Hakan SevenandClaude Opus 4.8 0f61a2e582 perf(render): share one GPU wire buffer across slots by content id
Each pipeline slot owned its own gpu_wires: every paper viewport and every
Model tile rebuilt an identical resident wire set into its own GPU vertex
buffers and its own handle index. With N content viewports drawing one shared
tessellation that is N copies of the (potentially huge) wire buffers in VRAM
plus N batch+index builds on every content change — the issue-131 memory
exposure multiplied by the viewport count.

A wgpu::Buffer is internally ref-counted, so sharing a WireGpu by Arc shares
its GPU allocation. Make Pipeline.gpu_wires an Arc<Vec<WireGpu>> (and
wire_handle_index an Arc<map>), turn upload_wires into build_wire_buffers(&self)
that returns those Arcs, and add MultiPipeline.wire_buffer_cache keyed by
wire_content_id. prepare() builds an entry once on a cache miss and hands Arc
clones to every slot with that id — so N viewports (and, since one MultiPipeline
backs all panes, N panes) upload the wire vertices exactly once between them.
Camera uniforms and scissor stay per-slot, so the draw still issues one call per
viewport with the right view; only the geometry is deduplicated. The shared Vec
is never mutated in place — only reassigned on a content change — so the sharing
is sound.

The cache drops entries no slot still references (Arc::strong_count == 1) once it
passes a small bound, so a live buffer (held by any pane) is never evicted.
Model multi-tile gets the same dedup for free, and two panes showing the same
model now share buffers.
