bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 9d85d4f116 Viewer: Auto resolution follows the magnification; minified frames are averaged (#417)
Cause: Auto dropped to Half below 75 % magnification, so text between
50 % and 75 % was rendered with fewer pixels than the screen shows and
looked soft. Below 100 % the frame texture was minified with a plain
bilinear sampler and no mip levels (Full at 46 % skipped most frame
pixels), so edges stair-stepped.

Fix:
- Auto renders the pixels the magnification needs, as in After Effects:
  the coarsest whole factor that still gives every screen pixel a
  rendered one (Full above 50 %, Half down to 33.3 %, Third down to
  25 %, Quarter below).
- GPU frames: the display texture carries a full mip chain, each level
  the 2 x 2 mean of the one above (display.wgsl `mip`, same bind group
  layout as `display`), sampled trilinearly with Viewer Zoom Quality
  More Accurate (Faster keeps the nearest pixel of the full-size frame).
- CPU frames (egui-wgpu textures have no mips): uploaded averaged down
  by the whole factor that leaves about one texel per screen pixel, the
  same box average as the texture-limit fit (#201), re-uploaded when the
  magnification calls for another factor; drawn with texture coordinates
  that keep each texel over its pixels when the size isn't a multiple.
  Show Channel / exposure textures follow.

Tests: gpu tests::display_frames_are_mipmapped (level count and level 1
= 2 x 2 means of level 0), viewer_tools
auto_resolution_follows_the_magnification (60 % was Half) and
minified_frames_keep_their_texels_in_place.
