Draft commit message:

  fix(spoolbuddy): gate display wake on stable scale reading

  A noisy load cell that bounced ≥50 g around its midpoint kept the kiosk
  screen permanently lit. The wake threshold check ran against last_wake_grams
  which itself advanced to noisy values, so every bounce back across 50 g
  re-fired display.wake(), keeping the FIFO reader pumping wlopm --on
  faster than swayidle could trigger wlopm --off.

  The fix gates wake on the scale's `stable` flag — only readings that
  have settled within 2 g over a 1 s window count as a real spool
  placement / removal. Unstable noise can't fire wake and can't advance
  last_wake_grams, so the next genuine settled change is still measured
  against the right baseline.

  Three regression tests pin the contract: noisy ±60 g unstable readings
  never wake, a settled >50 g jump wakes, a noise burst between two
  settled readings doesn't poison last_wake_grams.
