Stability: Add outer try/except/finally with _running=False cleanup to all 6
processing loop methods (live, color_strip, effect, audio, composite, mapped).
Add exponential backoff on consecutive capture errors in live_stream. Move
audio stream.stop() outside lock scope.
Performance: Replace per-pixel Python loop with np.array().tobytes() in
ddp_client. Vectorize pixelate filter with cv2.resize down+up. Vectorize
gradient rendering with np.searchsorted.
Frontend: Add lockBody/unlockBody re-entrancy counter. Add {once:true} to
fetchWithAuth abort listener. Null ws.onclose before ws.close() in LED preview.
Backend: Remove auth token prefix from log messages. Add atomic_write_json
helper (tempfile + os.replace) and update all 10 stores. Add name uniqueness
checks to all update methods. Fix DELETE status codes to 204 in audio_sources
and value_sources. Fix get_source() silent bug in color_strip_sources.

Replace blocking REST-based capture tests with WebSocket endpoints that
stream intermediate frame thumbnails at ~100ms intervals, giving real-time
visual feedback during capture. Preview resolution adapts dynamically to
the client viewport size and device pixel ratio.
- New shared helper (_test_helpers.py) with engine_factory pattern to
avoid MSS thread-affinity issues
- WS endpoints for stream, capture template, and PP template tests
- Enhanced overlay spinner with live preview image and stats
- Frontend _runTestViaWS shared helper replaces three REST test runners
