perf(virtual-chat): narrow debug-info effect + bench infra (closes #11, #12) (#20)

* test(perf): add cascade-bumps and heap-alloc metrics to perf-bench

Closes the two remaining blind spots in the bench harness:

- `cascadeBumps10s` — counts cache-version bumps over the rolling
  window by sampling `debugInfo.heightCacheVersion` (a new field on
  the public debug type) on every `onDebugInfo` fire and on every
  refresh tick. The first/last delta in the window is the bump
  count. Direct measurement of what #9-class coalescing
  optimizations move: pre-#9 a 5k-load post-mount burst would
  produce ~20 bumps; post-#9 produces 1.
- `heapAllocKbPerSec` — sums positive `performance.memory.usedJSHeapSize`
  deltas across rAF ticks and divides by window seconds. Catches
  sub-LoAF allocation reductions like #10's slice cache where
  frames stay under 50ms but per-frame allocations drop. Chrome-only.

Both fields render `n/a` in the debug strip when their underlying
APIs aren't available, matching the existing `longTaskSupported`
pattern.

The runner script gains `--enable-precise-memory-info` on chromium
launch so the heap metric isn't quantized to 100KB granularity.
Note: even with the flag, headless Playwright reports 0 for most
rAF deltas (Chrome's `performance.memory` is lazily sampled and
doesn't always refresh for `page.evaluate` calls). The metric is
still useful in a real DevTools session, which is the actual user-
facing path for this fixture.

`scripts/perf-bench.mjs` extracts both new fields so PR before/after
tables can compare them.

Initial baseline (post-#10 + post-#9 main, fresh capture):

  load5000 cold:  cascadeBumps=12  heapKbPerSec=0
  smoothScroll:   cascadeBumps=211 heapKbPerSec=0
  stream.final:   cascadeBumps=298 heapKbPerSec=0

The 12 bumps on load5000 reflect the 5k-message mount distributed
across multiple coalescing windows (each row's ResizeObserver firing
in its own animation frame). 211 cascade bumps during smooth scroll
is t... (continued)
