swung0x48 5617c5c3b3 [MG_IntegrationTest, docs] (P7): the texture upload shape becomes a gate, with the view remap inside the workload
P3b/P4b R-11 / D-D4, landing under the P7 program (PLAN-PH-P34B-P7.md 1.2, wave 2-D
package D2). P4a recorded the emission shape rather than gating it because the
per-storage-owner cursor with view/owner remapping was the next phase's and gating an
unfinished shape pins a non-answer. That work landed, so the RecordProperty block is
now EXPECT_EQ against a gold row MEASURED on this cursor, and the workload carries a
third texture written through a glTextureView so the remap is inside the counted
window.

The gold row, identical on monolith / inproc / spawn / tcp:
  emit=9 box=9 rect=0 jobs=9, client emitter 9
keyed on the workload constants by static_assert. P4a's emit=6 box=6 rect=0 jobs=6
was a two-texture workload with no client emitter and is not comparable.

The client half is read from MGPipeTextureEmitter::SubDataCount() rather than from
ctu=, and that is a correction: under spawn and tcp the two roles are two processes
whose PipeStats windows close on different Present cadences (measured ctu=13 against
emit=9, and usually not yet written when the case reads), so ctu == emit is not a
well-posed comparison there. The log field is kept as a record and asserted only
where the transport says the two are window-aligned - asking the NUMBER was the first
mistake, because the server publishes a readable ctu=0 under spawn and the comparison
silently became 0 == 9. PipeStatsWindow gains LastFromClientLog/LastFromServerLog.

Split/spawn/tcp arms added as explicit per-arm blocks rather than through
mgl_itest_register_split_arms: the macro hands every arm the shared environment, and
this case needs a lane marker, PipeStats period 1, a push mask and above all a
MOBILEGL_LOG_FILE_PATH private to the arm - the library opens the log "w", so two
entries sharing a path truncate each other and the failure looks exactly like "the
counter was never emitted".

Red-once (R-16): the prescribed flip of summedArea*4 >= unionArea*3 leaves the gate
GREEN, and that is a finding. Two gates downstream dominate it - the server needs
dirtyRectCount >= 2, and UnpackRingAvailable() zeroes the rect list by design ("one
box, one job", the existing Mali-cliff mitigation). So rect=0 is the policy's
intended output, not an accident of the scatter pattern. The red-once that bites
splits the union box in two AND disables the unpack ring: box=6 rect=3 jobs=12
against the gold, while 26 pixel cases stay green. Four attempts and their reasons
are in the note.

The Mali frame-time delta D-D4 asks for beside the gold is NOT schedulable - one
Redmi, an Adreno, no Mali part - and is recorded as a declared deviation in the
scenario header and MEASUREMENTS.md 13.3 rather than modelled.

Also corrects the three places that said the client emitter had not landed: the
scenario header, the CMake probe's comment, and gates-v1.md's re-run table.
TextureEmit.h's EmitOneLevel has been incrementing it.
