 * its own palette so the gradient stays in lockstep while the colors
 * differ.
 *
 * Performance shape (per call, dominant cost):
 *   - One `Date.now()` read.
 *   - One `compile()` lookup per segment (Symbol-keyed cache slot, hot path
 *     skipped after first frame).
 *   - One ANSI open/close pair per **run of same-tier chars**, not per char.
 *   - No per-char allocations beyond the run buffer.
