Ink/react-reconciler in dev mode emits performance.mark/measure() on every
render. Without a PerformanceObserver, Node retains every entry in the User
Timing buffer forever — ~165 renders/sec in the TUI accumulate ~600MB of
PerformanceMeasure objects + diff strings ("Components ⚛", "Changed Props",
"– children", etc.) over 20-30min, which is what was OOM-crashing long dev
sessions. A 30s interval calling clearMeasures()/clearMarks() drains it.
Also teach scripts/dev-with-memory.mjs to forward --inspect /
--inspect-brk, plus auto-add --heapsnapshot-near-heap-limit=3 so any future
heap-limit OOM auto-dumps. The script now invokes node directly with tsx's
preflight + loader (resolved via require.resolve) instead of going through
the .bin/tsx wrapper, so the inspector attaches to the real app process
instead of a parent wrapper that exits before serving the websocket.
