Vance IngallsandClaude Opus 5 cb30157ebb feat(engine): open drawElement fast capture to Windows hardware GPU
Widen the default-on drawElement clamp from darwin-only to darwin|win32
(still requiring a non-software-GPU browser). The darwin restriction was a
validation envelope, not an architectural limit — the CanvasDrawElement
Chrome flag ships on every platform, and every safety layer that made the
macOS default-on release (v0.7.38) survivable is platform-neutral:
compile-time gates, the SwiftShader init gate, per-render worker-encode
self-verification with screenshot fallback, and the blank guard. Worst case
on an unvalidated D3D11 backend is the same as on Metal: verify catches a
bad frame and the render re-runs on the screenshot baseline.

Why now: 30-day telemetry shows ~206k non-CI hardware-GPU Windows renders
(~78% of the win32 fleet, 18k installs) held on the slow screenshot path by
the clamp — the second-largest perf population after macOS, carrying ~1,550
capture-hours/month in the DE-eligible >=700-frame band alone at a measured
~2x speedup opportunity.

Instrumentation for the new cohort: drawElement session init now records the
raw WebGL UNMASKED_RENDERER_WEBGL string (detectSwiftShader generalized to
detectGpuBackend — same single evaluate, the string was previously read and
discarded) and threads it session -> CapturePerfSummary -> RenderPerfSummary
-> render_complete as `gpu_renderer`. drawElement damage proved
compositor-backend-specific throughout the macOS rollout, so D3D11-cohort
failures must cluster by ANGLE backend + GPU vendor (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel), not
just `os`.

The two DE clamp branches are extracted into a pure, unit-tested
`resolveDefaultDrawElement` (platform + GPU mode + worker-encode + explicit
opt-in), which also drops resolveConfig's cyclomatic complexity. The win32
streaming-encode compound tests collapse onto one shared helper.

Linux stays excluded: that fleet is headless/Docker SwiftShader, where DE
has no speedup and known rendering defects. Kill switches unchanged:
PRODUCER_EXPERIMENTAL_FAST_CAPTURE=false, --experimental-fast-capture=false.
