handoff: F6 -- start the sweep just before the plate, and drop my frames-based rates

Delivers the two numbers the port needs (lead 0.79-0.80 baselines, period
13.93 baselines, each reproduced across two captures) and withdraws unit 8's
0.514 units/frame: captured frames differ 1.947x between runs, which is the
size of the port-vs-decoder disagreement we had left standing.

## F6 answered — the sweep leads the plate, and frame counts don't travel
`docs/re/f6-unit9-sweep-period-and-onset.md`, commit `ad83664`.
**Start the sweep shortly before the plate's fade-in, not at `t=0`.** At `t=0` it
is ~200 title units early. Measured lead: **0.798 / 0.791 baselines** across two
independent captures (0.9% apart) ≈ **40 title units** — under a second, which is
why the human read the sweep and the plate as simultaneous. Loop period is
**13.93 baselines** (13.905 / 13.953, 0.35% apart).
⚠️ **Any rate I have given in captured frames is withdrawn.** The same animation
took **1168** frames in one capture and **600** in the other (**1.947×**), the
baseline moving **1.953×** with it — frames are presents and the rate is per-run.
That includes unit 8's **0.514 units/frame**: a 1.95× run-to-run factor is
exactly the size of the port-vs-decoder gap we could not explain, so the 0.514
was most likely a pacing artefact of one capture. The port running the leaf at
1.0× is not the discrepancy it looked like.
🟡 Unresolved and deliberately not smoothed: within one capture the title clock
reads **1.0 units/frame** (`ptcopyright`, 22-unit ramp) and **0.571** (plate,
declared 12-unit ramp) — 1.75× apart. Either a declared ramp is misread or the
two are **not on one clock**, i.e. `clock: "shared"`. That is F4. Ratios above
need no clock and stand; the title-unit conversions wait on it.
