Master stabilized two of the three hand-built markdown fixtures by spacing
their event times, so the stats line's LLM segment stops depending on how fast
the replay ran. `markdown-images` was left on the old shape and kept failing
for exactly that reason — a different test each run, always the same one-line
difference.
Pin it the same way and record the segment its golden now always shows. This
supersedes the normalizer that dropped those segments outright, reverted here:
pinning the fixture keeps a real part of the page in the goldens instead of
hiding it from every one of them, and master's two goldens already record it.
`StatsLine` renders its LLM, tool-call, and throughput segments only while the
matching measurement exceeds zero, and all three are wall clock taken during
the replay. A machine that finishes a step inside one millisecond drops the
segment a slower one keeps, so a golden recorded what the recording machine's
speed was rather than what the page shows. Goldens across this suite already
disagreed about the LLM segment for that reason, and CI failed on whichever
test landed on a slow enough runner — a different test each run, always the
same one-line difference.
Tokenizing the values was never enough, because presence is what moves. The
normalizer now drops those segments outright, each taking one adjacent
separator so nothing is left holding a dangling separator or a doubled space,
and the recorded goldens are normalized the same way. `TTFT avg` stays: it
gates on a step count the fixture determines.
