Sylpheed port agent ace071dd7b port: delete exit_ramp_units, invert the format's own rule, and guard a scale-0 leaf
FOUR THINGS, and the first is what MISSION section 3 calls the measure of
progress.

DELETED `exit_ramp_units` AND `exit_ramp_seconds`. They were authored because the
disc had no time slot on a group's final keyframe, so the ramp into it was the
one unknown duration per screen. Under the corrected record layout that keyframe
does not exist -- a group is an 8-byte header then frames x {u32 time; 36-byte
pose} and every pose is timed. VERIFIED DEAD BEFORE DELETING: setting it to 9999
(166 s) moved the boot's transitions by 0.04 s, which is wall-clock jitter, and
both uses in ScreenView are gated on a condition that no longer fires on any of
the export's 866 keyframes.

INVERTED THE FORMAT'S OWN RULE. `check.rs` enforced "the final keyframe has no
`t`; the disc has no time slot there" and FORMAT.md stated it. Both are now
backwards, and the validator fired 150 times on a re-export. I had not run
`check` between pinning the tag and measuring against the oracle -- the pixel
harness was green while the format validator was failing on every screen with a
multi-keyframe group. A correctness harness does not replace a format one; they
fail at different layers.

GUARDED A SCALE-0 LEAF, which the Decoder hit in its own renderer: its leaf
branch marked the element drawn unconditionally while the blit returned early on
zero scale, so a scale-0 leaf suppressed its parent and blanked the element --
live on all four loading screens. This port did not have the bug only because
authored/rendering.json happens not to list pgloading_loop5. That is an accident
of a gate written for another reason, not a defence, so `_draw_leaf` now reports
whether it drew and `_draw` falls back to the parent.

ISOLATED THE PACING QUESTION rather than leaving it as a suspected regression.
Legacy association: publisher 4.70 agrees, developer 3.92 DIFFERS. Corrected:
publisher 4.26 DIFFERS, developer 3.62 agrees. Both misses are ~0.03 s outside a
composite bound. The association traded which screen is marginally out; it did
not regress the pacing.

Bumped the pin c -> d for the parser and audio changes. Its headline renderer
change does not reach this port: sylpheed-cli builds from the workspace crate.

# tools/port/verify-dwell
#
# WHY THIS IS A TOOL AND NOT A ONE-OFF. Doing it by hand once already refuted a
# 🔴 I had filed myself: `docs/port/BLOCKED.md` said `rest.t` was the wrong settle
# landmark AND that "everything the sequencer paces off it is therefore late".
# The first half is true; the second was wrong, and I nearly re-paced screens
# that already matched the game to 0.05 s.
#
# ⚠️ A PORT'S TRANSITION INTERVAL IS NOT THE ORACLE'S VISIBLE SPAN. They differ
# by the black hold between screens, and confusing the two cost this corpus 0.6 s
# once and 0.48 s on the plate delay. So the comparison here is explicit: the
# port's interval is checked against the oracle's span PLUS the measured hold.
#
# 🔴 AND THE VERDICT DOES NOT COME FROM THE FILMSTRIP ANY MORE. It used to
# measure ink spans from `--film` frames. The boot's black hold is 0.17-0.23 s
# (HANDOFF Q7) -- shorter than the 0.25 s cadence meant to observe it -- so when
# the black frame fell between samples two screens merged into one span and this
# tool reported `developer logos` as 93 s against an oracle of 3.5 s. Filming at
# 0.1 s made it WORSE: 2.5x the screenshots slows the run enough that the capture
# catches up in bursts, and the publisher span came back as 7.80 s.
#
# The sequencer already knows exactly when it changed screens and prints it.
# Sampling a picture to rediscover a number the program can state is how this
# went wrong. The filmstrip is kept, and marked advisory.
#
# THE EXPECTED NUMBERS ARE THE ORACLE'S, NOT THE PORT'S: three cold boots from
# `docs/re/boot-order-and-splash-dwell.md`, quoted as a test fixture. Nothing in
# the port derives them and nothing may.
