chore(internals): add performance optimization skill

[coryrylan]

Introduced a new skill for diagnosing and improving WebGPU rendering performance, including guidelines for measuring and optimizing various aspects of GPU workloads. Added a performance diagnostic playbook to assist in identifying bottlenecks and selecting appropriate optimizations.

Blocked by: #243

Summary by CodeRabbit

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added a WebGPU performance skill and reference playbook. The guidance covers measurement, CPU/GPU diagnosis, benchmark execution, optimization selection, validation, and uncertainty reporting. Vale now accepts shaders.

Changes

WebGPU performance guidance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Performance workflow .agents/skills/guidance-webgpu-performance/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/guidance-webgpu-performance/references/performance-diagnostics.md	Defines repository inspection, workload measurement, bottleneck classification, benchmark use, optimization constraints, and validation requirements.
Diagnostic and optimization reference .agents/skills/guidance-webgpu-performance/references/performance-diagnostics.md	Documents JavaScript and GPU instrumentation, controlled experiments, critical-path analysis, synchronization precautions, and measurement-dependent optimization techniques.
Benchmark validation and supporting vocabulary .agents/skills/guidance-webgpu-performance/references/performance-diagnostics.md, config/vale/styles/config/vocabularies/Elements/accept.txt	Defines controlled benchmark comparisons and output validation. Adds a WebGPU reference link and accepts shaders in the Vale vocabulary.

- Line 44: Update the “Readback or query frames stall” guidance table to replace
the inaccurate “asynchronous fences or mapping” wording with
GPUBuffer.mapAsync() for readback completion, and reserve
GPUQueue.onSubmittedWorkDone() for the intentional out-of-band boundary
described elsewhere.

- Line 94: Update the workload-sampling guidance to require measurements below,
near, and above or exceeding the suspected crossover, ensuring results include
workloads after setup, memory, or grouping costs are amortized.
- Line 7: Update the heading in performance-diagnostics.md from “More than one
queue can limit a frame” to use “timelines” instead of “queues,” reflecting the
application, browser/driver, GPU, and synchronization timelines described by the
list.

- Line 15: Update the render-function wall-clock timing guidance to state that
it usually measures CPU-side work, but can also include synchronization waits
when awaiting GPUBuffer.mapAsync() or GPUQueue.onSubmittedWorkDone().
- Line 71: Update the resource-reuse guidance to remove the ambiguous “command
support objects” term; explicitly name only reusable WebGPU resource types, or
define the term as application-owned wrappers while excluding single-use
GPUCommandEncoder and GPUCommandBuffer instances.
