-- _DeactivateFlushIfIdle() the moment the queue is empty. UNIT_HEALTH runs on
-- the DIRECT_APPLY path which never enqueues â†’ queue stays empty â†’ FlushTask

-- updating entirely. This is the exact failure-mode documented in MSUF's
-- "key learnings" ("Core._frameNow freezes when FlushTask OnUpdate idles").
--
-- Fix: drop the serial throttle. Use a secret-safe raw-HP diff to skip the
-- (already cheap) text pass when the HP value genuinely did not change.
-- _UFCORE_issecret is checked BEFORE any == compare so secret values never
-- hit Lua-side equality. Downstream ns.Text.Set / RenderHpMode have their
