saphidandClaude Sonnet 5.5 128e7a4c94 fix(tracking): never signal the eye-camera capture; finish cleanup exhaustively
Terminating eyetracking --calib left the DSP eye camera stuck streaming on the
Frame. Capture now lets the bounded run end by itself, deleting images
meanwhile, and only kills as a last resort. Also hardens Ctrl-C cleanup and
heart-check error handling.

"""Experimental pulse estimate from the Frame's IR eye-tracking cameras.
Skin brightens and darkens very slightly with each heartbeat as blood volume
changes (photoplethysmography). The eye cameras film the skin around each eye
under steady IR light at about 90 frames per second, so that rhythm may be
visible in the average brightness of small patches of skin.
Capture uses SteamVR's own `eyetracking --calib` mode, which writes PNG pairs
to /tmp. Each image is reduced to a grid of patch averages the moment it is
complete, then deleted; the capture directory is removed on exit. No image
leaves the Frame or outlives the run. This is an experiment, not a medical
measurement.
