felixm 682eb603fa fix(evidence): X11 sensor polls so tab/title changes are tracked
The X11 source only re-read the active window on _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW
changes, so switching a browser tab — which changes the window title
but not the active window — was invisible. All the time on the new tab
was credited to the stale title (e.g. reading a Consume article showed
up as time on the Keel tab).

Mirror the Windows sensor: poll the active window every 750ms and emit
only when the window or its title changes. A shared, display-free
pollLoop carries the change-dedup and is unit-tested for the exact
regression (a title-only change must emit).

// pollLoop samples the active window via read and forwards snapshots through
// onChange, but only when the observation changes — a different window OR a
// different title. The title case is the one that matters: switching a browser
// tab changes the window title without changing the active window, so a sensor
// that re-reads only on active-window events never sees it and credits the stale
// title. Polling re-reads on a fixed cadence, so a tab switch is caught within
// one interval.
//
// It emits once immediately, then samples every interval, until ctx is
// cancelled. WindowSnapshot is comparable, so the change check is a plain
// equality. Factoring the loop here keeps the change-dedup identical across
// sensors and lets it be tested without a display. (The Windows sensor predates
// this and keeps its own equivalent loop.)
