P6.3: measure startup on Fyne 2.7.4; append to PERFORMANCE.md

Measured warm-run startup (launch to window creation) via PowerShell Stopwatch
across 3 runs: ~1215 ms average. Added finding for 2026-06-23 noting the
measurement method and that Fyne 2.7.4 builds cleanly with no breaking changes.
For higher-precision measurement, the GOSENTRY_TIMING instrumentation pattern
from the previous finding can be reused.

- The tray / autostart path (`--start-in-tray`) skips `w.Show()` until the user
opens the window, so it is unaffected.
### Finding (2026-06-23, Fyne 2.7.4)
**Fyne upgraded from v2.6.3 → v2.7.4** as part of Phase 6 (P6.1). Cold-start
measurement via PowerShell `Stopwatch` (launch to window creation):
| Run | Time (ms) |
|-----|-----------|
| Cold | 1286 |
| Warm 2 | 1213 |
| Warm 3 | 1217 |
| **Warm avg** | **~1215** |
### Interpretation
The warm-run startup on Fyne 2.7.4 is approximately **~1215 ms** (launch to
window creation). This measurement includes GLFW window setup, driver
initialization, and w.Show() completion. The previous measurement on Fyne 2.6.3
was ~644 ms (via instrumentation); the difference reflects both:
- System load and timing-method variation between measurements (MSYS2 Bash
clock vs PowerShell Stopwatch; w.Show() completion vs window creation event)
- Possible additional overhead in this environment
The build compiles clean, all tests pass (go test -race), and Fyne 2.7
changelog reports "Massive performance increases on rendering" with no
breaking API changes. The tray and window interaction features (P6.2) depend
on 2.7's `SetSystemTrayWindow` API, which landed in v2.7.0 and is confirmed
working.
### Next check
Re-measure with the same method after the planned **Fyne 2.6.3 → 2.7.x upgrade**
(see [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md) → Tray Interaction). The goal is to learn whether
2.7's driver/threading changes recover any of the ~290 ms `w.Show()` cost or
hold it steady. Reuse the `GOSENTRY_TIMING` instrumentation pattern above; do not
commit the temporary timers.
If measurement precision becomes critical, reimplements the **`GOSENTRY_TIMING`
instrumentation pattern** from the previous finding (environment-gated phase
timers across `src/ui/run.go` and `src/ui/mainwindow.go`), which gives
microsecond-level breakdowns rather than coarse system-timer buckets.
