ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 f72d69c2b0 perf(display): skip preview work nobody reads (lazy checksum, 1 Hz snapshot writer) (#717)
Mid-scroll, update_display() no longer checksums every frame: it asks is_currently_scrolling() once per frame and reuses the answer, hashes only when dirty tracking can skip a static frame, and the preview snapshot asks its policy first and hashes only when a write or touch could follow (decide() is monotone, pinned by a property test). With the preview open the snapshot is written at most once a second (VIEWER_INTERVAL 1.0 s, was 0.2 s; the SSE stream re-read it once a second, so four encodes in five went unread); the stream now polls its mtime every 0.25 s (VIEWER_POLL_INTERVAL), so the preview stays about as fresh. The PNG is written at compress_level=1. --preview soaks are not comparable across this change.

Merged with #716: _scan_segments takes the frame's one scrolling answer and #716's static-handover pass-through, as soaked on ledpi (A B B A, 20 min each: main 0.118% / 0.113% late, with #716 and this 0.107% / 0.104%).

"""Tests for the snapshot write policy (src/common/snapshot_policy.py).
The invariants that matter:
- unchanged frames are NEVER re-encoded (the old code PNG-encoded identical
frames at 5 fps, 24/7)
- the file mtime never goes stale enough to trip the health check's 60s
degraded threshold (api_v3 get_hardware_status)
- a viewer gets the viewer cadence; no viewer drops to the idle keepalive
- decide() is monotone in frame_changed, which DisplayManager's lazy
frame hash relies on
