fix(studio): surface a render panic instead of caching an empty frame - #290

`render_frame` panics on failure (`.expect("render frame")`, `.expect("rgba matches dimensions")`, `.expect("encode jpeg")`). Because the panic happens in the scoped child thread and is consumed by `join().unwrap_or_default()`, the `catch_unwind` wrapper in `view.rs::serve_or_render` never fires — so `fail_ledger().record_failure(key)` is unreachable on that path and the whole retry-budget mechanism is dead code for the on-demand asset handler. Instead the empty `Vec` is treated as a successful render: `frame_cache().insert(key, rendered.clone(), ...)` caches zero bytes, and the responder replies `200 image/jpeg` with an empty body. The canvas shows a permanently broken image for that (generation, frame, scale) and the cache guarantees it is never re-attempted. (The prefetch worker path calls `render_frame` directly and is correctly fenced.)
