feat(inference): use ratio (Nx) for diff tables; floor upper bound

Two follow-up tweaks to the per-interactivity throughput and AUC summary
tables introduced in 6db1e32:

1. Render multiplicative ratios (Nx) instead of percent-differences.
   - Throughput "% advantage vs baseline" sub-table → "Ratio vs baseline",
     cells now read "2.50×", "0.60×", etc; self-vs-self is "1.00×";
     "∞" kept (other reachable, baseline not); "−∞" replaced with "0×"
     using the same dark-red treatment for the symmetric case.
   - AUC table: drop the redundant "% vs primary" column entirely (the
     other three columns are already ratios), so columns are AUC + Ratio
     vs primary + Ratio vs secondary + Ratio vs tertiary, all in Nx.
   - New ratioColor() centered at 1.00× and log-symmetric: 3.00× → fully
     green, 0.33× → fully red, interpolating linearly in log space (so
     "2×" and "0.5×" land at matched saturations). WCAG-luminance text
     color preserved.

2. Column upper bound is now floor(globalMax/10)*10 instead of ceil, for
   both the throughput buckets and the AUC integration window. The last
   bucket is therefore always one at least one config actually reaches.

pareto.test.ts: spec sanity check now compares aucUnderFrontier against
an independent fine-grid trapezoidal reference computed inline, instead
of hard-coding expected AUC magnitudes that bake in a specific upper
bound — the new floor(...) rule, or any future window change, no longer
requires touching the test.
