The meter wrote React state from a requestAnimationFrame loop, and the hook
lives in TreatmentWorkspace — so every frame re-rendered the details editor,
the FDI chart, the lab panel and the history rail. About 7,200 whole-tree
renders across a two-minute recording, while the user is dictating.
Now samples every frame but publishes at LEVEL_POLL_MS, the rate the
elapsed timer already used. Peaks between publishes are carried forward, so
the meter stays responsive to transients rather than sampling at 10 Hz.
Also adds the catch the start path never had: new MediaRecorder() and
recorder.start() both throw on some browsers, and by then the stream is
live. The rejection went unhandled, the UI sat at 'idle' showing nothing,
and the browser's recording indicator stayed lit until unmount.
