feat: copy legacy OpenAdapt recording system into openadapt-capture (#9)

* fix: match legacy OpenAdapt recording architecture

- Action-gated video capture: only encode frames when actions occur
  (~1-5 fps) instead of every screenshot (24fps). This is the core
  reason legacy OpenAdapt was smooth — not just separate processes.
  Matches legacy RECORD_FULL_VIDEO=False default behavior.
- Video encoding in separate multiprocessing.Process (avoids GIL)
- Screenshots via mss (2-4x faster than PIL.ImageGrab on Windows)
- SIGINT ignored in worker process (main handles Ctrl+C)
- Non-daemon process ensures video finalization on shutdown
- First frame forced as key frame for seekability
- Fix wormhole FileNotFoundError on Windows (searches Scripts/ dir)

Legacy patterns matched:
- prev_screen_event buffering → _prev_screen_frame
- prev_saved_screen_timestamp dedup → _prev_saved_screen_timestamp
- RECORD_FULL_VIDEO option → record_full_video parameter
- SIG_IGN in worker processes
- mss with CAPTUREBLT=0 on Windows

* feat: copy legacy OpenAdapt recording system into openadapt-capture

Replace vibe-coded recording internals with proven legacy OpenAdapt code,
adapted only for per-capture databases and import paths.

New modules (copied from legacy):
- db/models.py: SQLAlchemy models (Recording, ActionEvent, Screenshot,
  WindowEvent, PerformanceStat, MemoryStat)
- db/crud.py: batch insert functions, post_process_events
- extensions/synchronized_queue.py: multiprocessing queue wrapper
- utils.py: timestamps, screenshots, monitor dims
- window/: platform-specific active window capture
- plotting.py: performance stat visualization

Updated modules:
- recorder.py: full legacy record() with multi-process writers,
  action-gated video, stop sequences, SIGINT handling
- capture.py: reads from SQLAlchemy DB, fixes session leak,
  mouse_pressed=None handling, disabled event filtering,
  adds dx/dy/button properties to Action
- config.py: all legacy recording config values
- video.py: legacy functional API wrappers
- cli.py: wired to new recorder
- pyproject.toml: added sqlalchemy, loguru, psutil, tqdm deps

Bug fixes:
- Reset stop_sequence_detected on re-entry (Recorder reuse)
- Close session on error in CaptureSession.load()
- Skip click events with mouse_pressed=None
- Filter disabled events in raw_events()

Tests: 118 passed + 6 performance tests (Windows-only)
Docs: updated README.md and CLAUDE.md to match new architecture

* fix: make pynput import conditional for headless CI

- Wrap Recorder import in try/except in __init__.py and test files
- Skip Recorder tests when pynput unavailable (no display server)
- Fix all ruff I001 import sorting violations
- Remove unused imports and variables

* fix(ci): exclude browser bridge tests and add timeout

Browser bridge tests hang indefinitely on headless CI due to async
websocket fixtures. Add pytest-timeout and a 10-minute job timeout.

 ## Key Components
 
 ### Recorder
-Main interface for capturing GUI interactions:
-- `__enter__` / `__exit__` - Context manager lifecycle
-- `record_events()` - Main capture loop
-- `event_count` - Total captured events
+Multi-process recording system (copied from legacy OpenAdapt):
+- `Recorder(capture_dir, task_description)` - Context manager
+- Internally runs `record()` which spawns reader threads + writer processes
+- Action-gated video capture (only encode frames when user acts)
+- Stop via context manager exit or stop sequences (default: `llqq`)
 
-### Capture
+### CaptureSession / Capture
 Load and query recorded captures:
-- `Capture.load(path)` - Load from directory
-- `capture.events()` - Iterator over raw events
-- `capture.actions()` - Iterator over processed actions
+- `Capture.load(path)` - Load from capture directory (reads `recording.db`)
+- `capture.raw_events()` - List of Pydantic events from SQLAlchemy DB
+- `capture.actions()` - Iterator over processed actions (clicks, drags, typing)
+- `action.screenshot` - PIL Image at time of action (extracted from video)
+- `action.x`, `action.y`, `action.dx`, `action.dy`, `action.button`, `action.text`
+
+### Storage
+SQLAlchemy-based per-capture databases:
+- Each capture gets its own `recording.db` in the capture directory
+- Models: Recording, ActionEvent, Screenshot, WindowEvent, PerformanceStat, MemoryStat
+- Writer processes get their own sessions via `get_session_for_path(db_path)`
 
 ### Event Types
-- Raw: `mouse.move`, `mouse.down`, `mouse.up`, `key.down`, `key.up`, `screen.frame`, `audio.chunk`
-- Processed: `click`, `double_click`, `drag`, `scroll`, `type`
+- Raw: `mouse.move`, `mouse.down`, `mouse.up`, `mouse.scroll`, `key.down`, `key.up`
+- Processed: `mouse.singleclick`, `mouse.doubleclick`, `mouse.drag`, `mouse.scroll`, `key.type`
 
 ## Testing
 
 ```bash
-uv run pytest tests/ -v
+# Fast tests (unit + integration, no recording)
+uv run pytest tests/ -v --ignore=tests/test_browser_bridge.py -m "not slow"
+
+# Slow tests (full recording pipeline with pynput synthetic input)
+uv run pytest tests/ -v -m slow
+
+# All tests
+uv run pytest tests/ -v --ignore=tests/test_browser_bridge.py

 ## Event Types
 
 **Raw events** (captured):
 - `mouse.move`, `mouse.down`, `mouse.up`, `mouse.scroll`
 - `key.down`, `key.up`

 - `mouse.singleclick`, `mouse.doubleclick`, `mouse.drag`
-- `key.type` (merged keystrokes → text)
+- `key.type` (merged keystrokes into text)
 
 ## Architecture
 
+The recorder uses a multi-process architecture copied from legacy OpenAdapt:
+
+- **Reader threads**: Capture mouse, keyboard, screen, and window events into a central queue
+- **Processor thread**: Routes events to type-specific write queues
+- **Writer processes**: Persist events to SQLAlchemy DB (one process per event type)
+- **Action-gated video**: Only encodes video frames when user actions occur
