A free-running vsync Present kept redrawing a mostly static tester, and device removal after standby left the swap chain unusable.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved recovery from graphics device interruptions and handling of graphics startup, resizing, and presentation errors.
  • Reduced unnecessary rendering when the window is minimized or obscured while continuing to check for controller input.
• Improvements
  • Updated windowed display setup for more reliable startup and display changes.
  • Rendering now responds to controller connections and pending interface updates, with pacing based on the configured or monitor refresh rate.

Walkthrough

The D3D context now returns status from swap-chain operations and creates swap chains with supported effect fallbacks. The application defers resizing, handles device removal or reset, and uses timed waits to schedule rendering and input polling.

Changes

D3D rendering and recovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Swap-chain creation and status-returning operations src/d3d_helpers.h, src/d3d_helpers.cpp	Create tries FLIP_DISCARD, FLIP_SEQUENTIAL, then DISCARD. The D3D context reports creation, resize, presentation, render-target, and refresh-rate operation results.
Application initialization and device recovery src/main.cpp	Initialization checks ImGui backend setup and applies the saved refresh rate after swap-chain creation. Device removal or reset triggers recreation of the D3D device, ImGui backend, and controller textures.
Deferred resize and timed rendering src/main.cpp	WM_SIZE queues dimensions for later resizing. The main loop handles minimized and occluded windows, checks resize and presentation results, and varies wait timing based on pending frames and controller connections.

_{A rabbit watched the swap chain gleam,
As frames arrived in steady stream.
If devices paused, they rose anew,
With textures loaded, waits timed too.
Then back to hopping, frame by frame.}

- Around line 152-170: Remove the calls to D3DContext::SetRefreshRate during
startup, device recovery, and Preferences confirmation so the windowed swap
chain is not resized to apply a refresh rate. Keep g_prefs.refreshRate for frame
pacing by updating the fixed 16 ms pacing interval to use the preference.
