gromandClaude Opus 5 e4851df7df ui: WOW_UI_PHASES — the UI pass's phase split, windowed
`WOW_UI_TICK` measures `UiScript::tick`. `[sys-timing]` measures the Bevy system around it,
`ui_script::extract::tick_script`, which also runs the FontString measure round-trip and
`UiScript::resolve`. In a combat session the first read 38 ms/s — its lowest of the whole run —
while the second read 157 ms/s. Neither instrument was wrong, and 76% of the cost was in the space
between them, which is where the stutter players report lives.

`UiFrameCost` has carried the whole split since the hover recorder needed it, and `WOW_UI_COST=1`
prints it one line per frame: at this client's framerate, twenty thousand synchronous stderr writes
a minute from the thread being measured, which is the trap `sys_timing`'s header records costing
15 ms a frame. The split existed and was unusable in exactly the situation it was for.

So a window, and a worst column — a phase that is ruinous on one frame in a hundred has a mean near
nothing and is the only thing a player feels. `derives` is in the per-frame line because
`UiFrameCost::derives` is documented "expected zero", so a nonzero one names a whole-graph
re-derivation on sight.

`UiFrameCost::stamped` comes with it: the paint can return before any of its three arms wrote this
frame's phases, and a reader that cannot tell counts the previous frame twice.

Armed in ./measure.sh at 5 s, with the per-frame form left alone for the hover recorder.

//! The hover-cost recorder (`WOW_HOVER_LOG`): every frame to a CSV, tagged with what the tooltip
//! showed, and a report at exit ranking cost by tooltip state.
//!
//! `WOW_HOVER_LOG=1` writes `benilla-config/Diagnostics/hover-log.csv`; any other value is a path.
//! Columns per frame: wall time, process-CPU delta, the UI pass's phase split in microseconds
//! (the `WOW_UI_COST=1` marks), the mesh rebuild's split, and the tooltip (owner, line count,
//! first line). A spike with flat UI phases is not a UI-pass cost.
