run() stage 2: a pure Arbiter.decide() (src/display_arbiter.py) chooses scheduled-off, follower and WiFi notices; everything else takes the existing path. Golden traces byte-identical.

Control socket stage 2: the render thread wakes for queued commands (static screens ~1 ms, Vegas within one frame), brightness.set, and plugin.reload after a store update, with mailbox/restart fallbacks. Rig checks listed in the PR body are still to run.

A static plugin screen that follows a scroller no longer starts with the ticker's lagging rows on scan-compensated panels, and the 1 Hz loop's second frame is no longer recorded as a ~1 s mid-scroll freeze / Render stall. The display controller calls DisplayManager.end_scroll_for_static_screen() before a static screen's first display() (clears the scan history; _scan_segments passes its frames through in one swap) and set_scrolling_state(False) after it; the scroller's hold stays until then, so late-frame counts are unchanged. A screen's first frame is tagged 'handover': gaps of 250 ms or more before it go to the additive handover_freezes (frame_soak prints 'Handover gaps'), not freezes. The display thread is named display-<plugin id>. The WiFi notice and the schedule-off blank are not covered yet (docs list them as a follow-up).
ledpi A B B A soak (20 min each, --preview): main 0.118% / 0.113% late with 6 / 3 freezes; with this and #717 0.107% / 0.104% late, 0 freezes.

Schedule and dim windows are half-open [start, end): on from the start time, off at exactly the end time, whatever second the check runs. An on-demand session that ends in scheduled-off hours (expiry or stop) clears the once-a-minute schedule gate, so the panel blanks within about a second. Golden: schedule; two test_display_pending_changes.py tests now say end_time 23:00.
Merged with #712 and #713: with all three in, docs/RUN_LOOP_REDESIGN.md's 'may be wrong' list is empty, so that section now records that all six items are fixed and by which PR.

A game that goes live takes over within about a second (_check_live_takeover in the frame loops and the dwell sleep, throttled to 1 s, never during on-demand, scheduled-off, live_in_ticker or an already-live screen); an interrupted Vegas iteration switches straight to the game; has_live_content() is asked once per plugin per scan. Goldens: live_priority, vegas.
Merged with #712: after an interrupted Vegas iteration the WiFi-notice check runs before the live switch (WiFi outranks live). Adds test/test_run_loop_wifi_and_live.py, pinning that a notice and a game arriving during the same screen (1 Hz, 125 Hz, Vegas) show the notice first, then the game, and neither while scheduled off.

A WiFi notice preempts the current screen within about a second (frame loops, post-loop check, make-up dwell), and an interrupted Vegas iteration that yielded for a notice ends the pass so the notice shows next. Goldens: wifi_notice, vegas. First of three run-loop fixes (#712, #713, #714), pre-tested together.

The first-frame dispatch (_dispatch_first_frame) now asks PluginExecutor.execute_display() to re-raise (raise_errors=True) and records a raise inside the executor as a breaker failure, with the original exception as last_error, instead of a success. The screen is still an empty pass and rotation is unchanged; a hung display() is still recorded once, as a hang. The run-loop golden trace plugin_error.json is regenerated (crashy now records health failures and is skipped by the breaker), and behaviour 7 is dropped from docs/RUN_LOOP_REDESIGN.md.

Adds golden trace tests for DisplayController.run() (test/test_run_loop_golden.py on a fake clock with fake plugins, 15 scenarios, fixtures in test/fixtures/run_loop_golden/) and moves twelve blocks of run() into named helpers (_dispatch_first_frame, _resolve_durations, _resolve_active_mode, _needs_high_fps, _advance_after_screen and others) with the traces identical before and after. docs/RUN_LOOP_REDESIGN.md describes the target structure. Hardware-checked on hdpi: Vegas late-frame rate unchanged in an ABBA A/B.
