test: judge renderer retention after the async release lands - #14247

Conversation
testFiveTabRendererFootprintReturnsToOneRendererTargetAcrossHideRevealCycles failed intermittently on main (run 36012294467: cycle 2 ratio 0.485) and on #14239 (cycle 2 ratio 0.504). In both, cycle 1 read 0.0 and the failing cycle's one-renderer target sat 32-35 MB over the baseline; on #14239 the next cycle's target was back down to 225 MB, so the memory came back. releaseRenderer() only publishes an unrealize request. Ghostty's renderer thread applies it later, drains frame leases, and holds compositor-owned IOSurfaces until the queued layer clear finishes. The target was measured as soon as seven samples sat within 8 MiB (about 0.35 s), so on a loaded headless runner a plateau of not-yet-released memory was reported as retention. That timing is runner-dependent, not a renderer property. Keep sampling while the target is over the limit, for up to 20 s, and judge the lowest settled footprint. Also return free malloc pages before each measurement, since allocator caching is not renderer retention. Memory still held after the window fails exactly as before. The log line now records reclaim_wait so the distribution is visible. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

whether it settled, while preserving settlement requirements for the baseline
and peak measurements. In the reclaim loop, sample without asserting settlement
and use only settled samples to set targetFootprint or satisfy the allowedTarget
condition; fail if no settled target sample is observed before reclaim ends.

Review follow-up. The reclaim loop took the median of unsettled windows too, so the lowest of several could shave noise off the target. Only a settled window may now lower the target, and the loop also keeps sampling while the first target window has not settled, so a footprint still falling at the first measurement gets the same reclaim window instead of a "did not settle" failure. The failure message takes its percentage from retentionLimit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…al cycles (#14289) * test(renderer): settle the one-renderer baseline before the hide/reveal cycles The four initial evictions only publish unrealize requests, so the baseline was measured while their memory was still being freed. On #14239's shard 6 it read 232 MB while the same single renderer settled at 210 MB one cycle later; with the baseline inflated, cycle 2's five-renderer peak fell inside the noise allowance and the test failed its "must distinguish five realized renderers" guard (three runs in a row, with #14247's per-cycle reclaim wait already in place). The baseline now samples within the same bounded 20 s window until settled readings stop falling, and keeps the lowest. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(renderer): require two non-falling baseline readings in a row Review follow-up: a pending release can plateau through one settle window, so one non-falling reading could still stop on an inflated baseline.
