The carousel stutter is the ark history memo re-cooling on a timer: rebuilding it costs ~60ms (sort + dedupe + gift resolve + secp256k1), and its 1.5s TTL meant an unhurried flick always hit a cold rebuild, stuttering the slide's tail — 'warms up if I keep going fast, cold if I pause, refresh reproduces' is the classic TTL-expiry signature. Now keyed on a state revision (_save bumps state._rev) so it's reused until the data actually changes and never re-cools between flicks. Diagnostics still on to confirm
