Introduces Synchronization Clocks — shared, controllable time bases
that CSS sources can optionally reference for synchronized animation.
Backend:
- New SyncClock dataclass, JSON store, Pydantic schemas, REST API
- Runtime clock with thread-safe pause/resume/reset and speed control
- Ref-counted runtime pool with eager creation for API control
- clock_id field on all ColorStripSource types
- Stream integration: clock time/speed replaces source-local values
- Paused clock skips rendering (saves CPU + stops frame pushes)
- Included in backup/restore via STORE_MAP
Frontend:
- Sync Clocks tab in Streams section with cards and controls
- Clock dropdown in CSS editor (hidden speed slider when clock set)
- Clock crosslink badge on CSS source cards (replaces speed badge)
- Targets tab uses DataCache for picture/audio sources and sync clocks
