Continuous streaming sampling: powermetrics now runs as a long-lived process, parsing every sample block — 100% time coverage, zero extrapolation error. The old approach (spawn every 5s, measure 1s, extrapolate) is gone, along with its ~17k process spawns/day overhead.
DRAM counted: idle power no longer drops to 0 — DRAM draw is added to the Combined total.
Sleep gap fix: gaps over 90s (sleep/outage) are no longer charged at full power.
Throttled disk writes: state/raw files flush every 5s instead of per-sample.
Cost now cumulative: daily cost at idle is literally fractions of a cent (Mac mini idles at 2–6W), so the panel and status bar now show cumulative cost with 3 decimals — a number that actually moves.
