re: record that stale-instrument was run for the logger change, and returned nothing

R1 asks for tools/stale-instrument when an instrument improves. The draw
logger improved this iteration; all eight claims that <harness> killed are
about the SCREENSHOT harness -- polling cadence, x11grab latency, the
title/plate classifier -- and none of them ever used the draw logger, so
none re-open. Written down because 'ran it, nothing changed' and 'did not
run it' are otherwise the same absence.

## R1 housekeeping — `tools/stale-instrument` was run, and the answer is "none"
This iteration improved an instrument (the UI draw logger gained render-target,
resolve and pixel-shader-constant fields), so R1 requires asking what that
instrument had killed.
```
tools/stale-instrument harness # 8 claims
```
**None of the eight re-open by this change.** All eight are about the *screenshot*
harness — polling cadence, `x11grab` latency, the title/plate frame classifier,
the locale runs — and the draw logger is a different instrument that none of them
ever used. Recorded rather than left silent, because "I ran it and nothing
changed" and "I did not run it" are indistinguishable in a corpus otherwise.
The claims this capture *does* re-open are the four `render-vs-capture` and
`our-reader` entries around the splashes, and they are addressed in the
refutation section above rather than by the tool.
