Vance Ingalls 21063c66d9 perf(producer): gate per-frame debug meta via optional isLevelEnabled (#383)
## Summary

Add an optional `isLevelEnabled(level)` method to `ProducerLogger` and use it to short-circuit per-frame HDR composite metadata construction in `renderOrchestrator` when the log level is above debug.

Closes Chunks 8C and 8D from `plans/hdr-followups.md`.

## Why

`Chunk 8C` of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. The per-frame HDR composite snapshot (every 30 frames) was building an `Array.find` + `toFixed` + struct allocation unconditionally and handing it to a debug logger that immediately discarded it at `level="info"`. On long renders, this is allocation pressure and CPU time wasted on log meta nobody reads.

`Chunk 8D` was investigated in the same pass and found to already be guarded — see below.

## What changed

- New optional `isLevelEnabled(level: ProducerLogLevel): boolean` on `ProducerLogger`.
- `createConsoleLogger` implements it.
- `renderOrchestrator.ts` per-frame HDR composite snapshot is now gated on `i % 30 === 0 && (log.isLevelEnabled?.("debug") ?? true)` — production runs at `level="info"` skip the meta-object construction entirely; custom loggers without the new method keep their existing behavior thanks to the `?? true` fallback.
- New `packages/producer/src/logger.test.ts` (17 tests) covering level filtering, meta formatting, the `isLevelEnabled` path, a hot-loop call-site simulation that asserts zero builder invocations at info level, and the `?? true` fallback for loggers that omit the method.
- `docs/packages/producer.mdx` gains a new "Logging" section documenting `ProducerLogger`, `createConsoleLogger`, `defaultLogger`, and the `isLevelEnabled` gating pattern.

**8D resolution (no code change).** `countNonZeroAlpha` / `countNonZeroRgb48` calls live behind `shouldLog = debugDumpEnabled && debugFrameIndex >= 0`, where `debugDumpEnabled` is itself driven by `KEEP_TEMP=1`. The pixel iteration is fully skipped on production runs already, so 8D needed no fix — verified during the 8C work.

## Test plan

- [x] `bun test` in producer — 17/17 logger tests pass; existing service tests unchanged.
- [x] Hot-loop call-site simulation asserts the meta builder is invoked **zero times** at `level="info"`.
- [x] `?? true` fallback preserves prior behavior for custom logger implementations that don't define the method.
- [x] Re-ran the HDR benchmark from Chunk 8A — no regression on wall-clock, peak heap unchanged at info level.

## Stack

Chunks 8C + 8D of `plans/hdr-followups.md`. Sits on top of the benchmark harness PR (Chunk 8A) so the optimization is measurable.
