What's new

- Target time-to-die: estimated from a health ring buffer per target
  GUID, shown next to the OOM timer, and used to gate suggestions —
  DoTs are no longer recommended on mobs that won't outlive them
  (VT ~8s, SW:P ~6s, VE ~10s, Starshards ~8s, DP ~12s); on dying
  targets the priority falls through to direct damage, making SW:D
  the natural execute
- Racial DoT support: Devouring Plague (Undead) and Starshards
  (Night Elf) slotted above Mind Flay per standard TBC priority; DP
  is mana-gated at 60% since it's a DPS gain with a huge mana cost;
  tracker row is now laid out dynamically to fit the racial slot
- Inner Focus pairing alert: reminds you to spend IF on DP or SW:P
  (DoTs can't crit in TBC, so IF is a mana cooldown and belongs on
  the priciest DoT); holds IF for DP on Undead when DP is nearly ready
- Time-until-OOM display, projected from fight-average mana drain
  (anchored at combat start — stable, unlike a sliding window)
- Latency-aware DoT refresh windows via live world ping
- Post-fight report after 30s+ fights: SW:P/VT uptime, VT mana
  returned to the group, VE healing, MB/SW:D cast counts
- Layout fixes: left-aligned column, timer text centered on tracker
  icons, USE! label moved inside the pop-out icon, HIGH frame strata
  so action bars can't overlap the text
