feat(vardiff): replace threshold-ladder with adaptive EWMA algorithm
Clean extraction of the best-performing vardiff algorithm from the simulation framework in #2154, with all test scaffolding, traits, and alternative algorithm implementations removed. The previous VardiffState used a fixed time-dependent threshold ladder and full retarget. This produced: - 6.6% median settled error (p99: 30% at low SPM) - 5–9 minute cold-start convergence (p90) - 33% detection rate for 10% hashrate declines (thermal throttle, failing ASICs) - 28% target overshoot during cold-start ramp (p99 at SPM 6) The new algorithm (EWMA + adaptive boundary + accelerating partial retarget): - Settled accuracy: <3% median error across all SPM - Cold-start overshoot bounded to <10% (was 28%) - Jitter: 0.03 fires/min at low SPM (was 0.06) — half the unnecessary retargets - Small-change detection: 85% reaction to -10% steps at SPM 6 (was 33%) - Transient disconnects recover in 1–2 fires rather than requiring a full cold-start ramp (20%/fire partial retarget vs old algo's 50–67% slash) - Asymmetric cost: loosening fires 3x faster than tightening, because loosening is free but tightening rejects in-flight shares Breaking: adds private fields to VardiffState (previously all-pub). Requires channels_sv2 major version bump. Public constructor API (new, new_with_min) and Vardiff trait interface are unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
