The main loop rendered EVERY draw_scene in arrival order, so any render
slowdown played the mission slower than real time and the view drifted
seconds behind the game (user: "renderer fell way out of sync"); the
backpressure hides in the socket, so backlog= stayed 0. Now each pass
slices all complete records, applies every state record in order, and
presents only the newest frame; superseded presents are counted in the
new skipped= report field. Live verdict over a full mission:
frames=10169 skipped=3 backlog=0B -- locked to the wire.
Also from the tuner session: seat trim granularity 0.1 (0.5 was too
jumpy) and a HUD size trim (vrview_gl u_scale + VRVIEW_HUDSCALE env,
live +/- keys) -- tuners stay enabled for pilot feedback; seat trim
turns out to be per-mech (Mad Cat vs Thor want different values).
