous side from `0` -- the undecided code --
fires on a signal that starts *inside* the band and leaves it without ever reaching the level, an event the
trigger is not supposed to see.
- **A pinned window is *clamped* into the event every frame, and a zoom in is allowed.**
While an event is held, a capture is filling, or the view is paused, `tick()` calls
`RowSet::hold_pinned_window()`, which caps the span at `[-pinned_pre_, +pinned_post_]`'s and
