The fullRowRepaint toggle existed only to bisect the black-bar repaint artifact,
which is now fixed, so drop it. Document the two remaining render-debug flags
(profile, debugRepaint) in the README.

KeyEncoder mapped TAB to a plain tab regardless of Shift, so Shift+Tab sent the
same byte as Tab. Apps that use backtab for reverse navigation (fish completion
menu, helix theme picker) never saw it. Emit CSI Z when Shift is held.

The persistent black bars in the partial-repaint path were clearRect leaving
the run's fractional edge pixels transparent, which showed the near-black pane
background as a seam against the adjacent un-repainted line. Confirmed with the
debugRepaint toggle: filling the span opaque removed the bars entirely.
Fill the repaint run with PANE_BACKGROUND (the default cell background) instead
of clearing to transparent; per-cell backgrounds paint over it as before. Safe
because the per-column path never runs while kitty graphics are present (those
force a full render), so no below-text image needs a transparent row canvas.

Diagnostic for the persistent black bars: fills each repaint run's cleared span
red instead of clearing to transparent. If the bars turn red they are spans
repaintColumns clears but never refills; if they stay black those pixels are
never touched by the per-column repaint and the cause is elsewhere.

cellWidth is fractional, so in repaintColumns the clearRect cleared a run's
edge pixel to full transparency while the background fillRect covered that same
pixel only partially (antialiased), leaving a ~1px part-transparent column that
showed the near-black pane background as a thin bar 1-2 cells before the cursor.
Full-row repaint hid it because the highlighted line is then one contiguous
fill with no internal junction.
Route the clear and the background fills through a shared columnX() that rounds
each column boundary to a whole device pixel, so run edges land on integer
pixels with full single coverage and adjacent runs tile seamlessly.

repaintColumns cleared and redrew only [start,end], but a neighbouring cell's
glyph can overhang into that span. The clearRect erased the overhang and the
neighbour was never redrawn, leaving black notches through the line 1-2 cells
before the cursor that survived until a full rerender.
Redraw text for a couple of extra cells on each side, clipped to the cleared
span, so overhang from just-outside cells is restored without touching their
own cell areas. Keeps the per-column repaint efficiency (vs the full-row
repaint debug toggle, which fixed the bars but repainted every dirty cell).

-Djprototerm.fullRowRepaint=true (or JPROTOTERM_FULL_ROW_REPAINT=1) bypasses the
per-column repaint in renderChanged and repaints the whole row, to bisect the
stale black-bar artifact that appears near the cursor and survives until a full
rerender.

The snapshot bucket lumped ghostty's native dirty-state update together with
the Java-side cell marshaling. Time them separately to see which half of the
~7ms/frame snapshot cost (now the dominant frame cost after the detectShift
hoist) is the real target.

rowFingerprint(row) is invariant across the delta loop but was recomputed for
every candidate delta, making shift detection O(rows^2 x cols) on large changes
(full-screen scroll). Precompute each changed row's hash once, dropping it to
O(rows x cols). Profiling showed fingerprint hashing at ~74% of frame time under
heavy scroll, dominated by this loop.

Gated behind -Djprototerm.profile=true (or JPROTOTERM_PROFILE=1), accumulates
per-frame nanos into snapshot/fingerprint/draw/frame-total buckets and dumps
to stderr every N renders. Splits the three suspected render costs: native
snapshot marshaling, fingerprint hashing, and canvas draw recording.
