* feat(producer,cli): drawElement priority inversion — single-worker streaming over auto-parallel

clamp:parallel eats 50% of local renders (1,326/fortnight; DE engagement
stuck at 3.8%) by routing multi-worker renders to unverified screenshot
capture. Benchmarks (2026-07-08, 4 comps x W1/W2/W3/W5) show that above the
~900-frame amortization crossover, single-worker VERIFIED drawElement
streaming beats screenshot-parallel at EVERY worker count (2,380f: 66s vs
109-127s; 3,600f: 33s vs 39-56s; parallel scaling flattens past W2), while
below it DE's fixed init cost loses by <=2.2s.

- shouldPreferSingleWorkerDrawElement (exported predicate + 7 unit tests):
  inverts an AUTO-resolved multi-worker render to workerCount=1 when the
  comp matches the benchmarked configuration — default-on DE (darwin
  hardware clamp upstream), no compile gate, no forced-screenshot hint,
  mp4 output, single-worker streaming eligible, and totalFrames >=
  HF_DE_SINGLE_MIN_FRAMES (default 900; 0 disables). Explicit --workers N
  is always honored.
- Inverted renders keep the probe session and land on the worker-encode
  streaming drain — the ONLY path with runtime self-verification, so this
  moves ~40% of previously-clamped renders onto the verified fast path.
  Comps that later hit an init-time gate (~1.5% of local renders) render
  single-worker screenshot streaming; accepted trade.
- Telemetry: de_worker_inversion on render_complete (orchestrator ->
  perfSummary.workerInversion -> CLI), plus the worker_resolution
  observability checkpoint now records deWorkerInversion.

Validation: e2e matrix on 2,381f comp — auto->5 workers inverted to 1,
DE verified 4x inf PSNR, RENDER_OK; short comp (360f) auto stays 5-worker;
explicit WORKERS=3 honored; HF_DE_SINGLE_MIN_FRAMES=0 disables. Canary
suite 7/7 (PSNRs identical). renderOrchestrator tests 86/86.

* fix(producer): review fixes — inversion routing guards, calibration skip, retry revert

Max code-review round on the inversion (13 confirmed findings):

- Streaming spawn-failure disk fallback now clamps default-on drawElement
  (deClampReason=disk_path, DE-mode probe closed) exactly like the
  pre-capture clamp — previously it carried useDrawElement=true onto the
  unverified disk path, the hole the verified-path confinement exists to
  close, newly reachable for every inverted render.
- Predicate gained the routing knowledge it was blind to: layered/HDR and
  shader-transition comps (drawElement never runs there), supersampling
  (deviceScaleFactor>1 init gate), a probe session whose init gates already
  disengaged DE, and the PRODUCER_EXPERIMENTAL_FAST_CAPTURE=true explicit
  parallel-DE opt-in (honored like --workers N).
- Eligibility is evaluated BEFORE capture calibration and skips it when the
  inversion pins workers to 1 regardless of the estimate — the throwaway
  calibration browser + sample captures cost ~41s on the 2,381-frame
  benchmark comp (auto render: 111.6s -> 70.1s total).
- Self-verify retry reverts the inversion: the re-render returns to the
  pre-inversion parallel screenshot path (disk) instead of single-worker
  screenshot streaming, the slowest shape for exactly the comps drawElement
  damages.
- HF_DE_SINGLE_MIN_FRAMES="" (set-but-empty) now falls back to the 900
  default instead of aliasing the 0 kill switch.
- Timeout advisory uses the RESOLVED worker count — an inverted render that
  times out no longer prints "Retry with --workers 1" (the configuration
  that just failed).
- Telemetry: deWorkerInversion recorded in capture observability (failed
  renders are attributable), emitted as literal false when not fired
  (queryable denominator), and the drawElement perf input shape is one
  exported DrawElementPerfInput type instead of three copies.
- Tests: requestedWorkers undefined (the value production actually passes)
  + the four new predicate guards; 91/91.

Validation: e2e auto render — calibration skipped (deInversionEligible),
inversion fires, DE verified 4x inf, total 70.1s (was 111.6s);
HF_DE_SINGLE_MIN_FRAMES=0 restores calibration + parallel; canary suite
7/7 (PSNRs identical); tsc/oxlint/oxfmt clean.

* fix(producer,cli): review round 2 — loss-cohort telemetry, retry-plan helper, boundary tests

- de_worker_inversion is now a tri-state string ("inverted" | "reverted" |
  "none") instead of a boolean: the self-verify retry marks the render
  "reverted" rather than resetting to false, so the dashboard can segment
  the lost-inversion cohort first-class instead of inferring it from
  deSelfVerifyFallback + frame-count joins (james-russo #1).
- The retry rollback is extracted to resolveInversionRetryPlan (pure,
  exported) with unit coverage: pre-inversion worker-count restore,
  streaming re-resolution (multi-worker retry -> disk), "reverted" state,
  null when never inverted (james-russo #2).
- WOULD_RESOLVE_MULTI_WORKER named constant replaces the bare sentinel 2
  (james-russo #5); minFrames: -1 boundary case added (miga #3).

94/94 renderOrchestrator tests; tsc/oxlint/oxfmt clean.

* feat(producer,cli): emit de_pre_inversion_workers for the parallel counterfactual

The ramp-down decision needs "did DE beat the parallel render it displaced",
not just "did DE beat single-worker screenshot". Emitting the worker count
the auto-resolution chose BEFORE the inversion pinned it to 1 makes the
parallel counterfactual computable per render (screenshot ms/frame from the
verify samples / W x the measured parallel-efficiency curve). Set only when
the inversion fired.

Smoke: 2,381f auto render -> de_worker_inversion="inverted",
de_pre_inversion_workers=5, mode=drawelement, verify armed 4. 99/99 tests.
